Jessicas-Scented-Temptations

This is my second time getting from this vendor(and it won't be the last) and I LOVE her stuff!!! I have been venturing away form my go to scents to try new things and I literally like everything in this order...which for me when I am out of my "comfort zone" is astonishing. Her shots are so full that the lids won't even stay on so I have to bust out the tape lol. My order consisted of following ;

Body/room Spray in Fruit Loops- Which is true to its name ...Just like the cereal fruity and yummy! Though I wouldn't wear this on myself I shall use it on my bed so have sweet cereal dreams lol :)

All natural lip balm- I am not sure on the scent of this because I told her to surprise me but whatever it is it smells sweet and fruity. Goes on smooth and isn't at all gummy (which sometimes happens or at least in my opinion) Only thing is I wish it was in a tub instead of the little jar.

Coconut Lime Verbena- Sometimes when I get this scent It is to limey but this one isn't! This one isn't super strong it's very fresh and mellow.

Pistachio Pudding Cake-I have never had this scent before and now I am sad that I haven't tried it sooner. This one is AMAZING sweet creamy delicious goodness.I MUST GET MORE!!!

Blueberry Pancakes- Almost edible this is sooo good!!! It smells like baking blueberry muffins/cake. I've had her normal blueberry before and loved it but was scared of this because I was worried the pancakes was gonna be to bakery (which by now y'all know I don't like) but this is perfect.

Oatmeal Milk & honey- Milk and Honey is probably one of my all time favorite scents ...But sadly most of the time it has a funky cherryish scent to it that is all I smell. With this one that isn't the case at all ( you can smell that scent but it's very faint)  it reminds me of a clean lotion smell.It could be a little more sweet though.

Hot Pink & Lime-This to me smells like pink lemonade with some lime slices thrown in. Very Citrus and sweet.

Cotton Candy & Banana- This one is sweet sugary goodness! Her banana runt (smells JUST like the candy) it awesome on it's own but mixed with the cotton candy its even better!!! I feel the need to mix this with some with blueberry pancakes.

Country Bumpkin-This to me smells like Christmas...It is cinnamon and spice and slightly sweet. I catch a very faint hint of apples and something else sweet that I can quite put my finger on.( I don't look at scent descriptions so that I am totally unbiased on my reviews)

Apple Butter Caramel- At first sniff this almost smells like coffee to me...But as I smell it more I get hints of the apples , nutmeg (perhaps) and sweetness. Another new to me smell that I was scared of (caramel smells like burnt to me) but I love this one!

Pineapple Strawberry Supreme-I don't catch much strawberry just a  juicy sweet semi tart pineapple.YUM!

Country Gift Shop- This one to me smells exactly like those cinnamon brooms you can get around this time of year. I am not the biggest cinnamon fan but this one isn't so strong as to agitate my nose. Maybe if she is lucky this one will go to my Mama because she LOVES cinnamon scents.

Sweet Tarts- The name says it all. It smells like opening up a package of sweet tarts. My 3 year old kept asking if he could "eat the candy" and that is smelled "good".

Apples & Oat- This one is odd but not in a bad way its just different. It smells like fresh sliced apples but with an odd undertone ...Which I am sure is the oat. This will more than likely be the first one I melt because It intrigues me. 

You can find her Facebook group Here and her Etsy shop Here. She has so many awesome scents it's definitely worth checking out. If you so happen as to order or join her group make sure to let her know Binky sent you :)

Sapeterapi

I was was so excited for this order to come in because it is a new vendor to me ( which is always fun) and came highly recommended by a someone whom I very must trust in the wax world. This is a little company called Sapeterapi based out of NC that specializes in all natural bath and body products as well as wax , incents and more!  This was my first order...

It consisted of  scents in the following ;
 Spirulina- Which I am unsure what this scent actually is ( it was a freebie) but I didn't much care of it but others in my house did,

Snickers Coffee Blend- This one to me didn't have as much of a coffee scent as I was hopping for but it's still pretty pleasant.

Jambleberry thumbprint cookies- At first scent it smells very berry with a mild bakey undertone... Which works for me because I am not a huge bakery scent fan and it made me really want to bake some thumbprint cookies!

Yuletide Pear Vanilla- This is by far one of the best pear type scents I have come across it is soooo good. This one is going on me " I need more of this list".

Pumpkin Pie/Tre Leches Cake- I love love love Tre leches cake and you can definitely catch that creamy goodness but then you get the bakery crust bakery type smell of the pumpkin pie which kinda throws me off...This is one I am not sure if I like or not. But I must melt it before I can say for sure!

Vanilla Cotton- This one smells so clean and fresh with a VERY light sweetness of vanilla it is WONDERFUL!!!

Hensel & Gretals house- This to me is straight up ginger bread with spices and almost a gum drop type scent .In my opinion this is a perfect holiday type scent without being your type smell it everywhere deal. I have never had this from another vendor because I was afraid I would like it but I am very glad i ventured away from what I normally choose because this one is just YUM!

Vanilla Sandalwood- LOVE LOVE LOVE I am a huge sandalwood fan and this one didn't disappoint!!! I am not sure that I really smell any vanilla but I am ok with that because it still smells so amazing!

Mountain Lake- This smells to me like clean fresh air with citrus.This one is hubby approved which says a lot lol :)

Orange Chiffon Cake- Lemon Chiffon Cake is really the only bakery scent that I would go as far as saying I love and I have never had the orange kind so I gave it a shot and it's just as good. If you aren't much into bakery scent this is a good baby step!!!

Green Tea & Willow- This scent is oh so very unique (in a good way) after seeing someone say how amazing it was I just HAD to try it and I am sooo glad that I did. Everyone in the house fell in love with this scent it is so crisp and clean mixed with a earthy botanical. I have never had a scent like this before and its great!!! This would be a perfect scent to have going while while you are relaxing in a nice hot bath!

Wild berry lip balm- This was the first every vendor balm i have ever had the pleasure of having and I can honestly say that after trying this one I don't know If I could EVER go back to store bought kind. This went on sooo smooth and silky without being in the least bit sticky and had a very light berry scent to it...Y'all MUST try this lip balm you will NOT be disappointed!

Lemon Verbena Sugar Scrub- This is by the far one of the best sugar scrubs I have use both store and vendor bought! I have some of the worlds softest elbows right now lol :)

Lucky Little Duck

I love me some handmade bath and body products, so I'm oh so happy when I have the chance to try a new company. This time I have gotten a "soap ornament" from a little company called Lucky Little Duck. It is this cute little Christmas tree shaped soap on a rope in the scent Mistletoe.


 The concept is you hang them on your fake tree as an ornament to make it have a real tree scent and once you take your tree down you have some soap to use. Decoration that serves a purpose...I say genius! I have never smelled anything in a mistletoe scent prior to this soap it's different but I like it. To me it has a woody cologne type smell. I'm sure my hubby will be smelling mighty good when it comes time to use it :)  
Her shop  also offers just normal soap in several different scents as well as solid lotion sticks, body butter, Lip balm, bath salt and more!  You can find the Facebook page here as well as their shop here. If you decide to like their Facebook page be sure to tell them Binky sent you!!!

Gingerly Boutique

I had won a Thanksgiving shirt from a company called Gingerly Boutique . I had  the choice of 3 different tie styles and I chose "gobble till I wobble" because it was PERFECT for my son Elijah. This is a close up of the design...
as well as here is a picture of my handsome baby wearing it...
I think he looks ADORABLE but then again I am slightly biased lol :) This company specializes in personalized Infant and toddler bodysuits/shirts as well as headbands, jewelry and more!You can find their Facebook page here as well as their Etsy shop here. If you decide to like their Facebook page make sure to let them know Binky sent you.

Bec's Beach Feet

I was lucky enough to get an  pair of Shoeless sandals from Bec's Beach Feet. I've never owned any "foot jewelry" besides a few toe rings when I was younger but these adorable! They came in packaged in a cute orange organza bag...
All of her stuff is handmade to order using products such as jade, bone, wood, glass , turquoise  and crystal. They offer a wide variety of styles from a day at the beach to wedding styles! This is the pair I received...
I think they are super cute ( don't mind my feet lol) and I can't wait until summer time to show them off!!!

Yay for Makeup

I got this amazing Rimmel London Retro Glam Mascara out of my VoxBox and I had wrote a small review on my whole box but I HAD to rave more about this Mascara! I have been using it for over a week now and I am sooo loving it!!! I hardly have any eyelashes (I'm a natural blonde) and with only ONE coat my eyelashes looked pretty damn good...Y'all should most definitely try it if you love mascara :)
This is a pic of my beautiful eyes lol and eyelashes after only one coat :)

RoseVoxBox


I was ecstatic when I got word that I would be receiving my very first VoxBox from Influnester. I got the "RoseVoxBox" this morning in the mail and couldn't wait to dig in!!! I shall list off what was in this box along with a short review...

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara- I have used  many Rimmel products so I was excited to see this in the box. Mascara would have to be my favorite type of makeup so that was a PLUS! What was interesting about this mascara is the wand...
At first it felt a little awkward when I was applying it (More than likely because I've never used this type of brush before) but once I got a "hang of things' it was great! With only one coat my lashes looked pretty awesome but I let that coat dry and put on a second coat and POW super lashes.This is great mascara I would definetly buy this produst!


Dr.Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions.- These are so furry and soooft. I have never used any type of shoe inserts so I had no idea what to expect. I cut them to size (the work from size 6-10)and put them in my boots and while they were comfortable (for the few hours I wore them) they were to hot. It's not yet cold enough here in Georgia, But I'm sure they'll keep your feet warm in Winter!


BelVita crunchy Breakfast Biscuits- These aren't actually that bad. They tasted to me like a mix of an oatmeal cookie and a ginger snap but with a "wholesome" texture (they have 19grams of whole grain per serving). My 3 year old thought they were "Deeelicious" lol :)


Kiss Gradation Polish- This is a cute little "kit" for a fun look. 
It is a pretty simple 3 step process but the drying time between coats is annoying to me. I love Kiss polish so I will use all 3 from the kit but not using this process.


Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles- Chocolate and Truffles need I say more???
I have had these maaany times because I am a chocolate fiend ...lol! These as always where oh so very yummy. I'm not gonna lie I ate them as soon as I opened the box ...Don't judge me!!!
