Kreamy Soaps



So, this lonely green apple soap sure does pack a punch! I was surprised at how fragrant and vivid the color is. I was so excited to get this soap in! Super fast TAT! The owner even went through the trouble of mailing it first class to me! :) I am thrilled and wish more etailers would go through the trouble to do this. She even sent a hand written Thank You note!

Because I'm the Princess



Kelly at BITP is Fabulous! Let me tell you, if you're looking for a quick fix - She's your gal! This order was my first from her. I ordered from ETSY during a SNS (Saturday Night Special). I think it was spend $8 and get free shipping! I was hesitant at first, as I had to join etsy just to make this purchase. But wow! Was it worth it!

I ordered a 3 pack of hair mists (Vanilla Bean Noel, Juicy Fruit Gum, and Cotton Candy) and a Candy Corn Cheesecake Melt. And she sent me these cute little gift-like baggies with all my goodies in it! So cute and definitely gift-worthy!

As extras she sent a strawberry candy and a sample tart in Apple Clove Butter! Smelled just like Apple Butter that I grew up eating on my toast, however when I burned it - the cinnamon/clove made my eyes water so I had to change it out. :(

I'd also like to add that I paid by money order, Kelly sent me an email as soon as she received it and I had it 2 days later! Excellent CS!

Beach Girl Beauty


Oh, how I love Beach Girl Beauty! Her Koko Creams are fabulous if you are looking for a soaping scrub! You slather it on your skin and within seconds it turns into a lotion consistency with tiny sugar particles. I love it because it's so gentle. You could definitely use these every day! Also, all of the scents I ordered were a hit!

Island Girl - A nice lime scent, very tropical
Iced Cream - I thought I was ordering Ice Cream... not Iced Cream, but this is a great scent! Smells exactly like Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream minus the Chocolate! I love it!
Loveapple - Reminds me of a Pina Colada

She has free shipping through 2007!

The Soap Box Company


So I love the Soap Box Company! Lightning Fast Shipping, Cute Packaging, and Great CS! I ordered 4 bars of WI soap in Cranberry Yuzu, Coco Yum, African Vanilla Bean, and Blueberry! The owner is so sweet! She even included 2 villainess soap samples :)




I love the idea behind her site! Several etailers for one shipping! Plus since everything is premade it allows her to ship out right away! :)

Mineral Creek Essentials


Well if you want great CS - Vicky is super easy to work with! She put together these soap samplers for me - They were $6 for 5 sample cuts. I would say they are equal to about 1/4 of a full size soap.

Unfortunately most of these scents did not suit me. However, I have noticed that she now has a tangerine-peach bar that is calling my name! And if you like minty the peppermint cream soap is excellent!

My future order will include the honey oatmeal scrub, tangerine peach, and peppermint cream soaps! She has great CS and reasonable shipping!

Wylde Ivy


I must say, I'm quite impressed with Wylde Ivy the scents are so strong, the packaging is very professional, and frankly when opening the box you feel like you have just received a gift.

Here is what I ordered:
Lime Fizz Deli Soap - This is one of the most refreshing scents I've ever come across in a soap. Strong Notes of Lime and you can even smell the Fizz! A definite winner!
Lime Margarita Deli Soap - Reminds me of Lime Fizz without the Fizz
Crazy Cabana Deli Soap - Wow! This reminds me of a tropical fruity drink! I love it too!
Blackberry Cotton Candy Soap - Smells great! I'm not sure if it reminds me of blackberry cotton candy but Mmmm.. is it good!
Pure Butter Bar - I absolutely LOVE this one! It's unscented but it's to die for! A definite must have for any soap lover!
Mini Soap Sampler - This was the thing I was least impressed with, mainly because none of the scents were up my alley! I would've rather had another bar of something else.

Overall, I am very impressed with Wylde Ivy Soaps! They are smaller than most that I buy, but they smell fabulous and get the job done. Hawley Road is more moisturizing for my skin though, so if I reorder it will probably be to restock my Pure Butter Bar! It's heavenly! And if another Lime Fizz soap sneaks in too, well that wouldn't be so bad ;)

Hawley Road Soap Works


I absolutely adore Hawley Road Soaps. I ordered Vanilla Bean Noel (2), Spiced Cranberry(2), and Green Apple. Cold Processed Soap is so different from the store soaps, if you haven't tried them yet - you definitely should!

Vanilla Bean Noel: I love this one! So much in fact I am hoarding my 2nd bar until I can order more!!!
Spiced Cranberry: This was a great one, very festive (would be perfect around the holidays)!! Unfortunately since VBN arrived in the same order, this one was neglected for quite a while. :)
Green Apple: Love this one too. It's a clean, fresh green apple. I would say it's more of a clean scent, than a fruity one.

And as for the samples, I received 3 samples of different Vanillas that she was testing at the time, and a sample of her Pink Sugar soap! I remember liking all of the Vanillas, but none of them stick out over the VBN. The Pink Sugar soap was great though! A surprisingly refreshing scent.

Hawley Road soaps really work well on my skin, I always feel so soft after showering with one. Also she has one of the FASTEST tat's! I had my package within 3 days of ordering! Truly impressive :)

House of Tarts is HoT!!!


This was my very first HOT order! I ordered this summer and as you can see they arrived a little melted :( Due to 110 degree weather and a mail man that is too lazy to knock!

Here are the scents I got:
Coco-Nana Cream Pie
Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies
Strawberry Cake Batter
Butterscotch Brulee
Chip-Witch
Strawberry Buttercream
Texas Baked Apples
Candy Corn Cupcakes
Red & Blue with Envy

You can check HOT out at http://www.houseoftarts.com/
*Not all of the scents are still available.

Kettlepot Soap Sampler


This was one of my first etailer orders, well actually, this is one of my first orders that I've taken pictures of. For a small amount of $3 you can order a try-a-lot sampler pack! Now you are probably saying - $3 what can you get for $3? Well let me tell you: pick any 3 soap quarters that are in stock, any lip lotion that is in stock, and a dollop of lotion. Check the home page for the list of available soaps and lip lotions, and your lotion dollop comes in your choice of Lavender, Green Clover & Aloe, Plain or Oatmeal Milk & Honey scent.

I myself have ordered 2 of these sample packs and absolutely love the lip lotions. They go on a little glossy and smell great! I ordered one in Fuzzy Navel - the perfect balance of peach and orange, and cream soda, which the most realistic cream soda that I've ever tried. The soaps are great, in particular I liked the way applejack and peel smelled! The soaps will leave you squeaky clean!

So, I know you now want your own ;) Here's the URL for those interested: http://www.kettlepotsoap.com/
