Yes or No?

I've been debating on adding a spray perfume.

I found some great bottles that I love and are a great 1oz size and I would also scent them at a minimum of 40% fragrance. Here is an explanation on perfume vs the rest:

• Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% perfume concentrates. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result.

• Eau de parfum contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and generally doesn't cost as much as extract perfume.

• Eau de toilette has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the morning.

• Eau de cologne is sometimes used interchangeably with the term eau de toilette. However, the concoction began as the name of a light, fresh fragrance mixed with citrus oils and was made popular by Napoleon. Some perfumers today have a version of this called eau fraiche.

Would you girls be interested in purchasing?? I know price is a big deal, especially in these times! I'm thinking they would sell for around $10-$11.

Feel free to e-mail me at melissa@skincandyonline.com and let me know...I'd LOVE some feedback.

Look, look, look

I'm putting together a foot care gift pack as soon as all the supplies come in.

It will include:
-a jar of The Best Foot Scrub In The Whole Wide World
-a jar of the Foot Cream
-1 real honest to goodness Ped Egg
-and it will come in one of these silk purses. The purses are 8"x8"

I've been working on a foot spray too (with peppermint and tea tree oils) to be sprayed on the tooties after the scrub and creams...not sure if that will be in there or not.

I'm excited. I have to figure out pricing but these will be very, very, very affordable! I'm only going to start with 50 of these babies. If they do really well, I'll add more.

Bath melts are back!

I just placed the bath melts back in the store!

If it's still warm in your part of the country you may want to hold off on ordering for a bit. These may melt if they sit in the back of a warm mail truck for a day or so!

I also just put the new "design your own scrub" on sale for one week...go check it out.

Hey guys. Quick note to let everyone know that I am closing the store for a bit.

My hubby is taking me camping this weekend to celebrate 9 years of marriage without killing each other and on Sunday Diane (hi Diane) is having a really big party (26 girls-hi party girls).

I've stayed open through the last few Skin Candy parties but I am going to close for this one, just in case.

If you can't live without your Skin Candy for 4-5 days, just pop me an e-mail and I can get you your fix lol.

Thanks everyone!
