persephone minerals

I got my samples in the other day and they are just beautiful! The only one I wasn't sure about was Bipolar, and that was based on what it looked like before I opened the package. but once you swatch it, its becomes most beautiful pink brown mixture, but it goes on so light compared to what you would think at first glance, it fits its name. its just gorgeous. I did an eotd with it on my inner half of my eyes. I have to upload it. but I misplaced my camera, so I until I find it all I can do is rave about it. I got:

• Lemoni - a luscious pale shimmery yellow, jaw dropping.
• Yellow Submarine - a very yellow and take me away gorgeous. Its smooth and light. just amazing.
• Aqua Illusion - this is a very fun and very versatile color. it can be a highlighter, inner eye opener, try it over various colors for different effects. It really pops over black or a darker color. this is a true prize.
• Bipolar - Love it! was totally taken by surprise by this ones beauty. I can't rave enough about it. I got it mainly because the name intrigued me. but boy I never expected such a masterpiece. if you have not tried Bipolar. it is a must. don't let the first impression scare you, this color is buildable and its breath taking layered or lightly applied. I'd also say you can use this as a high lighter. I thought the yellows would be my number ones but this one beat them by far.

My fiance is well informed that these are a must for Christmas. ^_^ and my list has grown. I will be ordering more samples before the holidays so I'll have more swatches and reviews from Persephone Minerals and more coming soon. ^_^ but first I have to find where my camera ran off too. I swear it literally grew legs and ran away. =D

Clean Green Bunny Review

I tried this all natural handmade soap a while back and I loved it. At first they weren't what I expected WHEN I opened the packages. but when I used them in the shower, that made a world of difference. I ordered them during hottest part of the summer here and I live in Mobile, AL. so that had to have effected that to some degree because all of it smelt the same in the box but (if you did like me lol) once you get them wet they smell like they are supposed too. I have really sensitive skin and I usually can't use bar soaps, only a select few don't dry my skin or make me itch or cause eczema or the like. this stuff was wonderful. and the best part? its all natural and Molly is a perfect angel. I've been meaning to make another purchase but I haven't had time or the extra cash, even thought her prices are way reasonable for a huge bar of soap and shipping is great too. there was a tiny mistake in my order which actually was my fault, but she refunded me the total of the amount I paid for my samples soaps. I bought 2 full size bars and 3 samples bars of soap and a sample of the body scrub (which my sister had the honor of using before I got the chance too lol). She was so sweet and she does an amazing job and shes FAST too.
The Goods:

• Strawberry Swirl Soap(full)       -My favorite of the soaps ^_^
• Hazelnut Coffee Scrub Soap(full)     -made me want coffee, I'm addicted to McD's iced hazelnuts =D
• Muscadine Grape Soap(sample)       -it had a kinda musty undertone, not a bad musty
• Rose Patchouli and Sweet Orange Soap(sample)      -ehh, I personally didn't like this scent
• Vanilla Lavender Peppermint Soap(sample)      -was a wonderful mixture
• Orange Creamsicle Sugar Scrub(sample)     -smelt absolutely devine!

but my favorite was an utter surprise. Molly threw in a sample of a Lotion. 'Honeysuckle'. I'm not very big on lotion but OMG this stuff smelt the same on me as it did in the bottle, I was actually a little nervious to wear it outside in fear that a swarm of bee's might mistake me for a honeysuckle bush. and it made my skin feel so silky without being greasy. THIS was my ultimate favorite item that she makes by far. Her soaps are great, her sugar scrubs smelt great, BUT HER LOTIONS are out of this world! I have been meaning to purchase more in more scents. when I do I will update this review. Its great. You should give it a try. and once you make a purchase you get 15% off your next purchase. give it a whirl, if anything try the lotions. Let me know what you think.
