I am a lip balm addict. My lips are always so dry and I need something on them at all times to keep them from cracking. My Lip Stuff makes a dizzying array of over 400 flavors of lip balm so there is something for everyone!
The great thing about this company is their dedication to using natural ingredients and being kind to the earth. They do not test on animals and even have a line of vegan lip balms! They also have a place on their website to give ideas on how to recycle their used lip balm tubes.
My Lip Stuff makes customizable lip balm labels for their products too. Great idea for a bridal shower or birthday party.
My Lip Stuff sent me 3 of their lip balms to test out. First off, I had to try their "Monkey Farts" flavor. Don't let the name fool you, it's a mix of banana, grapefruit, kiwi, bubblegum, strawberry, and vanilla. It went on very smoothly and had a very low key pleasant smell to it. Who knew that I would like Monkey farts?
I was also sent their vanilla and cinnamon flavors which were exactly how they sound, cinnamon-y and vanilla-y. I liked how the scents were not too overpowering. They also went on very smoothly and left a nice sheen to my lips without feeling overly waxy.
Buy it! You can purchase your own lip balm from their online store for $2.50 each.

I was given the opportunity to review a sampling of their handmade soaps and I am thoroughly impressed.
Their Blue Passion soap from the Nearly Natural collection smelled delicious and lathered up very well. It smelled mostly like vanilla but not overly so.
Doesn't the Pomegranate Jazz look good enough to eat? I loved the scent of this one and it felt great on my skin.
Next up was their ReneU bar from the Natural Soaps collection. These soaps do not have a scent to them because there is nothing unnatural in them, no artificial coloring or fragance of any kind and they are Vegan. This particular soap has amazing moisturizing properties which I could feel the first time I used it.
Being that I have dry skin, I also tried out their Sugar Scrub. Great for exfoliation and smells just like it sounds, like sugar.
Their Shea Monoi moisturizer in citrus scent smells fabulous and is great for people with dry skin like mine.
The Lemon-mint Foot balm works wonderful so far on my feet, great for getting your tootsies ready for summer sandals.
Where to buy it
You can buy their handmade soaps from their Etsy Shop at $5.50 a piece. Their other products are also available on their Etsy Shop (prices vary).
You can also purchase their products from their website, karesskrafters.com
Right now, they are having a Christmas in July special, free shipping for orders to the US and Canada!

Being a semi-girly girl with a limited amount of time to spend on spa products, I love finding products that smell great and moisturize and cleanse at the same time. Bodycology's products do all of those things.
I have very dry skin and their body cream moisturized my skin without feeling greasy or heavy. Their body cream contains aloe vera, shea butter, and vitamins E and C. I tried out the Brown Sugar Vanilla scent and loved it! It was a comforting smell without being overpowering.
Bodycology's Shower Gel and Foaming Bath is wonderful. The scent, once again, was perfect, not too perfumey or overpowering. The product foamed up to a rich lather and I enjoyed washing with it.
If you're like me, I always like to keep my perfume or other body mist in my purse for on the go touch ups of scent, but sometimes my favorite scents just aren't small enough to be considered portable. Bodycology's trial-size body mists solve that problem. It is the perfect size for purse travel! And the scent of Midnight Garden that I tried out was lovely.
