These quality made refillable powder dispensing brushes will become an essential makeup tool in any woman's collection. These brushes are perfect for all your loose powder mineral makeups, blushes, foundations, bronzers, veil, mica powders, & body glitters. Or fill with natural powders like cornstarch and honey powder to make edible kama sutra body dusting powder!

Fast & easy to use! Brush is made using very fine all-natural goat hair bristles, giving this brush an exquisitely soft feel. It has a clear retractable sleeve that slides up to protect bristles from being bent while attaching the lid.To use, just unscrew the container cap & fill it with your favorite loose powder or body glitter. Then, remove the cap, lower the protective sleeve and brush on. To increase the amount of powder released, just tap or dab the brush.

We now offer three types of our popular refillable dispensing loose powder brushes. 

 MEDIUM
At only 4.4 inches long & the same diameter as a quarter, it makes this a handy tool to keep in your purse.











LARGE
This is the largest of our refillable powder brushes, holding 16.4 grams of powder.














 MINI POCKET TRAVEL SIZE
This is by far the smallest of our refillable powder brushes, making it perfect for hiding away in your pocket book or jacket pocket. Holds 2 grams of powder.

New Scents

Many customers, family & friends have been requesting we sell a coconut scent. With the summer steadily upon us, we thought it was only appropriate. We decided on Coconut Lime Verbena, which is comparable to the bath & body works scent of the same name.  We also added 2 more scents comparable to bath & body works: Warm Vanilla Sugar and Black Raspberry Vanilla.  Warm Vanilla Sugar will be replacing Vanilla Bean Supreme. The last is a rich Chocolate Devil's Food Cake.  We also updated our Blueberry Cobbler scent with a comparable scent that now can be used & our lotions & washes.

Black Raspberry Vanilla Type [Comparable to Bath & Body Works] (Purple) - Inspired by vine-ripened berries drenched in vanilla cream, this scent is a luscious blend of blackberry, bergamot, Anjou pear with vanilla orchid and taffeta musk.

Chocolate Devil Food Cake (Carmel) - Smells just like that first bite into a moist slice of fresh baked devil's food cake covered in chocolate frosting.

Coconut Lime Verbena Type [Comparable to Bath & Body Works] (White) - Inspired by an island breeze of luscious fruits and crisp citrus, blended with zesty lime and kumquat peel with mandarin, muguet and sheer coconut water
 
Warm Vanilla Sugar Type [Comparable to Bath & Body Works] (Carmel) - Vanilla infused with basmati rice water and sweet, creamy sandalwood create this addictively comforting scent where indulgence meets pure seduction.

Clean The World - Soaps Donation for Haiti

We all know of the terrible tragedy that struck the nation of Haiti on January 12th of 2010. When my 9 year old nephew Dominick heard about what happened, he was upset & asked me what he can do to help them. That is when we decided to make soaps to send to Haiti. 
     That weekend I had my nephew sleep over my house, and bright & early in the morning he woke me up ready to make soaps! Below I included some pictures of our day making soaps for Haiti. Our next project we would like to donate soap to our soldiers. Friends & family are all pitching in to help make soap for our American troops.
We made a total of 5-1/2 pounds of soap!!

The soaps will get to Haiti by Clean The World. Clean the World is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that collects used soap and shampoo from US hotels and soap makers. The much-needed soap is then donated to countries where poor sanitary conditions kill. Right now, donations are badly needed for the recent earthquake in Haiti.

CleanTheWorld.org estimates that each year 5 million lives are lost due to conditions like diarrhea-related infection. Of course, children are the ones most susceptible to these preventable diseases. A little hand washing goes a long way!

Clean the World was started by traveling business executive Shawn Seipler. He was sitting in his hotel room one night wondering what happened to all those bars of hotel soap that just get used once or twice.Together with friend Paul Till, Seipler developed a video and poster instructing hotel cleaning staff how to identify and store the gently-used soap and shampoo bottles. Once collected, the soap bars are shaved and steamed to ensure they are bacteria free. Then they are sent overseas.
 
Send your soap donations to:

Clean the World
8026 Sunport Drive, Ste 306
Orlando, FL. 32809
407-574-8353  
The soaps do not need to be labeled (ingredients, type of soap, etc), and they can be homemade, from a hotel, melt-and-pour soap, or shampoo. Please include a brief note with your contact information explaining that you've donated soap and whether you'd like a receipt for your taxes.

Glow in the Dark Soaps are here!!!

After a lot of hard work researching & testing we now offer glow-in-the-dark soap.
We use a high quality phosphorescent pigment in our products.  The glow pigment used in our soap is non-toxic, non-radioactive, & environmentally safe. Our glow pigment is made from an alkaline earth aluminate known as strontium aluminate. Strontium aluminate is vastly superior than it's predecessor, copper-activeated zink sulfide. It's glow is about 10 times brighter & lasts about 10 times longer than zink sulfide.

Our new glow products have been thoroughly tested on family & friends and all have shown no signs of skin irritation. The kids just love them.

3 glow in the dark soaps we will be offering are:
-3D Alien Head Soap
-3D UFO Soap
-Crystal Skull Soap

Below are some pictures of our Crystal Skull glow-in-the-dark soap. (I still need to work on getting a clear picture of the soaps glowing in the dark)

Bear Body Bath & Body Products

I am working on an ecrater site where I will be selling handcrafted soap, lotion, body spray, and other custom bath & body products. I will be selling custom gift baskets, and favors for all occasions. I will be posting a blog with a listing of scents available along with a description of the scents. Please be patient as the site is still "under construction". I will be changing out the temporary photo's with actual photo's of the items & constantly listing more items.
My ecrater store can be viewed at www.bearbody.ecrater.com. It will take some time & a lot of work but it is well worth the transition away from eBay & there ever increasing fees which will allow me to sell my items on ecrater at a lower price.
