SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE PART 2

As I explained in the first post of this series: SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE Part 1, www.Etsy.com is the perfect place to find a treasure. If you have not yet explored the site (tisk tisk - I told you it was excellent), allow me to capture the essence in a nutshell. Etsy is the equivalent of all the outdoor markets and indoor boutiques in the world being mixed into one, as though each artisan enters a door from their part of the world and miraculously arrives in yours. I picture the items on display in large cities, small towns, beach boardwalks, all the spots that treasures normally find themselves. On Etsy you'll find all things lovely and creative; items you never knew you had an appreciation for will suddenly pull your heart strings. Below is another of Etsy's shops that interests me; allow me to explain why.

SHOP: HeavenlyNaturalSoap

LOCATION: Chama, NM

Childhood Solid Perfume Twist-Up Tube ($4.50)

Why: This particular fragrance, endearingly entitled Childhood, is described by HeavenlyNaturalSoap as "a sweet innocent blend of delicate flowers and soft notes of caramel and musk. Like the sweet smell of a well-loved child." At $4.50 per unit, this solid perfume is a perfect addition for a fragrance collector. I, personally, love having several unique fragrances that I may choose between according to my mood. If you prefer to have a signature scent, HeavenlyNaturalSoap's offerings will cater to you as well: at such a reasonable price you'll be able to purchase one for your purse, one for your office and one for your dressing table!

Neopolitan Soapsicle Fun Soap ($5)

Why: Whimsical with an ambrosial appeal, this Neopolitan Soapsicle Fun Soap is an adorable gift for the inner child in us all. Nostalgia in a soap! ::The recognizable melody of an ice-cream truck fades in from the background::

In addition to the items featured above, HeavenlyNaturalSoap's Etsy shop caught my gaze with Beauty in a Bottle Makeup Fix: a setting spray and shadow-foiling agent, as well as Cotton Candy Fluff Sugar Cubes Single Use Body Scrub: pale pink bathing scrubs that will make for a luscious bath AND pretty-up your powder room! Most items in this Etsy shop look delicious, feast your eyes here!

Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows AVAILABLE

Did you miss out on your chance to purchase the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows when it released the first week of February? I must say, I own the palette myself and I love it, but several of the shadows are renamed shadows that are available in the regular line.

Still want the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows? How bad?

Urban Decay just announced one last opportunity to purchase the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows via their website; the book is available as a collection called Alice's Favorite Things and will set you back $211.

Urban Decay designed this collection very wisely, including two top sellers: the Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder and the Big Fatty Mascara, along with two items that have newly been released: De-Slick in a Tube - Mattifying Gel and Eden Shadow Primer Potion (to let you try them and get hooked), and then a couple of neutral fillers to make the set that much more appealing. Great planning - will you be making this purchase?

SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE PART 1

Think of strolling through your favorite street fair; a collection of candy-colored juxtapose buildings in Capitola, California; the smell of ocean and the feel of sand as you realize you've just unearthed a perfectly intact seashell whilst at the beach; the scent of a delectable treat escaping from Savannah's River Street Sweets to entice your nose and, in turn, your tummy; a piece of jewelery shining softly and awaiting a new life on the shelf of a second-hand store. Perusing the pages of Etsy.com consistently provides me with a similar emotion - that of stumbling upon a much-welcomed treasure during an adventure of sorts.

I recently set out to navigate Etsy in search of undiscovered talent and magnificent cosmetic goodies offered at ideal prices. In this SPOTLIGHT series I will give mention to five shops that appeased the treasure-hunter in my core.

Read on, Gorgeous, for details regarding the first shop in my SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE series.

THE SHOP: SHIROCOSMETICS

Location: Portland, Oregon

S.S. Anne Loose Vegan Mineral Eyeshadow ($5)

Rattata Loose Vegan Mineral Eyeshadow ($5)

Source

Why: The shimmery goodness of these VEGAN-friendly shadow pots hooked me in an instant! At just $5 apiece, these are an excellent way to dive into the world of mineral makeup and start building your collection! S.S. Anne and Rattata are both on-trend shades that will be a gorgeous addition to your arsenal, but be sure to shop SHIROCOSMETICS' other hues, ranging from classic to bold, here. The colors are absolutely lovely and if you find that you can't choose between them, you're in luck - the shop offers sample sized lots so that you can fall for several, or for all, at $12 and under! Furthermore, SHIROCOSMETICS' shop has been open on Etsy for two months and feedback has been 100% positive!

Look for upcoming posts in this series: SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE.

Meanwhile, enjoy a treasure-hunt of your own, Darling!
