Happy Button Soap Co: Sweet Snuggles Scrub

A little something different for you all today - its been a long time since I have blogged about my other vice: Bath and Body!

I recently entered a contest over at the Happy Button Soap Company facebook page to create a scent for an upcoming customer inspired scrub scent trio.
My entry was Sweet Snuggles - a mix of Lavender, Pink Sugar, White Chocolate and a hint of Coconut. All of these are my favorite fragrances on their own and I thought they'd be awesome all blended together! I often do layer these together from the perfumes that I have in my stash. Yep, I've got a huuuuge perfume stash too, but that's another story! I came up with the name because I remembered Bree's sweet dog, Koumpi, and the Sunday morning snuggles she gets from him. I was one of the lucky winners and Bree sent a full sized scrub to me in the scent that I created!

Her packaging has only gotten more colorful since I last ordered! I don't know if she remembered that I love purple and green or if it was coincidence, but she not only wrapped it in purple tissue, the scrub itself is a light lavender color topped with hot pink sugar!



She even included a scrub sample with my free scrub! Its called Alice and has a very fresh and somewhat nostalgic scent to me. I can't quite put my finger on where I've smelled something similar before, but I love it!

I took this photo a while back, but her scrubs still foam up like this - its insanely gorgeous foam!


I also love her shampoo and original conditioner, it is one of the few sets that I don't have an allergic reaction to when I use them and they're safe for color treated hair! I also love her solid perfumes and body cream and lip balms and - well I don't think she makes a product that I don't love!

The other two winning scents in the trio were:
Blueberry Basil Jam - Blueberries, white sugar, and a touch of sweet basil (created by Julienne Marie)
Spicey Earth - Vetiver and cinnamon (created by Karin J Leary)


All three scents are available in her shop so why don't ya show her some love and give her lil shop a visit after July 7th! (she's on vacation)
Her items are pre made and she ships super fast, sometimes the same day!

  4. Congrats on the win! How fun. I've always wondered what my own custom made fragrance would smell like. Yours sounds comfortingly delicious.

    1. Thank you so much! :D I love dabbling in fragrance and layering stuff that I already have too - if you haven't yet you should try it! You can also custom make your own perfume oil over at the Haus Of Gloi webshop - LOVE her stuff too!

  5. Congrats on your winning custom scent :) HBSC has taken over where IoE left off. Her scrubs stay moist & pliable long after initially opening the container. They have the right amount of scrub to bubble ratio. The scents I have are so delicious & as you described, foam up beautifully. Great review ☼
