HardLotion.com! Review

Today for a review for you on and online store that goes by the name of HardLotion.com and they sent me two different products to share with you and give you my full review on. I'm so excited to do this review for you all!

The first type of product that was sent to me is called there hard lotion. Your probably thinking what the heck is that?!  Allow me to explain, pretty much all it is, is a solid form of lotion and while you are using it the lotion starts to melt with your body temperature turning it into a lotion that you are more familiar with. As we gets little further down in this review you will see some pictures of what this product really looks like. Anyways, I have seen a few companies makes these solid lotion products and I have been very curious to try them out for myself. They sent me two different scents one is a chocolate scent and the other is just a plain honey scented one.

This is what the lotion looks like when you open the can. They are pretty big chunks to be honest with you. I wasn't expecting them to be that big. Each one is wrapped in wax paper so it doesn't melt. Which was another thing I was worried about. I can assure you that these arrived in perfect condition none of these were melted at all which is really hard to believe considering I live in Florida. Lol

This is what the product looks like out of the paper. As you can see it's a nice size. And it's pretty thick. I only tried this one, which is the honey one because I'm not a huge chocolate fan. I like the scent of this one it smells pretty good and isn't too overpowering at all which is awesome. I can assure you if you like chocolate you will love the chocolate one, it smells just like the real thing! So these products are pretty cool, there very different which is what I really like the most about them. It's not everyday you see lotion like this. I think this is a perfect product for winter time. Not so much summer especially where I live. These would melt all over in a heartbeat. I really do like the concept of this idea. This is perfect if your in a hurry or if you just need to apply some lotion to a smaller area. Personally I think this is great for moisturizing your hands. I really do like this product and I recommend checking it out and trying it for yourself.

Next up we have one of their lip balms. Let me just tell you they couldn't have done a better job at picking a scent that I would enjoy lol. Peppermint is my all time favorite scent so I was super excited to see this one was in my package. I have about a million peppermint lip balms but you really can't have enough to right?! Lol

As you can see this looks like your everyday lip balm that you see pretty much everywhere. I think this is very good lip balm to be honest with you. I think it is super moisturizing and really does a good at making you feel refreshed I think peppermint is perfect for making you feel awake and energized for the day. So I have been keeping this next to my bed and using it every morning when I wake up and I really like it.

 

I am super excited about both of these products, they are so nice and I will definitely  be using them till there all gone lol. I want to thank everyone at HardLotion.com for sending me some products to review, I think they were awesome and I'm so glad I now own some :) This website is packed with all kinds of products, there really is a lot to look out so I highly recommend checking out this website. I'm certain that you will find something you cant live without lol.

DarlingDesignsbyDC! Review!

Today I have probably one of my favorite items to share with you guys. From a shop I have worked with quite a bunch in the past with my blog. The name of this shop is DarlingDesignsByDc and she has her shop on etsy. She is probably one of the most friendly shop owners I have met from doing my blog.

She sent me one of her newest bath bombs to review and I love this one! This bath bombs is in the scent BubbleGum! At first glance I was in love with this bath bombs because of its bright pink color :) I was super excited to see how this bath bomb would do in my tub! I waited a while on doing this blog because I was saving this bath bomb for reviewing!

Retails:($1.99)

 

To be 100% honest with you I am not a huge fan of the scent bubblegum in general but I was highly impressed with this bath bomb. I didn't think it was an over powering scent and thought it smelled pretty good. In my opinion I thought that this had more of a sweet scent to it rather than a bubble gum scent. I thought this one was pretty amazing to be honest. I am a hugeee lover of sweet scents so this one was a really good hit with me! I love how bright the color is in this bomb. It turned my bath tub pink and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. This is probably one of the best bath bombs I have tried in my entire life to be honest with all of you. I cant believe how low her prices are as well. It's truly incredible because bath bombs can be super expensive and if you do go with a cheaper alternative then they usually aren't the best quality. I can assure you that isn't the case with these bath bombs! You will truly be in heaven with this bath bomb!

Fizzy Bath Bombs! Review!

 

I have a few items to review for all of you from an online store that goes by the name of Fizzy Bath Bombs. They sent me a few bath products to try out and share with all of you. Bath products are my all time favorite products, I use them soo often so I was super excited to try all of these products out. Please note that I did take the time to try each and every item that was sent to me so I could give you all my honest review on this company.

 

 

The first item I have to review for all of you is a tube of one of their bath salts. I was unable to find  link to this product on their website but that's okay. The scent that I received in these bath salts is called Wedding. I wasn't able to figure out this exact sent was but let me just say it smelt amazing lol. This is just a smaller version of the bath salts that they sell. They offer the salts in sizes like this one and also in a bigger jar as well. I can see you getting about 2 or 3 uses out of this tube, which perfect in my opinion. This is great if your going on a little vacation and want to bring something to relax with. This is also perfect for just trying out a few scents and finding out which one you like the best before committing to purchasing a  bigger jar of the salts. 

 

Retails:($2.69)

 

These bath salts  are a pretty light blue color. I never have used bath salts before so I was super excited to try these ones out. This made my entire bath room smell amazing. I was a huge fan of this product, and was super excited I was able to try out something I never have used before in  my life.  I would love to be able to try some different scents of this product.

 

Next up we have three bath bombs. Let me just tell you I was super impressed with the different ones that they sent me to review. All of these bath bombs were in scents I would pick out for myself, so they did an awesome job at choosing the perfect products for me.

 

 

Up first for the bath bombs we have one in the scent Warm Vanilla Sugar, this is one of the classic scents in my opinion. I was super excited to try this one out. I love how each one of these bath bombs is individually wrapped up with an adorable ribbon. The bag that that they are wrapped up in is super durable so you wont have to worry about them breaking when they are shipped to your door. I loved this scents. As soon as this was opened It smelt soo good, almost good enough to eat lol. I enjoyed this one a lot. I thought this scent was super relaxing and was the perfect scent for a bath bomb.

Next up we have a bath bomb that is in the scent Eucalyptus & Spearmint. Out of the three bath bombs that I received from this company, this one was by far the strongest scent of the three. I was actually able to smell this one through the package which was cool. enjoy this scent in general and was really excited to try this one out too. I think this bath bomb itself would be amazing if you have a cold. I think this would be perfect for cleaning out your sinuses. Even though I wasn't sick I still really enjoyed this one and thought it was perfect.

The last bath bombs I have to review for all of you is a honeydew melon one. This is one of my all time favorite scents too. I love fruity scents and was super pleased to see this one in my package as well. I thought this one smelt amazing, and did an amazing job at making my bath smell delicious. I love the size of these bath bombs, there not too big and not too small either. In my opinion the ones from lush are wayyyyy to big. There is no need to waste all that product in the bath. These are perfect for one bath and its just the perfect amount of product in my opinion.

SandysSoaps! Review!

 

I received three different bars of soap from a shop on Facebook called SandysSoaps

 

 

I received three different bars of soaps, and each one is in a different scent. I have to say I have done quite a few reviews on soaps, but these one are the most gorgeous I have ever seen. It is so hard to believe that all of these soaps are homemade and not bought from the store. The first bar of soap I have to review for all of you is this one in the scent Exotic Coconut. I am an absolute huge fan of the scent coconut, so this one was definitely a hit for me. I know a lot of the time soaps can be a hit or miss with the scents. A lot of the time soaps just aren't very strong with scents and they go away after time. In this case it is completely different. This scent is so strong, even if this didn't have a label on it I would instantly know what scent this bar of soap is. I love the look of this one as well. As you can see in the picture below it is a really pretty blue color, with small little pieces of white. The white in the soap makes me think of what coconut really looks like.

 

Next up we have Lemon Grass. Out of the three scents I enjoyed this one the most. I thought this gave your hands a really nice clean scent to them. When I think of hand soap for the kitchen I instantly think lemon, so that's where I placed this one. I fell in love with the scent each time I used it. It has a very sweet and fruity scent to it. As far as looks go for this one, this one is incredible as well. I love the design of this one. So much creativity was done when creating each of these, and you can really tell. The design of this one really makes me think of a castle.

 

I saved the best for last :) This is one of the most unique bars of soaps I have ever seen in my life. It is a small rectangle and inside is another piece of soap that is in the shape of a Lego brick. At first glance I thought that the Lego brick inside of this piece of soap was a real Lego lol. I had to double check. I was wrong however. I truly cant get over the design of this one. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this before, and I really enjoyed using this one as well. I had this as a hand soap in one of my bathroom and received so many compliments on this one. This bar of soap is in the scent Watermelon, which is one of my favorites. I think this smells amazing, and really sweet. It smells just like a watermelon. It smells so good I could almost eat it....but I wouldn't recommend that lol.

 

 

 

As far as creativity goes, these are the most creative soaps I have ever seen. She has so many other listed on her page as well you would be amazed. The scents of these soaps are amazing. I used each of these as a hand soap and I can honestly say they left my hands feeling really clean and smelling great. I don't have anything bad to say about this shop at all. I am so honored I got to work with Sandy myself and I really hope to have her featured again on my blog.

TheSoapieShoppe.com! Review

 

I received some bath bombs from online store by the name of The Soapie Shoppe

 

 

The shop owner sent me a total of three different bath bombs to try which was very nice and generous of them. They did an amazing job at picking the three as well. All of the ones sent to me are actual scents that I would pick for myself, which was great! I don't know about all of you guys, but my favorite way to relax is by having a nice hot bath. I have just discovered bath bombs, and I have tried quite a few different types of them. I hear all the hype about the lush ones, and have yet to try them just because I'm pretty certain you can find something better at a much better price as well.

 

The first bath bomb that was sent to me to try was this one in the scent Cram Pom. I wasn't able to find this one on their site anymore, but I'm going to guess that the scent is Cranberry Pomegranate. At of all the three bath bombs this one was definitely the one with the most fragrance. I could smell this one over the two others instantly when I opened the package that all of these were inside of. This one is pretty basic as far as colors go. It's all one color, its a light pinkish red color. It is really pretty. The size of these bath bombs is incredible.

 

Next up we have Land Of Milk And Honey. This one I would say would be the basic bath bomb. This would be a great gift for you to give someone if you didn't know what scent they really like or if they are allergic to certain scents. I wouldn't say this one had a strong scent to it. Actually in my opinion I thought this one didn't really smell at all. Even though this one wasn't packed with any scent I really did like this one as well. This one is more about the looks in my opinion. This bath bomb is all white with some orange in it. When I say orange I mean bright orange. The dye in this one turned my whole tub orange which was amazing. I would definitely recommend this one to someone who loves bath bombs, or even just someone that has never tried them before. I know if you gave this to someone who has never tried them before they would be instantly hooked on how amazing they are.

Last we have my all time favorite Candy Cane, this one is no longer listed on the site as well. Due to this being a seasonal scent, which is super disappointing because I am obsessed with anything that is mint or candy cane scented lol. I have to say this one was the most relaxing in my opinion. I loved using this bath bomb. I can see this one being amazing for when you have a cold, or if you are just congested. This really opens you up and helps you breath a lot better. This bath bomb is all white with tiny flecks of red. This one looked gorgeous in the tub. The red really came out from this bomb.

 

 

After trying a few of these bath bombs for myself, I can honestly say these are the best bath bombs I have ever tried yet, and I have tried quite a few to be honest with you. The size alone is incredible. You could easily just use half of one of these for you entire bath if you wanted to save one. Or you can be like me and go big and go home lol and use the entire thing. I would say the fragrance in these bath bombs is pretty powerful. When I say powerful, I mean that in a good way of course. These were super relaxing to use, and I can honestly say that I'm hooked on these. They were all individually wrapped as well, and even came with the name of each one, which is super handy if you decided to order a bunch of these and cant remember which bomb is which. These arrived in perfect condition to my house, which was another thing I was worried about with these. I highly recommended this shop and I truly hope to work with them again in the future.

SkinGlowsByCeleste On Etsy Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received an item from a shop on Etsy by the name of SkinGlowsByCeleste

The product that was sent to me to review is called a 3 in 1 face cleanser and exfoliator. I was pretty excited when I learned about this coming to review, just for the simple fact that I am a hugeeee fan of exfoliators and I have tried so many of them in the past. I was super excited to be trying a new one, one in fact that is homemade which makes this product even cooler in my opinion. The scent I received is called Oatmeal, Honey and Geranium. From the first whiff I wasn't to satisfied to be honest lol. I like things that are sweet smelling, or that smells like food lol. This doesn't smell awful, it just really isn't something I would go far but that's okay! It's good to try new products and scents to see what you like! The direction for this product is pretty simple, your suppose to use a quarter size amount and massage into your dampened face. For me I found that a quarter size was actually too much for me, so I only used about the size of a nickle. I used this for the first time as soon as I go out of the shower and washed my face with it. I instantly felt refreshed, clean and soft too!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/249444736/3-in-1-face-cleanser-exfoliator?ref=shop_home_active_7

Retails:($20.00)

Usually when I get out of the shower I wash my face with some type of product and immediately I have to put one some moisturizer on my face, sense I have really dry skin, especially now that the weather is getting a little cooler where I live. With using this product I didn't even have to grab my moisturizer, which was amazing! This is probably the only product I have ever used that has not dried my skin out, which was great. This saved me a step in my skin routine which is the best feeling ever lol, I love being able to be a bit lazy! This makes it so much easier, and saves me a little time when is needed. I have had this product for a while and have used it quite a lot sense the first time I have tried it out, and every time I use it I fall in love with this product. I love the texture of this product, as you can see from the picture below it looks like it is pretty gritty, and it is. It's not too gritty thought, it's not to rough on your skin which is good. This is pretty much the perfect consistency.

I think the best part of this product is that it comes with a little spoon! This is just a simple thing but it really does make so much of a difference. I hate using products and getting all messy, and now I wont have to which is going to be really nice, and I'm sure I will probably end up using is more often just  because of the spoon actually. It is really cute as well lol, it's the perfect size for a product like this this because you don't need to use a lot in the first place anyways.

These are the benefits of this product:

*Organic Oatmeal, Raw Local Honey & Geranium

*Gentle Exfoliator

*Improves Skin Tone

*Anti Aging

*No Toxic Ingredients or Preservatives

*Skin Brightener

*Retains Moisture

*Removes Makeup/Cleans Pores

*Fades Dark Spots

*Improves Circulation

*Calms Redness & Irritated Skin

I would highly recommend this shop. This shop isn't like most homemade beauty products. She really puts a lot of time and effort into creating different products for her customers and it really shows. Even her packaging is really nice and neat, the labels on her containers are waterproof as well. This shop just goes above and beyond to make sure her customers are happy, and I can proudly say that I am one happy customer!

This would make a great gift for practically anyone, you could purchase a few of these products and make a super nice gift basket which would be a great gift. I know I have only tried this one product from this shop, but I'm almost certain I would feel the same about the other products in her shop.

BeechRiverNaturals On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received two different items to review for all of you guys today from a shop on Etsy by the name of BeechRiverNaturals

As you can see in the picture above this shop sent a total of 4 different items. There are 2 different items. A hibiscus and a beet lip and cheek tint. This shop sent a sample size of each product for me to review for all of you, and then they also included a full size of each of the products for me to giveaway to one of you lucky people out there ;) So stay tuned because details with that giveaway will be coming up here shortly!!

Retails:($6.00)

Oooh Ahh! The photo above is the products you will have the chance of winning for yourself :)

These little guys are what I have had the chance to review for you guys. I've used these products for the last few days, and found both of them to be extremely similar. It says on the package you can use these for lips and on your cheeks. I'm not really a fan of cheek stains in general, but for reviewing purposes I thought I must try it out lol. To be honest I was impressed. This went on really nicely and had pretty good color payoff. I like the formula of these products, its a thicker, kind of sticky, but isn't messy. I think these will be great to just throw in your purse, and would be the perfect  thing to use to give your face a little color! I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these, especially sense winter is officially here. I find these products to be really moisturizing, especially on my lips.

Here are the swatches of both the Hibiscus and Beet lip and cheek stain. As you can see they both have really good pigment. That was with just one little bit, these are pretty buildable as well, you can make these as dark, or as light as you like which is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'm wrong or not lol, but both of these looks like they are pretty much the same color. Personally I love the colors of these, they aren't too dramatic and could be warn pretty much year round. I think these colors are perfect for fall and winter though :)

Overall I'm impressed with these products and cant wait to use them some more.

This shop is packed with all kinds of other beauty products, I think they would be great gifts you could purchase a few different products and make up a really nice gift basket, which would be really thoughtful!

TheMuddyMoose On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received a few different products to try out from a shop on Etsy called TheMuddyMoose

 

 

The first product I got to try out is one of their lip butter in the scent Bubble gum. I love the packaging for this one, you easily slide the top over and it opens. I was amazed by how much this really did smell like bubble gum.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/18162697/lip-balm-natural-lip-balm-flavored-lip?ref=shop_home_active_2

Retails:($3.99)

 

I'm not really a huge fan of bubble gum. So I decided to hold onto this and use this for one of my upcoming giveaways for you guys to enjoy!

 

 

Next up we have a foaming sugar scrub in the scent green tea and cucumber. I was very interested in this products when I first opened the package. A foaming super scrub? I have never heard of such a thing before. I am a huge fan of sugar scrubs in general so I was super excited to see a new type of product I could try out. Green Tea and Cucumber didn't exactly sound like a scent I would like either, but I was very wrong about that. This scent is so nice and clean it really reminds me of Cucumber melon from Bath and Body Works, from back in the day, that was one of my all time favorites.

 

As far as texture goes, they weren't kidding when they said it was foaming lol. This was probably one of the strangest textures of a scrub I have ever tried, and by strange I don't mean bad either. I really did enjoy this product it did an awesome job and exfoliating my skin, and wasn't too harsh on it either, which was really nice sense I have super sensitive skin. In fact I found this product to be really refreshing. The only bad thing I could say about this product is that I wish it was in a bigger container, and had more product lol. I love this product, and a little really does go a long way but I am going to be extremely sad when this is all gone lol.

 

Next up we have the same product but this time it's in another scent. This foaming sugar scrub is in the scent Lavender. I do really enjoy the scent of Lavender but sometimes My body decides to not let me lol. I sometimes get really bad migraines just from the scent, but that's okay! This will be another giveaway item!

 

Another thing I really like about all these products is that they all have the safety seals on them under the lid, which is really nice. I kept this one on so you guys can enjoy this product :)

 

A skin cream is next, in the scent Sandalwood Vanilla. This smells amazing, I was instantly hooked when I seen the name vanilla lol. I opened this and was surprised on well this smelt, I thought it would have a strong scent of the Sandalwood, but it really doesn't. In my opinion is just smells like vanilla.

Retails:($3.99)

 

 

The texture is super thick and really creamy as well. I tried this on my hands and it was extremely moisturizing and felt really nice. I didn't have the chance to try this on my body, however I do think this would get a great lotion for after the shower. I'm really excited to try this product a few more times.

 

The last thing I have to review is a bar of soap. This one is in the scent spiced cranberry. This smells amazing, I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing this smells. It smells so sweet and yummy. I used this a few times  to wash my hands, before my mom stole this from me lol. This is her all time favorite scent of all time lol.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/230230276/homemade-goat-milk-soap-cinnamon-soap?ref=shop_home_active_7

Retails:($5.99)

 

 

This really is a nice soap, it does a great job at washing and cleaning my hands, and makes your hands smell great. I think this would be the perfect bar of soap for the kitchen, and this scent is great for the holiday season :)

 

 

Overall I'm highly impressed with this shop. There products work great, they are packed with amazing fragrances and all the packaging is great as well. These look like products you would buy from the store.

 

These would be the perfect gifts for anyone, you could make a really great basket out of these products from someone special in on of their favorite scents, and it would be a really great gift.
