Well if you do not know, I am quite the beauty product junky. My boyfriend would probably say I am more of a hoarder(ok maybe not that crazed). I think it sort of runs in the family as well. I love going to my sister's and taking showers in her very large bathroom because she always has all of these new products that I have yet to use.
Now just because I buy so many beauty products does not mean I like them all. I have purchased a new face cleanser and found that it dries my face out or a new nail polish that just chips off the next day, so its pretty much a gamble, me and my beauty product buying.
Recently I came across this all natural, charitable company called Good Fortune Soap. Their products are made with all natural local ingredients and they have a mission, to empower girls out there who just don't have the resources to learn and grow into positive, well rounded citizens of our community. So right there is one check in my book. A company with great smelling, great packaged and great working products and they give back to the community, easy given if I do say so myself.
Now they love to have real people sample their items and give their honest review and well that is where I come in. About 2 weeks ago I signed up and with in about 5 days I received the product I had asked for, the 3-in-on Oil in Pink Grapefruit Orange. First of all it was love at first smell, I love citrus smelling products because they always help give you that little boost when you need it, especially in the early morning hours when you just don't want to go to work:) hehe. Second of all the packaging is not your typical packaging, to me it is very eye appealing and can be easily left out on a counter in a bathroom, it is that pleasant and pretty. Third, it helped me with some dry skin that I have to deal with on my elbows and knees and of course the heels of my feet. You just pump a little out into your hand(about less then a dime size amount) and you work it into your hands a little allowing the heat from your body to get the essential oils going and to also get the oil a different consistency, perfect for rubbing into your skin. Its also perfect for massages and baths(a drop or two under a warm running faucet). I myself like to use a tiny bit for my hair, giving it a little bit of a shine and helping to maintain those fly aways and static issues in the winter. For a little boost its perfectly good for those pulse points when you are having the mid afternoon slump.
The price of this item is $16 for 4 oz, and believe me, 4 ounces of oil will last you a very long time. When the product runs out, why not try filling it up with some hand soap to place next to your sink in that guest bathroom? It also could make a pretty little container for your favorite hand lotion. And one more for you crafty people, you can be real inventive and use the empty bottle for a bud vase as well. Continue on with the greenness.
Their items range from lip balm to bath soaks, perfect for putting together that relaxation birthday basket for that over worked friend or of course for yourself.
A little note to Good Fortune: Please send some of your products to some local stores in NYC, that would be oh so nice:) Sometimes I am one of those people who just cannot wait for items to be shipped, I need them here and now and well your products happen to be one of my new ones that I would like in my hands asap.
So be sure to check them on out!
