Etailer items

So what are etailers?

Etailer are mom and pop type of companies, that do not have actual stores (usually) and just online stores.

Everything is made after the customer places the order, usually handmade from scratch. Therefore, everything is fresh and made just for you. Etailer also have dozens, sometimes hundreds of scents, including "dupes" (interpretations of more popular scents, such as American Cream by LUSH, Flowerbomb, Aquolina's Pink Sugar....and so on). 

Etailers will also usually make your own custom scent - American cream mixed with Pink Sugar for example. 

They are a great alternative to retail, such as Bath and Body Works, or The Body Shop.

The drawback to etailers is that you can't smell or try things before you order them, you also have to wait for the goodies to come, since they are shipped. Also there are some shady etailers, who do not respond when you email them, take your money and never send you your products, or send you products way later than they said they will.

There are etailers for Make-up (fyrinnae, alima, meow cosmetics) and there's lots and lots of bath and body etailer (Luna Bleu, Grumpy Girl, Isle of Eden, Pink Bath Bow Boutique, Cleanse your soul, JoJoelle,  - and these are just some of which I tired, there are thousands more).

So all of February and some of January I worked on using up my Pink Flower Scents (PFS) stash and I used them all up - I had many perfume sample sprays so they went by fast...I will also do a review and post pics of my PFS stuff soon.

This month, I am focusing on my Grunpy Girl (GG) stuff:
I have a soap bar, scrub, whipped soap, a spray, massage bar sample and 2 perfumes.

I really like GG, they have cute names for their products (at least I think so) and I like their labels, and the font they use on their labels.
Their customer service is also good, they respond quickly and ship their orders fairly quick too. I will definitely order from them again, especially if they have a sale.

They also have some LUSH dupes, such as the Rockstar scent.

Today I used my Buttercreme Sugar scrub in Hollywood Sex Kitten and I loved it.
Very, very scrubby, more so than LB or Sugarcandie scrubs, but left my skin soo so soft and silky.
I wish the tub was bigger, it says it weighs 8.5oz, but I feel like I am going to go through it like crazy.

In terms of the scent - this is how GG described it:

Sultry notes of white flowers, soft sensual musk and powdery violets make this a must have. (A LUSHious Duplication. Scent is light and delicate by nature due to the scent formulation.)

I smell a little bit of musk and a tiny bit of flowers, nothing too strong.
I am not sure what scent this is from LUSH, but it is ok, I might repurchase or not...kinda on the fence about it, but I'll see about I try it a couple more times.

So that's it for now, stay tuned for my other GG products. I will also try to do pics and a full review.

I'm trying to use up my etailer stash - so hopefully every month I can move on to another etailer from my stash.
