Summer, how I've missed you! And now one of the ways I can tell when a new season is coming isn't the change of the weather. Its the arrival of my Fortune Cookie Soap Box! :D I also got one of those little drink umbrellas to help with the unboxing.......
Fortune Cookie Soap in One in A Melon.
I love how it looks like a slice of watermelon. my fave summertime fruit. Last summer, I ended up eating a whole watermelon by myself....but that's another story. This one smells like a watermelon Jolly Rancher! My fortune this time: I can't complain., but sometimes I still do.
On the left is the Mother Pucker Shower Steamer. I have use it and it made my shower a nice lemon-minty escape :) On the right is Body Shot Don't be Jelly! Is a jelly soap that smells like raspberry lemonade. I wonder if you can put this in the fridge prior to using to give it a cool feeling?
On the left is a sugar scrub in I Scream, You Scream. This smells like a sundae with vanilla, chocolate and strawberries. On the right is What? It's Five O'Clock Somewhere! whipped cream. Haha. It smells like a tropical cocktail.
At the very top is a stick of solid sunscreen in Where the Sun Don't Shine. Its kinda small so I don't think you can get much coverage out of it. It has a coconut-banana smell. On the left is and OCD hand sanitizer in Do you Salsa or Mango? I love these things! This one is scented with island mango, lime, chile and cilantro. Finally, there is a Sea Salt Hair Spritz in Aquaholic. A pina colada scented hair spritz for that just at the beach look.
I'm over all super happy with this box and am pretty much in love with everything! Sign up for your own Soap Box here. The next one comes in Fall 2013 :)
Lovelies, sometimes a little attention to detail can take something from nice to luxury! I'd like to introdue you to Scruxury. Run by Maggi Bruce and based in Saskatchewan. Scrubxury specializes in handmade scrubs and skin care products. Check out her etsy shop and I dare you not to find yourself watering at the mouth. Maggi sent me a few samples for me to try and I think she spoiled me!
On the left is Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Salt Scrub. I had never actually used a salt scrub before. From her store, I learned that salt scrubs actually provide a better exfoliation than sugar. They can also be used as bath salts. Strawberry Rhubarb pie also screams summer! I found it grittier then a sugar scrub which was great. My skin also felt soft and very clean after.
On the right is French Lavender Sugar Scrub. This sugar scrub was actually a little more solid so it was easy to use. The aroma also delighted me to my surprise. I like lavender but I don't love it so this was pleasant.
I also had a chance to try (not pictured) Earl Grey Tea Whipped sugar scrub. In my opinion whipped sugar scrubs provide the best of both worlds. You get great exfoliation and the softness of a gel or cream. I don't drink Earl Grey tea all that often but I sure can show an appreciation for it now!
I also had a chance to try (not pictured) a Love Spell Sugar Scrub cube. The aroma that came from this little guy was amazing considering it fits in the palm of my hand. I was able to hold it in the shower and get a good scrub on all over. I like the convenience of the cube. It could also help you waste less if its already cut into portions.
Please check out Scrubxury and treat your self :) Also great pampering gifts!
