Off to a Walking Start

So I've been back in business about a month now. Things have been sllllooooowww, both on Etsy and on Hyena Cart. I know a lot of that is because I've been so busy and haven't been listing things as much as I should. I am making new things and having a ball though!!

Lipstick has been my new creative outlet! So far I've come up with 4 colors and I'm trying to come up with names at the moment so I can list them :) I have many more color ideas running through my head too. The trouble with being creative is that many times all the ideas running around in your head keep you awake at night... *yawn*

I also am trying to work on new photos for my items. I would love some catchy ideas for photographing makeup if you have any! I have to work on capturing the colors accurately and artistically. My pics look blah to me right now, but maybe that's because I've been looking at them for years already! Time for some updated pics ;)

Anyway, all that to say I feel like I am off to a walking start, not at all a running start. It's a very slow walk LOL, but at least I am not standing still ;)

Ooo La La!

Perfect Pearl Primer

I've been wanting to make a primer for a while, since many have requested one! Although you can use my Mineral Glow Veil as a primer as well, some with very dry sensitive skin may find it too drying. This new primer is the perfect solution! It is a luxurious blend of Silk and Pearls, which both aid in rejuvenating your skin, controlling shine and minimizing imperfections. I now use this product under my foundation during the day and also at night before bed as a skin care treatment. My skin has never been softer!!!

In addition to this amazing new primer, I also created a new foundation formula! Moisture Max Foundation is especially tailored to those with dry sensitive skin. It does not contain any of the ingredients that some may find too drying, like silica or kaolin clay. Instead it has a luscious creamy feel to it and gives a gorgeous youthful appearance to dry skin! I have dry skin myself and really love this foundation. And, the best part is, I was able to make all the same shades as the Mineral Silk Foundation!! So if you need a more moisturizing foundation it will be easy to transition to this new formula!

I am really excited to offer you these new products! I hope you love them as much as I do ;) ~Lucy

New Vegan Goodies!

Berry Smooth Lip Tint

Lemon Cream Lip Balm

Here are my new AMAZING vegan lip products! I am loving them both! I will also be transitioning some of my current colors into vegan/all natural versions after I sell out of the ones I have made up now :)

In other vegan news, I just made up a batch of No Offense Vegan Deodorant in Perfect Peach! Why Perfect Peach? Well, I needed a deo for myself and I was in a peachy mood. I even made some of my Hair and Body Spray in Perfect Peach too, for scent layering purposes ;)

I'll be listing the deo and spray soon! As soon as I can get some photos of them. You see, my camera broke from someone dropping it one too many times (no names). And so I am forced to use my husband's camera to take my product shots now. The problem? Well he is hardly ever home and uses his camera for work... *sigh* But he said he will leave it here for me tomorrow :)

Ok, now I need to cook some actual food and stop making other things... for a little while at least :D

Been So Busy!

I've had a plan in my mind for a while now; to organize my shop, get rid of some things, post some new things, make new color charts, etc. But life keeps getting too busy to get this done and I keep putting it all off. *sigh*

So, even though I had planned on getting all this done this month, looks like maybe it will happen next month. I did start a new blog today though, which I have been wanting to do! It's all about my backyard :D which is part of why I have been so stinkin busy! Check it out it out here if you would like ;)

Ya know, sometimes I think I need to hire an assistant. This whole one woman show thing isn't working! Ahh, well, at least I have a job! Which is a blessing :D

Shop Open and Some Other News!

My shop is now back up and running!! Yay!! I am still not totally back to normal though, so I will only be shipping two days a week for a while; Tuesday and Saturday.

I am also having a FREE SHIPPING SALE from now till January 15th!! It's my way of saying Happy New Year and getting 2010 off to a good start :)

Other things to look for in January, I will be introducing several new products! I have what I call my Happy Face line coming to the shop soon. It's an amazing facial line for blemished or unbalanced skin and includes an astringent and a facial lotion, which can be used with either our Tea Tree Face Soap or our Gentle Face Soap.

My testers are in love with this facial set and I can't wait to share it with you all!! I have been using it too, even on my extremely sensitive dry skin it works great! Both the astringent and the lotion are blended with wonderful essential oils that aid in balancing the skin.

I will also be listing my two new colors; Pickles and Pretty, so keep an eye on the shop! And I am working on a NEW foundation for dry skin!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Lucy :)
