adorned with Grace: Defining true beauty

Due to the holidays, please expect a minor delay (like 24-48 hours longer) processing time of most orders. For example, if you made an order today, it will likely not go out until Thursday/Friday this week. We wish we could work faster but it seems nearly impossible at this time of the year without killing ourselves, LOL! Also, make sure to place your orders by December 16 to guarantee they will ship out before we leave for the Holidays. Orders placed between December 17-27 will not ship out until December 28 at the VERY earliest, but expect they will likely ship out before the end of the year. Thanks everyone! Hope your holiday season is going well! Can't believe Christmas is almost here already. It still feels like early November to me!

Yep, we had the 25% off Premium Face Brushes a few weeks ago and due to it's HUGE popularity, we will be bringing it back for Cyber Monday! Use: PREMIUMFACE25 You'll be thrilled to know that we did add the Premium Trio Eyeshadow Kit this time (sorry, not the a la cart eyeshadow brushes) but you do have to spend $15 or more (shipping/taxes not included) to make the coupon code even better! Hurry though as this deal ends at 12:00 midnight tonight!

So today's Blog Special is specifically on our Premium Face brushes (sorry, this means no eyeshadow brushes nor the sets) for 25% off! We have NEVER marked them down this low! The only catch is you do have to spend a minimum of $15 total (not counting shipping for you International folks) because we would otherwise be at a profit loss due to our low markup and free/inexpensive shipping. You can simply add about four $1 makeup samples or maybe some accessories you are eyeing--but this coupon code is mainly for you all who are wanting our very popular Flat Top or buying multiple brushes. Use code: PREMIUMFACE25 Code will expire November 14 (Sunday). Then we have added some new Clearance items that were mentioned in last week's blog which you can find here on our Clearance page . Don't forget, these are not the 5 gram jars, but the 10 gram like our Blushes & Color Correctors! But our favorite new item is our closable sifters! We are not adding them to our actu...

So we've been working like crazy to try to get our new Clearance colors out and instead of Foundation & Blush as we've had this past year, we've decided to put out some Eyecolors! And not just in our regular 5 gram jars, but 10 gram jars !!! Because these are Clearance colors you likely won't ever see them again so we made sure to give you enough to last. ;) Below is a swatch I did on my hands of the colors. You will be able to purchase them in duo set (not singly) in the following combinations: Astute & Intellectual Austere & Ascetic Bountiful & Selfless Brooding & Pensive Fortunate & Serendipitous Shrewd & Cunning Soothing & Comforting Timeless & Everlasting We've got a few more small details to finish before we put these on sale but be expecting these up early next week along with a couple new accessories. Just an FYI, our current LE's last day on the site will be Sunday, November 13. We've accident...

Though we have been rather silent via Blogging & Facebook posts, don't think we've forgotten all about you all! On the contrary, we have been busy getting some of the new items together such as some Clearance eye colors and photographing/editing some new accessory items (which we'll leave as a surprise since we like to do that, lol). In addition, we are running a low stock on certain shades of foundation, powder, eye colors/blushes that we are busily making/jarring/labeling so that there are no delays when processing your order. We are running behind schedule due to our out-of-town trips and other unexpected personal detours that have come up. In addition, we discovered non-makeup items out of stock upon our return and needed time to reorder from our suppliers. So when we are behind, we'd prefer to hold off on any Blog Specials to have plenty of time to get caught up. However, we *hope* we'll be caught up by the middle of next week so if you have a suggestio...

Bad news first: I will be in a Leadership Conference in Atlanta in the first part of October and since it is still a "one woman" company, there will be no one available for me (who could do the job as perfect as I want it anyway, lol!) to take care of Orders and Shipping so if you find you are running low on some of your awG favorites, please order by Sept. 30 or your order may not ship out until Wednesday, Oct. 13. To clarify further, expect that if you place an order between Oct. 1 - 12, your order will likely not ship until Wednesday, Oct. 13 at the earliest!  So even if you don't place an order and you happen to be talking to someone in a forum about how they haven't gotten a Shipping Notice from awG yet, then let them know as not everyone follows our Blog. On that note, EVERYONE should follow our Blog! And "Why?" you may ask...because of our Blog Sales! In fact, we do have one more Blog Special before I go out of town. In an effort to make room for...

This will be a fun question to answer as I'll have to stop and analyze myself as it has become so "auto-pilot" I don't think I can just quickly type this out, lol... Well, the first thing I like to do is moisturize my face. I have some old lotions I am still using up but my preferred moisturizer is a mix I made for myself using shea & cocoa butter, then also coconut oil (my favorite) with a little bit of Edelweiss extract. I need literally a teeny smudge of it as it can get very greasy but find that it softens my skin so well and naturally. After testing it for a little longer, I may consider tweaking the recipe and selling it at awG, more than likely as an LE during the winter months since I am concerned about it melting during shipment in the warmer months. I'll also apply some of my Vegan Lipbalm because my lips tend to chap and this helps significantly with that and provides a smoother base to my lip liner. After that, I go straight to the eyes. Since usi...

Since I know many of you are still waiting on payday OR distracted by the Labor Day holiday due to family or other sales OR you just simply did not know about our Blog Special , we are extending it until next Sunday, Sept. 12! So click HERE and get to shopping at our secret sale!

Today's Blog Special Then, we also have more Clearance items up! Mostly Oops Foundation and some all purpose shimmers. The all purpose shimmers are made from a basic base similar to our foundation ingredients that we tweaked to make into popular colors you can use for glows/blushes, eyelid washes, or body shimmer (like mix in with your lotion or sunscreen for an extra special glow!) They aren't quite Limited Edition as we did not make them intentionally (as we have creatively planned our other LE Collections) but made colors with extras of what we had and suspected we weren't going to use up anytime soon and a couple were Oops Shimmer Blushes. (Reserved was an Oops for Tenderness Shimmer Blush which is why it isn't quite as sparkly as the rest of them). As with the previous Oops foundies, they will come in a baggie with about 8 grams of product. The Shimmers (not Shimmer Blush because they are made to really use as "all purpose") will be full sizes in our 10...

So it looks like our Internet issues are resolved! Our service was actually performing back to normal about Wednesday last week and we were very close to putting up a Blog Special but then we got notification that our website builder was upgrading our website this weekend and that our site might be unavailable for 10-30 minutes. Because a different website builder has said the same thing and actually taken 24 hours (why I am not with them now!), I decided not to take the chance and make sure the upgrades went well. After all, you never know how smoothly these things go and didn't want to find my website all in a jumble in the midst of a sale where there is usually an increase in order volume! Well, the good news is it truly is even more awesome than ever! More of it is on my end but one of the benefits for you all, my prized customers, is it is now Mobile friendly! So if you have an iPod, iPhone, iPad, Palm Pre, or Android based device, you'll get a screen like you see on the l...

Until Sunday, August 22 (or while supplies last), awG is running a Birthday BLOG ONLY special kit of Franchesca's favorites ! Why, you may ask??? Well, today (the 18th) is her birthday! And like the Oil of Olay commercials say, she'd like to "grow old Gracefully" by offering you a special price on some of her top favorites. This is what she makes sure is packed before leaving on any overnight trip: Premium Small Dual Fiber brush ($16.99 value) - For the best blush/glow application! Premium Flat Top brush ($9.49 value) - For a super smooth foundation application! Ingenue Round Contour ($4.27 value) - For applying color to the crease with ease! Ingenue Fine Liner ($4.11 value) - The best brush for eyeliners, esp. if you love the "cat-eye" look! Ingenue Oval Shadow ($4.63 value) - For the best all over eye application! Blush / Shimmer Blush of your choice (7.99 value) - For all day color with the most natural colors! Premium Eyecolor of your choice ($5.4...

Just a heads up that if you are getting low on any of your awG items, make sure to make your order by this Thursday night to guarantee that it will ship out before this weekend. We'll be unavailable to ship until Wednesday at the earliest, which is really not that long to wait BUT we just had to let you know if you were needing your order in a hurry or were expecting our usual super-fast turnaround. Tentatively,we *might* also be unavailable for the same days the week after, but we'll let you know ASAP when we know for sure. (If we don't post anything between now and then, assume all is "as usual," fyi.) Summertime seems like such a busy month for many of us and awG in not excluded in that! We are currently working on some more Clearance items to put up for sale so make sure to look out for those. If we work really hard, we're hoping to have those on the site for sale around the middle or later part of the week of August 22. Thanks all! P.S. Graceful Coach (a...

Perfect skin. It seems like that is one of those coveted things I've noticed many ladies want and one of the reasons the search for the perfect foundation continues for many. I'm so glad that many of you have found and love using adorned with Grace's mineral foundation to help achieve your goal of smooth and clear-looking skin. However, wouldn't it be great to just not wear makeup at all? To wake up in the morning and be like, "Wow, my skin sure glows! I think I could just skip the foundie and blush this morning!" when you look in the mirror? Well, there are a few things that I've found from personal experience and in my own search for perfect skin that I know definitely help. Here is my list: 1. Water: Surely you all knew that would be my first! Hydration is very important and they say to figure out your needed amount, take what you weigh (let's say its 150 pounds) and divide that in half (so 75) and to drink that amount in ounces. So seventy-five o...

When I first started this Blog, I was wanting it to be an adjunct to my online store for announcements regarding our products/sales/etc. but also a place where I could write beauty and health-related articles to go with our theme of "defining true beauty" and that we see it from a holistic aspect. Sorry to say that I have not written as much as I would like but I've recently rediscovered my passion and determination to share what I know especially in regards to fitness/health so I have a new Blog that will focus on that HERE that I am calling Graceful Coach as I have recently signed up to become a Beachbody Coach of P90x & Insanity Workout DVDs fame. I would have just kept it all in one Blog but for those of you who follow and are Subscribers that only have awG in your interest, I did not want to Spam you with any fitness related posts should that not be your thing and vice-versa. I guess since hitting my mid-thirties, I've become rather focused on living at my...

New Limited Edition is up! Also, a few new Clearance items are up! And a Blog Only Brush special. Click HERE to see details!

We are still not quite done getting the new Summer 2010 LE out, but we thought you'd like to get a sneak peak of what's coming! In formulating these colors, I was yearning for the beach so you could say I had the "sea and the sand" as my inspiration for these colors, lol. Yeah, not too original for a Summer theme, but I really did want to add some more blues (especially FUN blues!) and I can never seem to get enough gold-toned eye shadows for myself! Flamboyant: A bright teal/sea blue that reminds me a an oasis paradise. My favorite blue of the three and MUCH prettier in person! Munificent: A light robin egg blue/sea foam green. Funny, they were just talking on the Today show this week about Beyonce's Robin Egg Blue Nail Polish being a makeup trend right now--you could mix this color in with some clear and possibly get something similar--maybe??? Emotive: A deep blue with light blue highlights. Similar to Inspiring, but more blue highlights than purple. Forthri...

Per request of our customers, we have brought in a new Premium Brush that works great for "on-the-go!" It is our new Premium Refillable Powder Dispensing Brush: As with our other Premium Brushes, this is 100% synthetic and made with the same super soft velvety bristles from the collection. But that is not the only reason to love this brush--it also has an adjustable dial so you can control the amount of powder flow. You may want to set it on 1 (I) for a lighter dusting light a touch up powder (our Heavenly Rice Powder?) or on 3 (III) to offer more product dispensing for foundations. The brush head is a medium density; nothing like a kabuki so don't expect to apply foundations that you prefer heavy coverage, but it is ideal for face powders, luminous all over face colors, and light foundation touch-ups. It is no doubt the softest refillable brush we've come across--and we've tried quite a few on the market! And with our coupon code ("IMBACK") that wil...

For those of you that follow our Blog & Facebook page and have been patiently waiting on us to return from our out-of town trip, here is the coupon code: IMBACK This coupon code is good for 10% off any purchases $10 or more and the last day you can use it will be Sunday, July 25 . This coupon is good on in-stock items only but you may use it as many times as you like and are welcome to post it on your own blog or preferred social media. This will be a great time to stock up on our minerals but especially our brushes like our MAC 188 dupe, Premium Small Dual Fiber or our very brand new brush, the Premium Refillable Powder Dispensing Brush . (See upcoming post for more info.) As a side note, we are sad to note that our very popular Microfiber washcloths are being discontinued by our supplier and we have searched and searched for a suitable replacement, but cannot seem to find one even remotely similar. We will continue to keep our eyes open for it but for now, it will no longer be ...

Wow, I cannot believe it has been over two weeks since I had to go on vacation from awG (though my trip was not a vacation exactly , but a conference I was hard at work at!) and I must say that I very much missed my time at work and getting to interact with all you wonderful customers! I've spent the last day and half catching up on rest (I think I slept 4-5 hours each night--a far cry from my usual and much healthier 7-8 hours) as well as catching up on the orders while I was gone and answering the emails I could not get to the latter part of my trip. I am thrilled to say I am caught up with both! All I have to do is update the tracking info (maybe later this p.m.) and get to any orders that were placed this morning. As promised, I will be putting up a new sale next week, likely Tuesday/Wednesday so check back either here or Facebook for updates on that! I hope to introduce a new brush (a 100% synthetic refillable dispensing brush) around then as well that many of you have been r...

Since we will be out of town from June 19-July 6, all orders received then will be taken, but not shipped until July 7 at the earliest. So if you want to make sure to get your order in before we leave please do it by Friday morning , June 18. (Central Standard time) If you happen to post a lot on a forum and notice anyone asking about turnaround time for shipping, do let them know our situation for those dates--we are known for our rather quick shipping times but this will be the exception as we do not have anyone to help us manage our store (at least the way I like it, LOL!) while we are gone. Also note that we may not have a lot of Internet access/time to answer any questions that come in so please also be aware of that as well. You know your questions and issues that arise our very important to us and try to get back with you as soon as we are able. Until then, enjoy the remainder of the time left on this Blog Special (over tomorrow, June 18) and when I come back we'll have an...

Check out our new Blog Specials at this link: Blog Special for 6-10 (Thurs) to 6-18 (Fri) You'll find some deeply discounted full-sized set deals with brushes. However, if you are NOT interested in any of those and plan on buying $30 or more AND want some Brushes/Accessories, use our Blog-only announced discount code "BLOGBRUSH15" and get 15% off all Brushes/Accessories. With this discount code, you will get 15% of any Brush/Accessory BUT you *must* spend $30 or more per order. Your $30 total does not have to come from just the Brushes/Accessories (so you can spend $25 on minerals and just $5 on a Brush) but it will ONLY discount Brushes/Accessories, not any makeup items or other products. Also, make sure to use the code at Checkout--otherwise, you will not get the discount! This will be our last Blog Special before we leave for our two week trip ** . Keep that in mind when placing an order--but also know that we will hopefully have some new items (definitely more Cleara...

First off: just a reminder that the 10% Grand Opening Sale will be ending this weekend. June 6 (Sunday) will be the last day to place an order using the code "GRAND." Remember, you *MUST* use the code at checkout to be get the discount! But if you happen to forget, no worries. Our company will be gone at the end of June/early July (June 19-July 6) and orders will be taken, but not shipped until July 7 at the earliest . However, we WILL have another great Sale then and will be taking requests on our Facebook pages to see what items you all would like to see on Sale! Click here to add your request! What we put on sale will depend on what we have on stock at the time but the sooner you let us know what you like, we can beef up our Inventory before that time! We'll try to honor the most popular requests as well as ones we notice from the trends on our website. We also hope to post some new items (maybe some new & old LE's) as well as more Clearance Items that seco...

To officially kick off our new website (thank you for all the rave reviews by the way!) we have started our 10% off sale, which is rather rare for awG since we do already offer very low prices and free/inexpensive shipping. This sale will run from May 24 (today) to June 6 (Sunday) All you do is type in the word " GRAND " when you checkout and the discount will apply to your order. Please make sure to use the Coupon Code above or we will not apply the discount to your order. Make sure to spread the word as one of the reasons we have switched to a new website is our hopes to grow even more! One of the awesome features of our new site is that if you look closely at each product, (note our screen shot below) there is a link there where you can link an specific product to post to your favorite social media such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. It's sharing made much easier! There will be no Blog Special while this sale is running but we'll likely be back to posting one ...

Click to get to the secret link of our new Blog Special: Blog Special for May 19 (Wednesday) to May 23 (Sunday) One of the specials we told you about is a chance to exclusively * try out our new Premium Small Dual Fiber. It's kind of a mix of our Petite & Sleek. The bristles are more like the Petite BUT 100% Synthetic but has a longer handle like the Sleek and matches our other Premium brushes. This brush does cost more than our Ingenue line but as with our other Premium brushes, this is of the best quality and you will find that there is very minimal shedding/bleeding and with proper care, could last you lifetimes! You'll find it worth the price! We are offering it for $14.77 as an introductory price and will increase it to $16.99 when it debuts on our store next week. The manufacturer's recommended price is between $19-$25 and if you compare with brushes like the MAC 188 (which is about $32-34 and NOT 100% Synthetic ) it is still a good deal! Thanks all and happy sh...

We have made a couple changes in our Shipping Policy since we had a chance to redo our website and they are as follows: 1. We will no longer accept orders that have different Billing and Shipping Addresses UNLESS you are a Customer who has made at least one purchase before using your Billing Address. Unfortunately, we’ve had some very dishonest people take advantage of our previous policy in the last several months and cannot afford to do that anymore since they were fraudulent orders . PayPal normally has safeguard checks when you pay but for some reason, these crooks got past them! Should we get an order with varying addresses, we will cancel the order immediately, but also notify you via email AND by a written letter via your Billing Address the reason why. 2. Also, our International Shipping charges have changed: $15 or less: $1.50 USD $15.01-$35.00: $2.50 USD $35.01-$55.00: $3.50 USD $55.01-$100.00 or more: $4.50 USD ***All orders $100.01 or more will be cha...

It has taken about a month of hard work to get this together but I think the majority of you will be very happy with the changes! Here’s a run-down on the ones I am most excited about… 1. Account Log-In: My other website required you to do that but it was simply to ease checkout. It did not allow you to check on orders and its status. It also keeps record of things like Wish Lists, previously viewed items, past orders, etc. 2. Customer Testimonials: You can now submit your Testimonials for the products you love (or maybe not so love, lol) and rate them to help others in their shopping experience. Just know that we will monitor them and won’t publish Testimonials that are super short (e.g. “Hated this product!” or “Would never buy again!”) because if you write something less than flattering, the Customers reading them would like to know exactly why (wrong for your skin, too bright, bad texture, etc.)—it is only fair. ;) 3. Compare feature: You ca...

adorned with Grace is in the process of making some changes in the next few days to a week so there is the chance the site may be down this weekend (May 15-17) and *maybe* a few days after that. Just be aware of this in case you needed to place a much needed order or were making a YouTube video as the links you post may not work. As soon as we are finished with the changes, we will post here first to give you an overview of what we've done! We'll likely also post up a good Blog Special and/or Sale just for your patience! P.S. I just have to let one cat out of the bag: In around 2-3 weeks, we hope to have a 100% Synthetic Long Handled version of our beloved Ingenue Petite Dual Fiber for sale on the site. We'll be offering a special Introductory price the first week of its sale, so you'll want to stay tuned for that! Have a good weekend everyone!

With the air of Springtime and the beautiful colors popping up all around, we were inspired today to put our Eyeshadows on Sale for 10% off! This means all Single eyeshadows (Regular and Premium formulas) and Sets are marked down. Please note that this does NOT including our Limited Edition, however; also, it does not include our single Sample sizes. If you put one of the LE colors in the boxes that require you to write in the name of the eyecolor, it may delay your order as we'll have to email you and ask that you request a different color. This Eyeshadow Sale will run until Sunday, May 9th. P.S. For my subscribers and FB followers, in case you were wondering, there will be no Blog Special this week.

New special up for my loyal following! As always, this will be up while supplies last or until May 2, whichever comes first! Please make sure to read the Terms and if there are any questions, let us know at adorned_with_grace@yahoo.com. BLOG SPECIAL APRIL 28-MAY 2. FREE ITEMS WITH PURCHASE OF $15 OR MORE (Shipping NOT Included)

Our Blog Special this week is just a little one in honor of Earth Day, April 22. Check it out HERE. These were so popular last year (and we are still getting tons of hits for it at our old Ecrater store!) we thought we'd bring them back for this special occasion. As indicated in the listing, you must spend $15 or more (NOT including Shipping & Handling for my International Customers) to qualify and, of course, go to the "secret link" above to add to your cart. Also, FYI, we have added some "Oops" foundations ; as we made up more batches the last couple of months, not every batch passes our comparison swatch test and/or we occasionally read the recipe wrong or reach for the wrong ingredient; but instead of throwing away the mistaken batches (which would be totally wasteful and NOT in the spirit of Earth Day, lol!) we thought we'd make these available to you for a very inexpensive price. If you have already sampled our foundations, you might also find th...

Yes, we have a new Blog Special for you all this week! Check out our "secret link" HERE. Remember, to qualify for these items, you must use the listings on this page and this sale will last until next Sunday, April 18 OR while supplies last as we might sell out sooner. Also, we have some new LE eyecolors for you all! Find them here on our Limited Edition page . For those that love violet-tinged neutrals, you'll love this set of colors. I have to be honest in saying that the pictures, even the swatches below, do not capture the beauty of the colors--we just apologize for not being more talented with our photography! While the photo above makes the colors look very plain and neutral, what you don't see is the beautiful violet highlights with most of the colors. I actually made these over a month ago when I found out a very old friend from college had passed away and creating colors was one of my ways to heal so these colors are almost an interpretation of what I ...

... with an exception of the $22/$44/$66/$88 Blog Specia l deal, we've decided to continue with the other Blog Special sales until Sunday, April 4 ! These are some of the most popular listings yet and we'd like to give those who did not get a chance to order them another several days to do so. The only exception would be if we run out of stock on our brushes, but the Premium Mini Eye Buki would be the only one that would apply to as that one is going very fast! If you aren't interested in the current sale, stayed tuned the next week or two where we hope to put up a new set of Blog Special deals in conjunction with our new April Limited Edition Eyecolors!

First off, the Error is finally fixed! PayPal had to rewrite some codes and they have it finally working okay for everyone! (I was not the only site that was having issues yesterday!) Sorry again to anyone that may have been inconvenienced by this. Okay, guys, this has been a long time coming! We've been so busy restocking our samples and full-sized jars that we haven't even had a chance to think up a great Blog Special! So at the promptings of a few of our customers, we've come up with this one: Just CLICK HERE to get to the "secret link" on our Website To give you a hint, if you buy our 10 for $29.99 Eyecolors set , one Blush/Shimmer Blush , our Premium Retractable Kabuki or buy a certain amount of items (from $22, $44, $66, or $88) you'll get specific free (and very popular) products! Check it out at the link above and Happy Shopping! This Blog Special will last until March 31 or while supplies last. Please forward any questions to adorned_with_grace@yaho...

Sorry all, but instead of the Blog Special I had all ready to post up for this morning, I need to warn you all that there is an Error Message that shows up when you Checkout and does not email either you, me, or my website the actual Order so while we receive your Payment, we have no idea what you ordered! I have contacted my Website Builder in regards to this extremely inconvenient matter and hoping the situation will be fixed ASAP. As soon as the matter is resolved, I will post up our Blog Special as I know many of you have been waiting for one! If there was something you needed to order ASAP, let me know and I may just have to send you a manual invoice OR you can order through the my website, but before you Submit your Order, do a "Cut & Paste" of your Order, with your Shipping Address, and email that to me at adorned_with_grace@yahoo.com. The main issue is just that our Shipping Department has no idea what to send you since we need that Order Confirmation page to know...

Just a quickie post to let you know that our green eyecolors (Benevolent, Enduring, Tranquility, & Glorious) as well as a single jar of our Merciful Green Color corrector are specially discounted for this St. Patrick's Day just for the next 24 hours from this post!

Just a quick note to let you all know that we had a wonderful time at my sister's wedding and were able to get back into the swing of things and have mailed out all the orders made while we were gone. FYI, there are some of you that may have trouble getting out notices (Order Confirmation & Shipping Notices) especially those with a Yahoo email account (they have strangely strict privacy settings) so if you believe you placed an order from Feb. 9 - 23, and have not received ANY notices, you are welcome to email us to check. We apologize for that but some email servers don't always recognize our Automatic Response emails from out website. We had quite a few orders--much more than expected and even pleasantly overwhelming!--but we worked hard to make sure you all didn't have to wait too long as we like to follow the Golden Rule in that matter! ;) We had so many sample orders we are busily making more products to replace our stock as well as reordering other items (brushes,...

If you have been to our site in the last few days you may have seen the Notice at the bottom of our website right above the footer: We'll be unavailable to ship orders received from Feb. 9 - Feb. 21 because we will be out of town and that orders will likely not be shipped until Feb. 23 at the earliest. Why is this you may ask? Well, we have a very important wedding to go to in Florida and will be out of town and unable to take care of things as usual. My little sister is getting married (Congrats, Sis!) and being the maid of honor, we just could not miss such a special occasion! Since we are a small company, we do not have additional staff that can help with the processing while we are gone so we just hope you will either submit your order before the 9th or after the 21st or be willing to wait a little longer that our usual shipping time. However, in honor of her special day, we have a special Wedding LE Collection; there are two eye colors, Incomparable & Exceptional and then...

Actually, I should say this is the last night of our current sale, lol... We just wanted to remind you all that the current prices we have on our brushes and makeup sets will be tonight, January 18. We may leave up the Limited Edition sets as those have continued to be very popular and we still have plenty in stock. But this is just a reminder in case you have forgotten and you should have until tomorrow afternoon/early morning to get any last minute deals. FYI, we were not able to ship out any orders today since this is a U.S. Postal Holiday (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) so many of the orders we received Friday late afternoon and early evening will not ship out until tomorrow (Tuesday) January 19. Also due to the higher volume of orders this weekend (many last minute customers taking advantage of the last weekend of our sale!) there may be a 1-2 day delay in our usual shipping times. For example, if you ordered today, it may not ship out until Wednesday. But we do thank you all so VER...

As noted from our last blog entry, we have continued our Christmas Sale as a New Year's Sale ! We have the same select makeup & brush sets on sale for those of you that missed or may not have had the money to get the items last time. This sale will run until January 18 OR when items goes Out of Stock. The only exception is our Powders ; these are probably our #1 best selling product and these went FAST during the Christmas Sale. We still have all the powders in stock right now (but just a few jars of certain ones) and we also have more ingredients coming, but due to the holiday rush were unable to get those ordered and back fully stocked in time to have them ready by today's Sale.

Just a quick note to let you all know that we will put up the continuation of our Christmas/New Year sale the week of January 4 (most likely be up around Jan. 4/5).

We made sure we got caught up with our shipping as we know the joy of getting items shipped quickly! And of course, no orders were shipped out today (Jan. 1) since this is considered a holiday for the U.S. Postal service but we will resume sending them ...
