A Quick Update...

Post by karen » Wed Nov 18, 2009 5:18 pm

We're rolling full speed ahead with the Holiday Collection- it's looking like it will be live sometime this week or weekend. Just a quick update though- the Eye Liner Palettes that you all wanted so dearly HAVE NOT panned out for us the way we had hoped. Packaging is always a challenge for a small company- most custom places want to make 50,000 units- in China with a 3 month lead time.

I had a few suppliers who had some things on the shelf- and so far it just hasn't worked-out quite as planned. I really really really wanted to make these for you- but I also want to completely knock your socks off, amaze, and delight you with them too- and at this point there's just no way I can pull it off for this collection. I *know* you want them- and I have my "ear to the ground" searching for packaging. As soon as the right thing comes along I'll jump on it, and get it on the site- but it may be a while- like several months.

Ah bless you for trying, many wouldn't. You've never disappointed us yet, so whatever's coming will be joyously received as always.

Tomorrow is production day- then taking the pics and loading everything onto the site. It always takes longer than I think it will- each product takes about an hour to list on the site by the time I take all of the pics, edit them, and write all of the descriptions- and I have over 40 things to list. Right now apparently there's another site on our server (not SN...this time) that's hogging the bandwidth- so it's been a little slow. I'm working on a few solutions. I promise to post on my blog as soon as they're all listed and ready to go..it's better if you stalk that because it's on a separate server, and it makes loading the new items go much much faster.

Yes- go to Twilight- and have tons of fun- I don't think you'll miss a whole lot.
