Haul - Bodygoodies

At least twice a year Bodygoodies has a free shipping sale, usually around the beginning of the summer and the holidays.  Since my last order was a year ago and there were many new things available, I decided to place an order even though my soap stash is still sizable.  I'm glad I went for it because it turned out to be my favorite order so far.  I ordered 4 soaps and a mystery bag.  Below is most of what I ordered.  Some of the soaps have had samples taken from them and are no longer full size (1, 2, and 4).


The first 4 I picked and the others were from the mystery bag or extras.
  1. caribou crossing - unscented with a ground loofa bottom layer.  
  2. clay bar - I'm not sure what this is scented with but it smells manly, my guess is black pepper or frankincense.  
  3. bar none - unscented, this is the only one I haven't used yet.
  4. lavender mint - I love the scent of this one and the swirls are pretty too.  I've used about a 1/3 already.
  5. metz road soap ball - Smells like a cinnamon pastry, this was the first one I used because it was rolled in brown granulated sugar and the sugar had melted into the paper around it.
  6. room 42 - rose geranium, patchouli and cocoa
  7. amyst - rosemary mint.  I really like this one also but it has been retired.
  8. samples of honey orange and beer soap
Between the mystery bag and the extras there were a lot of surprises.  In the bag were (5) and (7) above, a serum sample, a laundry stick, and a low tide sample.  (6) and (8) were extras everyone received with their order, and Heidi kindly included a tinted lip lotion I requested.

Below is the treatment serum sample and tinted lip lotion.  I'm not a regular serum user so I expect this will last a long time.  I've used it around my eyes a few times.  The lip lotion goes on nicely and the tin is pretty big for a lip product.  The tint is very light when applied.

For anyone thinking about trying bodygoodies, the lather on these soaps is why I buy them, it's hard to describe the difference but it's worth splurging on if you want to try something new.  And if you already have a lot of soap, wait for the free shipping sales, which is usually $40 minimum.  Both times I've ordered during these sales I've received an extra free bar.

  1. I always take advantage of Heidi's free shipping :) Next time I'll be sure to order a bar of the lavender mint. I was surprised to hear that your metz smelled like cinnamon. I bought a couple bars of it last winter, when it was first released, and it smelled strongly of nutmeg and not cinnamon. Maybe it was changed a little. You've made me feel old .. looking at your lovely hands (with no big veins. lol)

    1. Hmm, maybe I have the metz road scent wrong! Cinnamon is something Heidi probably wouldn't use now that I think about it. I think it was the color, shape and melted sugar that reminded me of a cinnamon bun.
