I had a bunch of that left over from the previous owners. It has been sitting in my "Sale" basket for a month. Can't hardly give it away.

I've ordered 3 of the servin' up fun deal in the last 2 months. I'm going to order it one more time before our grand reopening. There are a couple of varieties (like Dark 'n Dazed) that I just CAN'T keep on the shelf...People come in specifically asking for some of them...

Goop! Try Designer Skin Splash for an economical line.

The packaging on EB is very good....too good in my opinion. I debated between bringing in EB or the new Designer Skin Splash line. I went with Splash based of the packaging. The Splash line isn't terrible but it does in my opinion look cheap. I haven't sold a lot of it which is what I wanted. I much prefer to sell other higher price point products. In my opinion you never want to have a "cheap" line that, because of quality or packaging, will take away from your other higher end sales.

We brought EB on this year for our economy line. We sell a lot of it. I don't mind the lotion, it works well for the price. We sell a lot of the Kamizaki Kooler and the Mojo Sauce. The Tan N Tonic is great for the younger ones who have acne. It is oil free and priced reasonably. Two good selling points on that one

I agree with JeffinKC. Last season I carried EB and i found it was competing just based on packaging with higher end lotion. I believe a VALUE brand should look like one. The splash line has done exactly what I wanted it to do, BOOST my sales it still is decent lotion have not had a complaint but then I have only sold 4. the try me is a great way to upsell to angel as well. This is $10.99 but for $7.00 more you get almost triple the amount of lotion and excellent anti aging skin care ingredients. Works every time.

Emerald Bay; cute packaging, crappy lotion. I am done with EB, specifically Toasted Twister-- can't bear the smell in the salon any longer.
