Shunga Aphrodisiac Warming Oil

Okay, so I know that the last thing y’all probably want to read about in this glass melting heat is a warming massage oil. To be honest, it’s the last thing I’d usually want to use at any point during the summer months. But, thanks to a few skin complaints, I’ve had this super pretty bottle of Shunga Aphrodisiac Warming Oil taunting me since January, and now that my skin problems are much improved actual balls of fire couldn’t have kept me away from it.

As ever, Shunga has delighted me with their beautiful presentation. The familiar Shunga couple is exactly where I’m used to seeing them, gracing not just the outer tube but the label on the 100ml bottle, too. Their clothing is green in this instance to match the colour of the oil. Continue reading “Shunga Aphrodisiac Warming Oil” →

Red Minx Vibrator by Shiri Zinn

I’ve been such a lucky duck, recently. Some gorgeous sex toys have passed through the doors of the Scandarella household, one of the most recent being the i-Scream ice cream cone vibrator. I love everything about that darling little thing, and now I’m getting to talk about another product from the mind of the same person who designed it. Let me introduce you to the Red Minx Vibrator by Shiri Zinn.

From the moment I ripped the tape off the outer box and saw what was lying in wait among the packing paper, I was smitten. The packaging for this thing is next level stuff. You folks know I’m a self-confessed packaging whore, and the box the Red Minx comes in delights me. Some toys come with pretty paperboard cartons, some with plastic cases. But the Red Minx? This baby comes in a satin lined, faux snake print covered, hand-crafted box. Scarlet and blood red, sturdy, and with a silver clasp to keep it closed. Gorgeous!

Omeha Soy Wax Massage Candle by Desirables

Here at the Scandal household, massage candles are one of our most purchased ‘consumable’ products. As the receiver, I love the heat, scents and relaxation a good candle brings. As the poor sod with the arthritic thumbs, the Fella appreciates a decent bit of glide. And one of the nicest candles we’ve tried this year is this gorgeous Omeha Soy Wax Massage Candle by Desirables.

Presented in a simple frosted glass jar, the Desirables candle is perfect for gifting, and at 120ml (4oz) with an approximate 15 hour burn time, it keeps on giving for quite a few sessions.

While it’s solid and unlit in its jar, the wax looks creamy and kinda like a soft cheese. In the mix along with the soy wax there is mango seed butter, sunflower seed oil, a blend of fruity, floral and woody oils and a helping of skin softening Vitamin E. All natural ingredients, no nasty chemicals, and suitable for vegans. Nice! Continue reading “Omeha Soy Wax Massage Candle by Desirables” →

Shunga Dragon Sensitive Intensifying Cream

Here be dragons! Well okay, not really, there aren’t any dragons at all. But there is Shunga Dragon Sensitive Intensifying Cream which, while not as awesome as actual dragons, is still pretty cool. I’ll tell you why…

Firstly, packaging! I know, I say it every time I do a Shunga review but I’m not afraid to repeat myself. I tell the Fella I love him a dozen times a day, and I do, so there’s no reason I can’t tell y’all that I love Shunga packaging all the time.

As you can see in the pics, this one is a gorgeous icy blue and deepest black box with our favourite Japanese couple loving it up on the front. Oh, and there’s a dragon! I love dragons. Continue reading “Shunga Dragon Sensitive Intensifying Cream” →

SHUNGA Massage Candles

If you’re a regular Scandarella reader, you’ll likely be aware that one of my most beloved ways to get intimate with the Fella is through massage. So much so, I was even moved to write about it, and if you haven’t already, you can read that piece here.

One of the simplest – and sexiest – ways to add a little something something to a sensual massage, is by using a massage candle. We’ve tried a few brands, and there is one we keep going back to, but my little heart was yearning to try a new one.

LELO Flickering Touch Massage Candle

If you’ve read my Not Just For Hands blog post, you’ll know that I have a passion for massage. One of the simplest ways to enhance a massage and make it more erotic, is by adding the warm slip and slide of melted oils from a massage candle.

The Fella and I have used a few brands, but we hadn’t had the pleasure of trying a LELO Flickering Touch Candle until the lovely Michelle at Just4Play sent us one in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Tease by Lovehoney 3 Piece Soft Bondage Kit

Leather. Steel. Buckles, padlocks, chains. These are the kinds of things you’d see hovering near the tops of the drawers in our bondage chest if you were to have a sneaky peek.

But there’s a lot of work that goes into setting up sessions that involve those things, and it’s nice to have a quick alternative to hand, just in case the mood for a bit of tie and tease takes our fancy, and we just don’t have the time to get out the big guns.

The solution is simple: the Tease by Lovehoney, 3 Piece Soft Bondage Kit.

Bettie Page Bad Girl Blackout Blindfold

If there was ever a woman who deserved to be branded an icon, it was Bettie Page. Stunningly beautiful, bold and unafraid, she’s been on my personal list of inspirational women for a long time. Given her work as both dominatrix and submissive in fetish film and photography, it stands to reason that there should be a range of bondage equipment that bears her name.
