Clearance items/Coupon code up & a Dilemmas!

I've just put up some Clearance items on this page. There is also a special Coupon Code to use for ONLY Clearance items. If you order $20 or more, you will get 10% off those Clearance items. Remember, this will only be on Clearance items; if you put other regular priced items in your cart, there will be no discount off of that. We will run this coupon code until May 7. 


Use: CLEARANCE10

I do apologize for the lack of photos on these new items. Most of the eyecolors do have a swatch photo from our Blog so you will at least be familiar with the general color. I recently switched to a Mac computer last year as our HP kept crashing on us despite being less than a year and a half old but my photo editing program that I usually use is not available on my Mac (???) and I think my HP finally crashed for good a few weeks ago.

In addition to that, the label maker for our jars was also on that HP computer and the new one for Mac in not as readily customizable for our round labels. I do have Mac Parallels (will run Windows on a Mac) on my current computer, but for some reason, I cannot get the printer to talk to it!

I am in active search for a solution but, in preparation, I believe I will need to close my store down to revamp my packaging along with the restocking/mixing up the foundation/powders I mentioned I was behind on a blog post ago.

Also, upon examining my current stock of basic supplies of colored oxides/micas, I have been dismayed to learn many of my colorants have been discontinued by my suppliers as I made a list for my shopping list--many of these for popular awG blush/eyecolors colors, too!

So in the next few weeks, be expecting some changes: I will have to start transferring colors to the Clearance page and redoing the Color Comparison charts and possibly redoing how I sell samples/full size sets. Also, if I run out of my current labels for my jars, I may just have to let the product run "Out of Stock" until I can get the label dilemma resolved.

In hopes this will give you enough time, be expecting the store to close around  May 20 for the revamping of our line; this would mean if you think you may run out of foundation or a powder around or after then, go ahead and order since it may take us up to a month to implement the changes.

I thought about just letting the store continue to be open for business as I did this but am afraid the turnaround time to ship orders may put me behind, and I personally would work best focusing on one task at a time. If you have noticed, I am around 36-48 hours later than previous years getting orders out since I am budgeting my time a little more conservatively due to other commitments in personal & non-awG related issues, so it might put us a even more behind, which I don't like to do!

Don't forget, I also need this extra time since it does involve a lot of computer work; I am still trying to rest my tendinitis arm like I should--don't want to end up with pain again after working so hard (rather not working, lol) to get rid of it! I am hoping it will not take more than a month to do it, but if it does, don't be surprised. It is way too much fun having adorned with Grace in my life, and to only be working on the technical aspects is not the most fun thing for me. I look forward to coming up with more Limited Edition colors each season as I was in the past and be back to blogging regularly--but most of all, serving my sweet and loyal customers!

Thanks for your patience everyone!

Less than a week before closing!

Just reminding everyone that our store will be temporarily closing this Thursday, Sept. 8 with the last day to shop on Sept. 7. We have added some new Clearance items such as Grab Bags of the discontinued both sample and full-size of Blush & Eyecolors as well as Blush & Eyecolor bundles. Most of these items are going fast so if you would like to get them act soon! However, you may also risk it and wait to save more as we are going to be issuing a discount code either Sept. 4 or 5, so definitely check back here then. As with our other coupon codes, though, because it is a rather large percentage (more so than any other time we've issued them) this will only be for orders $15 or more, so go ahead and order if yours is less than $15 not including shipping. Our powders and foundations and some of the Clearance items are going pretty fast out of stock though so if you don't want to risk running out of inventory, definitely order soon! We want the last couple days to move...
 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...

This has been a LONG time coming....

A little over nine years in fact! I first have to start out with my deepest apologies. When we packed up to move to another state, I had every intention of getting adorned with Grace up and going again, even choosing a house that would allow me to have the space & work area to do so. I even prepared new stock ready so all I had to do was package the items. I even filled out all the Business license, sales tax, and permit forms I needed. But life happened and it got me so sidetracked,that awG got left by the wayside.😢 To make a very long story short, we moved again rather unexpectedly two years later and then have been in jobs and other endeavors that continued to keep me occupied. But I NEVER lost my love for making makeup and, of course, all my loyal & beautiful customers! I knew I would somehow get back on track but never did I ever think that it would be in 2020 that I would begin to do so, when the whole world seemed to turn upside down! But for me personall...
