About Me

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. I'm a middle aged beauty(yeah right) that loves nail polish along with makeup and skincare. I don't know how much I'll be able to teach but I just want to have fun with this and hope you all do enjoy or at least get a laugh from it. To let you know where I got the name from: I just became a grandmother for the first time on September 13, 2011 and had made it a fact that I would not be granny or grandma. I am gonna be a Mimi, hence the name.

Review of Pittsburgh Street Soapworks

I thought I'd switch it up a bit instead of a nail polish post with some products and info about an indie shop called Pittsburgh Street Soapworks. It is owned by a lady named Paulette who is super sweet to deal with. I had purchased several times in recent years then had gone awhile without and decided to do another order.


What you see here are called "misters" or samples of some of the various scents Paulette has on her site. Its a great way of testing out scents to know if you're going to like them or not. These are small but they are several uses which give you a chance to test them for a few days. She has dupes of a lot of the famous scents and the ones I have tried have been spot on. Some even had more staying power and  lasted longer on me than the real thing.
You can order two sets of 6 of these at a time without an additional order of something else. They are $6.50 per set without an additional purchase or $4.50 with an additional purchase. I love to try these out first to see what's new then go back and order a full size cologne, perfume or body spray.
She also has soaps, scrubs, lotion, diffuser oils, haircare, etc. You get the picture, she is a shop with many fragrance items to choose from and they are all made by her. You get the personal touch and she has great TAT(turn around time).
So, if you're looking for a new place to shop for bath, hair, and body fragrance products then please go visit her store here, look around and I'm sure you'll find a scent that you've been wanting to try and you can then get it in a lotion, scrub or room spray or whatever you want.
I have not been compensated for this review and I purchased these products with my own money. I just believe this is a great place to shop for custom scented products.

    1. Hi Kim, I haven't tried the Bobbi Brown Beach scent itself but I really like this. Its definitely a summery tanning lotion beach scent. I like to get these misters and that way if I don't like the scent then I won't be purchasing the full size. Paulette is usually spot on with the dupe fragrances so I would try it if I were you.

  2. Beach is my current PSW scent and I love it. Be aware it smells like Coppertone-esque tanning lotion so it's a true "Beach" scent rather than a coconut/tropical scent.
