Some Announcements!

[karen]

Hi,
I've finally rounded the bend a little...we're still catching up on a few things (namely emails), but we're back to "normal" on shipping! Last week I made a few new gumballs- a little bit different kind of sugar scrub, and a shaving bar. The sugar scrub is a semi-solid bar- it has a little bit of soap, shea and cocoa butters. I looove it, and it's so convenient to use. I think the shaving bar is pretty darn fantastic- it has a rich, creamy lather, and it looks so much nicer than a bottle of shaving cream in my shower! They're both vanilla lavender scented.

The solid perfumes are kind of on a rotating basis and I just marked the ones that are probably going away with an asterisk. They'll be up for a couple more weeks (I haven't started to think about new scents yet)- but I thought I'd give fair warning.

I changed the cream blush- this one is a little bit lighter, but still super pigmented, and very very pretty.

We brought back both Strawberries and Champagne and Rich blushes for a little while.

Oooh- and I think I'm planning another round of clones. I have some fragrance clones on tap- but I'm also putting in a MAC order. I've been going through the forum trying to find the requests, but chances are I'll miss a few. If you have a favorite that you'd like to see cloned- list it here, and I'll give it a go!

Take care,
Karen

Ah, very glad to hear you're feeling better, Karen. Still, hope you can take it easy and pace yourself for a few days yet - a cold and the stresses of moving can take a lot out of you without realising it. *hugs*

Any chance you can give the perfume Tahiti a stay of execution for another season? I imagine that a lot of those who chose it free as a prize haven't had to re-purchase it yet, but I most certainly will. It's so wonderful even now, but will be so sensuous as the weather warms and we can have that softly ethereal scent enveloping us in the balmy summer heat. (excuse the daydreaming, it just snowed again here!)

Excited to hear of more gumballs - would love a chance to try the microdermabrasion cream, if you're willing to remake it.

MAC request - any chance of cloning Viva Glam 4. It's very like Berry Nice, as a starting point, but that's a little sheer for the coverage (which on it's own, I love so it's my HG lippy alongside Gold Blush, but a higher coverage for extra oomphf would rock!)

... and more hugs for bringing back the blushes, I know a couple people who will be over the moon about that

Brilliant

Like the sound of the new paler cream blush better than Loverly actually, so will keep my eyes peeled for the return of Rich and Strawberres & Champagne then I can put my order in.

PS thanks for the heads up this morning Helena!

PS - both Rich and Strawberries & Champagne are now back on the site, but NOT in the blush category (oddly enough); you need to type the product name into the 'search' box and it will appear.

I just copied both of these into the main blush category, but not the cool, warm, shimmery,or matte categories.

Yay, yay, yay their back (for a while)

Already placed my order this morning

Did have fun though trying to find dupes for them, which is not as easy as it sounds. Karen's blushes are really one of a kind - I have so many blush samples

If you haven't already put this in your MAC order: Slimshine Bare. If it's not too much trouble Karen I would love a dupe of MAC eyeshadow sweet lust and another slimshine Funshine

How exciting!

I just wanted to say that I love the new cream blush!
My question/request was, do you think there is any way a concealer/luminizer could be made in this cream blush formula?
I found that it was beautifully airy and smooth, and the formula would be wonderful for a concealer.

Thoughts/Requests:
-Mac's Blush in Emote -I think contour/bronzer colors without warm undertones are pretty rare. I think it's a taupe, with more grey undertones.
-Mac Lightfall or Gesso - Matte colors I think are better for subtle highlighting for the brow or inner corner.

-Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb - I love this scent beyond reason. I think a solid version would be beautiful!
-D&G Light Blue - This scent is so popular, and I think would hold well as a solid.
-Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess - I just wanted to try this, and this it's supposed to be summery without being suntan oil-y.


Thanks for the update! I'm so excited for everything!

Hi,

I just received my order and I wanted to say I love "Loverly" and will be putting in another order so I can check out the new cream blush. Loverly kind of reminds me of Crinoline Glow...very pretty.I do hope that you will add these to the permanent line up

Oh, can you add Mac's Russian Red to the clone list? Thanks!

Karen, I don't know if you're taking requests for fragrance dupes but I'll toss this out anyway I have a very good friend who loves this and I'd love to surprise her w/a dupe if possible. If it is, I'll try and get a sample from her to send you. Thanks for listening! Ruby
