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

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.

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.

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.
