Pros: Quality products, good variety of unique scents, soap cut is very generous, good packaging &#038; labeling
Cons: Body butters and body polish have a waxy consistency

I randomly came across You Stink Soap on Etsy last year and instantly loved the name.  Fortunately, the company appears to be vegan centered so I only needed a reason to place an order.  
That reason came after Thanksgiving in the form of a 15% off sale. The final total for the order was under $20 USD, not including the hefty shipping charges ...]]></description>

Pros: Well crafted products, professional packaging, great communication
Cons: Café &#038; Shea Nourishing Facial Butter is suitable only for a select minority of consumers, it’s not readily apparent what the differences are between the serums

After I made my first order with DressGreen, I noticed the large line of facial products.  I’m always on the lookout for skin care  because I have extremely dry skin and it’s difficult to find products that are hydrating enough, especially during the long Iowa winters.  I vowed to purchase a moisturizer after my ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pros: Unique soap varieties, moisturizing soap formula, quality fragrance oils, professional and minimalist packaging, great customer service, clearly labeled packaging, fast processing and shipping
Cons: Not much

I randomly stumbled across DressGreen on Etsy this past month.  I was attracted to the clean look and well crafted products.  DressGreen mostly focuses cold processed soaps and facial/body care items.  
I ordered a discounted soap trio, a shaving soap bar and a perfume oil.
After ordering, I received a prompt follow up notice through Etsy and my items were shipped shortly thereafter. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Pros: Wonderful lip balm base, great lip tint shades, products well packaged and clearly labeled
Cons: Perfume oil is very strong, lip tints could have stronger colour payoff

This is my second purchase from Epically Epic Soap Co., an independent company found on Etsy.  My first review on Epically Epic can be found here.  
I took advantage of a 10% discount code in July and ordered a lip balm trio and another roll on perfume oil.

Cons: Some labels difficult to read and easily damaged, one lip tint not accurately portrayed by website images, items are on the pricier side for Etsy cosmetics

I&#8217;ve had my eye on Ophelia&#8217;s Apothecary on Etsy for some time, particularly the lip tints.
I took advantage of their Christmas in July 20% off promotion, purchasing two lip tints, a Soap on the Go and a set ...]]></description>

Pros: Quality packaging, good value, eyeshadow shades good for those with medium skintones
Cons: Too much fallout, some colours not true to life, not the most versatile colour selections, Loose Pigment Eye Shimmers are messy with a much too too small brush

Urban Decay recently blessed us with a Friends &#038; Family sale in the beginning of July.  Everything on the website, excluding the much sought after Naked Palette, was 25% off.  I had believed it to be an exclusive sale for those on the mailing list, but later ...]]></description>

Cons: Sizes run at least 1/2 size large, Heels and platform are very high, Overwhelming gold shift in bronze fabric not noticeable in online images, pricey for budget shoppers

My husband works at the Cedar Rapids Nordstrom call center, so I&#8217;ve been keeping up more on fashion trends. One day I was surfing around the Nordstrom website and stumbled on a truly awesome shoe, the BP. &#8216;Kenna&#8217; Sandal in Blush.  Since it was leather, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ e.l.f.&#8217;s current promotion is ten free Mineral Eyeshadows with any $25 USD purchase.  Normally, the shadows retail for $3 USD each.  I think this promo is becoming an annual event for e.l.f. (^o^)
Use code MINTEN during checkout by May 23, 2011.

This is a very good promotion and I highly recommend the e.l.f. Minerals eyeshadow line.  If you do decide to take advantage of the promotion, I suggest you make an order early.  Most of the shadows were out of stock when I did it last ...]]></description>

Pros: Smells good, works great, jar contains a lot of product, includes many certified organic ingredients
Cons: More expensive than your average grocery store brand, scent combination is a little strange

I picked this up at my local Hy-Vee&#8211;a chain of Midwest grocery stores based in Iowa&#8211;mostly as an impulse buy.  Some readers may remember that Hy-Vee carries a small collection of e.l.f. products.  I really like scrubs, even if they tend to dry and irritate my skin.
Packaging:
I&#8217;d say the $8 USD price tag is fair given that this is ...]]></description>

Pros: Lip balms have great consistency, lip tints have good assortment of shades, Many Purpose Solid Lotions is very moisturizing, wide array of scents and flavours for all products, varied selection of vegan products
Cons: Lip tints could have a wee bit more colour payoff, roll on perfume could be less potent

No soap today.  Just tons of lip products and solid lotions.
