adorned with Grace: Defining true beauty

Regarding the Shimmer Blushes So the Shimmer Blushes are now up! They will be under the "Blushes" category but if you wanted to zero in on them, click on the "Shimmer Blushes" category under "Blushes." They will also be broken down into Cool , Neutral , & Warm colors. (And yes, we do notice that we're lacking a few more Cool colors so those are in the works ASAP!) For one week only--Today (January 26) until Sunday (February 1) at 8:00 p.m. Central Standard time, I am running a special sale on the entire Shimmer Blush Collection as a set. Go to the Limited Edition page to see details. This is for those of you that want to sample and/or own all the colors. However, you can also just mix and match them with the other regular (non-shimmer) Blushes and purchase them in the "2 for" or "4 for" Sets that we sell. **Edited to clarify: The Shimmer Blushes are a part of the regular collection. We are just running a special deal for thos...

Just to give you all an idea of what you'll be getting when you spend over $17 (until this Friday afternoon that is), here is an arm swatch picture of all the colors of the new blushes that will be available at the end of this month. FYI, you may need to click on the picture to get a larger view: I started out formulating these with the idea of glows or all over face colors most similar to Bare Minerals' line. I remember when I used to wear BE and how much I liked Clear Radiance although I wished it was just a little more suited for my golden olive skintone. I recently got to try BE's "True" & "Glee" and was wowed by those as well. I love the light infusion of color that blushes of this type deliver when I want a fuss-free application and a natural look. For those of you that have tried my blushes, I have formulated most of those pretty well pigmented simply because I like a blush that lasts and not having to use a lot of product at once. I also don...

For three days ONLY (Tuesday, January 20 to Friday afternoon, January 23, about 12:30p.m. CST) we are having a special deal on eyecolor samples! Get 12 different colors for only $7! The only catch besides the limited time it will be available for is you cannot choose the same color more than once and no substitutions of our other products--it must be an eyecolor! But take advantage of this offer because this is one of those deals I don't plan to run often. Being a new company, this is one of my ways to get people to try my products and get the word out. We will also be running a special “Get With Purchase Deal” for orders over $17 these same three days where you get a sample baggie set of all eight of our new Shimmer Blushes/Glows! You’ll get a “sneak peek” as they will not release until later this month. I'll try to have some swatches up maybe tomorrow if the lighting cooperates! But remember, this deal will also end with the Eyecolor sample sale. Once you see the listing fo...

Just a quickie note to let you all know that Monday is a U.S. Holiday (Martin Luthur King Jr. Day) and that any orders placed Friday-Sunday this weekend will likely not ship out until Tuesday, January 20 as the Postal Service will be closed on the 19th. I love surprises so I won't give away the details of the Eyeshadow sample (and maybe some select eyeshadow items) sale, but I do plan on having one maybe the middle of next week? It will be a quick sale that may only last 3-4 days. Again, just another "heads up" for those of you that may be planning an eyeshadow sample order this weekend and to maybe hold off until then so you can get a better deal. Have a good weekend everyone!

The new Ingenue brushes are finally here! We will no longer be carrying the 5-Piece Ingenue Eyeshadow Brush set because we have added to our collection some brushes I have come to love to make it an 8-Piece Set : Crescent Fluff, Round Contour, & Angle Fluff. These are all for those areas around your crease area where you need a more contoured shaping to get the perfect application. You can also just get these brushes individually, just go to the Ingenue Brushes page . We also have the other brushes back in stock as well. Not only that, but we have decided to add back (but not quite as great a discount as the Christmas sale) the Premium 4-Piece Brush set due to popular demand and to give those of you who wanted to get all of them a price break. Just FYI, we have a limited stock of all these on hand (both Ingenue & Premium) BUT as soon as they start running low, we'll be restocking them again ASAP--it might take about a week or so to get them back in, but they will be here ...

We are almost out of the Premium Face Brush set for $49.99; Natural Lash Set for $9.99; and the Premium Eyeshadow Brush set for $14.99 is out of stock. Also our Ingenue Eyeshadow brushes are still out of stock and may not be in until early next week as my supplier had some delays with my order and did not get it shipped out until this morning. But...good news: the Ingenue Dual Fiber brushes are back in stock! I have also added a 2 for $11.25 set for those of you that like to buy in bulk. Also in stock: Mascara Guard and the Premium Eyeshadow brushes are available for individual purchase now (but no longer available in the specially priced kits). So make sure to check out all our brushes here on our Brushes & Accessories page! And don't forget, I still have the Get With Purchase deal as outlined in this post until January 8, Thursday so make sure that if you order over $55, you leave me a note in the comments section which color eyeshadow you want!
