Bigss and Featherbelle

1-beauty-blog-biggsandfeatherbelle.jpgWe love, love the bright, cheery packaging at Bigss and Featherbelle. The girls graciously sent over a collection of their soaps. The fresh and witty aromas are a sensory kalideoscope in the Mini Bar, $22. We popped the top and the room exploded with a confetti of fragrances. The box contains eight mini sampler soaps from the moisturizing Goodie Bar made with cocoa butter, goat's milk and vitamin e which left our skin silky smooth (no need for lotion) to the refreshing Polar Bar made with brisk peppermint and petit grain that severed as an instant wake-up call -even if it was only 5:30 am. This box is guaranteed to brighten your morning and get your day off to a wildly adventurous start.

Biggs & Featherbelle

Started in 2003 by sisters Kasey and Kelly Evick, Biggs & Featherbelle offers an array of deliciously scented, synthetic-free bar soaps, lip balms, bath soaks, belly balm and body butter bars. Although the quirky packaging first caught my eye, it was the addictive scents, courtesy of essential oils that captivated me.

The sisters found inspiration early on by making melt and pour glycerin soaps as Christmas presents. They had so much fun creating recipes and developing packaging, the idea swiftly spun into a retail adventure. A true family affair, their mother, Pam, runs the production center while their Aunt Debbie helps out wherever needed, especially with stamping the packaging.

1-beauty-blog-biggsandfeatherbelle2.jpgOur favorites: the ten amusing soap designs, $4.49 range from the wholesome Granola Bar, a healthy scrub for all skin types which includes Oatmeal, Peanut Oil, Wheatgerm Oil and Honey to the fresh-faced Handle Bar, a clarifying soap which includes Hazelnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Neem Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Lavender and Beta Carotene. We hard a hard time choosing, but The Mini Bar, $21.99, a collection of eight half size bars that come nestled in a hand painted box satisfied all our cravings.

Biggs & Featherbelle also promotes a line of reasonably priced customized favors. Lil’ Bag, for any occasion includes a mini soap in a hand stamped kraft bag in your choice of colors, $2.99. The super-cute Mini Box, $6.99 comes stocked with a mini soap and lip balm in a hand stamped kraft box. The piece de résistance, Bigg Box, $15.99 is a stash of soap, lip balm and a massage bar. The next time you host an event (think baby shower, wedding shower, and bachlorette party) and need a little inspiration head on over to Biggs & Featherbelle.
