I received a bar of Peppermint Soap, Onyx Solid Perfume, Vanilla Lip Balm, a 4 oz bottle of Lavender Fields Lotion, a 2 oz bottle of Prairie Blossom Lotion, and a 2 oz bottle of Summer Night Lotion. I really liked the peppermint soap! The peppermint scent was just so soothing and relaxing in the tub while soaking and it felt nice on my skin and lathered very well. I also just thought the soap looked really cool with the natural flecks in it and the uneven homemade look of the soap bar. The lotions were very thin and soft so they went on really nice and I liked how easily they applied and how nice they made my skin feel. I didn’t love any of the scents I received though. They all smelled very natural and almost “woody” but they just weren’t really my type of scents. They were also pretty strong when you first applied them. I also didn’t care for the solid perfume scent, but it did apply very easily and came in a really nice little jar that would be very easy to take along with you. The lip balm was very nice! It was really smooth and soft on my lips and applied very easily. I liked the vanilla scent, though it too was a more natural scent then a typical vanilla scent in most beauty products.
