The beginning of some changes....

As you all know, we love to stay simple at adorned with Grace! So in an effort to keep things basic so that it is easier for me to run the company, we are making quite a few changes in the very near future with three things happening as of today:

1. Because we have been getting too many lost orders, we are implementing Shipping Insurance that you can purchase. Before, we would reship orders one time but it is getting too costly for us now to do that. If you chose NOT to purchase this whether you are a US or International Customer, we can no longer reship for free your lost order. Please read the Terms on this page to understand how it works. If it needs further clarification, let us know via email @ adorned_with_grace@yahoo.com.

2.  After many months of debating with myself, I have decided to discontinue selling the Ingenue Dual Fibers, including the Large, Sleek, & Petite. We love our Premium Small Dual Fiber for its high quality (100% vegan, minimal/zero shedding & bleeding) and would prefer to sell Dual Fibers of that same high quality.

We hope to have a Premium Large Dual Fiber maybe by 2012 if the demand for them is still there. For now, they are still priced the same but in the Clearance section. However, there are discounts added in for multiple orders of each item.

3. Discontinuing other items: 30 for $19.99 Sample Set, Flocked Sponges,  & Reclosable Sifters. We will also likely be discontinuing the Spray Bottles, Pencil Sharpener, & Mascara Guard but haven't adjusted this on our site.

It has not been implemented yet, but we will most likely be increasing prices in the next few months. As most of my American Customers have noticed, USPS has kept increasing our Shipping prices (as well as my supplier's rates for the raw materials/jars/shipping supplies that you all may not be as aware of!) while awG's Shipping AND Merchandise price has not changed in the last two years. It won't be significant (maybe nor more than $1 or less each item), but we'll figure out a fair percentage.

Again, all these things are to keep things simple; keeping so much Inventory has gotten to be very overwhelming, especially with Storage & keeping up with stock, and the less stress there is, the most likely we'll be around for a long time! Hope you all understand and know that we did thing very long and hard on these changes! Thanks all!

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 can

No Blog Special, BUT...a Special Article!

Believe It or Not: Words & Their Effect When I was a child, there was a show that my family and I loved to watch called, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” where it showcased scientific marvels, interesting facts in history, and, sometimes, just fun, outrageous stories to excite and amaze its viewers. Well, I recently read an article that I thought would have fit right in with this show called, “Miraculous Messages from Water: How Water Reflects Our Consciousness.” It’s about an experiment conducted by a Japanese scientist where he tested to see the effect of words/thoughts on water. Sounding crazy already, lol? Well, read on as it gets even more interesting as he’s got pictures to prove it… To give a VERY general overview of his experiment ( *Click here to see the entire article ), he has done experiments on the effect of spoken AND written words on water as well as music. I’m just going to share with you some of the pictures of what I found most interesting of the resulting images
