you asked for feedback, so here ya go!

first off, divine country soap is the website, but there is no other mention of it of it on your site. could be a bit of a disconnect with your actual business name, bella skin.

the photos at the top look more like what you'd find on a petri dish when looking under a microscope. i can almost tell they are soaps, but why not just put beautiful pictures of your soap? no need to use cheesy photoshop filters.

the text under "about us" is all written in black making it nearly impossible to see on a dark grey background.

and finally, you may want to do a quick grammar and capitalization check through all the the text. You've got Bella skin, Bella Skin, and other variations of pretty important words. uniformity will help the site look more professional.

just some thoughts to help you improve the site.
 
I like the website. Are there any pictures of the products in your store? I could see pictures under 'featured', but when I clicked on those, there were still no pictures.

I had to refresh a couple of times to get the page up also - my computer is a bit slow, but I'm wondering if the size of photos (pixels) is too large and my computer can't load them. This could be a problem for some.....
 
Yes I too couldn't see the pics just a little question mark. Also on some of the pages the type is so dark almost black you can't read it. I like the pictures in your banner at the top but more as an abstract on my wall....I would think the customer would be more happy to see actually pics of the detailed product in those shots. I can see what you were trying to do there but your customers might think that they are going to get something that looks like that when they order.....just something to think about. I like the layout though and the black background.
 
I think the stylized photos at the top would look better replaced with photos of your actual soap.
The unscented kelp,honey and ginger - I couldn't see any of those items listed in the ingrediants. I think you should list everything you put in or on the soap in case people are allergic to anything. The heart confetti on top - is that soap ?

Roxy, please take our criticism as constructive, not critical.
I agree with all of the assessments above about the site. Banner pics are not pleasing to the eye, neither in the dark grey background. Good and correct spelling and grammer are a must and to me it looks (feels) more like a blog than a web store.

In business, you must brand your company name and products so I think you need to pick one name and stick with it. The web address should match (or be as close as possible).
 
On the home page, you refer to the "cold press" method of soap making. I think you mean "cold process" :) I like the banner!
 
I didn't see the original banner so can't comment on the change. I like the pics of the soaps and looking through the products is easy. Each soap page is easy to read, easy to see ingredients, and I liked your warning about pollen allergies for the seaweed soap- helpful.

I am a stickler for grammar, punctuation, and phrasing, especially on a store website and that definitely needs to cleaned up a bit in order to look the most professional. Unfortunately, you can't count on spell check because too many things fall through. I see people have put some things they specifically noticed on here. We could all note the things we think could stand correction, if it would help. It's hard to read your own work/website because you already know what you want it to say- it's easier to have proof-readers to catch errors. Let us know if it would help- I'd be happy to let you know what I noticed.
 
I love the changes you've made ... the banner looks great and the soap pictures are lovely.

I found your site easy to navagite!
