How fun does this look? ;-)
Combining minimal makeup with a soft sex appeal creates a glamorous finish without being "over the top" exposed. Perfect!
I contacted Tamara (Hi Tamara!!), a Dolce Mia representative I connected with via twitter, to ask if I could sample the products. She was very kind, directing me right to her site & encouraging me to figure out what, specifically, I wanted to try. “Is there any specific design or fragrance calling your name?” she asked. After taking a closer look at everything, I thought to myself, “All of them!” but I carefully chose the following goodies:
Pikake, Vanilla, Almond & Tropical Citrus.
I never take for granted what companies are in a position to provide so I was sure to say these were just my choices but whatever I could sample would be great. Tamara got back to me right away, informing me she'd ordered everything I had suggested. What a treat! :-)
I was also really interested in smelling the Wild West Leathery Western Cowboy Soap Bar. I liked the cowboy motif but I wondered if it really smelled like leather. True Story.
I chose the lotions over the soaps b/c I can get a feel for how long the scent will linger. Also, I like to see how well they moisturize.
I always apply my lotions/creams right after a shower (while the skin is still open) but when trying something new I always do this at night so I can check my skin in the morning. If my skin looks/feels dry and the scent is gone, I'll know it's junk.
A good moisturizer holds it's aroma and will leave your skin moisturized for a long while.
I was happy to see my package arrive just 6 days after our first email. I opened the box to find everything and more! There was a tropical Citrus soap bar added as well as a darling Pin Up, hand written card. I totally melted!
After I fawned over the designs and my card (which is sitting pretty on my kitchen counter) I started opening everything like a kid on Christmas morning! I opened one jar at a time to inhale one amazing scent after the next! I can't even say I have a favorite because they are ALL unique and delicious! They smelled even better than I imagined and I jumped in the shower so I could use them right away. I used the Vanilla and the Almond the first night & the Pikake and Tropical Citrus the next. I woke up the next day still moisturized and smelling great!
I have to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy these were for a lotion. I usually expect this deep texture with a cream but it was perfect for me.
At first I didn't want to open the Wild West Soap bar because it was packaged up so perfectly but the suspense was torture! I find it has a hint of citrus paired with a faint smell of leather. I'm not sure how that sounds to some of you because some people don't like the smell of leather but the two of them together work somehow! It's definitely masculine so it would make a great gift for a little boy because of the scent but also for the cool cowboy theme!
They're great for adults and kids b/c the scent is not overwhelming but definitely makes it's presence known. Everything is made with natural ingredients and taken from family recipes.
The fun part about them is they make great party favors! As you can see here, you can personalize products to make them extra special. I think that's brilliant, especially when giving them as gifts.
I love things like that!
