Swatch Photos of new February colors

Per customer request, just some swatches of recently released colors!
First up is the new Shimmer Blushes/Glows, Bemused & Dainty:

I applied these rather "thickly" just so you can see the color; they are, of course, much more flattering when applied with a stipple brush as a glow. Bemused is very brightening to sallow skin although I personally think it would look best on fair neutral tones and for those of you ladies who may be pinker. Dainty is a great all over glow/highlighter and you can see how it complements my Grace 4.0 skintone.
Next up are the Limited Edition Metallics:

This is probably one of the first swatch photos I've taken that I think actually shows what they really look like! Those flecks of deep gold are what make these colors most unique and interesting!
And finally, the Limited Edition Winter 2009 set :

I'm sad to report that these did wash out the depth of the colors a little as the beauty of all of them (these colors have quite a bit of "twinkle & shine") look much better in real life--especially with Valiant & Steadfast. But you can at least see the depth of color and how they look in relation to each other. There is also more of a color difference between Valiant & Steadfast especially with their finish. (Valiant is my bluer version of Fearless--it's like a cool liquid metal finish.)

Hope those swatches helped! Remember, these (the LE Eyeshadows only, as Dainty & Bemused are here to stay!) will be available until April 1 *OR* until I sell out of them, whichever comes first!

 I had no idea it would be so challenging. You would think that I could just “pick up” where we left off with adorned with Grace, but the market has changed pretty significantly in 10 years! I do not remember having to work so hard making the products and on the website many years ago. The latter has been especially difficulty—but…I think I had a bit of writer’s block when trying to get everything jump started. I realized that in continuing adorned with Grace, I felt important to clarify to myself what adorned with Grace would be. Back then, it started as a creative outlet for me, to make cosmetics for hard-to-match skin tones like mine, and to promote true beauty ideas for a positive influence in the world. All still true, of course! But before I could go any further, I felt impressed to elaborate on our values and mission, so this is what I wrote down last week: *To be a light to those in darkness who are held down from their true identity in God. *To unite women and model how we...

See you in 2012!

So we are now officially closed in preparation for the move! This means that we will have very limited Internet access the next month or two due to the amount of work we have to do packing and traveling so if we are slow to answer, it is not that we are ignoring you, but that we just are unable to. If there are any problems with orders, please understand that we will have everything packed up and cannot ship any items until the move is complete. We would like to remind those that place International orders, we cannot do anything about it anyway unless you purchased Shipping Insurance. For those that did purchase it and have an issue, again it will be at least 1-2 months before we can do anything anyway as we ask you to wait about 60 days from the time your order ships out before we can do anything. As of right now, we are still processing orders but we expect them all to be shipped out by early next week. We are actually pleasantly overwhelmed with the amount of orders that came in...
