Bergevin Bay Soap Co - Soaps, Mineral Makeup, Lotions, Shampoo, Skin Care and More
Who doesn't love bath, beauty and skin care products? Especially those uniquely hand crafted with good-for-you ingredients? I love all the soaps, lotions, body creams and beauty products on Etsy. There seems to be a very wide range of beauty products on Etsy and it make me stop and wonder..."Why would I go anywhere else" when I can shop from the comfort of my own home, on Etsy!
Bergevin Bay Soap Co has 38 different items to choose from. You will find soaps, lotions, mineral makeup, shampoo, skin care and lip balms...everything you need! They have some of the most beautifully crafted soaps, that are not only pleasing to the eye, but smell OH SO GOOD! Some of the items I've tried from Bergevin Bay Soap Co are shown below.
BergevinBaySoapCo Shaving Cream Soap
This shaving cream soap is perfect for us women, who want a close shave, leaving our skin silky and soft. It worked really well in protecting my skin, while I shaved my legs. My legs were so smooth afterwards, that I've decided to use this shaving cream soap, instead of my normal regular soap. This would make the perfect gift, if you are seeking a different and unique gift for not only women, but for men as well.
BergevinBaySoapCo Lemon Rosemary Soap
Oh my goodness! This Lemon Rosemary Goats Milk Soap smells so good! It is beautifully marbled with a light creamy yellow mixed with a dark green. So beautiful. It smells really nice and does not leave a dry or sticky residue when using it. This bar of soap contains moisturizing ingredients: Glycerin, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Goats Milk, Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Palm Kern Oil, Lye and Fragrance.
The soaps are colored with natural micas and oxides, NOT synthetic dyes.
BergevinBaySoapCo Coffee Scrub Soap
How beautiful is this bar of soap! I am just in love with all the beautiful marbled colors! This is the Coffee Scrub Soap and yes...it reminds me of the smell of coffee! You will find the aroma of freshly brewed coffee in this bar of soap which contains: Coffee, Safflower oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil,Shea Butter, Lye, Coconut Milk, Cocoa Powder and Fragrance. This has got to be my favorite soap by BergevinBaySoapCo! It's truly awesome! AND....did you know that this Coffee Scrub Soap has the added benefit of neutralizing odors from your hands, when cooking?
BergevinBaySoapCo Mineral Bronzer
This gives the new meaning to sun-kissed glow! This mineral bronzer adheres to your skin for a long lasting coverage. I actually used this, this morning, as a mineral foundation and it went on so smoothly and it looked as if I had been sunning all day! I love how it feels, weightless and is not heavy or cakey at all. This bronzer contains: Sericite Mica, zinc oxide, kaolin clay, magnesium stearate, allantoin, iron oxides and mica.
BergevinBaySoapCo Oatmeal Stout Scrub
Yep...it smells like oatmeal and I love it! This is a scrub soap that contains a full-bodied beer along with oats for a nutrient rich soap that balances and conditions dry and irritated skin, while removing dirt, oils and odor. The beer in this soap has a component that helps maintain a healthy ph level in skin.
Ingredients in this soap contain: Beer, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, oatmeal, lye, ground oatmeal, sweet almond oil, castor oil and fragrance. I absolutely love how this leaves my skin feeling and did you know, that the bioactive molecule, that is present in hops, has anti-cancer effects, greater than green tea!
BERGEVINBAYSOAPCO BODY LOTION BAR
This lotion bar is so unique, that it comes in it's own tin container. The pink grapefruit that I tried is awesome! I love the scent (I'm a grapefruit scent freak!). Since this is concentrated, it doesn't take much and a little goes a long way. This body lotion bar is smooth, easily glides onto your skin, leaving a soft finish. Ingredients in this lotion bar contains: cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, castor oil, stearic acid and fragrance. I love that I can just carry this in my purse, without taking up too much room (hardly any at all!) and can pull it out whenever I need it! So convenient!
You can find these products and more, by checking out BergevinBaySoapCo on Etsy. They have wonderful and unique soaps of different scents, lotions and even makeup that you will love.

Soaps N Dreams - Natural, Soaps, Bath, Beauty, Wall Decor & Dream Catchers
Soaps N Dreams really says it all about this Etsy Shop. There, you will find Natural products such as soaps, bath products, beauty products, wall decor and dream catchers. Soaps N Dreams has 66 items in their shop and I got to experience some of these wonderful products that this Etsy shop has to offer.
This first two product, shown below, are the Extravagant and Sleep Scented Shimmer Premium Body Lotions. Both smell totally awesome, but I would have to say that the Extravagant is my favorite of the two. It smells heavenly! Both lotions have this shimmering sparkle when you apply it and it leaves your skin so soft! They are a non-greasy lotion, that absorbs into your skin, leaving your skin moisturized with a fun sparkle! Great for the evenings or weekend nights out.
I was surprised, after using this one night, that my skin still felt soft and a little moisturized. That is exactly what I'm looking for in a body lotion! This is not a lotion that will absorb and then hours later, you have to apply. If you have sensitive skin, Soaps N Dreams offers this lotion in an unscented version.
Available Flavors:
*EXTRAVAGANT: Rose & Peony
*FRESH: Sweet Orange Peppermint
*LOVELY: Japanese Cherry Blossom
*SIMPLE: Unscented
*SLEEP: Lavender Vanilla
The next two products are bar soaps. The two fragrances, shown here, are the Fresh and Cheerful. I love the scent of both of these and the Fresh really does have this fresh scent to it. My favorite is the Cheerful. It's so uplifting, inviting and I couldn't stop smelling this!
Each soap came in this adorable burlap bag, wrapped in a pink ribbon. Fresh Soap has a sweet citrus aroma of ripe oranges with a cool minty kick. It wakes up all your senses, has a gold shimmer and will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated, to kick start your day! This bar has the option to include an exfoliation, which is granulated orange peel, suspended throughout the bar.
Cheerful soap has this therapeutic property that should help with stomach upsets, which is made with a honey base. It's sweet and refreshing and has become my favorite of the two. There is a combo of honey and Chamomile and can be made with or without the orange peel exfoliation. Each bar is a 5.25 oz bar. The soaps you see above, that I am holding, is just a sample of what the actual soap bars are.
Cheerful Soap
Fresh Soap
The last product, shown below, is the Simple Bar Soap, available unscented. It is a cream to an off-white bar that has silky moisturizing properties that leaves your skin, happy and healthy. Simple is made using pure olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil, which all help nourish your skin. The unscented version is excellent for those with sensitive skin.
You can find these, and other wonderful products, by visiting Soaps N Dreams at the links below. Kristin Kirkland is the shop owner of Soap N Dreams so drop in with any questions you may have.

Spa Basket by Fire Flower Gift Shop on Etsy Review
If you're like me, you LOVE bath essentials. After a long day, hard day at work, all you want to do, is come home and unwind. I'm not a shower person, but more of a bath person. I love my baths, especially when I have nice and unique bath essentials, to give you that spa like experience.
First off, I would like to thank Virginia Herrington, from Fire Flower Gift Shop for sending me the spa basket. Virginia can be found on Etsy and has a shop called, "Fire Flower Gift Shop." Fire Flower Gift Shop sent me a very nice looking spa basket that consisted of:
First off, I would like to thank Virginia Herrington, from Fire Flower Gift Shop for sending me the spa basket. Virginia can be found on Etsy and has a shop called, "Fire Flower Gift Shop." Fire Flower Gift Shop sent me a very nice looking spa basket that consisted of:
- Cocoa Butter Lotion
- Rose Bath Salts
- Lavender Baths Salts
- Lemon Lavender Sugar Scrub
- Citrus Soap
- Honey Almond Soap
- Lavender and Green Tea Soap
- Honey Almond Shower Sponge
All of the above are homemade and created by Virginia, over at Fire Flower Gift Shop via Etsy. The basket is so cute! It is a weaved woven basket, almost a light Lime Green in color and is packed with all the above goodies. The Bath Salts, Scrub and Lotion comes in these cute little canning jars, with a decorative ribbon around each one. The sponge and soaps are individually wrapped, to keep it's freshness as well as giving each one a decorative look, that compliments the basket
The first thing I've tried, was the Cocoa Butter Lotion. It doesn't really have a scent, but I love the consistency of this lotion. It's almost like a cream, instead of a lotion. I love how this lotion feels. It leaves my hands silky feeling and gives off a silky look.
The baths salts in this basket are not your typical bath salts you would find at your local Walmart. These salts are actually more processed and has a consistency of a powder. I really love this, because I am not a fan of tiny rock like salts, that you can feel while in the bathtub. These ground up salts are perfect for those who have a hot tub, to give your water a wonderful scent, as well as softening your skin.
The Citrus and the Honey Almond soap comes in a cute little thin bar. These remind me of something you would find in a hotel. Mine came packaged in this pink cellophane type paper and once unwrapped, are a silky white bar. You can smell the soap as soon as you unwrap them!
The Lavender and Green Tea Soap is probably the most unique thing I noticed in this Spa Basket. It looked almost like some sort of candy bar! I love the feel and the texture of this soap! So different, and although I have not used it yet, I can't wait to try it!
The Lemon and Lavender Sugar Scrub smells OHHHH SO NICE! When I first opened the jar, I was instantly drawn in by the fragrance. It smells just as the name...LEMON AND LAVENDER! What a sweet combination. This scrub is perfect for exfoliating your body, removing any unwanted dry skin. You'll love this scrub!
Last, but certainly not least, is the Honey Almond Shower Sponge. I will be the first to admit...I never heard of a sponge that was infused with a fragrance and gave off a silkiness, once wet! This may look like your typical kitchen sponge, but it is so, much more than that. This is a wonderful smelling sponge, infused with Honey Almond.
Now, keep in mind...All of these products are HOMEMADE by Virginia Herrington, over at Fire Flower Gift Shop via Etsy. Check her out. She has many other products, not only spa related, but other wonderful gifts as well. She also accepts custom orders, so don't hesitate to ask her for a customized basket to fit your needs.
