I recently had the privilege of trying several of Candy's wonderful products this past week. I wanted to try all four before I reviewed.
First off, my order arrived very promptly! And while I only ordered two products, I received two as extras!
I ordered the "No More Stinky Toes" foot treatment and her body butter in Pink Sugar. I can't tell you how EXACT her match to Pink Sugar is. There is virtually no difference between Candessence Pink Sugar type and my EDT from Aquolina. She also sent a solid perfume in Pink Sugar and some of her "Need a Hand" foot and hand scrub.
Boy oh boy was it a treat! I absolutely adore the "No More Stinky Toes." I roller skate at least three times a week and my feet pay the price for it. I have been using this at night, especially after a shower or bath, and then I put socks on my feet. It's become part of my nighttime ritual.
In the morning my feet feel wonderful! It is very refreshing to your tootsies! The ingredients include Aloe butter, baking soda, peppermint and tea tree oils...it's great! I'm going to start putting it on in the morning once the weather cools down enough down here in Arizona to where I can start wearing shoes and socks again (sandal weather is almost year round down here) and I'm also going to start applying it before I skate. Hopefully it will make my skates smell better too...whew!!!
This is definately going to be a reorder for me!
The "Need A Hand" scrub is is a sugar based scrub that smells so yummy!!! It's such a treat to use this on my feet then put on the "Stinky Toes." My feet are so happy the next day. Also it's wondering for your hands, and then apply hand lotion. My hands felt so great and looked so good after using this I went to go get my nails done 
I use both the Body Butter and Solid Perfume in Pink Sugar in layering with my Aquolina EDT. Both soak in wonderfully and are extra luxurious. The body butter has Shea butter, jojoba oil, mango butter and Vitamin E and is deeply moisturizing. The solid perfume is great to throw in your handbag for application throughout the day. It contains great ingredients and is a no-fuss, no-mess fragrance application and a great "pick me up" when you hit your midday slump! I put it on the other day between classes and when I sat down at my seat my neighbor told me how yummy I smelled (thanks to the Pink Sugar!)
Candessence version of Pink Sugar is DEAD ON compared to my EDT. I plan on ordering her body polish, Encore hand lotion, and body spray all in Pink Sugar (yes yes, I do love it so!  )
FABULOUS!!!

Thanks for your input. |

| My parcel came last week - it smells so gorgeous! I bought all new products that I haven't tried before so expect some reviews coming up in a week or so. Right now I'm too sick so I'm just busy with feeling sorry for myself (and trying to stay on top of work) - not fun! |

| petesunny, let me know how you like the chocolate scent. I've been afraid to try it, thinking it will make me crave the real stuff. Let us know how hubby likes it too! |

What exactly does Pink Sugar smell like??? I have been out of the loop as of late. Think it's time to pamper myself.  |

It varies! Some folks smell more "cotton candy" others smell more vanilla or carmel-ly.
I've been wearing it religiously since I got it, and one girl asked "who smells like candy?" another asked "who smells like vanilla?" and "oooh someone smells like sugar cookies!"
The only thing that everyone has said the same is "that smells wonderful!"
One great way to try the fragrance is to get the Candessence solid perfume or spray....since her products are so affordable and wonderfully made, if you don't end up liking it (some don't at all, if you look at MUA...I hate sweet smells but I love this!) you can always give it to a friend and you won't be out a lot of money.
I'm in love and have already placed my second order from Candessence for three products (hand lotion, body spray and body polish) in Pink Sugar. |

After reading your rave reviews, I have placed an order today. I ordered 3 hand lotions, one body butter, one brown sugar scrub, one exfoliating butter and one hand and foot scrub. Since I have to pay the international shipping surcharge anyway, I thought I might as well order a bit more - I can always use them as Christmas pressies.
I hope they spoil  |

Candy, you are the sh*t!
I ordered my stuff Sunday and it came yesterday. I got the body butter with and it's different than anything else I've used before. It has the consistency of whipped butter (hence the name, huh?) and it absorbs really well. I put it on before I went to sleep, and I usually put lotion on when I wake up because my legs are dry, but they were still good this morning. I'm glad this stuff works for me because there's no methyl-ethyl yada yada in the ingredients.
The other thing I got was the Pink Sugar solid perfume based on Paris' rave and trying it at Sephora. It comes in one of those sample size deodorants so it'll last a long time and it's easy to carry around. I think it definitely smells like cotton candy and I love it.
Great stuff! |

Well talk about service, I ordered very late tuesday nite, and wow package on door today, with a few extra goodies inside too boot!!! I ordered a dmae serum, have used once (ran to bathroom and applied) it sank right in, skin feels great, too soon to tell results tho, but I will def update. So Ms Candy, thank you, thank you, its been a pleasure and I am sure I'll be back for more !!!
Oh and Candy was kind enough to make something not even listed on her site, I inquired and she went right to work, can't get any better service than that!!!
