Product Review: Peachy Clean & Flutterby Beauty

Hi my followers! How are you guys doing?

Here is my new update on bath & body products I've received recently. First of, I'm going to review products from company called

Peachy Clean




I was contacted by Emma, the owner, to try out some of her products. She makes her own products after so many years of tweaking & trials and her products don't contain harsh ingredients like parabens & SLS.

I visited her site and squealed over how cute it looks, and the fact that I CAN MIX MY OWN SCENT. I found it uber cool and I could decide on how much percentage of each scent in the mixture.

So here are my "mix & match" order
1. Whip (Strong & Colored; Pink Sugah 35% - Fruit Burst 65%)
2. Sugar Bubble (Strong & Colored; Berry Garden 50% - Cotton Candy 50%)
3. Daily Shine (Uncolored; Sun-kissed Mimosa)
4. Daily Dose (Colored; Blue Raspberries 50% - Lime Splash: 50%)
5. Sniffles (Jojoba Oil; Black Tie Affair)

Pink Sugah: Top notes of smooth Jamaican vanilla and caramel are chased by Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig leaves, Licorice, Strawberry Candy, Barbe-a-Papa, and musk with a dry down of Lily of the Valley, rich woods, and delicate powder.

Fruit Burst: A fruity mix of apples, peaches, strawberries, cherries and tangerines with a drydown of sweet cotton candy and vanilla.

Berry Garden: Discover a hidden treasure of tangy apples, orange blossoms, tart cranberries, mulberries, and blackberries dancing on a base of spun sugar and juicy strawberries.

Cotton Candy: Sugary strawberry and vanilla smells just like cotton candy being spun right in front of you.

Sun-kissed Mimosa: Top notes of mandarin, oranges, tangerines and sweet berries mixed with mimosa blossoms, peaches, pineapple, and plums resting on a base of lily, vanilla, soft jasmine and lavender.

Blue Raspberries: The sweet scent of ripened blue raspberries in the summer sun. This is not a candy-like raspberry, but rather a "real" raspberry fruit.

Lime Splash: Zesty lime, crisp apple, and refreshing orange, with a floral rose and black currant heart drying down to a sweet vanilla plum.

Black Tie Affair: Top notes of toasted vanilla bean, middle notes of black rose, smokey woods, sandalwood, surrounded by bottom notes of white carnation and blood orange all wrapped in a mist of vetiver, amber, touch of patchouli and Egyptian musk.



The Sugar Bubble (foaming sugar scrubs) is so pretty & smells like a fruity bubblegum, it's my favorite out of the bunch.


i don't even wanna use it xD

The Whip (creamy whipped soap), Emma sent an extra jar in Strawberry Dreams because she's making 2 different texture, the soft & harder one. This is what the soft one looks like, scented with my original scent mix (Pink Sugah & Fruit Burst)

(I've used it quite a bit)

and the firmer version (Strawberry Dreams)

I personally like the softer one better,
also for the scent Strawberry Dreams
(Sweet and creamy vanilla blended with juicy strawberries,
and a dash of coconut) smells to sweet for my liking.

The shampoo and conditioner have yet to be tested but they are both smells amazing & fresh. The sniffles (perfume vial) is such a good way to test a scent and the Black Tie Affair smells soooooooooo sexy. I'm planning to order something with that scent =)

Overall, I'm very pleased with this new company, their prices are also very reasonable, and the $5 shipping of any US order & $5 off International order deal are just too awesome to pass, right?


Flutterby Beauty

I read so many reviews on this company and its wide array of Lush dupe scents, and I think last winter I was so curious on LUSH Yummy Yummy Yummy and Sultana so I decided to make a small order from them.

I chose to order their trio Whipped Body Polish sampler, basically 3 jars of 3 oz foaming body scrubs, which allow you to pick more scent without committing to buy a large jar. For $10.95 I think it's a pretty good deal. The scents I chose are

American Dream: An irresistible blend of vanilla absolute with hints of clary sage and lavender on a woody base. (Compare to Lush American Cream)

Empress
: This gorgeous fruity floral fragrance will lure you in with black currants and berries, sparkling bergamot, exotic blooms, and mysterious olibanum. (Compare to Lush Sultana)

Yummyberry: A delectable blend of Succulent strawberries, sweet honey water, and squeeze of fresh orange. (Compare to Lush Yummy Yummy Yummy)

To my nose, they smell pretty identical and I really love the Body Polish feels, I think for the quality, it's up there with Isle of Eden and Cleanse Your Soul scrubs.
