If you are like me, you are starting to run low on all those indie goodies you got from Christmas/Winter makers markets and gifts. Good news is that there is a Craftadian Show in Hamilton this Saturday. The 2017 Craftadian Spring Market is being held in McMaster Innovation Park. Tickets are just $5 and the first 50 families will get a swag bag. I have reviews of some of the beauty product makers to help you plan your trip.
Joy & Polish Spring Collection at Craftadian
Nail polish first (obviously). The spring collection from Joy & Polish launched a couple of weeks ago and you can save yourself the shipping plus find some of Stephanie’s market items that don’t make it to her online store at Craftadian. The spring collection includes five gorgeous pearlescent finishes in pink, orange, blue, and two greens. Greenery is the colour of the year.
See swatches and reviews of the new shades here:
It’s Only Natural Bath, Body & Skincare at Craftadian
It’s Only Natural is a new brand to me. They are based out of Fergus, ON and use natural ingredients in their many products. My faves include the Wakey, Wakey Shower Steamers and I’m Not Sick Bath Salts. She also makes felted soaps and wool dryer balls that I am looking forward to trying out at Craftadian. See my review of six of her products here.
HollyBerry’s Mineral Makeup & Body Care at Craftadian
I have talked about HollyBerry before as I love her Milk Chocolate body lotion. She recently launched her new line of mineral makeup and will be selling it at Craftadian. These are super pigmented eyeshadows as well as natural face products. Check out her makeup line here and bodycare here.
HollyBerry’s owner will be checking out Bailiwick Studios to pick up new pieces to display at home as well as grabbing a bottle of Joy & Polish Get In Lime!
Ellingwood Soap Company at Craftadian
Ellingwood Soap Company started when they needed to find bath products for their daughter who has bad eczema. They later started selling it and would not sell anything that can’t be used on their little one. For those of you with sensitive skin, it is a must! I highly recommend the sugar scrubs which are mixed with some of their moisturizer rather than just oil so you don’t get the separation of ingredients. See what I thought of the line here.
Anna from Ellingwood is excited to find some new jewellery from Vintage Acorn while Michael will be heading to Vilk’s Ceramics.
Small Batch Soaps at Craftadian
Last, but not least, Small Batch Soaps. A Burlington company selling handmade soaps will be at Craftadian this weekend. I am hoping she has unicorn soaps in stock, because who doesn’t love unicorns? I reviewed three of her soaps here. Rainbow Splatter for the young at heart, Triple Shot with exfoliating coffee and Oatmeal, Milk & Honey for those who want something still beautiful but moisturizing & adult-ish.
Small Batch Soap’s maker recommendation: Attack! Collective’s Marine Collection
Also on my list to check out are Sheena’s Scottish Shortbread (as long as I don’t mention it to the rest of my Irish family) and Kayla Marie Ceramics, because I can’t resist more mugs for tea reviews!
