Jenulence – Giveaway!

by 103 Comments

Jenulence is a small, family-owned company that creates non-toxic mineral makeup that is pure, fresh and natural. I had the opportunity to sample some of Jenulence’s unique products, including two facial cleansers and a mineral makeup set. The Antioxidant Green Tea Foaming Cleanser is very gentle and does not contain synthetic detergents or emulsifiers. It left my skin feeling fresh and cleaner than it had been in quite some time. The mineral makeup was similar to others I am familiar with, but a bit finer resulting in a smoother appearance. If you’re interested in sampling some of the mineral products, Jenulence offers sample kits that are very affordable. The company also creates products for men, including Beard Shampoo and Deodorizing Antibacterial Foot Powder.

*GIVEAWAY – Closed – Congrats to the winner, Jamie Wity!: Jenulence is giving away a 5-piece Mineral Makeup Gift Set to one lucky winner. To enter, visit the Jenulence website and leave a comment on this post noting a product you would most like to try. Please leave a link to your blog or an email address so I can contact the winner. The giveaway will end at Midnight EST, Monday, January 25.

    Cheers

  8. Hey everyone! I would really enjoy having the 5-Piece Brush Set in Faux Leather Case, because I don’t have good cosmetic brushes at home, and they are so hard to find! Otherwise, I would like to try the Satin Collection Blush Sample Set. They all look amazing!

  9. Everything looks awesome! I would have to choose the sample kit, that would give me the chance to try several products. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!

  10. It IS hard to pick one, but I would love to try the shea butter eye creme or one of the correction concealers.

  12. this stuff all looks fantastic, I’m sharing with my Mother then we will be ordering together, I’m sure.
    I would really love to try some of the moisturizers, considering the time of year and the un-natural cold we have been exposed to, my skin is a lot more dry than usual.

  13. I would love to try the mineral powder and the eye cream. Well, actually, I would love to try it ALL!!!

  18. I want to try the Setting Powder and the Finishing Powder and the Mineral Makeup 5-Piece Gift Set and Mineral Makeup 7-Piece Gift Set and…….Wow! I want it all.Thanks for the chance to win. I am a fan on facebook as Carolyn Barnett.I subscribe to your emails as [email protected] and i follow you on twitter as carolynishis.

  19. I have sensitive eyes, so the eye colors with no additives, fillers, etc would be perfect for me! I love how you can apply them wet or dry for different looks. This looks fantastic – thanks for the chance to win!

  20. I must confess. I love every thing I use, so it’s very difficult to select a favorite.
    I recently purchased the Petroleum-Free Jelly. It is fantastic. It smooths and softens the skin, and puts shine and body into the hair without allegens. What more could you want. I took it to my hairdresser
    who loved it’s setting qualities. And thank you, Jenulence for suggesting the Wild Orchid blush. Gorgeous and natural looking. I’d love more and eye makeup to compliment.

  22. Hi. I’m looking for a great concealer – the dark circles under my eyes make me look like I’m at death’s door (I’m very fair skinned). I love that you carry the little sifter jars! They’re so hard to find and the little town I live in has virtually no resources … for anything.*sigh* Thank you for a chance to try your products.

  23. I would love to try everything you make, but for this comment, I will limit myself to the Pearl Concealer. My face has blotches of red and I haven’t been able to do anything about it without putting on concealer with a putty knife! I would so like to find something lighter and easier and better for my face.

  25. Would love to try the Jenulence mineral foundation Concealer. It sounds like the ideal product for a busy mum!

  26. I currently use Jenulence’s mineral make-up and love the product. I would love to have an opportunity to try the pink clay mask for “maturing skin.” Need all the help I can get!

  28. I would have to say I would love to try the sample kit at first to test it on my sensitive skin. Thank you for the great contest and a chance to win great beauty products!

  32. I must agree with others..it is so hard to choose, everything looks fabulous. I am really interested in the Silver Sparkle Body Shimmer Powder. It sounds like it would add some glamour. I like that. 😉
    Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!

  33. I’ve tried the Satin Blush Collection (sample kit) and loved it, most blush colors that were to dark for me are currently my daily eye-shadows and all work great as multitasking products.
    I’d love to try the under eye concealer for dark circles, since I’m still searching for the perfect color of under eye concealer.

  34. I would like to try the Rejuvenating Aloe Vera & Neroli Toner for Dry, Mature and Sensitive Skin

  35. Hello!! I adore all of your products 🙂 I’d love to try the 7 piece Makeup gift set (for dark skin), mainly because I’ve never been able to get full sizes of ANY makeup before (unless on clearance because of budgeting), and I’d like to *do* more with my makeup instead of powder & some lipstick 🙂

    Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!!

  36. I’d love to try the Flower Essence Facial Cleanser or the Antioxidant Green Tea Foaming Cleanser. I want to find a really good facial cleanser! thanks for the entry 🙂

  37. So many things I’d love to treat myself to! I’d most like to try the Soothing Oil for Acne Rosacea Skin. Sounds like it would heal my skin that is exposed to too many harsh elements at work (dirty, dusty construction sites).

  38. Too hard to decide for sure. I would say the sample kit, the mineral foundation, or the the Vanilla Orange DMAE Lip Balm. Thanks for the chance to win.

  39. I would love to try the mineral make up. Course the facial cleansers sound really yummy too!

  41. I think the under eye concealer is what I probably need, but the gold body shimmer is what I want! What a great product line.

  42. I’d love to try the mineral makeup (base/foundation) since I’ve tried two other mineral makeups and have loved them. It would be nice to try something from a family owned business instead of a big corporation.

  47. Yerba Maté Seabuckthorn Nourishing Cream
    Milk Shake Concealer, Sea Shell Mineral Foundation Concealer,
    Light Olive Mineral Foundation Concealer,
    Antiwrinkle Aromatherapy Serum for Mature Skin,
    Rejuvenating Aloe Vera & Neroli Toner for Dry, Mature and Sensitive Skin
    These are the products I’d love to try. Thanks for the chance for thei giveaway…

  49. There’s nothing more I love than a good, organic extract for the skin. My choice would be the Organic Unrefined Camellia Seed Oil–I have always had good skin thanks to my mom, but it has trouble struggling through the brutal New York winters. Moisture, protection, and 100% natural goodness is right up my alley!

The Stuff No One Tells You About Running A Soap Business

Hey there, fellow soapers. If you’ve ever found yourself raising your hand because you’re neck-deep in questions and on a wild journey, this one’s for you!  Yep, been there, done that – and guess what? You’re not alone. Let’s dive into a candid chat about the twists, turns, and bubbles of running a handmade soap business. And trust me, it’s a tale worth sharing. Before we get started here are some resources for anyone who is just starting out.

Choosing A Name For Your Soap Business

Thinking of starting a soap making business?

10 Things You Need To Know Before Starting A Soap Making Business

Soap Making Business  Organizing Your Soap Lab

Been There, Done That: My Soapy Odyssey

Picture this: Over three decades of toiling away for others, navigating the stress-filled, hustle-bustle of a demanding job. Sound familiar? Well, let me tell you – I’ve been right there with you. And here’s the kicker – somehow, amidst all that chaos, I found myself evolving into a soap-making dynamo, crafting a business out of it. But let me set the record straight – this wasn’t my childhood dream, and creativity wasn’t exactly my middle name.

Confession time: I wasn’t the artsy, crafty kid. Nope, not me. I wasn’t painting masterpieces, stitching up wonders, or churning out mouthwatering cakes. Nope, I was more of a toy car than a doll kind of person. I was all about the great outdoors, spending hours in the garden, inspecting bugs, and unearthing slow worms from the compost heap. My teenage years? Welly boots and adventures with ponies and pups.

From Unlikely Beginnings to Uncharted Territories

Fast forward a bit, and here I am, a soap-making entrepreneur. How did I get here? Well, life has a funny way of evolving, doesn’t it? I stumbled upon my creative side later in life, just like so many of us do. And being the stubborn mule I am, I decided to make it work in my favor. Plus, let’s be real – the thought of escaping the grind of a 9-to-5 job was a pretty strong motivator.

But let’s get real – the journey behind the scenes has been a rollercoaster. Expectations? Oh boy, they had their own agenda. The reality? Well, that’s where things got interesting. So, let’s embark on a whistle-stop tour of what I thought it would be versus what it turned out to be. Trust me, the grand finale is worth the ride!

Great Expectations vs. Bittersweet Reality

Expectation: Running a soap business is a cakewalk compared to my day job. Reality: Soap business – challenging, multi-faceted, and definitely not your 9-to-5 gig. Sometimes reactive, not proactive, and often heading in unexpected directions.

Expectation: I can bid adieu to my day job and rock the soap-making business. Reality: Figuring out how to make your soap venture big enough to leave the day job? It’s like solving one of those crazy impossible puzzles! 

Expectation: No more being tied to a desk – freedom at last! Reality: Newsflash – I’m still spending 75% of my time shackled to the desk. From social media to emails, blogs to stock control – it’s a desk-bound marathon.

Expectation: Fun, creative soap-making whenever the mood strikes. Reality: Practicing new recipes and creating products? Yeah, not as easy as it sounds. Time constraints? Oh, they’re real.

Expectation: Freedom to work flexibly on my terms. Reality: Without a somewhat structured work week, things unravel fast, and the ball starts dropping left and right.

Expectation: Craft shows – the highlight of my soap business journey! Reality: Craft shows = long days, sometimes not worth the effort, and feeling like you missed out on Christmas shopping. Plus, no breaks!

Expectation: Blissfully basking in the aroma of soap-making. Reality: Scent overload can lead to headaches. Not as fragrant as you might imagine!

Expectation: Turning my hobby into a business will be a breeze. Reality: Yes, you can turn your hobby into a business, but be prepared to put in the elbow grease!

The Highs and Lows, Oh My!

Now, onto the nitty-gritty. The not-so-glamorous bits that you might not hear about often:

The Toughest Bits:

  1. The Greasy Clean-Up: Soap-making leaves its mark everywhere – from your utensils to the microwave, it’s like a greasy treasure hunt.
  2. Never Truly Switching Off: Soap is always lurking in the shadows of your thoughts. Forget switching off – it’s always there, scheming its sudsy plans.
  3. Physically Intense Days: Soap-making is no joke – it’s physically demanding, involving hours on your feet, lugging ingredients, and a whole lot of elbow grease.

The Brightest Bits:

  1. Customer Love: Nothing beats the heartwarming feedback from customers. Their happiness is the ultimate reward.
  2. Happy Dance for Sales: Cha-ching! That little dance you do when you make a sale – pure bliss.
  3. Unmatched Satisfaction: The glory of doing it all by yourself – a sense of accomplishment like no other.
  4. The Sweet Scent of Independence: Freedom from following orders – making all the decisions your way.
  5. Flexible Lifestyle: Working when and where you want. Hello, midday garden breaks!
  6. Proudly Peculiar: Yes, I might smell of soap, but it’s a badge of honor!

In the End, It’s a Soapy Triumph

So, what’s the bottom line? Running a soap business is hard work – especially in the early days. But guess what? It’s worth every ounce of effort. I’m head over heels for my businesses. The customers, the stockists, the teaching – I adore every part of it. And here’s the kicker – even when I’m away for a few days, I’m itching to get back to the next challenge.

Feeling inspired? Ready to take your soap-making game up a notch? But wait, you might be wondering where to start, especially with all those UK regulations swirling around. Well, that’s where The Soap Business Boot Camp comes in. If you’re intrigued, check out the options right HERE.

So, there you have it – the behind-the-scenes soap scoop on my journey. A journey that’s been packed with highs, lows, sudsy messes, and a whole lot of heart. Here’s to embracing the chaos, celebrating the wins, and carving a path that’s uniquely yours!
