Along with the dreamy Rusalka Bath Salt, Jana also sent me five vials of her hand mixed perfumes to try. My nose can be pretty finicky (fickle, too, at times), but I was surprised to discover three whole scents I'd be happy to own in the future.
Ingredients (provided at captainblankenship.com)- All scents are made from a blend of essential oils in biodynamic grape alcohol from California, with the exception of Phosphorescent, which is made from a blend of essential oils and absolutes in biodynamic grape alcohol from California.
Some great things...

I get a milkshake newsletter every so often, and in one of the most recent ones I discovered a lovely little company called Captain Blankenship. After heading over to the very well-designed website to read about the products and their ingredients, I promptly emailed Jana and asked if she'd be willing to send me any samples to try. She said yes, and lucky little me waited patiently for their arrival. Today I'll be reviewing the Rusalka Bath Salt I received.

When I heard about W3ll People on the No More Dirty Looks blog, the product packaging was what initially drew me in. Can you blame me? It's smart, clean, and perfectly simple. However, after receiving a few of their products in the mail for review, I quickly realized that the company had much more to offer than dreamy branding. Today I'll be reviewing the first of three amazing W3ll People products I've been wearing lately: the Universalist Multi-Use Color Stick. Ingredients (provided at w3llpeople.com.com)- "Grapeseed...

When I see a lip gloss that claims to have plumping effects, I'm always reminded of an incident in a Sephora that involved Danielle, her swollen/red face, and some questionable cosmetic brand's version of plumping lip gloss. Needless to say, I was a little wary of trying Vapour Organic Beauty's Elixir Plumping Lip Gloss, regardless of how dreamy the ingredients seemed. Fortunately, I didn't have an allergic reaction after I summoned the nerve to use it. What I did have was some seriously...

Have you heard? Alima Pure just introduced two limited edition holiday collections! Cold Outside features three cool-toned eye shadows and a blush, and Warm Inside features three warm-toned eye shadows and a lovely shimmer powder. While I think warm tones tend to look better with my complexion, I had tons of fun trying out both sets!
Ingredients (provided with product packaging)- Mica (CI 77019). May Contain{+/-}: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510). Nothing more.
