More Clearance & Reminder Date of our Temporary Closing

Just wanted to let you all know that the remainder of the Clearance items are finally up! Check them out here on our Clearance page. These are all our past Limited Editions/Clearance and new "Oops" items so hope you all can find something you like. Many of them are being offered basically at cost (including shipping) and some even at a loss to us, but we'd rather pass these on to people who can use them than throw them away!

Judging from the speed of current orders vs. my speed of getting restocked on foundation/powder, it looks like I will need to TEMPORARILY close my store down to give me time to catch up. In addition, we will be going out of town for a few of those days which will likely put us further behind.

You see, when I am low or "out of stock" (meaning not a gram of product left, although I usually have the raw materials to make it), it takes much longer for me to fill out orders since I have to stop and make the batches, jar/bag them, & make labels (if I am low on that particular label which has been happening more often). It can take me up to 3-5 hours extra if I am Out of Stock even on 2-3 colors!

The last few months I have kept my store open since I could handle the extra workload but I am starting to feel it in my elbow again---and I'd rather not re-injure it since rest & recovery was a huge part of getting it better. It's not so bad that I am back in constant pain, but I know the warning signals and would prefer to do preventative that curative measures!

Here are the dates for our Temporary Closing: 
Monday, May 23 to Friday, June 3.

So if you do need to order any items, please do that BEFORE May 22 to ensure that you will get it. We will still answer emails as they come with questions or issues, but our Website will likely have a "Temporarily Down for Maintenance" message or we'll disable the shopping cart.

For you wonderful Bloggers/Video Bloggers, PLEASE make sure your subscribers know of these dates before referring them to our site. We really hate to close the site down as we know we may lose revenue but to get back to our previous efficiency, we will need to do this. As many of you know, we are a hobby business, so we won't run it quite like the larger companies who can afford to pay others to help catch them up, lol...

Thank you all ahead of time for understanding! Have a great rest of the week!

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...
