The Essentials Travel Kit:

Deodorant, Lotion, Scrub, Soap and Facial Creams in a Cosmetic Bag

$9.80

I am so excited to mention this wonderful deal from SpaTherapy here.  Let me start by saying that I love everything I’ve tried from SpaTherapy.  Her Tea Tree and Papaya Facial Scrub is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.  It scrubs with baking soda so it isn’t as harsh as salt or sugar which are larger grained.  Great for sensitive facial skin!  And her Night Repair Night Cream?  The best I’ve ever tried!  I’ve never been much on separating day creams from night creams but now I am!  This night cream is amazingly moizturizing and has all manner of wonderful emoillents in it.  It is a MUST-HAVE!

And then today, I came across this adorable travel bag in her store.  I don’t have any travel plans for the summer but I have been positively itching to try more of her items.  What better way than to try them out this way – in smaller sizes?  I love it!  The set includes a vegan deodorant, body lotion, body scrub, velvet face (day cream), night repair (night cream) and a soap.

So, if you want to try some really GREAT products from a seller that I will personally vouch for, get in on this deal.  Quantities, as I understand, are limited.  Don’t miss it!





Just like butta, baby.

Neptune’s Kiss Sheer Merlot Lip Butter

$4.75

I’ve had my eye on this lip butter for some time now.  I loved the pouty look in the picture (this isn’t a picture of me, by the way) and the beautiful bit of color it gave.  I also loved that it had essential oils in it and all manner of other wonderful things.

But, being habitually broke, I put off buying it for far too long.

And then I bit the bullet.  And bought it.  And am hooked.

This is a definite “Tried & True”.  The taste of this is number one amazing.  It is minty but not overwhelming.  And it smooths on so easily and comfortably, really like butter!  It isn’t waxy or nasty or icky; it is light and super-moisturizing.  And the color… the color is great!  I love anything to do with merlot so this being named “merlot” drew me in even more.  The color isn’t bold or extreme; it is a very light, sheer cover of color, just enough to give a wonderful pout to your lips.

In all, you will LOVE this and the customer service is some of the BEST I’ve had on Etsy, so far.  I ordered this on June 9 and it was in my hand on June 13.  Wow!  And Neptune Kiss is so friendly in her messages and sends shipping confirmations and everything.  You won’t be sorry you ordered this fantastic product!

I’ve spent scads of money at Just For Redheads in the past to get glosses that really look good with my skin-tone.  Well, no more.  This does exactly what I looked for at JFR for a fraction of the cost.

A+++++

Thanks, Neptune Kiss!
