Giveaway: Urban Botanic Custom Scents



Good morning to any beauty product junkies out there. Here's a Giveaway you'll definitely want to get in on: Urban Botanics is sponsoring a A 3-PRODUCT SET OF YOUR CUSTOM SCENT!! That's parfum spray, lotion and a bath product of your choice — either shower gel or bubble bath — in a scent mixed just for you.



I posted about Urban Botanics earlier and wondered in the post if the custom scents were any good. And now I can tell you the answer. Kelsey from Urban Botanics contacted me and we worked up a couple of custom scents over email. She sent me the body lotion and parfum spray and the whole thing was frankly a lot of fun and I would do it again in a minute.

Here's how it went down. First, I took the personality quiz, next, Kelsey helped me pick a few different base scents that appealed to me. A few days later and surprise! a box arrived on my porch with pretty products made just for me. Having a custom scent is so Sarah Jessica Parker. Wouldn't you say?




Beside having a scent that I love and that my husband loves, I have to say that I'm especially digging the lotion — it's just a really good product. You can read about their simple, high-quality product line here.

Special Bonus for those of you who really want to try this — Giveaway winner or no — Urban Botanic is offering all Design Mom Readers a dealio: contact Kelsey to find your custom scent and you can the 3-product set for $48 + $5 shipping! A tempting deal, no doubt.

Thank you Kelsey & Urban Botanics!
