New Fragrance Lines

With Christmas just around the corner, the Skinflint Workshop has been a busy place these last few weeks.

The beautiful looking and smelling Tayberry & Teakwood Soap is now a permanent line in the product range. It has proved so popular and has sold out completely within weeks.

A new batch is curing in the Skinflint workshop right now and it will be ready to use on the 16th January. I will label and have it ready for sale before Christmas. A little note will come with it to indicate the curing time it needs.

Two new Soy Melt fragrances are available. The luscious Very Vanilla and the breezy Sea Moss are great new additions to the Home Fragrance range. Along with these, there's the cute little Soy Candles available in four fragrances - Bananarama, Mimosa Breeze, Dragon's Blood and Fresh Cut Roses. At only $9.00, they make a great small gift or addition to a gift basket.

Soy Candles

The latest "The Skinny" can be found on the Skinflint Website.  There's information on different ways to use some of the products, the latest online special and the lowdown on Enriching Face Lotion.

The Skinflint Workshop is back in action with lots of products being manufactured. Some will be packaged differently until stocks of new containers arrive. Since the regular labels may not fit on the different container, the labelling may also look different. Hopefully by January, all will be rectified!

Dragon's Blood Soy Candle

I've been making some gorgeously fragrant soy candles in these cute little Baby Metro Jars. They will be available for sale soon at only $10.00 $9.00 each. Fragrances will be listed on the website as they become available. The apple gives you an idea of the size of these cute candles.

Soy wax burns cleanly and leaves no residue unlike paraffin wax. Most candles purchased from shops (such as Dusk) are made from paraffin wax since it is harder and less likely to become damaged in transit. When the flame is extinguished, the smoke is black. If the candle is in a container, the glass becomes black after time. Soy wax doesn't do this, making it the choice for the candles from Skinflint. It is far more environmentally friendly and is easily cleaned up with soap and water.

Soy Candles make a great small gift for teachers and work colleagues and are an ideal item to include in a gift basket. I expect these candles to be snapped up, so get your orders in quickly!

Fragrances so far are:

•  Mimosa Breeze - A very complex, exotic and soft feminine-floral scent with hints of warm jasmine, rosewood, musk and cedarwood.
• Fresh Cut Roses - the ultimate Rose fragrance, just like a whole lot of freshly picked rose petals.
• Bananarama - a fruity combination of tropical banana, pineapple and grapefruit with the tiniest hint of coconut.
• Dragon's Blood - warm, woody and earthy scent, with notes of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli & light tones of powdery musks and hints of asian florals to bring out subtle spice undertones.
