This will be the last post in this series for now. Today we'll talk about the world of on line shopping for home made cosmetics.
Sometimes there are ingredients you can't find at stores in your town. If you're lucky the internet will provide you with web shops from your country, specialized in natural and home made cosmetics.
These web shops are a dangerous place for the wallets of people like me, filled with amazing oils, butters, powders and dried flowers.
There are a couple of things you should try to remember when ordering. . Most of these things sound simple and logical, but sometimes the quantity and greed can get you distracted.
*check out multiple stores if you can. Some may have a larger variety of products, others might be a little cheaper, some maybe have free shipping. It really pays off to look around and see what's the best place to shop at.
*try buying in bulk. It's often cheaper, plus it's nice to have a stock. Not all products can be bought in bulk, especially products with a shorter shelf life. It also means you will only have to pay for shipping once.
*Check the ingredients. This might sound strange at first, but you buy let's say an extract, it's nice to know what they used to make it. Sometimes oils and butters have added ingredients to make it a butter or oil.
*Look up some recipes before you order. This will get you inspired, and will also give you a guideline from which to start. Sometimes you see so many things you want, but if you have a goal it's easier to stay focused and not spend too much money.
*Educate yourself. What does stuff like cold pressed really mean? Refined, cold pressed, biological are just some terms shops might use for their products.
There are just a few simple hints to get you going. If you're completely new in the field of making your own cosmetics, I would suggest you start with some stuff that can be made with stuff from the supermarket or health store first before you buy anything on line. Give it a shot, and if you like it there's plenty of stuff out there for you to buy.
