Product spotlight and review – Sooky Lip Gloss

This is a new weekly feature here on our blog! I will pick a review that has been posted during the week and share it here. The author of the review I pick gets $15 in points to spend either online or in the shop, and the featured product gets to bask in the spotlight for a little while

This week the winning review was from Gracie, who wrote the following about our Sooky Lip Gloss

 

I bought Sooky and its the first of this line of lip glosses that I’ve bought. Its a cute color that can have different looks depending on how much is applied. It gives a soft pink look with only a light layer and a more evening look with a heavier layer. I also really like the applicator – keeps the fingers clean!

Gracie, if you read this would you please email me so I can give you your points? I have searched through our customers to find a match, but no luck

Here are some pictures from our birthday party. Lauren and Lesley baked some delicious goodies, and there were snacks and drinks and lots of great deals. Fun times were had by all!

Fabulous Friday – Our WHOLE line of unscented products! Yay!

It’s Fabulous Friday again (the weeks fly by, don’t they?!) This time I wanted to share our whole line of unscented products (we call the line CLEAN), because I finally got around to add them all in one convenient place on our website. Hurray! Below you can see a picture of the Body Butter in that line.

Le me introduce a line of products without any scent what so ever, for all you sensitive souls out the (and for you who have found your favorite perfume and doesn’t want anything to clash with it). Choose from Skin Smoothie, Whipped Sugar Body Scrub, Body Butter, Bar Soap, Solid Shampoo, Solid Conditioner, Hair Mask, Liquid Hand Soap, Nail Butter and Lip Balm. That should keep you smooth, and scent free, from top to toe!

You will find some of these unscented products through out our site, but we have collected them all {HERE} for your convenience.

As you can tell, I think all these products are quite fabulous and this weekend you can get them ALL for 25% off their regular price. Yay!

Hope to see you there!

Kind regards from us all at the St. John’s Shop

This week the winning review was from Diane, who wrote the following about our Pineapple Cream Parfait Skin Smoothie (phew! is that the longest product name in the history of beauty products?!)

Wonderful lotion for the summer time. Smells fruity like pineapple but with a nice coconut scent. Smell like an exotic drink. Moisturizes perfectly and leaves a nice scent on the skin without being overpowering.

Fabulous Friday – Straight Up 2-in-1 Shower Gel & Shampoo

It’s Fabulous Friday! This weekend I wanted to share one of Jason’s favorite products!

No fuzz, just a really good and mild cleanser for both hair and skin (you can even use this on your face). Great both in the shower and in the gym bag. It is scented with pure essential oils, and you can choose between Peppermint & Patchouli and Cedarwood & Eucalyptus. Both equally refreshing.

This weekend you can get it for 25% off, so this is the perfect time to try it (or stock up if it is a favorite already). Regular price is $12, but now it’s only $9.

Have a fantastic weekend!

This week the winning review was from Melissa, who wrote the following about our Strawberry Vanilla Hair Mask:

I love the idea of this product and it works REALLY well for those people who have dyed/permed/ straightened their hair on a regular basis, or who have thick/curly hair (I ended up giving my mask to a friend with dyed curly hair who straightens it every day, lol)

I have really fine, straight as a whip hair, and it’s its natural colour is blonde (I’ve never dyed it) and I found the mask too heavy for my hair and weighed it down and made my hair look darker.

Love the smell though! Great product, just not for everyone.

What a helpful review! Thanks Melissa!

Warm Hearts

Warm Hearts is a campaign for Iris Kirby House in St. John’s, a shelter for women and children. In December, Telegram arts and lifestyles reporter Tara Bradbury visited the shelter as part of her three-part series “Violence at Home,” and felt compelled to try to help in some way.

Through Warm Hearts, The Telegram is collecting pyjamas, blankets, underwear, socks, slippers, housecoats, hats, scarves and mittens in various sizes for women and children (new items only, please), and gift certificates to local coffee shops — all things the shelter can use to provide warmth to its residents this winter. We’re also collecting personal care items like shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

“Republic of Doyle” actress Lynda Boyd is the official patron of the Warm Hearts campaign and today we can see her in The Telegram, with some of the donations readers have contributed to the campaign so far. Doesn’t she look fabulous?! We are proud to say that she is wearing Smink mineral makeup and that our own Bobby did her makeup for this shoot!

Here is how Bobby describes it: I used Blow Me Down and a bit of Switchel as a crease color and Blow Me Down as a lower liner, with a bit of Lassy to deepen it. I used Duff as a base and lid color, and Nish and Winterton as a brow highlight. For blush I used Lamanche and Lushes Bight, and then L’uh on the lips, but she had a bright pink lip stain on already that wouldn’t come off so it changed the color on her lips quite a bit.

On Feb 24 The Telegram presents “Stars for Warm Hearts” at the St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre,  with all proceeds going to Iris Kirby House. You should go! It will be fantastic with stars such as The Novaks, Chris Kirby and the Marquee, Ian Foster, Jerry Stamp, Kim Wempe, The Long Distance Runners and Mary Barry as well as electro-pop-rock band Repartee, comedian John Sheehan — also known as the bayman in Capital Mitsubishi’s “Townie vs Bayman” ads — and The Neighbourhood Strays gypsy-style bellydance troupe (Tval LOVES the Strays! Loves!!)

*Sigh* I wish I was in St. John’s….

Fabulous Friday – Pink Cotton Candy Shimmering Body Butter

Fabulous Friday is finally back! And this weekend I picked a product I thought would be splendid for Valentine’s: it smells heavenly, it shimmers and it’s pink! Could it be any better?!

Like all our Body Butters the Pink Cotton Candy Shimmering Body Butter is extremely rich in shea butter, so it will deeply hydrate your skin without feeling greasy. The scent is light compared to our Skin Smoothies, but it’s still noticeable enough for you to catch yourself sniffing your arm throughout the day!

This body butter has the addition of golden mica (even though the cream itself is pink), which will give your skin a light kiss of golden shimmer. The key word here is light, and it will appear more in sunlight so it is perfect to wear on arms and legs. The light scent of Pink Cotton Candy is perfect for Valentine’s, sweet but with a hint of musk.So delicious!

As you can tell, I think it’s really quite fabulous and this weekend you can get it for 25% off! Regular price is $16, but now it’s only $12.
