Help Keep Me From Taking A Cheese Grater To My Skin

Winter skin is making me crazy! Normally I'd slather Isle of Eden lotion on it and be happy. But IOE appears to be gone, gone, gone

I am so curious....what did can't sleep, clowns will eat me smell like? That name is hilarious :)

It's like a sweet cotton candy base with candied red apple and sugar dusted funnel cake. The apple notes are really lovely. It's not quite as foodie as it sounds and the apple on me is the primary note. I can't explain notes well but this was so damn good! :)

That sounds amazing. I wish I could help you with lotions, but I just started buying them from etailers. I love Haus Of Gloi's Pumpkin Butter creams the best. I like Solstice Scents line as well and if you can get your hands on Moonalisa items they are the bomb.

I'm confused - when I go to the IOE site, everything looks normal! Is there something weird up behind the scenes?

Are you able to click around it and actually see new things? All I get is the Seal product on the main page and clicking on drop downs like "moisturizers" gets me a blank page. I thought maybe it was a cache thing but a few friends tried and got the same thing. The pages are there but blank.

... ok, that is WEIRD. Now I see what you mean! Super weird.

And clicking on the FB link at the bottom of the main page just dumps me back at my profile and not IOE's. The Twitter link goes to Twitter but the last tweet was Sept of 2010.

Cocoa Pink actually makes a similar scent called Thrill Ride which you can get without all the IoE drama, and their Voluptuous Body Butters are superthick and moisturizing. Haus of Gloi's pumpkin butters have a similar consistency though not as expansive a scent catalog. For Etsy sellers I find Savor's Crema (customizable in your choice of scent) and Sideshow Soap Co.'s butters to be really rich and moisturizing as well. Moonalisa's creams and butters are awesome if you can get them, but her next sale won't be for a while.

As for what happened to IoE, the main site doesn't work anymore because after defaulting on so many orders Alexa has been screwing with people's minds and money by opening up a bunch of different sites. You can read about the whole clusterfluff on the Lush NA forum. Some people get their orders, some people don't, some people only get them after 8 months of waiting. Not worth the risk or the headache if you ask me.

Thanks for the tip! Will go check her out again when I need more then one item since the shipping is close to the item price. She has some great scents though! :)

I LOVE all things Villainess but the scent range is pretty limited. :( Sometimes I want silly or fruity or things like Can't Sleep....

I am a fan of Simple products. I use their face moisturizer on my hands as well. I think Simple is from the UK, not sure.
