Gels/Soaps -Primal Elements - Soaps (in general)
chaosbunny 9/12/2004 3:33:00 AM
Primal Elements strongest is how beautiful and creative are. They tend to melt if you don't take care of them and fall apart too easily to use. They're best in the guest bathroom or for hand washing usage. They are very gentle however and just lots and lots of fun! Honestly, I perfer different soap to wash (lots of lather and scent lingers when I leave the shower with soft skin) but PE is so whimiscal and fun that it's hard not to look forward to their new soaps. I've been stalking their webpage for two years now!

Gels/Soaps -Primal Elements - Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse is very adorable and has a medium to strong chocolate throw. I like putting it out during Autumn. Primal Elements strongest is how beautiful and creative are.

GreenLady Soap, Yodelingfish or LUSH makes my favorite soaps but ET has so many CUTE molds that it's hard not to order from them, lol :) Plus, they have a very extensive fragrance list! If find the soaps definately better than drugstore but perfer some of the above mentioned vendors most of the time.

Lotions/ Creams -Earthen Treasures - Super Moisturizing Butter Bar
chaosbunny 9/12/2004 3:22:00 AM
These are very good and one of my favorite items from ET. They're easy to apply (sort of like deodrant) and mine came in clear containers. Some scents have more than one "flavor" so there's a very pretty layered effect. I ordererd mine super scented so they also last a while, my skin is a little tacky directly after application and it takes a bit longer than lotions to sink in but it's quite lovely. While I'm waiting for it to sink in, I brush some dusting powder w/glitter (LUSH Candy Fluff). Course, it doesn't stay very long but it's still a nice effect :) The "push up" part was stuck on almost all of the ones I got so I had to a bit of struggle getting it to move. Once I got it tho, it's very smooth to push up.

Bath Treatments -Earthen Treasures - Dry Oil MIst
chaosbunny 9/12/2004 3:17:00 AM
I purchased dry oils in Tommy, Wedding Cake, Buttercream, Lick Me All Over and Rich Citrus Cake. Scent : Tommy and Lick Me All Over were fine. Wedding Cake and Buttercream turned sour and was particularly nasty. I gave it 20 minutes to dry down to something yummy but it didn't happen. Apparently this has only happened twice (the first time a week before my shippment) and they don't know what/why it's happened. I'm turned off on ordering dry oil or any of those scents from them at the momment. Packaging : Smoke lingered on the box and the products. I'm not a smoker so that hindered my cold sniffing. Customer Service : Barbara answered my mails twice during the day which is excellent. She also asked me to send the items back so she could check them out. I'll be getting a refund for the shippment and replacements (although I've asked to get butter bars in fruity scents instead).

Skincare - Body -Earthen Treasures - buttercream scent
chaosbunny 9/12/2004 3:09:00 AM
There was something seriously wrong with the dry oil Buttercream I received yesterday from ET. It had a very sour smell to it and Barbara said there was another person who mentioned the same thing a week ago about another vanilla based scent. The Wedding cake dry oil also had a sour smell to it. I also purchased body butters and a Tommy set (dry oil, yogurt and soap) that were perfectly fine. My Lick Me All Over dry oil seemed to be fine also but I sent everything back and will be receiving a refund/exchange for both the postage and dry oil. I wouldn't order this scent or dry oils again but would from ET - it seems to be just a fluke but it was very, very nasty.

Candles -Unlisted Brand - Heart tarts, all scents
chaosbunny 9/12/2004 3:01:00 AM
Scents : The majority of the tarts I've sampled are true to their name/descriptions. I like foody, sweet and fruity scents mostly. The citrus and fruity scents seem to have the best throw compared to the sweeter vanillas. The "Clean" scents like "cool clean cotton" and "Oats & Honey" were also particularly strong. I could definately smell the tarts while the box was sitting on the counter waiting while I was signing for it at the PO, lol! Packaging : in plastic bags, nothing special. CS : Theresa is awesome and very friendly and I will be ordering again from her very soon for Christmas gifties!

Candles -Suds and Light - Cinnabon
chaosbunny 9/9/2004 1:49:00 AM
This is a very true scent although it was just a bit too sweet for me to burn a lot, that's just personal preference though! S&L tarts have an excellent throw (I just use the heart ones) and almost all her scents are true. Mickswick, LOLCandles and MST are also make wonderful tarts for excellent prices.
