Give the Gift of Lush for Less!

Here’s a description of Beach Blonde, which is one of the two fragrances that I purchased:

If you enjoy spending long summer days at the beach, the Beach Blonde fragrance from Tyler will be a new favorite. It is a crisp invigorating scent reminiscent of sand, warm suntan oil and sea mist.

I smell it and it’s like I’m  a child, sitting at the shore with my mom. The smell is so very her, with a whiff of suntan oil. When I was a kid, Mom’s purse held that smell all year. I only tried a Beach Blonde votive, but I’m going to get the big one next time.

The other candle I picked out was PMS. It has a chocolate scent – a true chocolate scent, which is hard to find. I want a chocolate that smells like a brownie.

Just what you’re craving, chocolate.  The PMS fragrance is a spectacular scent of freshly baked chocolate cake!  With the perfect finishing touch, coconut shavings!

Home Fragrance-Highly Scented Tyler Candles

Lush Karma Fragrance straddles both the Summer and Fall scents. It has those fresh citrus notes with both Orange oil, Elemi, and Lemon Grass, but it deepens it with Lavender, Pine, and Patchouli. Lush says this about the scent, “Complex Citrus and Patchouli spread light and love.”  This is a scent with some spicy depth and warmth.

If you like the Karma Fragrance, then add to your collection with other Karma-scented products like the vegan Karma Soap and Dusting Powder or the litte tin that carries a to-go version of the Karma in a solid perfume.

These gels are described as “uplifting” in scentand are formulated with no parabens, no synthetic dyes, no petrochemicals, no phthalates, no silicone, no polycylic musks, no nitro musks, no mineral oil, no GMOs, and no triclosan.  That’s a lot of very good no-s.

The little gels (1.69 ounce size) are the perfect size for throwing into a travel bag. They come in a trio of fresh scents – Mint, Melon, and Clementine.

Now for the good yes stuff… The shower gels are made of 90% natural ingredients. Including aloe, wheat protein, zinc, and vitamins C and E. These ingredients work together to reduce the signs of aging, moisturize the skin, and “enhance the natural immune system of the skin.”

Fresh Smelling & Anti-aging Shower Gels

Wanna live a little? Exfoliate your back with strawberry seeds. Take a bath in dark chocolate. Order a sugar cookie soap (with rainbow sprinkles) and choose an icing color that matches your bathroom tile.

They make look bizarre, but how fun would it be to wash your hands with a Caribbean Coconut bar made with moisturizing coconut and palm oils and goats milk, topped with a dusting of shredded coconut?

How about Strawberry Smoothie Soap with exfoliating strawberry seeds?

Strawberry Smoothie Soap

None of these quirky sweet soaps, sold on Etsy, contain artifical lathering agent like SLS or propylene glycol. They smell amazing, look adorable and will do the job of cleaning your skin without stripping it of natural oils like so many harsh soaps.

Sugar Cookie Soap

Flavors (scents?) include Apple Crisp, Country Chunky Peach, Blueberry Cobbler with Brown Sugar, Almond Biscotti, Orange Mocha, Cinnamon Coffee Cake Golden Honeycomb and — of course — Chocolate Fudge Marble.
