10 things Im craving on Etsy

1. Scaredy Cat Cosmetics Eyeshadow

They're adorable, they have vegan colors, they are only $5.00 what more could you ask for from a shadow. Even their sample vials are to die for. Koi Eurism is at the top of my list.

4. Antoinettes Bath House Red Headed Slut Bath Bomb

I am a fan of cheeky things & I love the drink that shares this name so this definitely caught my eye. I have ordered from Antoinettes before & I was not disappointed at all. I love the smell of jasmine & this seems right up my alley.

7. Wicked Scentuals Sweet Sixteen Bubble Blaster  Solid Bubble Bath Bar

 I think this is soo cute. Who says you have to wait for your birthday to have cake?? The best part is it hasa soft musky scent for those of you who don't like sweet scents. I can imagine this would sit in my bathroom for a while before I had the guts to break it apart.

Blushin Beauty : Blushie Soap Review

 I ordered a few soaps from this company called Blushie on Etsy. They make handmade soaps that are almost too cute to use. They also have fragrance oils, lip balms, mineral lip glosses & facial care soaps. This is actually my second order from Blushie. I was so impressed with the first one  I figured I would give my second order some love on my blog. I have to say I was very excited about this package arriving.  Check them out on Etsy
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Blushie

Packaging & Shipping
 My soaps arrived in a flat rate cardboard box after only a few days. I put my order in on the 5th & it arrived at my door on the 10th. I find that really impressive,  Each soap is encased in a little plastic box of its own to help preserve  the cute swirly detailing on the top.

Scents

 I picked the 3 soaps for 15.75 so I got two for me & one for my mom. I prefer the warmer, richer foody scents for fall while my mom likes fruitier scents year round.  My previous order included  Sweet Pumpkin which is to die for if you are a pumpkin lover like I am. 

 White Peach is the scent I picked out for my mom. I have to admit it makes me think of spring time. It is a very clean fruity scent. There's nothing very overpowering about the scent itself but it is very fragranced. I am halfway tempted to keep it for myself but I am really trying to avoid becoming a soap hoarder lol.

 Enchanted Apple is my new love (move over Sweet Pumpkin lol). It smells just like those caramel apple suckers I used to love when I was little. It just makes me smile every time I smell it. I had these soaps in my nightstand drawer last night to keep them safe from my terrible two year old & I could smell this one all night long. I am sure my baby girl is tempted to take a bite out of this one when Momma isn't looking.

 Pink Frosting is a Pink Sugar Type soap.  I know there are a million of these out there but this one smells pretty good. I don't know how close it actually smells to Pink Sugar. I don't own it but it is similar to me in my opinion.

 An Apple Cider Soap sample was also included in my order. It smells exactly like Apple Cider.
 I am sure all these soaps are going to have the same results as my Sweet Pumpkin soap. I left in my shower & it scented my whole bathroom.  People kept asking me what kind of air freshener I kept in there. The fragrance was strong but it didn't seem to linger on my skin after my shower very heavily.I would catch a hint of it every once in a while.

  These soaps aren't really moisturizing or drying, They give my crazy dry, sensitive, eczema &; acne prone skin a nice clean feeling. They have a really good lather & the other bars have last me about 3+ weeks with little to no extra care. Just making sure I put them on the soap dish to dry.They are very cute & will probably make their way into some of my sisters stockings for Chistmas Presents. I have a few scents I am lusting after but still NO SOAP HOARDING !!! After I get through a bar or two I will definitely be looking into the raspberry vanilla & the sweet watermelon soaps. With all the scents in her shop I will be definitely be a long time customer.

Who's A Bad Wolf? Alchemic Muse Review

 Today I received my package from Alchemic Muse.I am so excited!!!! I ordered 2 items from their limited edition Autimn Collection. I received a body whip & a soap in the scent Bad Wolf. I wasn't expecting my package today so I am super excited. Who doesn't want to smell like a Bad Wolf?

 Alchemic Muse is a store on  Etsy. Check them out.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlchemicMuse?ref=top_trail#
 They definitely caught my eye with the intriguing names of their products. Autumn is my favorite season so they definitely caught my eye. With  product names live nevermore, deadwood & primeval they had my attention.

Packaging & Shipping
 My products arrived quickly. They took less than a week but they are based in FL & I am in TX. My pruduct arrived safely & securely double packaged. A small postal box in a larger envelope.  My products came very nicely packaged. Very commercial looking. The soap has a label on the front & the listed ingredients in the back. It is wrapped in plastic. The lotion is in a 6 oz sturdy jar with front & back labels. It also arrived wrapped in plastic & with a seal under the lid.

Fragrance
This is definitely a fall fragrance. It evokes a sweet earthy scent. Alchemic Muse decribes the fragrance as 
"A basket of freshly-picked berries and sweet cream fused with a shady forest brew of mahogany, apple wood, and blood cedar to round out the darker, more sensuous base of patchouli, tonka bean, oakmoss, and vanilla bourbon. All the better to eat you with, my dear…"
 
 This is a very rich scent. It smells strongly of patchouli but softened by the other fragrances. I get a little hint of the berries but I was hoping it was more pronounced. This is unlike anything else I have in my collection. It smells almost unisex to me. I keep smelling my arms trying to get used to it. I do think I smell a little like a she wolf.

 
 Price
  These were a little pricey but not devastatingly so. I think its worth it to not smell like sea of women I work with who alternate between  Juicy fragrances &; whatever is new at Victorias Secret. The body whip was 10$ for 6oz & the 4.5 oz soap was  $6.50.  I paid somewhere around $5 for the shipping.

  The body whip is very good quality. It has a consistency similar to yogurt not to thick & not too watery. I really like this a lot. It feels great on my skin not too greasy & the scent has excellent lasting power. I am pretty sure if I applied this to my whole body I would be overwhelmingly scented. I will definitely be ordering more body whips from them.

The soap is so beautiful. It is a camel color & the top is swirled with a cranberry color. It smells amazing.  I havent used it yet.  It is going to have to wait in line while I use the other trillion soaps & body washes in my shower. I will update this section when I actually do use it.

 If you haven't been on Etsy you must be living under a rock. If you have make sure you check out Alchemic Muse. I was all around impressed with the quality of their products.
