So happy!

I was ecstatic when I saw one of my past favorite scents in the sample sale. Goddess- It is light, airy, with a hint of citrus. I got a bigger size at an incredible value. I couldn’t be happier.

Awesome! I'm glad you were able to snag a bottle while it was available. Thanks for sharing a review!

Smoked Orange: so good!

love this scent!! it's just as described - not too orange-y (i don't want to smell like a fruit) and not too smokey, the perfect combo. it has staying power and gives you a subtle scent all day. perfect for any time of year.

Oh, yay! I'm so glad to know you love it, thanks for sharing!

Ballet Slippers

Smells like honey and myrrh and beeswax and amber. Amazing base to layer on top of or wear alone.

So glad to hear that you're enjoying it, thank you!

Sandalwood

Sandlewood perfume

I use solid perfume on my pulse points first thing in the morning and before bed at night. It's perfect if you want something that isn't toxic and may layer multiple scents.

I can't think of a better way to bookend the day - so luxurious and soothing! Thank you for sharing!

Crushed Tuberose

Not Great

It does not smell like tuberose at all. I know natural smells are more earthy but this smells like nag champa and it is really strong. I tried to ask for an exchange or refund and was not considered.

It took me over an hour in the evening after work at my day job to handcraft this full size bottle for you. It does indeed smell like real tuberose. I wish you had started with a discovery set or a smaller bottle, because this is very wasteful. Nag Champa is sandalwood and champaca. This is a very fine tuberose absolute, with rose, and ylang ylang. Perhaps you could give it to someone who appreciates natural fragrances.

Very nice scent!

Laurel leaf & juniper is a great choice! I love the way it makes my house smell. It is a wonderful change from my usual vanilla favorites. I alternate this with my other fav Twinkle room spray.

Yay, I'm so glad you're enjoying this one too! Thanks so much for sharing a review!

Mandarin Dew

Beautiful and fresh!

Mandarin Dew is very clean and fresh. I like the roll -on and can layer it with any of the fragrances for a nice touch! The product lasts on my skin a long time too.

I'm so glad to know that you're enjoying it! Thank you for sharing a review!

Love my blends so much!

If you’re looking to create your own unique scent made with clean, high quality ingredients, this is it. My favorite blend is cream and soft musk. It’s the perfect vanilla musk scent. I have multiple blends that start with this combination and also include things like lavender, conifer, or sandalwood. I’m so glad I tried this out and will absolutely continue to order the fragrance blends in the future.

I had too much fun making these, and I'm so happy to know that you love how they turned out! Thanks so much!

So light and actually detangled my hair

I chose Tea fragrance and it is so nice and not overpowering. Feeling great about using these products that are so good for me. Thank you for continuing to create awesomeness!

Awesome, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

So Clever

This is such a clever little diffuser. It now has a permanent spot by my bedside and I can't wait to find a new scent to fill it!

They diffuse scent so well, right? Glad to know you're enjoying it - thanks for the review. :)

Nectar

Love this scent

I received a Nectar sample and I really loved how it smelled so I opted for a 3mL roll-on. I’m excited to try it. This is a scent I’d consider getting in an even bigger size or in a solid; It smells that good. It reminds me on Honeysuckle and summer. I love it.

Yum, so perfect for spring. I hope you're enjoying your roll-on! Thanks so much for the review!

Shimmer Powder

Gorgeous and Versatile!

I rarely wear makeup and consider it a special occasion type thing so I love that these are natural, buildable and versatile. I can use one product for almost all of my makeup needs. You can use these for literally anything and apply them with anything. Eyeshadow, YES! Hilighter, Yes! Body "glitter" Yes! Lipstick Topper/shimmer, Yes!
I am pale but with warm undertones and the Citrine, Mother Of Pearl, Fire Opal and Sandstone are my favorites.

What a fun review! I'm so glad you're enjoying the versatility of these, that's my favorite thing about them too!

Balm

Super Versatile

This balm is a staple and is so convenient to carry around. You can use it for just about anything and the formula is great because it penetrates your skin very well without making you feel too greasy. Making it great to use multiple times throughout the day!

Thanks so much for sharing a review! So glad you're liking it!

Butter: for face and body

Long lasting

I got the smallest .15 jar to use as a hand moisturizer and it lasted me almost 2 months! The oil penetrates nicely into the skin and soaks in well. It smells lovely and I didn't feel oily after using it.

Wow, that's awesome - a little does go a long way! Thanks for sharing!

If you buy anything from this shop, buy the perfumes and fragrances!

Fragrances are really where Twinkle Apothecary shines! Pompette and Tonic are my favorite custom blended scents! Both are fresh on the skin with citrus notes and complex undertones. They both wear extremely well and last a long time on the skin. I love that there is an option to custom blend your own scent or get one made from a previous collection. The small rollers or sprays are perfect for tossing in your purse, office desk, or travel bag.

Thank you, it's so nice to hear that you're enjoying them!

Sundays Oil

A fantastic little boost in a bottle. It's sharp enough to wake you up in the morning without being overpowering, like sniffing black pepper from the grinder.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Essential Oil Rollers: aromatherapy

Vetiver

Gorgeous depth and clarity to this scent. Similar to grass that's been baking in the sun, with a smoky edge. You get a lot out of using just a little.

It's such a nice vetiver, right? So glad you're enjoying it, thank you!

Eye Serum

Great eye serum

I’m in my mid 40s and the skin under my eyes has fine lines and gets really dry. This eye serum works great. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I see a difference in my skin. I put it on first thing when I wake up, then again at lunch and before bed. The skin under my eyes is more moisturized and the lines are less noticeable. And it sinks in quickly and doesn’t stay greasy like a lot of eye oils and creams I’ve used before. I really love it.

Oh, that's so great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad it's working for you!

Neroli Rose Balm: limited edition
Rachel K.
Great lightweight moisturizer

This quick-absorbing balm is lightweight with a mild and pleasant scent. I keep it on my desk at work (next to my Twinkle hand sanitizer) to moisturize my hands after washing them.

I'm so glad to know you're enjoying it! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Eye Tint

Cocoa Eye Tint

i use it as an eyeliner and it looks really good! no need to smudge it out or anything. the only problem i have with it is that it irritates my eyes a little bit after putting it on my lower lid. Is it because I’m applying it wrong? Either way, great product!

Thank you so much! Hmm... without knowing how you're applying it that's hard to say, but it is strange that it would irritate the lower lid and not the top, so... maybe? Definitely make sure you're working with a clean brush and discontinue use if it keeps bothering you!

Rose Cream

Absolutely Gorgeous

This one reminds me of almond extract. It's a very happy, sweet, and cozy scent.

Ooh, thank you! So glad you enjoy!

Nectar
Hannah J.
Smells like Jasmine off the vine.

If you want to smell like a beautiful jasmine aroma in the spring, this one is perfect. If you mix it with a carrier oil it holds the scent well.

I'm so glad to know you like Nectar, it's one of my favorites too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Deodorant
Hannah J.
Smooth Texture and Clean Scent

So far this deodorant is my favorite I've ever tried. The color of it doesn't leave that pesky white residue on clothes. Depending on your natural musk and stress levels the coverage of odors will vary.

That's great to hear! Thank you for sharing your review!

So sweet

I ordered some fragrances that I have never tried before this month. I wanted a sweet, spring, sunny fragrance, and I found it in Tropic Flora. It is sweet, floral, and not too strong. It’s just what I was looking for. I will definitely be ordering a larger bottle of it soon.

Ooh, I love to hear that! Tropic Flora is one of my very favorites for spring and summer and I'm so glad you're loving it too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Sales are rare! These bottles look unassuming because I've tried to keep everything as affordable as possible, but the ingredients inside are very precious, and very expensive.
