{ Miso Pretty Beauty Products by BlueQ }

What will immediately strike you about this line is its exquisite packaging. The tongue-in-cheek Miso Pretty moniker is reflected in the elaborate faux-Asian box art, depicting apple-cheeked Chinese cuties in short-hemmed satin kimonos cavorting with all manner of friendly and adorable forest creatures, or cherubic pixies swimming blissfully through crystal waters. There's something very Victorian and elegant about the product's look and design, resulting in a visual experience that is both nostalgic and brand new all at once. Not to be outshined by their delightful exteriors, the products within the packages deliver on every level of quality. Unique scents combine with exceptional ingredients to produce a high-end product unlike anything you've ever tried. I test-drove the body spray on my wife, with it's hints of cut-grass and peony; she declared it not only a wonderful moisturizer but wonderfully arousing as well. The cherry-flavored lip-balm made for a yummy make-out session, though gentlemen be warned- it does leave a hint of red blush upon the skin it touches. That's no problem when you have a bar of persimmon and wild orchid soap to wash up with. The scent of the rich lather alone will continue to fuel romantic notions and you can smooth it all out with a wild dune grass and thyme-scented body wash scrub. This, of course, is all leading up to a post-shower rub-down with the intoxicating hand and body cream. You'll feel and smell so good that what happens next will come naturally. I reccomend the Miso Pretty Mini Kit as a way of sampling most of the products mentioned above. Once you're sold on their quality, pick up some full-sized tubes and bottles along with the newly added plum-flavored lip gloss. For those of you who have been chronically underestimating the effect of quality bath and beauty products on your life, here's your chance to treat yourself right. Relax and enjoy.
