A tiny new collection!
Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:46 pm
I apologize for sneaking up on you with this collection. I *wasn't* 100% sure I could pull it off in time, but it finally came together! The new liquid glosses are packaged in slightly larger tubes, they're longer and a bit skinnier- about the same size as the slimline tubes. The balms are packaged in clear tubes, and the Butter Creams are packaged in our standard black slimline tubes. There's something else, but I can't remember it off the top of my head...I'm sure I'll be back to update you soon!
From my blog:
I've just added a teeny tiny new collection of lippies to the site. It's a warm-up, an appetizer, an "amuse bouche" if you will. DH and I are leaving for vacation on Monday- and I debated a lot about releasing a new collection before we left- generally vacations bring out a ton of new ideas BUT because of the timing of our vacation it felt like Summer would be half over by the time I got back and had a new collection to put out.
So, the compromise is a small collection followed up by another one sometime around the beginning of August. Today we're releasing some new Butter Creams, new Liquid Glosses, and 3 new balms. From now until I come back from vacation (July 7th) we'll be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Butter Creams & new Liquid Glosses to the National Wildlife Federation to assist with the Gulf Coast cleanup.
The new liquid glosses are slick, pigmented and 100% natural. There isn't a single bit of petroleum in it and frankly, I don't think it needs it. Every once in a while we get asked to add some good old fashioned Vaseline or mineral oil to some products, and I just can't bring myself to do it. EWG rates most of the mineral oil derivites like Hydrogenated Polyisobutene as "harmless" but I can't look at what's going on in the Gulf and think that it's harmless. I think it's going in the wrong direction, and the technology is advancing so quickly that I'm hoping petroluem products become obsolete- sooner rather than later.
In honor of the 4th of July we'll also be donating lip balms to the troops through Soldier's Angels. For every 4 balms we sell we'll donate a tube of balm to soldiers who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And we're having a contest! It's design your dream collection contest, and it's going on in our forum right now. We're keeping it open until Saturday, and then we'll setup a poll on the forum so you can vote for your favorite collection. I'll make the winning entry- and if yours is chosen you get all of the products for free!
Once again I'd like to thank you for your support- I'm hoping we can make this a great summer!!!!!
