Test Success!

We've tested the Shaving Soap, Ocean Bars and Lavender Bars and they are all fabulous!

The shaving bars produce a great lather and leave the skin feeling smooth and moisturized, The Ocean & Lavender bars also have great lather and leave your skin feeling moisturized and smelling great!

I'm going to put the shave bars up for sale soon but I'm going to wait a bit on the Ocean & Lavender bars since they're still a bit soft.

Oh! I also created new labels for the Lip Balms, I like them more than the original packaging... they're a lot less "girly" as my boyfriend puts it, lol.

I'd love to know what you all think of them!

New Lip Balm flavors coming soon!

Very soon I will be adding Latte, Vanilla, Chocolate Orange Truffle and Mint Julep to my lip balm line.

Keep your eyes & ears open for these brand new additions!

I personally can't wait to try out the Latte :)

My first items are up for sale!

I put all four flavors of lip balm up for sale on Etsy today!

I'd love some feedback on the listing.. if you think it sounds good or if something else would sound more "catchy"

How exciting!

Lip Balm Labels

I came up with these labels for the lip balms made with lavender butter. In the picture they look blue but they're actually lavender in color. I'm not 100% sure I like them yet so any feedback is appreciated!

Lip Balm with Lavender Butter

I'd really been wanting to try a recipe with the Lavender Butter I have, so I put together a recipe with Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, Lavender Butter, Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E... I kept half plain and added Honey Flavor Oil to the other half and I just have to say these are fantastic!

I haven't tried the plain, just the honey so I don't know if the plain ones taste or smell of lavender or not.

I love both the consistency and the flavor of this batch though, I will definitely be making more!

I'm still having a challenge with making labels for the lip balms but as soon as I do I'm going to place them up for sale in my Etsy shop. There's nothing up for sale in it now but if you'd like to save the link for when there is, the url is:

Lip Balm Sucess!

I love it!

I'm a Cherry Chapstick addict so it was a big thing for me to try and switch to something else but the lip balm I made has pretty much the same consistency which is awesome! The only thing I need to change about it is more Cherry flavor in the next batch, other than that I've officially switched!

Next up... Honey Flavored and Root Beer Flavored lip balms!

I also think I'm going to buy different packaging, I got the plain white tubes but I think clear or "colored see through" would look a lot better...

Now to design labels...

My first batch of lip balm

I just poured them so it'll be a while before I'm able to test how they are. Half are no scent/flavor and the other half are cherry flavored.

It was pretty easy to do, I used a basic recipe of beeswax, coconut oil, cocoa butter, almond butter and vitamin e.

I'll see ow these turned out & tailor them from there...

I got a sunburn yesterday and my lips are chapped a bit and I've been putting aloe on them, I'm wondering if I can somehow incorporate aloe into a lip balm ingredient and if it would do any good or if there's something else out there that would be better to use for healing properties.

I also have lavender butter.. I wonder how that would be....
