Hi everyone! I hope your summer is going great! We’ve been having so much fun working on new colors and products, I haven’t had time to write until now! There is so much news; I hardly know where to begin! I think I should just take it one step at a time, try to cover everything and hopefully I won’t leave anything out! Here goes…
**NEW Goat Milk Soap**
In late July we started offering our Handmade Goat Milk Soap. If you haven’t seen these handmade soaps yet, please take a look. I know many of you already found them because soaps have been flying out the door! This goat milk soap is TRULY handmade, farm fresh and all natural - we’ve all been using for quite a while and we love it. It feels great and has made a nice difference in the way my skin feels!
Let’s see, there are Unscented, Pearberry (already sold out - more is curing now), Ginger (my personal favorite), Crisp Apple, Spring Shower, and Tahitian Vanilla. And, there are more yummy scents coming including Rose and Almond Honey, so stay tuned for those!
**NEW Eye Colors**
We’ve had lots of requests for new eye colors and boy have we been working on it! Some eye colors are already available and some will be ready in a week or so (sneak a peak below). As usual, your requests were fabulous and all these new shades are so gorgeous, I think you will love them!
–Eye colors available now:
Jo’s Sandcastle - Shimmer
Nikki’s Emerald - Shimmer
Charcoal - Semi-Matte
**NEW Face Colors**
You asked for a deeper, more luminous bronzer and a few more blush choices. Just as you might have guessed - we’ve been working on bronzer and blushes!! One new blush and one new bronzer are available now and more blushes are on the way (sneak a peek below). Great colors!
–Face colors available now:
Gleeful Mauve Blush is a deep, rich mauve with slight brownish undertones. It has a silky matte finish and is much deeper and richer than Dusty Mauve. This is a very pretty blush that’s beautiful on medium to darker skin tones!
Island Princess Bronzer is completely luminous! It’s our deepest bronzer yet and truly gives that glowing island tan appearance you asked for! Gorgeous on medium-light to darker skin tones.
Even if you didn’t request these face colors, you should at least sample them just so you can see how beautiful they really are!!
**SNEAK PEEK**
Here’s a Sneak Peek at what’s coming up next…
Coming Eye Colors:
Sun is pure gold. This sunny gold is nice and shimmery (not metallic) - Such an elegant and pretty eye color!
Wild Thyme is like the beautiful color of the flowers of the Wild Thyme herb. I will get more descriptive soon!
Aurora is a very mysterious shade, which we named after Aurora Borealis (northern lights). My own daughter has been requesting this shade for quite a while and it’s finally right! Initially I thought it would be a strange color that only she would wear - but boy was I ever wrong! Aurora is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! This shimmery and luminous shade is deep blue with hints of majestic purple in a deep charcoal base - so mysterious it is hard to describe!
~~As Kermit says, it ain’t easy being green…But aren’t natural greens wonderful! We have had many requests for richer, deeper greens and we believe, with these new shades of natural green eye color, we have succeeded in meeting (hopefully exceeding) your expectations…
Moss Dark is a beautiful compliment to our Moss Light - and as LadyGecko tells me- isn’t it just about time we had a Moss Dark!? This deep natural moss green shade also looks great used alone or in conjunction with a variety of other colors.
Laceleaf is a rich yellowish-green, matte eye color. This very natural shade was named after the flowers that grow on certain varieties of the Laceleaf Maple tree!
Spruce is a familiar shade that reminds me of the Blue Spruce! Now, if you can’t imagine a Blue Spruce, think big beautiful Christmas tree! Spruce is nice bluish-green eye color with a hint of sparkle. Love it!
Rain Forest is a deep, rich forest green that reminds me of (you guessed it) the rain forest! This lovely matte green goes well with so many other shades; it will be a main stay in your collection!
Coming Blushes:
These 2 coming blushes silky smooth and so very pretty! They will look so beautiful on any skin tone from medium light to darker…
Plum Delight is a beautiful shade of plum that has the slightest pearl shimmer. Glorious day!!!
Pink Jazz is a fabulous rosy pink with a bit of pearl shimmer. So So Pretty!!
There are more blush shades in the works, so if we didn’t cover your request yet - stay tuned because we did NOT forget you!
**Discontinued Minerals**
A couple of our eye color shades are so similar and so infrequently requested, we just couldn’t justify carrying them any longer. This is not a bad thing- it’s Good because it gives us room to bring you all the fabulous new shades you want!
- Now discontinued:
Gold Metallic is gone forever - if you liked this gold metallic eye color, please try our Bronze Metallic! These 2 eye colors are so very similar you may not realize the difference! Try it and I think you will agree!! Honestly, bronze is gorgeous which is probably why it sells so well!!
Light Teal and Key Lime - these eye colors are on sale while supplies last (see Bargain Basement below). While these shades are both very pretty, they are just too light PLUS they are similar to our Moss Light. Moving these light greens out gives us room to grow with the richer greens you asked for!
**Lip Butter**
Oh, we have been working on these for a long time now! They are just about right and you will see them soon. Now, we have been getting requests on colors and we are filling those the best we can. If you have a particular shade you would like to see in a lip butter, please speak up NOW! They will be ready next week and we want to cover as many requests as we can.
**Skin Care**
So much completely natural skin care coming but I’m not quite ready to tell you all about it just yet - please check back on this soon! Many, many wonderful products in the works and all your requests have been considered every step of the way!!! You will be pleased.
**Bargain Basement Is Open**
As of today, the Signature Bargain Basement is open! Find extra special SALE prices on discontinued items AND get any shades that didn’t turn out just right the first time. Yes, sometimes we have OOPS colors. While they are pretty shades, they just weren’t what we were going for sooooo, we decided our loss should be your gain!
Everything in the Bargain Basement is Full Size and priced Right! Just keep in mind; the sale prices on these minerals are only good while supplies last!! When they’re gone, they’re gone!
