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

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.
Thankyou, i hated the smell of sweet pumkin inside the bottle, its smelled like warm gym towel left in my bag for a day or 2, but now i cat get enough, i realise it has no lasting power though, i have the oncoming storm and dust after raincoming in the post i live in Australia so its a anxious long wait, i also love the affordabilty ot the samples, i bought 6 samples and fell in love with 2 and hated the rest, they clashed with my 'ph' levels. Thankyou for your review, cant wait to try enchanted apple.
