sawyer's moon

I went to read reviews yesterday (was curious to read reviews for the March swap) and want to say thank you for the comments on my lotion!!! Yes - it is handmade! I had pretty much settled on using that recipe to sell (I've tested so many in the past year) and you guys pretty much sealed the deal for me .

Thanks! Jen

I've done a 100% monoi salt bar that is loverly .

Salt bars are not "supposed" to be scrubby (except for possibly the first use). Some people say they feel like washing with polished stone...I find that to be an accurate description.

Jen

Very nice! I use those same jars and lids and my clients love them!

Jen

Yup - strong throw to me means house filler. I'm ok with an fo that's a one-floor filler...but that's my minimum requirement. I've found a few JS fos that fit the bill...Cranberry Orange for one kicks butt! I just cp'd it as well and so far it's holding strong (I'm about 3 or so weeks into cure).

Jen

I use 9oz salsa type jars (I get them from SKS or WSP) with aluminum lids.

ETA: so I voted other

Jen

Michi - many many many people (including myself) add more sugar to Bohunk's...it's probably the norm vs the exception.

Jen

I love my laser thermometer!!!!! I got mine from Lotioncrafter's...I think I paid $70?

Jen

Yeah, cmille! Didn't you use monoi in a bubbling bath salt? I used it a couple of weeks ago (was saving it for special me-time) and loved it!!!!! I'm pretty sure it was you....

I use monoi to wash my face (along with some castor oil) - love it!

There's probably a lot of comedogenic (sp) items in what we make....I think cocoa butter is comedogenic too...but it's lovely in lotions and body butters! I probably wouldn't use a cocoa butter lotion on my face...nor would I probably use a coconut oil lotion...or any lotion for that matter. I use squalene (with a titch of monoi and vitamin e) as my moisturizer. But using those lotion/butters on my body...I don't worry so much about clogging my pores.

Do your lip balms contain cocoa butter? I know someone who breaks out on her chin if she uses a cocoa butter lip balm.

Just trying to point out a couple of ways to think about this. I don't think you posted that this was a facial lotion...

Jen

I think it's lovely! I have a lotion that's 12% monoi and I sub 76 co with it all the time if I don't want the monoi scent.

Jen

Coconut Lemongrass!

I know...but I'm sure Becky understands as well. She's a pretty savvy businesswoman .

OT - I see you live in NOLA. Hope you're doing ok down there! It's our (DH and mine) favorite place to visit in the US...

Jen

Mei-Mei -

It is *so* not your fault that some people are greedy. Stop feeling bad, ok?

Jen

I'll keep this in mind! I get my 10lb slab today!!!!

Jen

I was a bit harsh in my post and I apologize. I was just getting tired of the complaining about a freebie. Thank you to those of you who were able to say it much more eloquently!

Jen

Brenda - I am so sorry that you have to come on here constantly and explain, etc. For crying freaking out loud people...it's a free offer. How about you do what I did and order a 10lb slab to test like you would with any other vendor? That way you become a "paying" customer (preference over free offers as Brenda has stated many times) with a vendor that everyone's raving over...I think it's worth it. Cut off your nose to spite your face if you wish...but quit your bellyaching.

Geez.

Jen

I, too couldn't wait any longer after hearing the wonderful reviews so I ordered a slab along with samples last week and it gets here Wed! I'm so excited!!!!

Jen

Wow! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this! Looks like I've made the right choices .

Jen

I couldn't wait any longer so I placed an order today for a slab and a sample pack of fos. How can I wait when reading all the wonderful reviews ?!?!?! Hey - if someone is offering something for free...you have no right to gripe!

Jen

Hey - thanks for responding!

I haven't gotten it to throw great yet in EZ Soy (it's been almost 2 weeks now...) - will try in J50. I know others think it to be quite strong.

Thanks again! Jen

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!!! I can't wait to try this!

Jen

Maryann - you are so not being a PITA. When I saw your goodies...I thought how generous of you!!!! I'll take spoiling any which way I can get it .

Thank you for the fo supplier...I kind of thought that's where it's from...just wanted to make sure!

Jen

Endless Love Perfume Oil, Whipped Coffee Butter Facial Scrub, Soy Lotion Stick, and Pink Sugar Whipped Body Butter.

Maryann - Here are my reviews!

Endless Love Perfume oil - lovely! Excellent staying power!

Whipped Coffee Butter Facial Scrub - I would not use this on my face...mostly because it has a fragrance oil. I did use it on other parts of my body....love the scent! Would you share the fo source? If not - completly understand!

Soy Lotion Stick - really liked this! I'm not usually a big fan of lotion bars (they feel weird to me for some strange reason) but this didn't leave me with that weird feeling. Noticed that you put "all natural" (or something to that effect) on the label and its really not since you use a fragrance oil.

Pink Sugar Whipped Body Butter - I actually brought this to work with me today. I love it! So creamy smooth and the color is wonderful!

I loved your other items too! Had lots of fun with the bubble bath and melts .

Jen

Do you find you need to wick up on this one? I'm using it a 6% in EZ Soy with a 60c in a 9oz salsa jar...on the third burn and it's just not catching up.

Jen

Lynn gave me a small sample last night and its luscious. I lurve it . I used it neat on my lips - it's velvety smooth - and I keep licking my lips becasue it tastes so good! I'm going to order a lb or 2 in the prebuy.

Jen

TDF changed their website and I can't find anything to save my life anymore...and the shipping previously mentioned...

That's why! I found a much better supplier in Lotioncrafters!!!!
