Gnarly Whale Shop Review

gift

Ashley over at Afterninetofive.net recently created GnarlyWhaleShop, a vegan friendly beauty, bath and body shop on Etsy. Being a fan of Ashley’s blog I didn’t hesitate making an order to her shop as soon as it went live October 1st. I ordered a set of three vegan lip balms for $9 and anxiously waited for my package to arrive. However, a week after making my order Ashley messaged me informing me that there may be a chance that my order would be affected by a mishap at the shop.

After such a sweet letter how could I be upset! When my order arrived I contacted Ashley and let her know that my tubes were indeed affected by the mishap and she responded with this sweet email.

Sweet right! I chose to wait for the new set of tubes to arrive and when they did she contacted me via email again to check and make sure that I didn’t have any allergies so that she could make the new batch of lip balms. Within a week my new lip balms arrived at my door step and I was more than pleased by the packaging.

My package arrived with these cute thank you cards,a business card and an ingredient card. Every thing is vegan friendly and cruelty free.

The lip balms smell so refreshing and were very moisturizing to my dry and cracked lips. And for those like me who hate the greasy feeling that some lip balms can leave behind, have no fear this lip balm feels great.


I also received a free body scrub sample with my order as pictured below:

I have yet to use this body scrub but as soon as my Yu-be body scrub runs out I will definitely give this a try. Gnarly Whale does not use any harsh ingredients so it is safe for all skin types. Also when you order $10 or more you will receive a free sample (s&h not included). Also orders over $25 will receive a lip balm with their orders as well! How awesome is that! I am saving up for my next purchase next month and these are the items I’m currently loving from Gnarly Whale Shop.
