makeup your way remix

Ok, so we used to allow customers to customize full face palettes and would call it "makeup your way", which was great, 2 medium pans, and 4 small- perfecto. BUT NOW- makeup really is your way. We have large, medium, and small pans and a ton of different ways to rock them. Compacts, palettes, and pans, oh my!! Our most popular has been the freestyle palette:

because you can put whatever pans you want in there. Awesome! This is a much more eco and wallet friendly approach to makeup as there is less packaging and you only buy the colors you really want. Enjoy!

New lipgloss and lipsticks-COMING THIS MONTH

All natural ingredient, bold color. Don't you just love em?? Swatches coming soon.

Caution: These are not your ordinary lipgloss tubes, no sir (or ma'am). First of all, they are non sticky beautiful shades of gloss but they have a brush applicator at the end instead of that weird lipstick shaped plastic tip that most have. Fabulous right? Try em out. Available in July.

True Life: I have a fear of foundation

Ok, I know I'm not alone here. Here's why I used to be afraid of foundation and how it lead me to our new mineral foundation product today. Once upon a time, I worked in at a local makeup store in South Florida. I used to be the beauty consultant and often worked alone. I remember everytime someone walked in the door, I would pray that they wouldn't be asking me to match their foundation. There seemed to be about 45 different formulas in a million different colors. Finding the perfect match based on a stripe on someone's chin just wasn't cutting it for me. I would get lost in all the colors, formulas, charts, and customer requests. That is, until I discovered mineral foundation. Once, this particular line released a mineral foundation, I was good to go. I matched everyone with it and didn't cringe at the thought.


The reason I love, love, love mineral foundation is because it truely works well on any skin type, no matter the person or age. Also, it has buildable coverage so based on the brush and they way you apply, you can get anything from a sheer look to full coverage and anything in between. And the kicker is the colors! Since mineral foundation is so blendable, you don't need to match the color exactly to your skin!! My prayers had been answered. And now, it's the only foundation I offer in my line. We have a pressed formula for no mess (that was probably my only mineral complaint, was the mess) and 2 brushes to choose from to help you get the coverage you want. Yes, brushes really do make the difference, flat for more coverage and a kabuki for less.

Logo Evolution

Although we haven't been around that long, we've managed to go through a minor identity crisis already. Hey, at least we are admitting it :-) We've got it all figured out now.

So, here's the story: 

This was our first logo. Not so cute, we know. But we liked it for a little while.

We thought that the girl in the first logo was not trendy enough for us. And she was defining our brand too much. This makeup is for everyone, not just people that looked like our little cartoon lady. So we ditched her and were left with this.

After some more thought, we decided that we didn't like the cartoonish letters either. A little too Disney for our crowd. Don't get me wrong, we love Disney, but maybe some of our customers don't right?

So here we are now. We finally did it! We found a logo that doesn't define, just says what it is, plain, simple, and cute. You still might find the previous logos on some items, we still think it looks cute on our full face palettes that are used for studios and teams. But everything else carries this logo now. Love it? We do.

She's an all star on this season of "So You Think You Can Dance".

She says "WELL I CAN SPEAK UPON MY NEWEST PROJECT BUT IT WILL BE ONE OF MY BIGGEST WANTS ITS FINISHED" We can't wait to see what's in store.
