Very pretty dusty rose color, with a touch of purple. I really enjoyed wearing this color this week. On Friday (several days after I took this photo), I topped it with SH Hidden Treasure and its really pretty when it flashes green. :D

Added Hidden Treasure over my mani, and I am loving it!

Dang my nails grow fast, look at that gap! This is about ten days of growth from first painting. o.o
If you compare this photo with the one taken of just Steady as She Rose, you can see a difference still - which is about five days. The SASR photo was shot around three days or so after mani.

Sudsy's Bath and Body





EDP rollers in:

Confetti Frosting -I absolutely LOVE this one! (2nd fave)

Vanilla Laces - A very nice sweet vanilla, could pass for a light buttercream. I like it!

Vahine Heart - dupe of Coeur de Vahine, I have never smelled the original but I really like this! Its kind of a fruity/floral/musky vanilla. Very unusual!

Twigs & Berries - th...is is a common scent but I still love it, smells like its name - twigs and berries (leans more berry than twig though)

Mardi Gras - very fresh juicy fruity scent. I love it, great for summer!

Buttercream Cupcake - I get a crayola undertone with this one, will let it sit and come back to it in a couple weeks. Other than that, I think I'll like it!


Sugar Scrubs:

Lemon Mallows - hooooomg, this one is wonderful! So creamy marshmallowy smelling with just the right touch of lemon to brighten. I really like this!

Pink Macaroon - My new fave! I think I've found my HG foody scent! I can't say enough about how wonderful it is! Number one favorite in my order.


Body Sprays:

Cedar - This is a really nice kind of sweet cedar. I'm using it for linen spray or air freshener.

Plum Crazy - I sprayed this on after zumba today and its a really nice plummy / berry scent. Its sweet and juicy and cooled me off quick!

Bedtime Bathory - I got this one to use as linen spray and it smells just like the J&J baby bedtime bath. So relaxing!

Candied Hibiscus - this is my 3rd favorite scent. Really difficult to describe! Its a floral but it doesn't get heady or overpowering on me, it goes sweet like the "candied" in its name, yet its light and fresh/clean smelling too. I really like this one!


Clamshell tart in Sangria - On cold sniff I get fruit but its mellow like a fruit salad with whipped cream in it or something. Will have to see how it melts!


Freebies:

One that I am sworn to not mention.

Soap sample in Frank and Myrrh - yummy, smells like expected. The soap gets that velvety lather that I love so much from homemade soaps and the scent lingers. My hands felt clean and soft after using it!

Shooter in Raspberry Violet - a nice blend of soft floral and fresh raspberry on bottle sniff. I just tested it, and am mostly getting the soft sweet powdery violet scent. Oils tend to change a lot on my skin, you may have a different experience. :)


The real star here is Pink Mac, 2nd is Confetti Frosting and 3rd is the Lemon Mallows and Candied Hibiscus.


Shipping was super fast, less than a week from order to door. Refunded shipping difference to me and communicated awesomely! The Pink Mac was a blend that I requested, not on her scent list. Its now been added and is becoming a fave at the body board.
