Goodies by Mrs. Vondank

Mrs. Vondank can be found on Instagram  and big cartel, here is the direct link www.mrsvondank.bigcartel.com 

Her products are medicated and made with home made hash. Don't get all kinds of excited you will NOT get high !!

Recently I was sent free of charge a lemon lip balm, an Island Paradise scented bath bomb and coffee butter eye lotion. I wasn't expecting all this, she had offered the eye lotion and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. I am definetly a customer now. 


Let's start with the lip balm shall we: I was sent lemon which tastes exactly like lemon heads to me ! Unlike other lip balms there is no need to reapply a million times, it keeps your lips nicely moisturized. These are a must buy.


Next up is the coffee butter eye lotion. It's used for bags and dark under eye circles.  I started using this about 5 days ago, it immediately made my eyes silky smooth and day by day my bag upon bags are looking better and better.  Did mention my skin feels silky smooth ?!


Last but certainly not least was this powerhouse bathbomb. The scent was fruity goodness, I added a little bit of AvoWash by Lush Cosmetics for bubbles which complimented it nicely. The bomb was a fast fizzer but that was fine by me, the scent stuck around and made my skin feel great, I wish I could think of a better adjective because I truly loved how it made me feel. I cannot wait to get some more bombs, bigger ones !!! I will end this with some pictures of said bath and just know I was not paid for this review it's my honest opinion.

A girl has to do what a girl has to do

As a lot of you know I am a " Lushie ", no I am not an alcoholic I am just obsessed with the store Lush Cosmetics. If you have never heard of them please do yourself a favor and run to the closest store or pop online and check out what they have to offer www.lushusa.com. They do not test on animals and work with natural ingredients. They are amazing. 

Out of all their things I adore their bath products to make bath cocktail ( they coined that phrase ) they have bath bombs, bubble bars, bath melts. Said bombs have roses in them, seaweed, sparkles, some fizz, they all smell amazing and most of them turn your bath a gorgeous color. Of course all of this comes with a price, a price I cannot afford at the moment !!

With all of this being said I went onto Etsy recently and searched "bath bombs " and saw the cutest one from Mountain Madness Soap Company named Funky Monkey, the scent sounded heavenly and the price couldn't be beat. It was also all natural. Then I came across a bubble bar named Rock Candy, it sounded like it would smell like my favorite Lush bubble bar named The Comforter which to me personally smells like bubble gum. I went ahead and ordered both, with shipping total cost was only $12. That is a steal.

I waited eagerly for my package arrived and it finally came the other day, I busted open the package ( nothing was broken it was packed up nicely ) and sniffed both items, upon cold sniff I loved the Funky Monkey, the Rock Candy bubble bar was similar to my beloved Comforter bubble bar kind of, well maybe not !

That night I gave my daughter a bath and was nice enough to share some of my bubble bar, it was soft so it was easy enough to break off a piece for her which in a way I liked but it was a bit crumbly. We got lots of bubbles but not loving the scent the way I hoped I would. I am happy with the amount of bubbles I do get.

Tonight I used the Funky Monkey bath bomb, the smell is yummy, reminds me of a pina colada ! It lingers on the skin nicely after the bath afterwards and it's not overpowering. The bomb didn't change the bath water any color and it did not last long at all, pretty much over in two minutes- three tops. And it was super oily however my skin feels nice and soft. 

It is not Lush but I am pretty happy with what I got. I will still shop around Etsy and see what else they have to offer, it's fun to shop around :-)
