The Beauty Festival is here and we’ve got loads of fun stuff for you this week!
Inspired by International Women’s Day, which is marked on March 8th every year; The Beauty Festival celebrates our strength, creativity and natural beauty.
This year’s theme is about creativity. Because it takes a woman to build entire industries like crafting, handmade soaps and originally made jewelry without the support of big business and government.
A special shout-out to the wonderful companies who have come on board to help us make The Beauty Festival. We could not have made The Beauty Festival without them. I’m sure you too will soon become a fan of their skincare products as much as we are!
We look forward to having more companies join us next year and for the first time, I do believe we made a great start. Please note that all specials, discounts and giveaways are a limited time offer from March 1st to March 8th and exclusive to The Beauty Festival. Do not miss out.
Let’s the festival begin!

Thank you Angie!

I've never heard of this event, thanks for sharing with us. I am interested in the Glacial Clay, I have been looking for a product like that. Do you know if it has detoxification qualities? Thanks for sharing this information with us and Happy International Women's Day (never heard of this day at all, but now I know!)
Your page looks very calming and inviting! Thanks for the giveaway.

Makes me want to dim the lights, turn on some soft, soothing music, run a nice bubble bath and relax! 😉
Great products you're sharing there – what a generous giveaway! Thanks!
I can feel the stress just melting away as I read this!

What a great idea – celebrating International Women's Day by supporting women's entrepreneurship.
A great woman-owned business that gives back to the world is Safi Coffee: http://www.saficoffee.com/saficoffee_shop.html
(I'm in no way affiliated with Safi Coffee; I just think it's cool.)
I wrote an International Women's Day post that's a collection of cool quotations by women:

Good for you for organizing and promoting this event! I learned about some neat products I never knew about before.
Oh I would have loved to get my hands on this – lavender is my favorite, but I live in India 🙂
Great event though!
Sounds like good products. Thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds like some fun sales. The Lavender Lime Body Lotion sounds really fun.
What a awesome event and I Love supporting these businesses and if they would like to get even more exposure I would be happy to interview them all on my blog as well as I Love to share businesses like this with my readers.
This is an awesome event, I love checking out handmade bath and body products, or those made by smaller companies.
i love supporting female business owners!! kudos to you!
Thanks for sharing these products and giveaways with us, and I am another that has never heard of International Women's Day. It is so great the options we have available to us today as modern women, we should all be thankful for what the brave women in the past did to break through the barriers imposed on us.
Thanks for sharing such original products and a wonderful event. Great way to celebrate women's history month!
I love lavender! Great products, great idea, great event!
Creating is such an important part of being human. I love any chance to support creative entrepreneurship.
I love that you have a sensitive skin option! My daughter cannot handle many soaps!

Women's Day – really? I forgot all about it, thanks for reminding…
Sounds like a great event!
Great looking products. I especially like the lavender. I used to have tons of lavender in my yard but haven't planted any since we moved. I love the smell!
Those look like they would be great for a spa day.
The lotion with Lavender and Lime sound like it would just be luscious on your skin. The Mooka soaps look just lovely. The scents sound heavenly almost good enough to eat. The ingredients on them sound like the same that I have used in the homemade soaps I have made in the past. What a wonderful giveaway.
I love to learn about new beauty products that I can use to pamper myself! The Beauty Festival is a great way to celebrate women, and it's timing is perfect with International Women's Day. Thanks for sharing!
The past couple of years I have discovered the joy of handmade products from some great small companies. I am excited to be able to add some of these to my favorites list.
Hello Kerry, Kecia, Shelly, Clarinda, Millie, Eleni and Life just saying,
Thanks so much for stopping by. We love to hear from all of you!

I am amazed at the talents of others. Making soap from butter and oils is amazing to me. Wishing you success with your event.

The Beauty Festival sounds like a great event. It is true that it is hard to start out and succeed when you don't have the backing of a large business to do so.
The soaps from Mooka sound unique. I've never had soap smell like that, though I think it would be great. I would love to try them.
What a great idea! All the soaps look awesome!
The products sound heavenly! You are so awesome for putting this together!
Great event and the products look amazing! I love the name Mooka… I've never heard of that soap, but it sure sounds cool! Would love to try it!
How did I miss Int'l Woman's Day? I love natural products, feel better about using them! Women rock!
Great event – helping women small business owners is a top priority!
Good luck at your festival! I loved doing big events when I still created my own products!
The Beauty Festival is such a great event idea. Thanks for sharing. I just read today was Women's Day. How cool! I am heading to those links. I love supporting great natural products, especially when created by a woman.
Happy International Woman's Day! These products sound wonderful, every woman deserves a little (ok, a lot) pampering!
Hey,
I found your festival from Facebook! These companies sound wonderful, I will certainly try their products during this year, I'm especially interested in the Glacial Clay.
I would love to win your soaps!!
Thanks for doing something wonderful in support of women.
