Upcoming Vacation & Explanations

So sorry for the very quiet absence everyone but this has been one full and very busy summer! And we believe our schedule is about to get busier...

From August 16-28, we will be going out of town and temporarily closing the store; the first part is an Out-of-Town trip for my Birthday (Yipee!) and then the last part is for a VERY special Wedding...my mother-in-law's! Rather than fall behind as we usually do when we keep our store open, we are going to close it down.

You may have noticed that the Samples & Foundation/Powder sets have been removed from our site? Right now, there are several factors (which we chose not to disclose at this time) that are preventing us from manufacturing more products so we are trying to keep a closer check of our Inventory. Because of that, we have to sell what items we do have and because it is difficult to track inventory for the sets/samples (our website is not equipped to track inventory when purchased in sets, unfortunately).

However, you can still purchase at discounted prices as we added an automatic percentage off with multifple purchases of Foundation/Powder. Just play with the cart and you'll see there will still be at least 15% off when buying more than two foundations/powders, and a little bit more when buying three or more (either 20-25%). The pricing will be somewhat similar to what the previous sets offered.

But in case you all were wondering, the issues are NOT due to any legal issues or government regulations. We wish we could disclose more but for now this is all we can say. We have gotten emails from many of you asking about the Samples, but if you just stay tuned to our Blog, we'll let you know as soon as we can about the status.

Also, we did change our Shipping Insurance rates. Sadly, it seems International mail has not been quite as careful lately, and especially with our very low prices and current shipping rate, we are losing money. :( Rather than quit shipping to International countries altogether, we decided to increase the rate. See new choices here: Shipping Insurance

Please also remember, that we ask you to wait exactly eight weeks or more from when we shipped your order before contacting us.  As stated in our terms in the Product Description, we will not address emails if they are sent sooner. Obviously, if you do not purchase Shipping Insurance, we cannot resend/refund your order; you can email us, but there will be nothing we can do. :(

Lastly, the single eyecolors and blushes that are in the Clearance section? What does not sell by August 15 (before the temporary closing) will be placed in "Grab Bag" sets when we return--so if there is a color that you wanted specifically, make sure to get it before then, or you can risk it and hope it ends up in one of our Grab Bag sets. We would PLEASE like to ask you NOT to email us and ask us to try to include certain colors or set aside specific ones; we will not reply to any emails regarding these Clearance colors. 

Understand that the Grab Bags are priced very inexpensively and that is part of the reason why--also, that is excitement of Grab Bag sets...you are surprised at what you get!

So, that is it for now! Thanks for your patience everyone!

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...

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...
