Ascending Butterfly's Annual Mother's Day Buying Guide Giveaway, brought to you by:

NOTE: Entry Deadline Extended for this giveaway due to server maintenance causing site issues, we apologize for any inconvenience!

Is your mom the hostess with the mostest? Is presentation important to her?

I have a long time love with creative packaging ,wrapping paper and presentation, which is probably why I'm so in love Mor Cosmetics. Their products are amazing, don't get me wrong, but much like a kid at Christmas, I can't wait to see the packaging! I didn't think it was possible to fall more in love with their packaging, I love all their packaging be it paper or tins, and I fell head over heels with the packaging (and the products) included in the Dear Mr. Patridge limited edition holiday gift set (see HERE for review), I don't know how they manage to keep topping themselves, but they have come up with another 'perfect gift'. Their Mother's Day Heart Shaped Gift Tins are brilliantly pacakaged as always, and contain a Soapette and Hand Cream in your choice of scent. Each of the colors represent a different scent choice.

I can't gaurantee you 'favorite' status, but I can assure you mom will love these, and YOU for being so thoughtful!

MOR Mother's Day Heart Shaped Gift Tins


These sets offer Super Luxe Love for your skin, at a price that won't break the bank! At $17, you should totally splurge and buy mom all three! For less than the cost of a dozen roses you can get mom a more longer lasting gift, that's good for her skin, whose scent will transport her, and the tin can be re-purposed!

The Sets:




Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Hand Over Heart - (White Heart) - Snow Gardenia Scented Soapette and Hand Cream - Gardenia, Juniper Berry and Angelica introduce the classical Snow Gardenia fragrance with a touch of Ylang Ylang, Vanilla and Sandalwood to finish the base accords. (While picking a Mor favorite is much like picking a favorite child, I have to admit Snow Gardenia is my favorite Mor scent!)




Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Heart of Gold - (Pink Heart) - Lychee Flowers Scented Soapette and Hand Cream - scent is produced with sparkling sweet lychee flowers united with ripe Berries, soft powdery Florals and the slightest hint of Green Forest Woods.




Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Sweet Heart - (Black Heart) - Marshmallow Scented Soapette and Hand Cream - Vanilla Musk and Jasmine Flower, Sugar dipped Rose petals with White Carnation and Cotton Candy play beautifully to create a deliciously sweet perfume!  (It's not a clawing sweet, but the florals do make the Vanilla Musk a little less heavy, this is so hard to describe for some reason! You really just have to experience it for yourself to fully understand! You won't be left smelling like candy, trust me!)

My Take

Mor definitely has done it again! The products not only are contained in a re-purposeable and beautiful gift tin, they even put a very pretty bow on it for you. Literally the only 'thinking' you have to do with this is decide on a scent (unless you of course take my advice and get all three!).

These are great to buy and tuck away for a ton of gift giving needs, in addition to mother's day, these make great birthday gifts, hostess gifts, and do you have a teacher to buy for soon? Trust me, she'll love this way more than an apple! (While I appreciate the joys of fruit, as a former Special Ed Teacher, I can tell you that your childs teacher will love this way more!).

Today's Butterfly sponsored by:



It's Like A Love Letter to your Skin!


Dear Mr. Patridge Gift Set


Let your senses feast on the delicious spices of Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cloves rounded off with Vanilla to evoke scents of the Festive Season. Feel warmed by notes of Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Patchouli. Above all celebrate the gift of giving with this limited edition offering of hand cream, soap bar and candle encased in a keepsake tin exclusively from MOR
I have always loved the mix of Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Patchouli! There are two things I always custom blend for myself, my signature lipstick color and my scent. Those two things are always a combo that I layer and blend myself to get a very specific result. They are what I'm pickiest about and what I have very strong preferences on. It is the absolute highest seal of approval I can give something in those two categories if I wear them straight out their packaging 'as-is'. I have rarely worn a lipstick color that I didn't mix with something else to get my desired color. And I have also rarely worn a scent that is not layered and combined with something else, either another perfume, or an oil. I am happy to say that with Dear Mr. Patridge, I did NOT feel the need to custom blend or layer with something else. I used the soap and it's matching hand cream (I dab a bit of the cream on my pressure points on my wrists, the front of the crook of my elbow and my neck) and honestly just LOVE it.

One of my themes for this year, is putting MYSELF first. It's something I rarely give myself permission to do, and with this set I feel like I am doing just that. And while it is a limited edition set that came out for the holidays, I don't see it as a solely 'holidays time' set. There is an evocative warmness to the scent, and because of the quality of MOR soaps you are definitely doing something wonderful for your skin. It leaves you feeling clean, warm and soft; and most importantly incredibly pampered!

My Take:

Pros:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - The packaging with this set, as with all of MOR products is simply beautiful, what better than to have your bath products actually enhance your decor? They just make your space look Pretty! It gives your bathroom Five Star Hotel and Spa elegance for an affordable price, how cool is that?

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - You will definitely want to re-purpose the gift tin!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - This set will make you look forward to bath time. It will put you in a 'me-time' mindset. Light that candle run your bath and let the scent fill your nose, you are instantly in the mood for a lovely beverage, a bath pillow and a great novel or magazine, you'll just want to stay in there and indulge! Dear Mr. Patridge has helped me really stick to my goals of putting myself first this year, of taking time to relax and unwind and honestly I can't put a price on that!

Cons

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - I'm nervous about this being a limited edition holiday set that I will fall so madly in love with it, and then will have to wait until the holidays again to re-stock! :(

MOR products never disappoint, the soap bar lasts a super long time, and the scents are usually just intoxicating. The only problem I always have with MOR is just one, working up the courage to remove the soap from it's beautiful packaging, which I try to do VERY carefully. The packaging becomes a draw sachet until the scent is done!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at MOR want you to win a Dear Mr. Patridge Gift Set too! Don't you just ♥ MOR? I know I do! (I have a feeling MOR will always be my bathtime bestie!)
