I promised you guys a MoonaLisa Halloween Giveaway here when I first shared the amazing talents of this wonderful artist.
There is a tradition in the MoonaLisa fanbase community of “mooing it forward” which basically means that you try to share slices of soap, decants of lotions, perfumes when you can so that others may get to experience these fabulously scented products, sharing in this way is rumored to confer magical benefits on the giver as well!. I figured what day would be better to moo it forward to my readers than the day before Samhain which is a very special time for this great artist.You can check out her blog here MoonaLisa More about the Halloween giveaway after the jump!

MoonaLisa uses the melt and pour method for making her soaps . Yes, soaps made using the cold process method can be very nice but cold process is brutal on scents often resulting in bars that look pretty & lather well but that have little to no fragrance. Soaps without scent aren’t part of finer living around these parts 
Moona’s soaps are richly scented, they lather like a dream & cleanse the skin without leaving you stripped of moisture . If a soap leaves you with that “squeaky clean” feeling chances are good it’s robbing you of the moisture skin needs to stay hydrated,dewy and youthful looking.
Venetian Coffee Swirl Scent Description
Scent description provided by MoonaLisa
Made with real coffee butter and grinds , layered deliciously with goats milk and coffee and chocolate oils.
Review
This soap smells so amazingly like a rich,robust cup of coffee that I felt like I’d been transported from my shower into a Soho coffeehouse, I followed up with the matching body butter, the scent was rich,deep & lasted all day, I got a lot of positive comments!

My favourite Halloween tradition is hoarding candy, giving as much as I can out to the whole 8 trick or treaters I have gotten (8 this year…none last year), then I cry a little because we hardly got any trick or treaters. Halloween is my fav holiday! I then throw some candy in sadness, then pick up the candy, take it to my room, and eat it LOL
My fav Samhain tradition, which I have just done, it to light a Sahmain candle, blessing it and welcoming the spirits in. It will sit burning in my windowsill all night as a beacon to the spirits. I also make something sweet just for them to further entice them into my home, and to stop and rest a while.
I subscribed and am following you on Twitter. My fave Halloween ritual is to do a special tarot spread.
We are mostly doing a lot of trick or treating since Nathan and Marin are at the age to become human candy grubbers!
I am subscribing and following you on twitter. My favorite Halloween ritual is watching horror movies and eating anything pumpkin flavored!
I subscribed via e-mail.
My favorite Halloween rituals include: Scary movie marathons, blood orange martinis, and pumpkin spice lattes & pumpkin scones from Starbucks in the morning. :)
subscribed via email!! My fave Halloween ritual: handing out candy to the little cuties!! I love the little kids in costume!! Over age 12 or so…I let DH do it!!
My fav Halloween tradition is sneeking chocolate out of my kids candy when they go to bed! Hehe!
Oh, I subscribed via email and tweeter!
Subscriber. Favorite ritual is pumpkin patch and carving or painting pumpkins
My favorite Halloween ritual is dressing up and doing my make-up, burning a fall type of scent around the house, and wait for the kids to come by for treats. I tend to sit on my porch and have my black cat with me. She tends to get the biggest ooohs and ahhhhs. She is of course a queen (Cleopatra). After the kids are done – I go inside and watch some great campy horror flicks. Tonight I am sure I will be catching The Walking Dead because it looks like my type of show.
