Country Club Soaps Review & GIVEAWAY......

Wow where do i start with this amazing review. Judy from country club soaps is a wonderful, sweet person so you know your customer service experience will be nothing but professional. She sent me so many products to review i was in pure haven so lets get started.

Up first was the oatmeal milk & honey lotion made with goats milk. The smell is a very neutral smell and its not to strong. It absorbed great on my oily skin and even felt like silk. The after feel is not greasy or oily at all in fact its more like a powder. I love this lotion and she also offers it in other fragrances if om&h isn't your thing.

Next up i found the candle in my box of yumminess. It immediately filled the room with "coffee cake & spice". The only thing i was not excited about is it produced a lot of black smoke and the wick mushrooms so just keep an eye on it and trim the wick often.

My favorite thing of all was the variety of bath bombs she sent me. I could smell these through the box and couldn't wait for all the soothing bath ahead of me. I got: starfruit & mango, peach magnolia raspberry, hardwood musk, cactus & sea salt, and stress relief. It would be so hard to pick a fav so my top 3 are hardwood musk, peach magnolia raspberry & stress relief. She also sent a few of here mini bath bombs and they were just as lovely as the full size. These are packed with skin loving oils and butters. I could feel silk on my skin as soon as i stepped in. It didn't leave my tub oily or dangerously slick and no ring around the tub. The rinse clean and still leave your skin touchably soft. Your seriously gonna keep touching your skin.

Last but not least i got some really cute peep soap. I broke this in half so each of my kids could have one and they were soooo happy. It smells sweet and perfect for kids and the glitter was a perfect touch.

So all in all i can honestly say you wont go wrong with any thing you purchase from this shop. They really know what your skin needs and the deliver it 100%. I could go on and on about all the cute, unique and wonderful items they have but here are just a few i have my eye on:

Candy's Sweet Treats & GIVEAWAY

Candy's Sweet Treats is a ROCKIN etsy shop. They mainly sell eyeshadows/cosmetics but they also have scrubs, lip balm, soap, & yummy smellies. I got 2 lip scrubs and some eyeshadow samples so on to the review.

First I want to talk about the lip scrubs. When these arrived i was so excited to try them. They were packed to the rim, so no skimpy products here. I got mud pie & sugar cake. They both had a sweet taste that i expected but the smell was just that of oils. My whole family sampled these since its supposed to be the end of winter and we all suffer from chapped lips. My boy toy and my son really liked the mud pie and said it had a great flavor and they liked that it looked like mud. It made them feel like they were using a mans product. Men lol.

My daughter really liked the sugar cakes because of the the pink sugar crystals. She is all diva with a little princess thrown in. My experience with the lip scrubs was good as well but a little to abrasive for my lips. I didn't give up on it though i kept using it and experimenting with it to see how i could tolerate the large sugar granules, and what works for me is warm water mixed with some scrub to get a softer slushy mix by melting some of the sugar. Doing it this way works great. You still have all the benefits of the scrubbing action just toned way down.

Candy was sweet enough to include some of her wonderful eyeshadows. I received "attention whore", "virgin ears", & "tango down". The generous samples came in the standard zip lock baggies which I'm not a fan of but totally get why many companies do it. I always use a primer on my eyes before applying pigments so my results may vary from yours if your not priming. Each of the shades she sent me were great. They had tons of shimmer and applied very smooth and blended great. There was a lot of fall out but that is common with loose mineral make up so i just make sure i do eyes first then clean up the fall out and then do my foundation or else you will wind up with glitter and shimmer everywhere. And unless your going out clubbing or to a rave or something its not a desired effect.

GOOD: the eyeshadows are great, they have good pigment, vibrant from what i can tell of the shades she sent me, and the scrubs are yummy.

NOT SO GOOD: for me the lip scrubs were to abrasive but by melting it down in to a soft slush it worked much better for me.

There you have it. I highly recommend you stop by and take a look at her shop. I love the names of her eyeshadows and smellies. From emailing back and forth i can tell you she is a awesome chick. You wont be disappointed. You can find her etsy shop HERE and she is rockin out facebook  HERE

Wait there's more......................

GIVEAWAY! Piece of Pisces

"Wow this stuff is way better than the store bought crap!" -- That is what my partner said when trying the soaps from Piece of Pisces. If you are into store bought soap, please do yourself a favor and STOP! :) No matter how good it is, cold process all natural vegan soap is better. I promise!

Unlike other soaps I've tried, these are pretty much unscented. If you try hard enough, you can tell the difference in the soaps, but these are all very natural. Their line is all vegan, kosher, and halil, including these amazing Brickman Soaps (look familiar?).

A shop after my own heart! During the month of March, all profits from Asian Fixation will be donated to the Red Cross for Japan's relief efforts.

These look like they smell absolutely delicious!

And check out this great deal -- all the soaps they can cram into a box for $15! Wow!

From their shop:

As always, we want to save you money. Choose several auctions, and we'll combine them into 1 box, to save you some cash, and the planet some green too

The real deal -- I love the look and feel of these soaps. They left my hands feeling renewed, and oh-so-soft. I wish we had a guest bathroom so we could display them all, but our kitchen and (only) bathroom will have to do for now. Piece of Pisces makes the types of soaps you'd expect to see at a Renaissance Festival. I love them. If you like unscented (or lightly scented) vegan friendly soaps, these are for you.

Win a bar of their newest scents! Up for grabs: Irish Barmaid (Guiness and Oatmeal), Asian Fixation (Gree Tea and Lemon), and Cool Licks (Mint Chocolate Swirl).

Ideas that Bloom... GIVEAWAY

I have been a fan of this shop for a very long time and I love everything hello kitty, so when i saw this designers recycled art i had to have it. She was kind enough to send me a large hello kitty Starbucks magnet and a small Tab necklace.

Don't get excited i have a shirt on :)

I have to start with the necklace. It is so stinkin cute i want to wear it with everything. First of all its pink and that's one of my favorite colors. Next it is the perfect size and on a silver chain which is just awesome because i hate gold. And did i mention i love hello kitty. Her necklaces run in the 5-6 dollar range.

The magnet is a lot larger than i expected and has a strong magnet so it holds things very well. I hate when i get a magnet that cant even hold a tiny piece of paper. You all know what I'm talking about we have all been victims of weak magnets. Well that's not the case here. They prices are great to. Magnets run between $3.50-$5.50 and she has several adorable designs.

She has also added new items such as earrings, pop tab bracelets, gift cards and more. I have my eye on the bracelets. Everything is very light weight and made from recycled triple washed materials. Make sure you check out her shop and tell her 3G sent you.

PRO: Very light weight, affordable, unique items and gifts. She is helping our precious earth by recycling.

CONS: Absolutely nothing.

OVERALL: FANTASTICO pretty much sums this review up. You have to go check out her shop right away. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ideasthatbloom or at http://www.artfire.com/users/IdeasThatBloom

Pretty Petals Hair ♥ GIVE-A-WAY ♥

Taisia is the owner of "Pretty Petals Hair" and let me just say her work is beautiful. These satin flowers take time and patients to make and are so stunning. When I contacted her about a review she suggested making something custom to fit me and my daughter and it came out perfect. I love the black and pink combo she sent.

Here prices are right on ranging from less than $7.00 up to around $22.00 for more elaborate special occasion pieces. And the quality of materials and construction is excellent. One of the things i love about these headbands is that they are all unique. Her shop is also not cluttered with a bunch other items. She keeps it simple and excels in what she does. I will be ordering from her and i highly suggest you do to because at $6.95 how could you not.

PRO: Very detailed, beautifully crafted, vibrant colors and amazing customer service.

CON: I seriously can not think of anything that is less than perfect about these headbands or the service.

OVERALL: If you have anything custom in mind this is the shop to visit, or check out her many in stock items. Beautiful for every day, weddings, holidays, or any occasion you can come up with. They photograph very well and are a necessity for any little princess old or young.

Pretty petals will be giving away this navy/pink headband

Review/Giveaway!! Pale Preoccupation

There are so many great things about Liese Chavez and her shop, Pale Preoccupation, that I'm not sure where to start! First of all, the name... just so unique! I love it. :) If you take two minutes to visit Liese's shop, you will see why I am in love. She is a great artist/illustrator, and is so friendly and helpful you feel like you are talking to an old friend instead of a shop owner.

I received a scrabble pendant necklace of her illustration: A WISH. This is the print:

This is my scrabble pendant necklace:

You can order this necklace here for $14 -- it comes with a free illustration as well as a free chain!

This is probably my favorite print... and only $16.

Shipping is very reasonable ($3.00 for the above item), and the artwork is nothing short of amazing - especially for the price. I am going to order one of her prints for my daughter's next birthday. She will be turning 10 and they will make a great addition to her room. These will make great gifts for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, etc... anyone who appreciates art will fall in love with Pale Preoccupation!

I don't really see a down side to this item at all. The chain is not a cheapo chain, the art is not blurred in any way, and the pendant is sealed properly (at the sides as well not just on top). I am definitely putting this shop on my Top 10.

Liese has been kind enough to offer one of our readers a scrabble tile pendant of the image "Flown" with a silver plated chain and free illustration! You know the drill, the more responses you make the more chances you get to win!

COMMENT AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR FAVORITE ILLUSTRATION IS FROM THIS ARTIST. THAT IS ONE ENTRY. The rest are below. :)

Follow our blog (MANDATORY) -- I am donating 10 cents for every follower this month, so hop to it!

CTNaturalSoapworks Twilight Body Butter & Giveaway

I'm so excited i got to review this natural body butter in the Twilight scent. It smells AMAZING. The scent is not to overpowering and its great for men and woman. It has definite staying power and the butter its self is very rich and moisturizing. I didn't have to spend half the day reapplying every time i walked by the jar even though i wanted to just cause it smells so delish. I would describe the scent as a warm kinda earthy sexy man but there are some powder notes that make it great for girls to. The twilight body butter also has the perfect amount of shimmer to go along with the theme.

Sabrina and her husband Ernie manage their own sunflower farm and in 1999 they decided to start a soap making business with the emphasis on all natural. They use sunflower oil in their products to promote healthy skin. They were sweet enough to also send me a lip balm made from their own honey. Its rare to find a bath & body company that really knows the many different oils and their benefit to the skin. And let me just say you can not ask for better customer service. Your items will arrive fast and are wrapped professionally.

PRO: Made from natural ingredients, great for your skin, smells wonderful, heavily moisturizes.

CONS: The glitter is a nice touch but its hard to get off your palms even after washing many times its still there and that means it could get places you may not want it. Does have a tiny bit of a waxy feel.

OVERALL: Great company, the nicest owner, and a good natural product. A little goes a long long way and did i say it smells great :)

CTNaturalSoapworks has been generous enough to offer a bar of their TWILIGHT soap for our giveaway. This giveaway will end on 3/22/11 at 9PM CST.

Crawler Covers & More - GIVEAWAY!!

Crawlers Covers & More has more than 400 styles of  leg warmers available in their shop, more than any other on Etsy! You can't get much cuter than this.

They were so kind as to send us two pair of leg warmers to review, and we definitely put them to the test! They fit my 4 year old, as well as my 6 and 9 year olds. We even tried them on a 2 year old afterwards and they fit her as well. My 4 year old wore them while she was ice skating, and they kept her little legs nice and warm. :) Their soft material is very breathable and will work well in warmer months, too.

Don't let the name fool ya, these leg warmers will fit bigger kids too! While they are GREAT for diaper changes (no on and off!), they are so cute and trendy it makes me want to scream. :) They're for boys and girls, as well as arms and legs! So versatile!

I personally have made and purchased leggings like these before and they did not hold up to the tests that these did. We put these guys through the ringer, and they're still in perfect shape! I have handed out a few business cards and the pictures alone are starting a little buzz around here! I definitely recommend you trying them out, even if you just order one pair - you will be hooked.

GOOD: Only $27 for 5 pair, PLUS free shipping. I have seen similar leggings cost upwards of $16. Lightning fast shipping, cute packaging.

BAD: None!

OVERALL: With a feedback score of nearly 8000, this shop can definitely be trusted. 100% positive feedback speaks volumes! FREE shipping, and ships out within 24 hours. They also offer a guarantee on their products, which seems to be a rarity on Etsy these days.

Crawlers Covers & More is nice enough to offer FOUR PAIR of leg warmers for our giveaway today!! This giveaway will end on 3/15/11 at 9PM CST. To be entered, you must comment on this blog post letting us know what your favorite item from their Etsy shop is. To get extra entries, see below. You get one extra entry for each one you do.
