I agree with you on IoE. The TAT is excessive and things retire left and right, but their scrubs are just divine, in my experience. I also get discount codes fairly regularly in my e-mail, which is nice. Once I settled in my mind that I would wait 6-8 weeks for my order each time, I found I could accept that and have happily ordered from IoE ever since.

So there's at least one lunatic there with you. =)

Oh, I forgot. I have hair that reacts oddly to different shampoos, so I'm always leery of trying new ones. However, the shampoos from IoE? AWESOME. I've never used a shampoo on my hair where so little goes so very, very far, and I love that I can have my hair smell how I want it to. The shampoos treat my hair really well, too. I was waffling on the hair spray mist, but given your comments on it, that'll be in my next order. (I just ordered my first body glaze last night, so I'll let you know how that is, oh, say by St. Patrick's Day? =P)

Exactly! I tend to just *forget* about my orders after I make them. They'll always arrive, they just take a while!

I think IOE's communication rocks now. :) Having someone do just CS has really helped. Of course, all my communication has been prompt and respectful so I might be biased!

You're not the only lunatic! I love IOE and happily order from them. I didn't use my hair mist this morning and my hair is all frizzy on the ends. I love her hair mists!

Yay! Three lunatics!

I'm eyeing the Superheroes line before it comes down next week. The biggest obstacle in regards to their TAT, for me, is you can't find people to go in on a group order or decants because of the month and a half wait.

Are you on the IOE forum? I know there are decant groups over there!

I really enjoyed the two scents I got from the Superheroes collection, The Mallrat and...Southern Powerhouse. I know that the Green Lawyer has gotten good reviews too!

I only joined the forum a few days ago, actually. It always slips my mind when I find a new e-tailer.

They have/had a strawberry note that was simple strawberry puree. Oh gosh that stuff was fanstastic.

So occassionally I break down and buy the scrubs and promptly forget so I don't gnaw my arm off waiting.

Great reviews! You make me want to try the IoE scrubs. And I friended you btw (no pressure to friend back) because it is nice to know the various BPAL folk who are a little older (I'm nearing 40). :P

no WAY! I saw the picture on google! You foxy lady you!

And yes...the scrubs are worth it. There's just no promises you'll get them fast or the scent will be there when you come back.

I LOVE the Eden's Mist for my hair.

I'm backing this one up again, 'cause I have to. The scrubs are just wonderful.

Thank you, you have enabled me to continue ordering from them with less guilt. Let me recommend my new favorite scent: Mr. Bean's Elixir.

AND IoE brought back Single Notes! Life is good.
