Seriously, have any of you seen or read about this Cor Silver Soap thing? I read about it in a Bliss catalog what feels like a million years ago. And I was definitely intrigued (although in all fairness, it is incredibly difficult to not be intrigued by many of the products in the Bliss catalog because whoever writes their copy is absolutely brilliant!). Apparently it's not even technically called "soap" because it's a "treatment for the face". But at this point in my life, I can read between the lines and I know a bar of soap when I see one. And apparently it does everything…glowier skin, rosier complexion, fewer pores, less breakouts, vacuums the carpets, anti-aging, etc. Cor says it’s because their soap has a more favorable PH level for the skin in comparison to “ordinary” cleansers. Alas, I got to the most important part of the soap…the price. And in my world $125 is just a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a bar of soap. I mean…it’s SOAP.
And then I took the plunge (actually, my debit card took the plunge), and splurged on a trial-sized bar of the famous Cor Silver Soap (for $15). Because I was having an eh day at work, and I was in a place that was willing to give me a 5% discount on the soap…but I’ve decided that I will no longer justify my impulse purchases! I got home that night, took a long, hot shower, and lathered up and quickly reached 2 very important conclusions:
1) I need to find $125 to buy a full-sized bar of this stupid soap; and
2) Husband can never ever learn that soap can cost $125 a bar.
I know it seems a little silly to read the instructions that accompany a bar of soap, because if you’ve been showering and washing your face for your entire life, how to use soap is fairly self-explanatory. But I’m glad I read the instructions, because this soap has a serious tingle to it, especially if left on the face for an extended period of time. If you read the instructions, you’ll know in advance that it tingles. I lathered up with the soap, added a little water, and put the resultant foam on my face. Leave the foam on for a good 2-3 minutes, if not longer. I’m obsessed with my Eve Lom Facial Muslin clothes (I also love the Eve Lom cleanser, but that’s for an entirely different post), so I removed the soap with the cloth. My skin is seriously as smooth as a baby’s. With the prettiest, peachiest, rosiest complexion that doesn’t even need any makeup. I followed my soap with a good old-fashioned slathering of Bliss’ Youth As We Know It Concentrate and Cream. Usually, products take a few days to really make people notice – but I’ve been fielding comments and compliments for days about my skin. The comments about my skin started the morning after I used it, so it’s really gotta be the soap. Husband says maybe I have good genes, but…really, we all know it has to be the soap.
The only down side to the soap (besides the price) is that since I purchased a trial-sized bar of it, I’m rapidly running out. That, and I've since learned that Cor has expanded their product family into an eye cream and a wrinkle serum.
But that’s what birthdays are for, right!
