Okay, so I'll ask first - do we get a spring collection?

I'd be excited to see one!

Yes! I'm working on some things now. Before y'all start listing things- I have to make a little list of things that I don't have planned.
1)Nail polish. I love it, but we don't have the space to make it, and I don't want to keep acetone and all of that stuff around the shop.
2) More lip stains. There really isn't a good way to lighten or darken colors to make the tones you really want, and make them stable, and staining. It would be a sub-par product, and I don't want to go there.
3) Pencil anything...lip liners, eye liners. I haven't found any sort of packaging that really impressed me.
Other stuff I've been working on/playing with is going fairly well. I can't make an AHA cleanser with natural thickeners. pH and liquid soaps are tough, and when you throw in starches to thicken it- they just turn into a big mess. It's just something I've never really been able to wrap my brain around.
Other than that list 'em!

Yay! I look forward to Spring and whatever you have in store for us!
I would love to see some products in colors based on this year's Color of The Year - Radiant Orchid

I'd really love a warm version of the cream blush/highlighter trio! Golden highlighter, coral blush with bronzer would be great! I've really gotten into layering cream and powder blushes to make them last, but I feel like I'm missing a few basics on the cream side of things-coral with no shimmer, like poppy, and warm pink-cream version of Petal would be awesome! I'd also love a sheer, no shimmer coral slick stick, like a sheer version of Jane minus any shimmer (more of a jelly). I'd love an eyeshadow in the new orchid theme, especially if the shimmer was minimal! Frosts have been looking really off on me lately, though it could be changing tastes-I like more of a natural looking finish these days.

Hello All,
For Spring...
A hair gel with silk and silicone for shine, smoothness, and hold/control.
A collagen filler cream to plump up wrinkles and lines around the mouth.
I will second the request for more suede finish shadows (I also like Matte Light shadows). I am hoping for crisp colors with minimal brown or grey undertones.
A few dazzling ultra-shimmer shadows for pop and contrast would also be great.
I would like a few shiny shimmer-bomb glosses that will not lighten my lips (I think a clear, colorless background would do it).
More lippie palettes.
More cream-finish lippies--especially a slightly lighter brighter non-ALG version of Nice Tan, and an updated rose shade.
Looking forward to it!

High Shimmer/glittery lipglosses ala Mac Dazzleglasses! I'm in the mood for shimmer!

Hello everyone,
My spring collection wishlist:
-A matte reddish brown eyeshadow would be great- love it in the crease (Makeup Geek Cocao Bear is an example). I have been looking for this color amongst natural makeup companies for a while, no success yet.
-Also, a natural dry shampoo is a must have- would love to try SN's one.
-Natural eyes glitters are always on my wish list. LIT Costmetics makes great natural glitters, but they are on a pricier side.
-I second Oxana's wish for the Orchid collection, especially would love to see an Orchid lipstick.
I am so excited for the Spring Collection!

I'd love a neck serum. I got a bit of sagging and while I know there is no miracle cream out there I'd love to see a neck specific serum!

I'd still love to see some more cream shadows with duochrome!
And cream blushes in compacts. (And on that note, I'd love to see the powder blushes transferred over to cream! Especially the plum, coral and peachy-pink shades! I'm such a klutz, I do much better with cream than powder.
