Dreams About Shoes??!?

So last night/this morning I had a random dream where I was at this discount store that I was at with my family.

I found a pair of red suede thigh highs for $8 that my mother told me to get since A.) there were unique and B.) there were $8. It's just not like my mom to tell me to buy shoes. She's usually telling me to get rid of them, lol.

While looking around I came across many interesting things clothing and shoes wise.... but there were these pairs of shoes that were a peachy pink with a violet duochrome... omg these were amazing with little diamond studs on them.. except for the huge like 10 inch heel!!!! I was like OMG.. . I'd die. . lol

I figured I would share this you :) I totally want to find a pair of peachy pink shoes with a violet sheen . .. ugh I wish I knew how to dye shoes myself or even make them. I would totally do that in a heart beat!

Changes to listings..

I'll be adding if my colors are vegan or not, plus what cosmetic application they are safe for (lips, nails, eyes, face. . ).

I'm starting this today, and I don't know if I'll be able to finish it all tonight.

 

Summer Collection - Psyche Minerals

Since Psyche Minerals was based off of my love for many things "beautiful" including greek mythology, nature, and personal experiences (among other things) I have decided to have a collections based on different species of butterflies. A psyche in mythology means a butterfly (or so I've been told...) sssooo Ta Da - Butterfly Collection for you all!!

I'm going through different species right now, and I will definitely be putting my favorites up of course... but that is a surprise for now :)

New COTW..

Giallo is a beautiful sparkly pale yellow with shimmer. Apply with a damp brush for a more dramatic effect. As with most mineral shadow apply over a base to lengthen the wear of it.

Linnaeus Cosmetics - A Review

I recently purchased the 5 sample set from Linnaeus Cosmetics. It shipped the day after I placed my order, and arrived with in that week. I think $1.50 (shipping) for 5 saples is wonderful.

I ordered...

Cliff Line

Kalahari

Bouffant

Sprightly

Zippy

She threw in Matriarch stated she though I would like it, and to compensate for the rather large sample baggies. I honestly don't mind the larger sample baggies. I'm just happy to have my samples.

I love the colors I got. For someone who recently has been wearing more neutrals as opposed to all the bright colors I used to wear, the ones I purchased were really beautiful.I've already worn them 3-4 days out of the week, and I really relly love them.

I've used Kalahari all over the lid with Cliff Line on the middle and outter lid, and sprightly in the outer V and blended into the crease.

Cliff Line all over the lid with Zippy on the outer third and blended into the crease.

Bouffant all over the lid with Matriarch on the middle and outer lid with Sprightly on the outer lid and blended up into the crease.

Those are the three ways I've tried so far... I really want to grab some more colors, but it's so hard to pick.

I'd purchase from Linnaeus Cosmetics again .. hopefully soon so I can get the full sizes of me samples ^_^

I must add the Marin of Linnaeus Cosmetics is a pleasure to work with, and has great communication. She contacted me thanking me for my purchase, and that when she gets a chance (and some play $) she'd love to grab some of my colors as well. That makes me super happy!!

New spin on monthly favorites...

So I decided instead of diong a Monthly Favorites post each month I am going to do them every three months, and try to keep them seasoned themed. So I'll have another one at the end of june/begining of july. 

My favorites for Spring are...

Nars Orgasm Blush

Tarte Exposed Amazonian Clay Blush

MAC Creme D' Nude Lipstick

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick

MAC Handwritten

MAC Swiss Chocolate

MAC Blanc Type

MAC Copperplate

MAC Sable

LUSH Breath of Fresh Air Toner

LUSH Skin's Shangri La

Sephora by OPI "Leotard-Optional"

Sephora by OPI "Where's My GPS"

Mineral Fusion Volumizing Shampoo

Mineral Fusion Volumizing Conditioner

Totally not about makeup, but about gaming (WOW)

So because I'm someone who in the past has played such PC games as Diablo (1 & 2), Ever Quest, and Guild Wars I deiced to pick up World of Warcraft (since the 14 day trial was only $1.59).

Not that I have a lot of time to devote to it, but it's something I have always wanted to try. I've known a lot of people who have played it, and love it ^_^ So here goes nothing!!

I would never talk about a buyer. . but . .

I stumbled across a blog which remain nameless that had commented on a package she revceived from me. She said something to the effect of it being a pain to order from me just to get full sizes. She must have ordered somewhere in late December early January because I had just "opened" October and wasn't fully equiped for full sizes nor did I offer them (since I didn't have them).

Honestly why would I go a head and buy full size jars if I didn't think I was going to sell them. My company could have totally tanked, and I would have things I'd never end up using.

She made some other comment about my hardwritting being illegible. Yes I do hand write me own lables since it is cost effective. I don't make a ton of money for what I do currently so I put all my effort/money into creating the shadows, and making amazing colors in my opinion. Also I'm barely ever somewhere where I have acess to a printer. I do everything through my phone, and fill orders

The only other "complaint" I ever have received was a girl who didn't know my samples came in baggies, and was suprised when her order arrived. She left neutral feedback, which I asked about. I do put in each sample listing the my samples come in small plastic baggies with 1/4 tsp of product.

Everyone IS intitled to THEIR opinions. I have NOTHING against that. I think that many buyers can attest to the fact that it's easy to work with me as I LOVE working with my customers. I love talking to them, helping them out, getting their feedback, and following up ony any, if at all, issues that occure. I keep them updated on their purchases, and convo them the DC# once it has sent. Again, I'm not trying to say in this that people are wrong, just that they may not know the circumstances around ordering a product from me. In that case I am not than happy to fill them in, and be completely open and honest about everything.

*Sephora*

- Nars Orgasm Blush

- Issy L'Eau Florale

*MAC*

- MSF Natural - Medium Light

- MSF Natural - Medium Dark

Mineral Fusion Hair Care

I came across a brand called Mineral Fusion which at the time I only thought they had body wash. I soon came to realize that they had hair care as well. At my local Meijer they are $9.99 a piece, and well that's just a little too much since I just normally use Organix or whatever is around the house. It was put on sale for $3 off at $6.99 a piece so I figured "Why not?".

The body wash I'm not to crazy about since I do have eczema, but the Volumizing shampoo ans conditioner are fanstastic. I notice my hair feels fuller after using it, and it is super soft which I love since Organix leaves mt hair super tangled...

I can't seem to find the ingredients on their website. All it says is:

":: Minerals help strengthen and maintain healthy hair by defending against the impurities and sun exposure we encounter every day.
:: Safe for color-treated hair.
:: Added hydration and nourishment from organic Aloe, Cranberry, Jojoba, and Flax Seed.
:: Two hair treatments: Fortifying and Volumizing."

I went on their website to find out that which that have hair and body care they also have a line of cosmetics. You can check it out at their website www.mineralfusion.com

If you find it on sale somewhere I highly suggest giving it a try. My local Meijer only has the Volumizing one, but I'd love to give the other a try.

Don't forget about Orion Slave the COTW

Orion Slave is currently being offered at $1.75 as opposed to $3 for a full size only until Midnight since Iit'll be changed over to a new color for Friday.  So take advatage of this while you still can :)

Seafoam Monster

I tried to be cute with naming this color... :)

Seafoam Monster is a beautiful muted sea foam green color with a satin finish.

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, bismuth oxychloride, ferric ammonium ferrocyanide, ultramarines, caranuba wax.

3 colors I've been working on

Here's sneak peek at three new colors I have been working on. They are nice and shimmery, not glittery since I haven't put any in yet.

Enjoy!

How to decide when choosing etsy/indie companies

I always go to Phyrra.net or LeGothique.com before purchasing anything to see if they or bloggers they know have dealt with them before.

I know a lot of you who have purchased from me before also choose other mineral/etsy shops, and I thought this would help you all out.
