Isle of Eden

*Yeah*, my second order from Isle of Eden arrived in the post today! If you missed it, check out my previous post on Isle of Eden. This order still took awhile to arrive, 20 days, but I did receive a shipping notification this time around. I really wish it didn’t take so long to receive products from this site, but due to the extensive handmade nature of the products, it’s understandable. It should however be mentioned somewhere conspicuous on the site.

I ordered the Whipped Crystal Parfait, Caramel Freeze Choclaccino and a Create-A-Scrub. All arrived in their nice, signature packaging with a tiny “Little Lusting Pot” sample of the new Dream Cream in Poisoned Apple.

The Caramel Freeze Choclaccino, $11.79, 11oz looked absolutly mouth-watering in the picture. Upon arrival, the scrub looked a little less appetizing and sort of well- bland, but my opinion change once I opened the jar. The blend of coffee, caramel, chocolate and ice cream is a wonderfully decadent scent for all of you out there that love foody sniffs.

The Whipped Crystal Parfait, $11.94, 11oz is a generous helping of two luscious layers of Double-Whipped Creamy Sugar Scrub, with a center layer of Hawaiian Turbinado Raw Sugar Crystals. The best part about this is you get to pick both scents. I choose Pumpkin Buttercream and Warm Caramel Sugar. While the scrub itself in nice, you have to use up the top fragrance entirely to get a whiff of the bottom scent.

Critic's Choice: Finally, the best for last: The Create-A-Scrub, $11.70, 8oz is an impressive idea. You get to pick and choose your favorites. I felt like a kid in a candy store! A plethora of choices await those bath and body junkies willing to get creative. For not only do you get to choose what type of scrub you prefer – whipped salt or whipped sugar, but all the extra goodies you could ever imagine. How about: fragrance (Sanguigno Orange & Patchouli, w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l), colorful jojoba spears (yes, red), seeds (light on the blueberry and cranberry, please), an extra kick of moisture, sugar or salt (no) and make it a pretty color (yes, pink). All for under $12, wow! It’s no longer on their site, but last year I paid almost $50 for a customized scrub from Body Systems that didn’t even come close@!

I really like all the products I’ve ordered from Isle of Eden. Choosing is the hardest part, since you never know exactly what the finished result will smell like. I guess that’s half the fun…
