Hibiscus Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi everyone I have never used anyones bases and I am considering Catalina Essentials because I have purchased containers from them and was quite happy with the prices. I noticed they have a shower gel base as well as lotion base and decided to order samples of both. If anyone here has tried their products please share your expereinces. What I am looking for is a shower gel that is highly moisturizing and a matching lotion base.I thought I would venture out a bit from my other stuff....wow right now I am sort of all over the place but still focused...lol So, anyone who has had excellent results with certain suppliers, please help me out as I am so weary of the searching and reading and arrrrrgh! Just need a little help right now.TIA To Everybody! Hibiscus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Haven't tried theirs. I like the lotion from Millcreek, and the Aloe shower gel from BCN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraInNY Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I just started ordering samples to test too. I have the lotion, aloe bath wash and handsoap from BCN and am ordering samples from JustScent. Has anyone tried Becky's new b&b stuff? I was also thinking about trying NG - does anybody have any opinions on them? I have heard several "no" votes on Candles & Supplies so I am staying away from them (for b&b anyway). I like the lotion from BCN, but thought it was just a tad heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckygemini Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I use the Aloe shower gel and the hand and body lotion base from Bitter Creek. I really like them both also I have always been very picky about lotion and this one is very nice and leaves my skin very soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogers397 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I use BCN as well and really like it, I have also been using some from Lezlee at Simply Soothing, hers is really nice as well and she'll customize a base for you as well, she is making me a Dead Sea Brine lotion and a DSM cream as we speak both are really nice.Janis Rogersjansbathscents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 NG- I like the multi base.(a lot) it does not have that distinct 'lotion' smell and is not greasy!
