Homemade beauty—no craftiness required!
Posted Thursday, May 21, 2009
If you've yet to discover Etsy.com, you're missing out on some of the most fabulous handmade art, jewelry, clothing and decor. But being beauty buffs, what we really love is Etsy's wide range of bath, body and skincare products by independent formulators and sellers.
We've always fantasized about making our own products right in our kitchen, but a lack of time and concocting craftiness has kept us from actually doing it. But on Etsy, hundreds of talented people are selling their own high-quality lotions and potions, many with presentations polished enough to pass for boutique brands.
Some of our favorites include Spa Therapy Works, username SpaTherapy, which offers yummy Vegan Lip Balm and Whipped Cream Soap; Angel Face Botanicals, username SpaGoddess, offering organic face formulas such as Ambrosia Cleansing Grains and Everlasting Under-Eye Serum; and LaLa Bloom, username LaLaBloom, featuring an especially fabulous lipgloss called Super Glam Lip Jam.
There are literally thousands of homemade beauty products on Etsy, so you're bound to find something you'll love—and if not, perhaps you'll become inspired to start making and selling your own skincare line!
