Sugar Queen Body Scrubs

If you read my blog, you'd know that body products don't often get much love from me, they're a necessity, not one of my obsessions. When the lovely Kiley contacted me about her product, I said yes because I love to support indie companies. 

 Description taken from the website- "Our scrubs contain coconut oil, essential oils or fragrance oils and of course, sugar. Sugar crystals are small and don't have the same abrasiveness that salt or sand have. Coconut oil contains high levels of vitamin E, and is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving you feeling great, not greasy." 
I received the mini scrub in Lemon Cheesecake, complete with essential lemon oil.

The consistency is a lot drier than my experience with other body scrubs, albeit limited.

The mini scrubs come in small glass jars. I love the handwritten tag, a nice touch and I think it's cute.

The first thing I did was take the lid off and have a sniff. Oh yes, tart yummy cheessecake, with that lemon zestiness that I love.

With the sugar being so jam packed into the jar, with little moisture, I was wondering how the scrub would apply. Would I lose a lot of product during application? Well, the answer to my question was no. It held together, until being dissolving by the water.

I love using this body scrub in my morning shower. Not only is the scrub itself invigorating, as the granules are massaged over the body, but that fresh lemony scent is such a pick-me-up fragrance.

After drying, I noticed that not only did my skin feel smooth, it also felt moisturized. This was a surprise to me because the body scrub certainly wasn't a wet mixture. In fact, if you look at the above pic, you can see the moisture as the scrub has warmed on my skin.

Another thing I must point out, is that you don't need handfuls of product for an application, so a long lasting product. That's certainly an added bonus.

Definitely check out Sugar Queen Body Scrubs, there's plenty of fragrances to choose from, and if you're not sure, at $2.99 for a generous mini size, it's worth a try! 

Do you like using a body scrub?

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
