This will be a review on several products I recently purchased from Caramocal Joy. I hope this is of use to you all. 
I will also put this up on my blog sometime next week.
I heard about Caramocal Joy just this week through a post in the vendor forum made by growhawkglitter (thread here. She and creolesugarface had nothing but good things to say about them, so I decided to check out the site (Caramocal Joy).
First, prices are very good. I don't think anything on there is more than $10-15. The site offers 2 oz, 4oz, and 8oz sizes, at appropriate prices. I really liked the size options because I have a TWA and don't want to commit to larger sized items, and I could save some money. Also, with the Christmas sale, you get free shipping over $20. Great! If I didn't like the products, I could always give them away and I wouldn't be out much. I joked with Charzboss that since the company is in MD, I could just deliver an a$$ whooping if need be.
I ordered the gentle butter, tough butter, thickums castor cream, shea-co smoothing custard, and vitamin e pudding. So I got a good number of products for $21.50.
I later read a thread by creolesugarface and she wrote that her items came scented (thread here). Only two of the products I chose came with scent options, so I emailed the address provided on my receipt. I emailed at night, and had a response waiting for me in the morning, so it was very prompt. A good sign.
She (I'm assuming a woman runs this business) copied my order into the email along with a little list of the items that can come with scents. She told me the Vit E Pudding and Shea-Co Custard default to a "light, fruity scent," but the castor cream and gentle butter came with scent options not listed. So, here's my end order:
Shea Co-Custard -- 4 oz -- no scent option
Vitamin E Pudding -- 4 oz -- no scent option
Tough Butter -- 2 oz -- Chocolate
Gentle Butter -- 2 oz -- Birthday Cake
Thickums Castor Creme -- 2 oz -- Vanilla Buttercream
Thickums Castor Creme -- 2 oz -- unscented
I ordered through her site on the 18th (Wednesday), she emailed me about the scents on the 19th (Thursday) and I got my products today (Saturday). Now, this is great, but in all fairness, she lives about 15-20 minutes away from me.
No comment on the packaging. Not that it was bad (a large, flat rate box), but definitely could've fit my items into one of the smaller square boxes. I don't mind, I just think the small square boxes are cuter.
Anyway, as soon as I opened the box, I could smell the scents wafting out. The 2 oz items came in small, plastic, disposable containers; like the kinds you could put dipping sauce in. The generous 4 oz items came in a dark brown container with a screw top.
She has announced on her site that Caramocal Joy is "going green," and if you mail your containers back in, you will get a credit of 20% of your previous order to use next time. I thought that is a really cool idea. Anyway, onto the actual products...
