etsy 4 for Friday – Beauty for the Beasts Edition
This week we were thrilled to share the recap of Beauty for the Beasts, the we heart this and Cristophe hosted event benefiting The Rescue Train, a non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to eliminating animal suffering and euthanasia. If you couldn’t make the event, no worries! This 4 for Friday we’re highlighting two Etsy vendors that were a part of BftB, offering their time and portion of proceeds to such a worthy cause.
• Adriana of Ripe wowed us with her handmade bath and body products. My favorite? Her Hazelnut Lip Scrub packaged in a classic lip balm tube. No more digging into a teeny jar – just swipe this mix of sugar, avocado oil and cocoa butters in a circular motion over lips to achieve a super soft, totally kissable pout. $5
• Gertie & Baxter was founded by two friends and features handcrafted fashion accessories. We flipped for their Infinity Scarves made with a unique mixture of pretty fabrics. I loved the soft pinks in the version above, while Stef purchased the same style in mint green (you can see her modeling the scarf here). $34.50
• Another favorite from Gertie & Baxter was this adorable Chevron Makeup Bag. Available in a rainbow of colors, each bag features a matching interior lining and gold zipper. These bags are the perfect size to hold your entire traveling makeup stash – and could easily double as a stylish clutch! $20
• Finally, for the soap fanatics we had to share these French Clay Bars from Ripe. Each hand cut bar is detergent and phthalate-free and made with love. Choose between intoxicating scents like Tea Tree Lavender made with shea butter and French green clay or Rose and Geranium crafted with goat milk and French pink clay. $5 each
A big “Thank You” to both Ripe and Gertie & Baxter for participating in Beauty for the Beasts! Please stop on by their Etsy stores to say thanks, browse their amazing wares and pick up a few goodies.

I bought a couple lip balms from Ripe at the event – Earl Grey and Rose Mint. They smell and feel amazing, I highly recommend them! I may even review them some day :)

I love the infinity scarf, as I said in previous post I think I will have to pay a visit to their Etsy site! Both colors are beautiful, it will be hard to decide between them!
I meant to get back to the Ripe table to pick up some balms…Earl Grey and Vanilla Bourbon, I think, but I got swamped with all the last-minute raffle ticket buyers. I’ll have to order them, I guess. Really wonderful products!
Ok all of the vendors sound awesome and I am going to check them all out. But I am extra excited to try the Ripe lip scrub and the Gertie & Baxter Chevron Makeup Bag.
I am also now dangerously close to ordering the infinity scarf. It is gorgeous!!!
Those lip scrubs look amazing, and very necessary this time of year with all the cold air.
Thank you to both Ripe and Gertie & Baxter for your contributions! All four of these products look amazing.
I am so insanely happy with my Ripe and Gertie & Baxter purchases! I get more compliments on my infinity scarf than any other I own. You can’t see it very well in the photo, but one edge of it has a lace scalloped trim that adds just a touch of girlyness to it that’s perfect. Plus, it’s lightweight and soft. Love it!
And I could have bought Ripe’s entire perfume oil collection, they are amazing! But I ended up with Lemon Cake, which is this buttery vanilla and lemon combo that is insanely good. Serious I can’t stop sniffing myself with it on. Next up on my “to buy” list is Kumquat, another rich fruit scent. SO GOOD!

Be still my beating heart! I can feel the love that these hand crafted items were made with. I wish I was able to attend this event. I would have bought so many of these items for a good cause.
