Operation Etsy Company Review Eleven - Dr, K's Soap Company

Here my fine friends, is my most recent Etsy review company.

I am very proud to do this one as not only are the product excellent, the company is Irish like me.

This is one of my more expensive buys as the products are full size, but they are amazing.

My entire order cost me €26.30 and it is worth every penny.

You can check out their Etsy store here

Shipping was super fast and the products as you can see from the picture are very well presented.

From example the soaps wrapped simply in twine with a little tag would be perfect as a small christmas gift or stocking filler.

So on to what I got. Now I've had this stuff for a while as I wanted to try it all out first and as they are full size it has taken ages.

I got the Beeswax and Manuka Honey soap, Lavender Soap and Peppermint (more on this one later)
100% Natural whipped body butter in Citrus Bliss (smells amazing)
2x Clay facial masks in Chocolate dream
3x lipbalms in peppermint, vanilla and orange and cherry choc.


100% natural whipped body butter in Citrus Bliss.

This body butter is more on the solid side of what i'm used to but a little bit goes a long way.

Smells divine.


Clay Facial Mask in Chocolate Dream

Now what girl doesn't like chocolate even if it is on your face!

Mix the powder with Water, Olive oil, Yogurt which ever medium you prefer for your skin.
I used Organic Natural yogurt and it left my skin feeling super soft.

The soaps who pretty do these look.




I haven't used these all up completely yet which is understandable as they are massive. 
They are not drying which is fantastic.

Now as I said earlier here is the more info on the peppermint soap.
OMG this smells amazing, Like smelling an Aero Bar I almost didn't wanna use it,

But I caved one day and used it in the shower. My apartment smelt amazing afterwards as did I. lol it was a bit distracting as I smelt Aerobars everywhere that day.

Not a complaint though.


These leave the lips feeling nice and smooth and don't just sit on the surface as most balms do.

The only slight negative I have about these is that the cherry choc scent/taste wasn't for me but that is more of a preference thing. Not a fan of Cherry.

When I contacted the company to see if I could get a couple of items together they were very helpful and pleasant to email. Always a plus.

I definately recommend this company and with Christmas coming up what better way to show friends you care than but supporting small Irish companies.

For my non Irish followers, try 'em they're real good.

Thanks for stopping by.

Operation Etsy Company Review Five: Adorange Earrings.

Hey guys,

Here with another Etsy review.

This one is for earrings, I love danglies. But I also love unusual things.

When I came across these one afternoon a while ago, I had to have them.

Shipping was very fast.
The seller is so nice.
They and many more can be found in her store Adorange Earrings

Price: Excellent $4.14 for these beauties and only $2 shipping to Ireland.

So my thoughts........ I LOVE THESE!!! I've had them for about 2 months and I wear them all the time.

I got two different ones because well I'm odd like that.

What do you think? 

I definitely recommend a visit to her shop.

Operation Etsy Company Review Four: Moi Minerals

Hey guys,

It's been a while Since I've done one of these. Here is the next installment of 
Operation Etsy on Moi Minerals

The packaging is standard for samples, Small baggies.
Labels have a little logo and info on them which is nice.

The pigmentation is quite good on these.

Prices are pretty reasonable for pigments @ $5.00 per 5gm jar, the shipping is a little pricey but if you are getting a few jars it is worth it!

Overall I like these pigments especially Galaxy and Spank Me.

On to the obilgatory pics......




From Left to Right, Hi Five, Truffle, Rockstar Red, Spank Me, Onya
Ocean Queen, Lime Light, Cactus, Fireflies and Galaxy.


Fireflies Looks so pretty in the baggie but it doesn't really translate out.

These have good staying power and if you like pigments they are definately worth a shot.


Disclaimer: I paid for all the items shown in this post. This is my honest opinion and it is just that, my opinion.

Thanks for reading.
