Okay so let me start off by saying I am SUPER satisfied with these purchases. I've been wanting little good smelling products that I could throw in my purse and take with me wherever I go. However, I wanted something that wouldn't clash with my perfume, Pink Sugar by Aquolina. Aquolina brand products are a bit too pricey for my taste, so I did a little searching. After a ton of research, I made the amazing decision to use Etsy for the first time. For those of you who haven't heard of Etsy, it's a website where you can buy and sell homemade products and items. And let me tell you, I am now IN LOVE with Etsy. I ended up purchasing a hand/body lotion, hand sanitizer, and travel perfume.
I'll start off with the perfume I ordered from the seller DelightYourSenses. It's a "pink sugar" type scent like all the products I'll be mentioning and comes with (1) 8 ml fine mist perfume (1) 4 ml roll on perfume.
If you're unfamiliar with Pink Sugar, it's described as having notes of: Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Licorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder.
In my opinion, it smells like cotton candy, vanilla, caramel, and musk. Basically, it's heaven for a sweet tooth like me. It's not a childish cotton candy scent but is extremely sweet and warm. I wear this scent daily and I've always received compliments from both genders. As far as the smell, I have a hard time telling the difference between this fragrance and Aquolinas Pink Sugar, which is awesome. I've been loving the convenience of a small roller-ball and a little spray on perfume that can easily fit in the smallest of purses. The roller-ball is my favorite because you can apply it very subtly and none of the product is wasted. This fragrance is long lasting and didn't at all disappoint! I got a total of .12 fl oz of product for 7.25, 5.00 for the actual product and 2.25 for shipping. Also, the seller even included a little sample of body lotion in the scent "beach". Something I love about Etsy sellers is that a lot of them seem to give samples! The scent of the lotion smells clean and really does remind me of the beach, and the lotion is really great quality.
I also ordered a body lotion from the seller BonLogic. It's 2 oz of hand/body lotion in the scent pink sugar.
What impressed me most with this lotion is the awesome ingredients! It's made with goat milk as well as natural oils and vitamin E to truly nourish and hydrate your skin. The ingredients are:
Distilled water, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, emulsified wax, stearic acid, gylcerin, aloe vera, propylene gycol, vitamin E, diazolidinyl urea, idopropynyl, butylcarbarmate and fragrance.
The smell is light but still present, and lingers on your skin leaving the warm comforting scent of caramel and cotton candy. It has a nice thick texture and really moisturizes my dry hands and elbows. The seller included little slivers of her handmade soaps in 5 different scents for me to try out, one of them being pink sugar. They all smell divine and are great quality soaps. I paid a total of 4.00 for this, 2.75 for the product and 1.25 for shipping.

Lastly, I ordered a hand sanitizer from the seller KleanKristi. I've always carried around a Bath and Body hand sanitizer, but when I saw this I had to try it out. And I am so glad I did! It has better ingredients than the average hand sanitizer and smells nothing of alcohol! The scent is straight up pink sugary goodness, and it leaves my hands feeling soft and smelling great. I applied this in class the other day and a boy next to me actually asked "what is that amazing fragrance I'm smelling??" And after showing him he asked if he could use some despite the feminine scent. Included was a sample of handmade soap in the delicious scent, creamsicle. I've always been opposed to bars of soap because I've been so used to them having drying ingredients, but this stuff really moisturizes and has great ingredients. This seller sells an abundance of soaps and they are SO cute!! She sells soaps that look so cute you'd feel guilty using it because you don't want to mess it up. This purchase was a total of 4.70 with 2.75 for the product and 1.95 for shipping.
You guys should definitely check out these Etsy sellers, I communicated with all three of them and each was extremely helpful and all of these products are A+ quality for a great price. Each product is also available in alternative scents so if pink sugar isn't your thing, check out what else they have! And the sellers often times offer other fragrances that aren't listed, and Etsy allows you to personalize any purchase through communication with your seller.
Enjoy!!
