This week is lip balm week apparently, because for our new review we have a wonderful fruity lip balm made by Coquette Bath. This lip balm goes on nice and smooth, and the peach flavor had me licking my lips almost too much. I’m also digging just how cute the packaging is on this handmade lip balm – I don’t think I need to tell you that this one is hanging out in my purse as well, even though its summer! Buy it direct from Coquette.

If you’re looking for one of the most useful and well received presents to give anyone, hook them up with Faeriemade Soap’s handmade hemp lip balm. I gave away a bunch of these in handmade gift baskets, and oh my god I am still getting comments today, seven months later. I also covert my own, which I’ve had to hide away so it doesn’t get used by plenty of admiring fans. There is just so much awesome in this little tube that it hurts – it slides on nice and smooth, has the cute little tubes with the logo of theirs that I love, and with mine it had a bit of a tint so it was part lip balm, and part lipstick. It also tasted lovely no matter which flavor was presented, and well – like I said, I’m still getting comments month’s later that this was everyone’s favorite part of the gift baskets.

Now I’m a big sucker for the color blue, so you know that the visual of this handmade soap by Coquette Bath and Home is enough to catch my interest – and once I got a chance to smell it, I was in Heaven. It’s a fresh, clean scent that feels like being in a spring shower, right in the bath. I couldn’t put this handmade soap down once I started using it. It had a great lather, and the feel on my skin was great. This is in my top picks for handmade soaps, and it couldn’t be made by a nicer person. Check it out at Coquette Bath and Home.

Yes, yes, I know what you’re saying ‘Oh God another Gudonya review???’ I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself – I frikkin love everything they make. Let me tell you about this soap. It’s a handmade soap with a Tahitian vanilla scent that is simply divine, with a charcoal exofoliation that leaves you with the most refreshed skin. This is one of my all time favorite soaps, and the scent is absolutely incredible. If I had to only have one body soap, I will go for this soap every single time. You can pick this and other handmade soaps at Gudonya’s Etsy shop.

This is my first review of one of the products she sent me in her sample package, and I have to say that I was thrilled with it. I got the one on the right, the Oasis solid perfume, and it is just lovely. The most surprising part is that I’m really not a perfume girl (to the point where it just took me three tries to spell that right) but I’ve pretty much blown through the sample. The scent is a very interesting one, with a touch of what I would almost describe as a sweet note, and made me feel like I was having a day at the spa. There is also a liquid perfume version of Oasis, and although I did not get to try that one, I do have to say that the scent lasts for quite awhile with the solid handmade perfume.
