Hand Candies!!! Mie's monthly pick!

Hi yall! 8D Sorry for the lack of updates. I was busy with testing and some other stuff. But I just HAVE to tell you guys about one of my favorite things. Its actually my Product of the month ^^. Hand Candies by Bath By Riley. These have become very popular lately and I see a lot of beauty junkies mentioning these.
These are not the edible kind of candies. Hand Candies are small amounts of a compressed sea salt scrub wrapped and shaped like little candies. They are meant for easy storage and travel sizes because of how small they are. Perfect to bring to school or work with you. I had heard about these first from Prettycity.com.

They had a small booth set up at the Kurvee Event I went to recently so I was able to sample and purchase a few. 8D  I bought 10 for $10 which was fine with me! They had a variety of "flavors" to choose from for those of you who like large options. Here are the ones I picked out:

So far I have only used "Goddess" and "Ocean Breeze". They both smell GREAT although I do favor Goddess more.

First look out of the wrapper!

Looks like a tiny bar of soap right? So CUTE! All you gotta do is then crumble it up so it becomes easier to apply. Once broken apart you have quite a bit there. You do NOT need to use all of it at one time.

Above in my hand is only about 1/3 of the whole bar. Like I said you don't need a lot. Sprinkle a little onto your hand and then wrap the rest back up.

STEPS:
1. Break apart the "candy"
2. Wet hands with warm water.
3. Apple small amount into palm of hands.
4. Massage scrub all over hands. Front back, side-to-side :D
5. SCRUB GOOD D<
6. Rinse with warm water~
7. Pat dry!

Afterwards you can feel how soft and smooth your hands are!!! Its amazing. I was able to try it at the event which led me to buy it. Believe me, if it didn't work I would not have bought it. Who wants to buy something that doesn't do its job :?

Pros:

Can be used multiple times
Can be used on hands AND body.
Easy to travel with/small and compact
Amazing long lasting scents!
Perfect for all ages

Cons:
On the website they cost $2.00 each which I think is a bit pricey considering how small they are. Which is why I try to get the most use out of them. I don't mind the $10 for 10 though 8D

Overall: 5/5!!!

BONUS!!!

Elissa the kind lady who was running the booth with her husband gave me a Bath Bomb with my Hand Candies to test and review. 

The scent is Flirtini which also has its own matching Hand Candy.

It smells really nice at a close distance. But when put into the bath tub the aroma kinda dies.
I was expecting the room/tub to be filled with the scent. Sadly not. Hopefully some of the other bath bombs they have will have a stronger smell D:
Overall Review: 3/5

Thank you so much for reading! I hope at one point this could be one of my giveaway items. I would love for you guys to be able to try it!!!

Of course the moment I heard about it I just couldn't miss it.... they had me at desserts 8D.

Kurvee's Shopping Experience is directed at "curvy" women from all over. (typically like size 10+)
There will be Vendors selling their merchandise and giveaways!!!

First 100 people receive a swagg bag with gifts from sponsored brands. A few to name are Pur Minerals, Chinese Laundry, Curls, 365hangers etc with more to come! I am excited to attend the cover the event!

This is a ticketed event @ $9.19(with tax) but i'm sure it will be worth it and thats much cheaper than the other beauty events I have attended/ seen. Good way to network for all you bloggers!

Life Update: Beautylish event!

Sorry for the lack of personal updates!! Just been so busy. Lately I have been attending a few "beauty events". Events organized for those who want to try new make up products, industry professionals, youtubers/bloggers etc.

They have been a lot of fun and I have met some wonderful and talented ladies from them. Some of the events offered Swag Bags sponsored by cosmetic,hair, and skin care companies who want you to try their products. This is a great way to mingle and try something new!

The last event I went to was the Spring Preview hosted by Beautylish.com in honor of their new beauty director Ning Chao's spring picks!! If you guys are not already on the website I suggest you join NOW. It was held at the W Hotel in Westwood (not Hollywood which was almost my mistake). Very nice and classy. They served food for the guest throughout the night and offered beauty services hosted by Pureology, Clinique, and Hourglass.

Me, Melissa and the Le Metier De Beaute Team


I met some really lovely people there! I spoke to one woman from Clinique basically for the whole night and she was so cute with a fun personality! Also met miss Jennifer who was sweet.. even though she just came from work and was sick ;_; Was sad the night had to end so soon..and I was being shy and lame but left with a sweet goodie bag to end the night! As you can see I forgot my camera 8D
