your Beauty Our duty

Meet Mother and Daughter Team: Amanda Fox and her mother Kathie Fox were bored one rainy afternoon. So they decided to hit the local craft store in search of mother/daughter activities. They happily stumbled on a candle making kit that turned out to be fabulous fun, but who knew that one day that candle kit would morph into a bath and body store? They learned more about fair trade through their vegetarianism and added fair trade in their stewing pot. They launched their store in September 2008.

Fanciful Fox offers a wide range of products at budget friendly prices for people of all ages. The mother and daughter duo at Fanciful Fox live a very strict vegan lifestyle and it reflects in their products. They don't use petrochemicals, parabens, formaldehyde donors, or carcingogens of any kind. The only ingredients that they're interested in using are the ones that sound pretty and is pretty for you.



Review: As a huge scrubbie fan, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the Super Fancy Body Scrub ($11.99), The Green Volcano Foot Scrub ($11.99), Scrubber ($5.99) and Salty But Sweet Hand Scrub ($5.99).

Scrubber and Salty But Sweet Hand Scrub are the best hand scrubs I've come across so far! Both do a fine job at exfoliating your hands and leaving them baby soft. The Scrubber is packed with apricot seeds, sugar, ground oatmeal, jojoba pearls and almond oil to keep your hands well moisturized without making them feel greasy. It has a light perfumey scent.

While on the other hand (no pun intended), the Salty But Sweet Hand Scrub is blended with sea salt, finely ground walnut shells, oatmeal and vitamin E. The name of this product describes the scent perfectly. It has more of a gourmand scent and is a bit more abrasive than the other scrub. It is hard to choose which hand scrub I like better. So I will say that I like both!

The The Green Volcano Foot Scrub is one of the best foot scrubs I've tried out. When I first opened the container the refreshing scent of peppermint was evident. It also has a wonderful blend of sea salt and oatmeal that will exfoliate your feet to perfection. After rinsing this off, my feet feel so refreshed and soft. It doesn't only make my feet feel better, but it also makes my feet look better. This is a good thing for someone who likes to wear heels.

Last, but surely not least... I tried out the Super Fancy Body Scrub. I thought that the apricot seeds and walnut shells would be too scratchy for my skin, but that wasn't the case at all with this scrub. While it doesn't give my skin that well polished look that I usually crave for when exfoliating, it provides the right amount of moisture and makes my skin feel super soft. Like the Scrubber, it also has a pleasant perfumey smell.

Overall, I'm happy with the Fanciful Fox line. At their very reasonable prices, they prove that you don't have shell out a lot of money to be gorgeously green.
