This month's @hellahandmadecreations @bcblacquers scrub will have you wanting to go out for brunch!

This scrub scent is so interesting and unique! I definitely pick up some champagne and citrus! It's muted but strong and no piece of the scent is overwhelming!
I will always be a fan of these scrubs. The beads are so nice and they always leave my hands feeling soft and smooth!

I'm just too excited and couldn't wait a moment longer to share this absolutely stunning polish with you all!

This (very amateur) swatch video here to show off just how shifty this @bcblacquers polish is! I will say my application on the nail stick isn't the best as this is my first application video, but I can say this polish applied very smoothly and I love how intense the magnetic pull is!

PR SAMPLE I'm lucky I wanted to buy apples for th PR SAMPLE

I'm lucky I wanted to buy apples for the background of my photos and thereford had them on hand, because after smelling this @bcblacquers cuticle oil I was craving apples somethin' fierce!
.
.
.
This Fairs & Carnivals themed @polishpickup exclusive cuticle oil smells just like its name, {Caramel Apples}.
Honestly I smell more of the fresh apples than the caramel and I am here for it! I do definitely pick up some sugary sweetness, but the primary scent is the apples themselves and that makes this oil refreshing and I don't feel like I need a glass of milk when smelling it! 😁 I image the "salty" scent helps balance things our perfectly as well!
The doe foot applicator is nice--I like that I can wipe off the excess back into the bottle and it applies more precisely.
The oil itself soaked in wonderfully and left my cuticles looking great!

PR SAMPLE Available tomorrow! This is actually my PR SAMPLE

Available tomorrow!
This is actually my first PR item from The InD Box and honestly all of the adorable items have me ready for summer!

www.theindbox.com
The box opens May 20th at 7pm Central!

This item in particular screams summer and fun drinks!
This {Sea Berry and Coconut Slushie Body Oil} from @1422designs has a perfect fun scent!

It definitely has a light and subtly fruity feel. I think I pick up the coconut and melon the most! But it's also the slightest bit sweet which must be the berries. There is also almost a little bit of a clean cotton scent which I think may be the florals! 😁
The oil itself soaks in nicely and left my hands feeling soft for quite a while! I also think a little goes a very long way and you do not have to use very much to cover both hands. I try to pump the least amount I can, but also I like to hoarde product, so use however much you like! 🤣😁 I also did only try this on my hands but I bet it would be great for spots like elbows!

Did someone say party?!
@bcblacquers is ready for the afterparty with this cuticle oil created especially for @hellahandmadecreations 
.
.
.
This oil smells like the freshest fruit soda ever! You can 100% smell the fizzy soda and to me, this one smells like sprite mixed with sweet raspberries! No part of the scent is overwhelming and it's not ultra sugary, but does lean a little sweet, but I'm in love. Fizzy soda scents are definitely right up my alley.
I love this applicator too. Normally I only go for brush pen oil applicators but this one is nice because it doesn't release too much oil at once! It actually applied a nice almost thin layer which I appreciate because I can add more if needed!
This is definitely a new favorite of mine, and I hope of yours soon too!

Originally created for the Unicorn & The Mythicals Box, @bcblacquers has made quite a uniquly scented whipped sugar scrub and it has been released on their site!
.
.

{Passionflower & Acai}
Price: $10.00
Size: 2 oz
Description: Passionflower & Acai whipped sugar scrub is a floral scrub with notes of fruits and flowers. The scrub has white and brown sugar for extra exfoliation. Base is Tinted with mica to give it the light purple color. Throughout the scrub you will see purple jojoba beads and on the top of the scrub you will see gold and white jojoba beads.

Scent: Passion Flower, Red currant, acai Berries, sweet plumeria, green leaves, Hawaiian Jasmin, & amber

Now this scent is definitely interesting! It is floral and clean and crisp. Not like a clean cotton clean, but almost like a rain forest meets a field of flowers, but maybe not as watery. I think I pick up the Jasmin and amber. 
I am a huge fan of BCB's scrubs and they always leave my hands feels moisturized. I also super appreciate all of the beads in this one! I just feel so fancy when I use it! 🤩
