    Default ZOMG! I found something better than a butterball from Lush!!

    I enjoy going to the flea markets, and last weekend I went to the Traders Village in Grand Prairie.

    There was a lady there who sold incense, candles, soaps, etc. etc.

    She had bath bombs there last weekend, and they were reasonably priced so I figured I'd give a couple a try.

    OMG!! Its like a butterball! So moisturizing! And they smell sooooo good! I got three different ones, Chocolate Carribean Dream, Snickerdoodle, and Honeysuckle. I tried the Chocolate one first, and the next day I still had the faint scent of the ball on my skin.

    So, if any of you Dallas girls love the butterballs and want to get something similar for less, check her out. She says she will be there next weekend too in the Blue Expo building. She says her stock varies week to week as she makes everything herself, but she always has bath bombs and a few other goodies. She also said that she will soon be carrying a line of mineral cosmetics. (We had a long conversation because I thought it was just too cool...all the different stuff that she makes, as she puts it, "In her little kitchen"). I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was!!

    She gave me a card with a web address on it, but informed me that her site would not be up until March. Something about waiting for her merchant account so she could take credit cards.

    The web address is www.scentsofstyleonline.com and her email address is [email protected]

    She gave me a flyer that had all her items listed on it... I will find it and post what she makes. All I've tried is the bath bomb, a bath melt, and her gel incense.

    OK... this post is gonna be a little long but.... here is what she had on her flyers of items that rotate in and out of her flea market stand, and will be permanantly offered on her website:

    Honey Kids Soap-- Gentle and nourishing. Non-drying to the skin without being too moisturizing for young ones.

    Oatmeal Soap-- Packed with moisturizers and exfoliating oatmeal.

    Shaving Soap-- Loaded up with good for you moisture and all natural wheat protein for an extra lathery treat. Contains no detergents, no surfactants, no sulfates, no alcohol, and no sugar solutions to irritate freshly shaven skin.

    Shea Butter Soap-- Moisture rich and oh-so-smooth

    Kids soaps come in a variety of 10 kid tested and kid and mom approved scents. We currently offer 25 different fragrances in all of our other soaps. You can choose to have your soap with color or color free. Be assured, our colorants are all natural. Why ruin perfectly good natural soap with harmful chemical dyes?

    Bath Bombs--Fizzy fun for the tub. Color your waters beautifully without staining, lovely fragrances that you just cant resist that truly linger after you soak. Packed with moisturizing unprocessed shea butter to keep your skin soft and moisturized. Be careful when you get out of the tub, this can make things slippery!

    Bath Melts--Twice the moisture as our bombs, but none of the fizz. This is another slippery item!

    Fizzing Bath salts-- All the goodness of our bombs mixed with natural sea salts for soothing relief

    Flavored Lip Balm-- Soy based, vegan formula with no beeswax. Variety of flavors to choose from. Not scents that SMELL like flavors... actual flavors!! No sugar added, all our flavorings are sweetened with either Splenda or Stevia depending on the flavor.

    Mineral Make Up- We've had mineral lip gloss for a while and its done so well we have been working tirelessly (and you know we=me) on creating an entire line of purely botanical, from the Earth, good to your skin mineral cosmetics. Try our glosses now, foundation, eye shadow, veil, blush, and more coming soon!!

    Of course, we will continue to offer our gel incense, candle tarts, and soy candles for your enjoyment! Available scents change with the seasons, but our most popular ones are available year round.


    She gave me this flyer after I had asked her so many questions about her business. I can say, her bath bombs are awesome.

    Wow, sounds awesome! I'll definitely look her up come March!

    How were the prices compared to Lush?

    Duh... posted the products without the prices... jeez.

    Kid Soaps-- Variety of fun shapes, 2oz-3oz= 3.00
    Adult Soaps-- 3.5oz-5oz= 3.50-4.50
    Bath Bombs-- ALL varieties are 3.95, sometimes on special for 3, I got mine at the flea market for 3.

    Bath Melts-- These are pretty big and can be cut in two pieces. 3.50

    Fizzing bath salts- 4oz jar is 2.75

    Flavored Lip Balm- 2.00/tube

    Mineral Lip Gloss- 3.50/jar--- she had everything from a peach color to a deep red.

    Gel Incense-- 1.5oz sample jar is 2.00 or you can get a "six pack" for 10. She also has these "starter kits" where you get the warmer (electric or candle warmed) and a jar of scent. The electric ones I think were 18 and the candle warmed ones were 10. She was selling those like crazy. She also offers 8oz jars with an "air freshener" type lid for 6.00.

    Candle tarts-- Pack of 12 tarts for 4.00. Also an option with the above mentioned warmer.

    Soy Candles-- 12oz is 12 dollars, 16oz is 15 dollars. Nice jars.

    I don't know what she will be charging for the other mineral makeup, but I do know that part of her motivation for starting this business was the fact that she always wanted to be able to try all these products, but just couldn't afford them. So she set out to make them more affordable for the masses. Says she's been working at it for 4 years now. So I have to assume they will be as reasonable as her other prices.

    Zomg those are awesome prices, that's like 2-3 bucks less for the bombs and 2-5 bucks less for the melts! If the smells are good and they keep coming up with new fragrances, Lush may have lost its insatiable hold on my heart. I mean, the bathtime glitter and confetti and dried flowers and stuff kind of lose their appeal after the first couple times. ....please don't tar and feather me, Lushilites!

    And yes, Miss Stars, I think we would both benefit from another trip to Dallas. (Not that that means I don't want you to come here next month! Whirlpool tuuuuuub...)

    Well, I don't know if its a regular thing or anything, as my bath bombs were packaged for Valentines Day, but my bombs had some sparkly heart shaped confetti inside. Not as much as what you tend to get in a Lush ball, but pretty none the less. She also has a bomb with glitter, I'm just not into body glitter so I never get those. I'm just impressed that I can finally get something with the moisture of the butterball and have fragrance too. Plus the price is verrrry nice.
