I've been working at a cafe pub for the last month and a half. They're starting the new waiters team at the moment and I don't have a schedule yet, I have to be on watch in case they need me and work the WHOLE weekend. I'm not complaining though, I like the place and while some coworkers suck and the beginning wasn't easy, we're getting rid of the mean useless ones and getting in some awesome people.<br />
<br />
I really need to take pics of the inside of the pub, I'm sure you'll like it as much as I do!<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I'm so glad that I finally found a job :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
I haven't had time for anything lately but I'm trying to settle in and figure out how to adapt Lost in Makeupland to it.<br />
<br />
Now, onto the news you're interested in, I already have a domain and hosting service for LiM and both my shop and blog will soon be there and with a whole new image for the company that I hope you love as much as I'm loving it at the moment. This wouldn't be possible without the help of the wonderful Luna from <a href="http://toxid-lotus.net/" target="_blank">Toxid-Lotus</a>, not only is she lovely and does the BEST swatches, she also has a great eye for design and she's doing an amazing work. I SO can't wait to show you, I'm so excited about it!!<br />
<br />
While I'll keep my Etsy shop open, I want to eventually be able to close on Etsy and only keep the webshop. Sales and specials will only be available at the webshop.<br />
<br />
I think that's it for today, stay tuned because I have a lot coming soon!<br />

So many things have happened in my life and with Lost in Makeupland that it'd take forever to write them and you'd get bored almost instantly.<br />
<br />
Many of you know I've been through really tough times but here I am fighting and strong and trying to make things right and to do new stuff that's exciting for me (and hopefully for you too) :)<br />
<br />
I have a lot of posts scheduled and hope I can slowly and finally can go back to blogging and have a real interaction with you people in here.<br />
<br />
To start I'm going to do a little wrap-up so you know the most important stuff that happened while I neglected the blog.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmsNYgN3Q_NUlS1X5yQQDwLj_pqzUjWmpcPPrMHdyl3ay0MndhGZOC28ySIHyCCP_7pFdcDyNOncf7hV7d5T3e7WR-XdgWsVBuz7ioYNHQZZNPzL7CDEjf-ypMkkO4v_VtZQFRG97IuHk/s1600/rock+my+look+v2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="67" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmsNYgN3Q_NUlS1X5yQQDwLj_pqzUjWmpcPPrMHdyl3ay0MndhGZOC28ySIHyCCP_7pFdcDyNOncf7hV7d5T3e7WR-XdgWsVBuz7ioYNHQZZNPzL7CDEjf-ypMkkO4v_VtZQFRG97IuHk/s400/rock+my+look+v2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
The much anticipated <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7630521">Rock My Look v2.0 was FINALLY released on January 31th</a>. Containing twelve eyeshadows and a bonus track, this collection is larger than its first part and I've tried to make it easy to match most of the colors to the previous RML. While I had material and formulated stuff to make it bigger, I've saved the rest of products for the future.<br />
<br />
Something new in this collection is that <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91835373/neutral-taupe-eyeshadow-serial-killer">I've been playing with neutrals with a twist</a> and I've also formulated some <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91836332/pastel-lilac-eyeshadow-tired-of-england">sheerer colors</a>, which is something I'm loving, formulating different textures and trying to achieve different finishes. I always formulate everything from scratch, and you really learn a lot whenever you try something different than your usual.<br />
<br />
I owe you another post with all the swatches and where the inspiration for them comes from (and another one for the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7590899">Nostalgia collection</a> too!) and some looks.<br />
<br />
This brings up another topic.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Better now?</span></div>
<br />
As you may have noticed (or if you have read <a href="https://twitter.com/lostmakeupland">my twitter</a> lately) I'm changing my swatching method because some people don't use primers or don't use their eyeshadows foiled and I'm aware that may make them feel disappointed when they receive them and they don't look like my swatches. To give the most accurate possible info I've decided to change the way I do my swatches. I'll swatch everything dry without primer, over a primer (TFSI unless stated otherwise) and foiled (over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy unless stated otherwise), like in this picture so you can see the different results you'll achieve depending on the way you apply them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm working on bringing that back and making it a permanent and monthly thing on the blog and the shop. I know I still have to draw a winner <a href="http://lostinmakeupland.blogspot.com/2011/09/product-of-month-september-2011.html">from Volta's month</a> and I will asap and write a post about it and contact the winner so they get their prize. After that, I'll get everything ready to start in March with the next.<br />

I've been hinting that I have another project I'm working on lately, and didn't really give out more info about it other that<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7491744"> I've been posting some little pieces of jewelry at my LiM shop</a>.<br />
<br />
They're a little preview of what will come whenever I'm ready for it, I have to be honest and I don't know when I'll be able to do all the branding and packaging for this new project and I want a REALLY extensive stock before opening its separate shop, so far I have 20 designs ready but only 6 on the shop. This project doesn't have a final name yet either.<br />

The much awaited Nostalgia: When I Was Young collection, four new Whipped highlighters, three finishing veils and the finishing powder for oily skin <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7590899">are finally available in my Etsy shop</a>!<br />

This collection was troublesome for me even to chose its name! I doubted between two until the last minute almost, and some of you may have received free samples with the name Nostalgia: Once Upon a Time. I settled for When I Was Young, but there'll be a Once Upon a Time collection too ;)<br />

Until I can get a hold of a shipment of 10 gram jars (if you follow me on Twitter you've probably seen me complain about a completely crazy ripoff shipping cost that's keeping me from buying them) it'll only be available in sample size at $2. I hope this gets solved asasp, I'm currently waiting on TKB's answer to my email regarding this issue and getting angrier by the day.<br />

Do you love <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7767965">Lost in Makeupland's f</a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7767965">inishing powders</a> but want to add a little touch of light to your skin? The Finishing Veils are just perfect for it!<br />
<br />
They're available in three different shades: English Rose, Faerie and Glow, and same as the regular finishing powders, they're also available for normal to dry, normal to combination and oily skin.<br />
<br />
They won't make you shimmery or look oily, they just have the barest hint of light for them to look natural and make your complexion glow.<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's all for the September releases... Next time will be for Halloween, but there won't be a Halloween themed collection, though I can I can assure you it'll be AMAZING. I'll post swatches in the following weeks because you know I'm a tease!<br />
<br />
What do you think of the new products? Which ones appeal to you the most? Which are your musts? Your less favorite ones? You know I love knowing what you think!<br />

After a terrible summer and a chaotic month of August, things are coming back to its place and I'm feeling great, happy and full of positive energy.And I want to share all the good things coming from me with you :)<br />
<br />
One thing I want to state is that this week my Paypal account was hacked and emptied and the limitation hasn't been taken off yet (not funny at all when you need that money and need supplies) so I'm very low in 10 gram jars and have no actual way to pay for more. Hope to fix that during this next week. When I run out of them, 10 gr jars will be put out of stock to avoid delays in my turnaround time.<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago, there was a huge scandal in ArtFire. Due to a security branch information from customers was revealed to others. After that, ArtFire dealed (or should I say didn't deal with) that situation and had a quite nasty response.<br />
<br />
I find this unacceptable and won't continue selling there, and I'm not the only one who has decided to move out from there, other shops like <a href="http://ohwto.com/">OHWTO</a> (go buy some Black Magic Soap and amazing solid scents!!). From now on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?ref=pr_shop_more">I'm only selling on my Etsy shop</a> and hope to also open my own web shop really soon.<br />
<br />
If you want to know more about this, <a href="http://cupcakesquirkycorner.blogspot.com/2011/08/sunday-sprinkles-artfire.html">go over to read this super complete post on what happened</a>. There's a ton of info and screencaps so you can see the whole mess created.<br />

Next Monday, September 5, will be an important day for Lost in Makeupland. Why? Because it's the final launch date of the Nostalgia collection, the new Whipped highlighters, the Finishing Powder for oily skin and the finishing veils in English Rose, Faerie and Glow.<br />
<br />
If you want to try them asap, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80854803/eyeshadow-and-highlighter-collection-pre?ref=pr_shop">you can get a pre-release sample pack</a> with the Nostalgia collection and the new Whipped highlighters for only $10 (you save $9) . As soon as the collection is released, it won't be available anymore.<br />
<br />
I've said earlier in this post that I'm very low on 10 gram jars at the moment, so none of the new products will be available in that size until I get them restocked. Highlighters will be available in sample size and 5 gram size while the finishing powder and finishing veils will remain in sample size until then.<br />

The first Product of the Month is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64427206/blackened-purple-eyeshadow-volta-rock-my">Volta</a>. it was a bit hard to chose but it's one of my most popular shades so why not start with it?<br />
<br />

Volta is one of the eye shadows from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7630521">Rock My Look Collection</a>, a bright, dark blackened eggplant purple. It's got a bit of shimmer to it and reflects light amazingly. As you can see, it's got a strong black base that makes it perfect for smokey looks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I won't lie when I say I LOVE it and it's one of the shades I use the most, specially as an eyeliner due to it's thick dark consistency and the way the color suits me. You can use it wet as an eyeliner or over the whole lid for an ultra intense result, on top of a dark base for an super smokey look, on its own on the lid, on top of a light base for a brighter result. It will never disappoint you!<br />
<br />
It works great on any skin tone and is flattering on every eye color, specially green eyes. It's deep and beautiful, what else can you ask for?<br />

<br />
<div align="center">
<i>Mica, titanium oxide, carnauba wax, boron nitride, iron oxide, tin oxide, ultramarines, magnesium stearate, carmine.</i></div>
<br />
Volta contains carmine, so it isn't vegan. It also contains ultramarines, which means it's not safe for lip use either.<br />
<br />
<b>PLEASE keep these facts in mind when you buy a product, and don't use it if you're sensitive to any of the ingredients or use it where it's not approved. </b>We indie companies have to inform you, but you have to be responsible and know what you're buying and make sure it's safe for you.<br />

The Rock My Look collection is a music inspired one, based on some of my favorite bands and songs ever and the colors they bring to my mind when I listen to them. Every shade was named after a band or song.<br />
<br />
You can see more detailed info on the inspiration behind the Rock My Look collection and more swatches <a href="http://lostinmakeupland.blogspot.com/search/label/Rock%20my%20Look">in this post</a> where I even gave links to music videos.<br />
<br />
Volta was named after the band The Mars Volta. They're amazing, pure genius, and if you don't know them by now you should. I wanted to create a color that expressed everything they bring to my mind when I listen to the and I'm pretty proud of the result.<br />

I must be the biggest slacker ever, because it's been two months since I last updated my blog. Bad, bad Belén! I've started to write blog posts lots of times, but they didn't seem to fit in when they were finished so they got deleted and forgotten. I have lots of things to tell, but will try to keep everything as short and sweet as possible.<br />
<br />
I haven't been very active on <a href="http://twitter.com/lostmakeupland">Twitter</a> either, because I didn't want too many distractions.<br />
<br />
I've been extremely busy with my personal life lately, I've taken important decisions about my education (I've signed to do a course to do an exam and access a superior education), it's also been taxes time, the local festival and my birthday which also happened in the middle of an order rush (because that's how life is!). I'm also searching for a job very actively which is also consuming a lot of my time. Sadly, unemployment salaries don't last forever :(<br />

<br />
Besides that, I've also been working a lot on my company. The upcoming collection and new products should have been released by June 27th, but I've decided to hold everything back until I receive some supplies (sample labels and some micas I need for some of my most popular products). I think that's the wisest thing to do. Product pictures will be up next week though with color descriptions and a nice presentation of the upcoming releases and as soon as I'm ready they'll be released.<br />
<br />
It'd be much easier to release everything when I meant to and try to sort it out, but I honestly try to do things the right way and I want this release to be as amazing as I know it can be. It's so hard to keep everything so secret!<br />
<br />
One of the big releases will be the Finishing Powder for Oily Skin. The lovely Stephanie from <a href="http://ravenandtherose.blogspot.com/">The Raven And The Rose</a> offered to test it and the results couldn't be better! She followed through the whole process on her blog and you can read her conclusions and <a href="http://ravenandtherose.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-lost-in-makeupland-finishing.html">review on this post</a>. It makes me super happy to see that she keeps on using it daily on her LOTDs :) By the way, take a look at her blog for lots of indie swatches and her lovely looks and also her writing blog, which I find super interesting.<br />

The amazing <a href="http://phyrra.net/">Phyrra</a> featured me on her <a href="http://phyrra.net/2011/06/independent-spotlight-lost-in-makeupland.html">June's Independent Spotligh</a>t. It was super fun answering her questions.<br />
<br />
You know her blog is one of my favorites so I'm super happy she offered to feature me. If you want to know me a little better and hear some fun facts about my life and company, don't hesitate to read it :)<br />

I've announced it on <a href="http://twitter.com/lostmakeupland">Twitter</a> before, but it's going to be a reality. From now on, I'll start a little reward program on <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">my ArtFire shop</a>. What does this mean? It means that when you buy from my shop, you'll accumulate points you'll be able to change for products. I need to write a more exhaustive post on that so everything is clear, but just so you have an idea, if you spend $10 dollars on my shop (shipping not included), you'll get 1 point, if you spend +$20 you'll get two. They'll be converted into dollars later, which means that when you have 6 points you can chose a free full size eyeshadow or a sample pack in your next order for example.<br />
<br />
I have to give it a try and figure out the best way to make it work, but I think for the moment it's a nice addition to my service and hope you appreciate it as much as I appreciate your support. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THERE!<br />

Starting in August, every month will be dedicated to one product. It will be any of my products, ranging from eyeshadows to highlighters without forgetting about blushes. I'll pick a shade every month and will post weekly about it. I'll post pics, the story behind the shade, EOTD's and will give away a full size of that product to one of you. In addition, that shade will be 20% off during the whole month.<br />
<br />
That's it for today, I'll leave you with a (bad quality) picture from last weekend, I went camping on the beach to somehow celebrate my birthday (which was last Wednesday) and had this nice fire (which doubled as a BBQ when we added these big wooden pieces) I couldn't help but photograph with my iPhone. Looking at fire is so relaxing...<br />

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway <3Lost in Makeuplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257760332340283167noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184488070310523875.post-70042145393163693532011-05-05T17:29:00.000+01:002011-05-05T17:29:09.813+01:00Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick Swatches - Round Two!Some time ago, I posted swatches of the four <a href="http://www.morganacryptoria.com/Vegan-Lipstick-Gloss_c_11.html">Morgana Cryptoria </a>lipsticks I owned back then (<a href="http://lostinmakeupland.blogspot.com/2011/01/love-comes-in-red-bullet.html">click here to see them</a>). After that, I ordered several samples to try out a lot of shades I liked. Today I'm swatching them.<br />
<br />
These colors (except Gilded Ballerina which I bought a full size tube) were applied with a finger (GB was applied directly from the tube). I find Morgana's lipsticks are best applied from the bullet, if you have any weird edges or feel like you need to fill in a little spot, go over it with a little lipstick brush then the bullet, I think that's how they work the best. If you see any uneven parts it's due to the camera and that I didn't take the biggest care in applying them since I was going to take them off immediately.<br />
<br />Samples aren't available anymore, but <a href="http://asecretfanbase.50webs.com/swatches/index.html">there is an ultra helpful page where you can see swatches of every lipstick</a> taken from different blogs, which means you'll see how they look in different lightings, lips and skin tones.<br /><br />On to the swatches!<br />
<br />
<strong>SANGRIA</strong><br />
I get 3-4 hours of wear with this one. It's one of my favourites, GORGEOUS!!! It's beautiful and flattering and goes perfect with a a fuchsia blush. I need to get a full size of this.<br />

<strong>SUNSET PEACH</strong><br />
This color doesn't suit my coloring, but it doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. What I do to be able to use it is apply it very lightly on top of a fuchsia lipstick or as a mere stain on my lips under a bright gloss. I've worn it at home for a good 3 hours.<br />

<strong>VERY STRAWBERRY</strong><br />
LO-LO-LOVE it!! This one is very similar to Very Cherry, but much pinker while Cherry is redder. You need it, and that's all I need to say about it. It's one of the most moisturizing lipsticks I've tried from Morgana. I get over four hours of wear with this one.<br />

<strong>GILDED CERISE</strong><br />
The picture makes the lipstick no justice. It has a light gold shift which I couldn't capture with the cam but looks gorgeous in person. If you are warm toned, you'll love it. I get about 4 hours of wear with it, it also feels especially moisturizing.<br />

<strong>ROSES AND VIOLETS</strong><br />
This is one of my favorites. It's perfect for any look, both soft, bright and dark smokey. I've used it in any look you can think of. This one lasts around 4 hours on me. It has the prettiest violet shift to it and feels amazing on the lips.<br />

<strong>DIANTHUS</strong><br />
This one is beautifu. A cool metallic rose. Since I don't feel comfortable with a metallic look on my lips, I like to use a fuchsia gloss on top. I get 3-4 hours of wear wearing it alone, with a gloss around 2-3. Reeeeally flattering on my skin tone.<br />

<strong>ROSE PLUM </strong><br />
This is a gorgeous "neutral". It doesn't look as reddish as on my swatch IRL, it's a bit lighter, imagine your lip color a couple of tones darker. It's perfect for any kind of look and I use it constantly. I get 3-4 hours of wear and have purchased a full size tube of it.<br />

<strong>MOCHA BLAST</strong><br />
I wouldn't wear this one as is outside because I'm not comfortable with dark colors on my lips and makes me look vampy, but I've used it as a stain under a red gloss and love the result. It's got a beautiful red shine to it and it's really creamy. I haven't fully tested how long it lasts, but after two hours I had it on it looked exactly the same as applied.<br />

<strong>COCOA</strong><br />
This shade is underrated. It's PERFECT. I can say without a doubt this is my favourite your lips but better lipstick, a perfect neutral I feel is great for any skin tone. It's a rosy brown that feels and look beautiful. I get 3-4 hours of wear from it and had to order a full size since I'm almost out of it. I won't be happy if it ever gets discontinued.<br />

<strong>GILDED BALLERINA</strong><br />
This is the only full size I purchased. It's BEAUTIFUL I love it, yet it doesn't completely suit me since it's a tiny bit too light for me. What I do is layer it on top of Azalea blue or Cocoa so I can wear it. I get 3-4 hours of wear with it. It's a beautiful color which suits many looks.<br />

That's all! I've ordered one more, Pumpkin Eater, so I'll swatch it for you when I have it.<br />
<br />
Have you tried the new Morgana lipsticks? Which one is your favorite? What ideas do you come up with when a lipstick doesn't suit you and you want to adapt it to your skin tone?<br />

So, what do you think? Have you found something interesting on Etsy lately, new shops you want to share?<strong> </strong>Lost in Makeuplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257760332340283167noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184488070310523875.post-42389001990998545672011-05-02T19:07:00.000+01:002011-05-02T19:07:41.001+01:00It's Monday at Makeupland (Weekly Lost in Makeupland post)<br />
I'm very excited this week and it hasn't almost started! First of all, as you may know already, I released the Alice's Chains collection, I'm working on a nostalgic collection (I've posted a few pictures on Twitter today) that will be released by the end of May/start of June. It has been in the works for a long time, but I've been holding up on it for outer reasons I won't go into.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on new blush and face powder shades, lipbalms (which I'm going to start shipping to my volunteer testers) and will soon ask you all out for help on a beautiful project I already talked about on Twitter. If you follow my tweets, you've already seen when I asked you out for your stories on cat adoption. I'll talk more openly about the whole project and how it's going to be done, but in a few words, I want to put all your stories and mine together into a little ebook that would be donated to an animal shelter (I've contemplated selling it and donating the benefits but I want no shadow of doubt over myself and my honesty) and besides that I'll make an eyeshadow collection as a tribute to these cats. I'll give you more details in a while, but hope everybody is as excited about it as I am. :)<br />
<br />
Now for the news!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Bye, bye sifters!!</span></b><br />
<br />
I've already started to replace sifters in 5gram jars with shrink bands. This means that jars will be full and closed. Price will stay the same for them $5.99. I still have to update all my listings and include this info so there aren't any unhappy clients.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Weekly Sale</span></strong><br />
<br />
I already posted about it (typo included lol!), until May 8th all orders over $15 (before shipping) get a free surprise gift!! ;) It's valid on both my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">ArtFire</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland">Etsy</a> shops.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Doesn't look like it, but it's spring! Giveaway time!</span></b><br />
<br />
Usually here in Spain when April comes weather becomes super sunny and we have nice temperatures. This year it hasn't been like that. It's been raining, dark, quite cold a lot of days.. not what spring is supposed to be at the south of Spain.<br />
<br />
Still, I'm stubborn and want to wear bright colors and cheer myself through makeup. During this month I'll be uploading looks using colors I like for spring. For me, it's time for yellows (am I the only sucker for yellow eyeshadow out there?), neons, oranges and strong lips (bold pink and ooooh I SO want to get my hands o a Morgana Cryptoria's orange lippie!).<br />
<br />
Which leads me to the following... do you want to win an Alice's Chains collection sample pack? Just leave a comment on this post telling me your favourite colors for spring on your eyes and lips.<br />
<br />
-You must be a follower to enter.<br />
-Giveaway it's open worldwide.<br />

<br />
Since lately things have been so slow at Makeupland, I'm a bit discouraged on thinking about sales and fun stuff, but still can't help but come up with nice offers for you.<br />
<br />
Until Sunday May 8th you'll get a SURPRISE gift with any orders over $15 (shipping not included). It can be a full size product, a sample pack, a discount code... A surprise!<br />
<br />
This offer is valid at both my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">ArtFire</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland">Etsy</a> shops (but as usual, I'll love you more if you buy at ArtFire ;) ).<br />
<br />
Are you into surprise gifts? How have your experiences with them been?<br />
<br />

I've been posting swatches on Twitter during the day (I can't deny it, I love teasing you!) and announced it'd be released tonight, but now it's for REAL.<br />
<br />
Six gorgeous, deep eyeshadows which are perfect for a soft yet fun look if you don't want to go overboard but at the same time, they're highly pigmented and will help you achieve a bold look if that's what you're looking for.<br />
<br />
I tried to make the collection fun and suitable for everyone and find these colors will flatter most eye colors and will work great on most skin tones.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited about it since I've been holding it like forever but it's finally here!<br />
<br />
It'll be available in samples and full sizes. If there is a demand for it, I'll also list a pack with the whole collection at a reduced price.<br />
<br />
From now on (samples tonight and I'll add full sizes tomorrow, it's a bit hard to stay awake atm) it's available on both my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&sc_id=156684&seller_id=107106&op=new">ArtFire</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland?section_id=7745922">Etsy</a> shops.<br />

<br />
But there is a downside to it, especially when it's a not widely known shop like mine with very few sales, and it is that I don't get to cover supplies costs etc. Not only have my shipping expenses gone up (when I order supplies), but also it's being more expensive to ship products to you. In fact, I charge customers so little that I charge LESS than what it's costing me to ship their orders. Well, I can't put up with it. I'm sorry but I can't, I'm losing money and if I don't charge what I should, I'll end up closing the shop in a couple of months. I can't sustain it if there aren't orders or if I lose money with every order.<br />
<br />
I never thought this would be a quick buck (if I did, I'd be a repackager and wouldn't give a shit about getting out quality products), and I don't want you thinking I'm greedy or anything. I'm going to show you with pictures and facts what I'm talking about and why I've had to take the decision to increase shipping charges on my customers.<br />
<br />
Right now, what I charge for shipping is (for the first item), I always ship via ordinary shipping:<br />
<br />
-Samples, Mini Pressed refills, Rock my Look sample pack: <b>$2</b><br />
-Full sizes, 10 sample pack, Palette refills, Full size Rock my Look collection: <b>$3,5</b><br />
-Palettes: <b>$4,5</b><br />
-Get the look packs: <b>$4</b><br />
<br />
NOW, I'm going to show you Spanish Correos prices. Keep in mind that these prices are in Euros, I'm posting the conversion into dollars too. If you want to check them yourself, <a href="http://www.oanda.com/">use a currency converter</a> and see by yourself. The images have been taken from the correos website, with links on the titles so you check for yourself. If the page shows up in Spanish, you can hit the Welcome word on the upper right corner and it'll switch into English. Once there, scroll down until you reach International prices.<br />

I think that speaks for itself. It also needs to be said that I have to pay for envelopes and drive to the post office (the one I currently go to is 10 minutes driving from home). Diesel is +/- €1,30 per liter ($1,88), it'd been long since it reached such price.<br />
<br />
During the weekend I'll update my shipping charges on both my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland">Etsy</a> and <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">ArtFire</a> shops. I'll post a quick note once it's done.<br />

<br />
I'm sorry about this and I'm afraid it's not going to do any good to my sales, but I just can't keep up with these prices.<br />
<br />
I hope everybody understands the situation. I'd love to hear your insights on this.<br />

They just don't work well (most of them apply plain black when pressed) and I have to go and reformulate the shade multiple times and I'm just not happy with the results. When I started to press shadows, I tried to press Queen out of RML because I thought it'd be the hardest one to work with and it went ok so I didn't try the others.<br />
<br />
<br />
All that together makes:<br />
<br />
1. I lose money and waste supplies<br />
2. Waste a long time, both mine and my customer's.<br />
3. Orders take longer to ship because I'm stuck with one pressed sample.<br />
4. Me ANGRY as hell.<br />
<br />
Thing is, when I press shadows I always press one for the customer and another one out of that same mix for myself to quality control. So when customer bought other shades from the collection I started to experience trouble which has lead me to the decision to not press them anymore.<br />
<br />
I have to clarify that I haven't shipped any of the non working RML shades, just in case anyone thinks I've shipped them not working.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, if anyone requests them I'll refund them that shade or give them the option to chose another shade.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry because the Rock My Look line is very popular and a lot of people wants them as pressed liners, but that won't be an option for some time.Lost in Makeuplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257760332340283167noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184488070310523875.post-55580344866869731212011-04-16T01:23:00.000+01:002011-04-16T01:23:16.641+01:00Makeupland's Weekly PostIt's very late in the week, but here it is my little resume of what's going on here at Makeupland these days.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Alice's Chains</span></strong><br />
<br />
I've decided to release the collection next Wednesday, April 20. I'll give you more details at the start of the week. Remember about it? I reformulated it some time ago, but never released it.<br />
<br />
Here you have my old swatches as a reminder :D<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Suppliers</span></strong><br />
<br />
I blogged last week about the TKB Pops being discontinued and the trouble that brought to my business because of the need to reformulate and the ingredients on the possible replacements.<br />
<br />
Well, I asked around the net and was told about other companies with possible replacements. At the end I've decided to stick to really similar micas carried by Coastal Scents. I can't be thankful enough to Melissa, the wonderful woman behind <a href="http://www.morganacryptoria.com/">Morgana Cryptoria</a>, because she sent me the links and gave me some useful info on suppliers. You already know I'm a Morgana fan and about my obsession with her lippies, well, I can't recommend you enough this shop, they offer great quality products (my favourite lipsticks!) and you also get a wonderful customer service and honesty. I think all of us indie sellers should be like Melissa when it comes to professionality :)<br />
<br />
It will take me some time to be able to order these micas and formulate my products like they originally were. The great thing about these micas is that they have the same basic ingredients than the Pops.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Weekly Offer</span></strong><br />
<br />
Until next Sunday 24, you can get a 10% off every order over $15 (doesn't include shipping) at my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">ArtFire shop</a>! Just write the coupon APRIL10 at checkout for the discount :D<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll keep this post short, so it ends here, but I can't help but point you towards <a href="http://www.lisaeldridge.com/">Lisa Eldridge's site</a>. She's currently doing a special on make up through the eras, and the different trends and products on the different decades from Victorian up to nowadays. It's DELIGHTFUL hearing her talk about what was used and how woman used it through the years, the incredible packaging and pigmentation of some products... Aaaaah! I've watched the three videos up so far a few times and squeeee every time!

If you follow my blog and twitter, you'll know I love Morgana's lipsticks. I've had a hard time picking ONLY one of her reds, but today I chose this one. This is a swatch of my own, one I used on my first Morgana post (BTW, I have to do a second one with another order I made, I'm in LOVE).<br />

<br />
I'm trying to post more often and this morning I felt inspired for some make up. Pictures have been taken under horrible light but I hope you get the idea of the colors.<br />
<br />
I got the inspiration for this look from this picture, from the model on the right's clothes. I saw it then decided to play a bit with makeup.<br />

No more POPIt's no secret by now and we all know it. The TKB Pop micas, also know as THE HOLY GRAIL INGREDIENTS for repackagers (I bet all of you have seen the "unique rainbow sets" lots of sellers offer), are a really basic mica that those of us makeup formulators find versatile, handy and really useful when it comes to creating, tweaking and give a color that extra "something" I like. They're easy to use and blend and overall GREAT.<br />
<br />
I personally don't use them as my main ingredients on my colors, but as a part of my blend. It makes a big difference not using them though.<br />
<br />
Currently I'm only out of one of the Pop Micas, Strawberry Pop, which can be duped mixing Tangerine and Raspberry. But from this month on I'll be starting to replace them since I'm almost out of the rest of Pops.<br />
<br />
Some of you have noticed that some of my shades look different now and it's because of this. Even though Strawberry can be duped, it's not exact and the shades containing the duped Strawberry look different now. My listings will be updated with the new ingredient lists as I do that and I'll put here on the blog a list of the reformulated shades so you know what's going on.<br />
<br />
TKB Trading discontinued the Pops some time ago. <a href="http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item_id=1366&category_id=12">This is the message you can find at their site</a>.<br />

<br />
Ok, so they have some replacements, but there is something to keep in mind, and it is the ingredients of them and the fact that they aren't exact dupes, so, the finished product you'll get when you replace the Pop mica from your recipe with one of them won't be the same AND your ingredient list won't be the same.<br />

-AMETHYST: Mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide.<br />
-PATAGONIAN PURPLE: Mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, ferric ferrocyanide. <strong>THIS SHADE IS NOT SAFE FOR LIP USE.</strong><br />
-PASSION ORANGE: Mica, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide.<br />
<br />
As you can see, most of these colors contain dyes, preservatives and one of them isn't approved for eye use.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the use of dyes, BUT, it's obvious that if your products contain them you must state it clearly to avoid possible allergic reactions AND you have to state where they can and can not be used. And obviously it's not clever to put a non eye safe product in an eyeshadow, same as it isn't to add a no lip safe mica on a lip product.<br />
<br />
We sellers must make it clear for our customers and you, as a customer, please make sure you know what's in the product you buy. This should apply for everything else, but, if you can't find an ingredient list on a shop, ask the seller first. If you still have doubts, research the ingredients. If a seller refuses to tell you what's in their product, skip them. <strong>Don't put your health at risk.</strong><br />
<br />
I think we all know by now what can happen if you use a product that's not safe for the eye area. I'm not going to go into dramas here, but there is a lot of info out there and a lot of blogs addressing these issues.<br />
<br />
I don't want anyone to panic now and think mineral makeup is dangerous, it's not my intention at all. I just want you to understand that you have to know what you put on your skin, and people like me, who develops the products you're going to use, need to be open about this and the ingredients we use and have to be transparent and provide the information you need to make sure you feel safe and confident using our products.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to ask me, I will try to make everything clear and solve any doubts you may have. You can contact me via commenting on my blog, via Twitter @lostmakeupland or email me directly at lostinmakeupland@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
Now I'd like to ask you, how do you feel about the situation? Are you going to look up more closely what you're buying now? Do you trust sellers on this topic? Do you think my approach on this is adequate?<br />
<br />
I think we all have our word on this, and I'd love to hear yours.Lost in Makeuplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257760332340283167noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184488070310523875.post-52708507496744872522011-04-05T13:08:00.000+01:002011-04-05T13:08:11.471+01:00It's Tuesday at Makeupland (laaate Weekly Post)I know it's been forever since I last posted here, I'm not even going to give any excuses, just say I'm sorry and really hope I could sit down and write the MILLION ideas on my schedule.<br />
<br />
I don't want the post to be Bible-long, so I'm going to try to be concise and clear.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Weekly Offer</span></strong><br />
<br />
This week I've gone crazy, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">BUY ONE GET ONE FREE at my ArtFire shop!!</a> (not on Etsy, sorry!). Everything applies except palettes and pressed palette refills.<br />
This leads me to...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>ArtFire</strong></span><br />
<br />
Lost in Makeupland <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/LostinMakeupland">is now on ArtFire too</a>! For those of you who don't know ArtFire, it's an Etsy-like place but better.<br />
Why? I'll give you the simplest reason. NO FEES for me. As my shop slowly grows, I also have to pay more Etsy fees and have to buy more supplies. I just can't put up with that.<br />
Shipping costs have gone crazy, I'm still unemployed and have to pay my car, bills and eat and I just can't. I also want to study and just can't pay for it all. I don't want to raise my shipping charges and want to keep LiM affordable for everybody and that's the only way to do it I can come up with.<br />
<br />
So, from now on, all my offers, discounts and a little reward system for returning customers I want to put up before summer are going to be on my ArtFire shop only.<br />
Registering there is free for you and pricing will be the same for my products.<br />
<br />
Navigation is easy and hey, the shop looks lovely! Another plus is that I can add more product pictures, keep a blog there... Really, it's amazing the tools they give us sellers to make the experience so much nicer and easier for you.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm not going to close <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LostinMakeupland">my Etsy shop</a>, but I'd like my customers to use the ArtFire one instead. Obviously, it's up to you whether you prefer to buy there or not, but it's a nice way to help support companies you like.<br />
<br />
If you have any doubts or questions as to how to use ArtFire, just let me know and I'll try to put together a mini tutorial or something :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Congratulations ladies!!! I hope you're happy with your prices :D I'll contact all of you during this week with all the info.<br />
<br />
I want to thank all the people who joined the contest, it was fun and I loved it. Next one will be when I reach 500! ;D <br />
<br />
<strong> </strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">What's going on?</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong><br />
I'm working on a LOT of things. Those of you who <a href="http://twitter.com/lostmakeupland">follow me on Twitter</a> and know me a bit know that I'm not going through good times. It affects me in a weird way, I find it very hard to sit down and "produce" stuff but I'm incredibly creative, I've been making a lot of new products, some of them have been tested already, some are being tested and others I haven't found the time to try yet.<br />
<br />
As a new, important note, I'm trying out lip balm formulas, they're so fun! I can't give a launch date yet since it's still in the earliest phase of testing. I'll be sending a few volunteers samples so they can try them and I can also check how they behave in different weathers. My idea is to sell them in cute little tins, tinted and not. I haven't decided on a price yet. I'll tell you more about this as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
The Alice's Chains collection is definitely going to be released this month.I want to add a couple of new blush shades to it, one of them will be very neutral going in the line of the collection, and the other will be EXTRA bold. The jar design will be super cute, it was designed by the lovely Sakura and I love it. <3<br />
<br />
I also have a bunch of new highlighters ready to be released but don't see that happening anytime soon. I'm quite low on some supplies and until I find a new jar supplier with REASONABLE shipping costs I can't spend a fortune on big jars. Really, it's insane the way prices have gone up, I can't put up with that.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Something beautiful</span></strong><br />
<br />
I want to finish this post with something beautiful. I'm always angry at my neighbour because he's got a lot of trees on his patio and they go into my patio, fruits fall down and ruin mine, tree leaves fall down too, I just fucking hate it and have thought about ruining his trees more than once.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But I have to admit that I love this tree and don't mind it going into my patio (just while it's this beautiful lol). It bloomed a couple of days ago and looks stunning.</span><br />

I can finally announce when I'm going to release pressed highlighters, blushes and eyeshadows. It'll be by March 1st if everything goes well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You have two options when you buy a palette. You can either request one with two 2,6cm pans and two 1,5cm pans at $22 or you can get it with two big pans at $20. Palettes will be magnetized so you can remove the pans anythime and put it inside another palette of your choice. They'll be made in your choice of colors so you'll have to leave a note with it at checkout.</div>

Except for highlighters and blushes, I'll press eyeshadows by request, so you'll have to keep in mind that it's a process that takes quite a lot of time and you'll have to allow me 2 more days to make them than with normal loose powders. I'm going to try to make it quite fast though and have some stock ready before I launch them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On that same day, I will be releasing six new blush shades which have been ready for the longest time. I'm showing you some swatches so you get the idea of how they look. These swatches aren't the best, they look much better in real life, but I wanted to show them to you before they were released. They were tested long ago and I've been wearing them quite often, but I wanted to be secretive about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They'll be available both in loose and pressed form.</div>

I'm also working on an ultra secret collection I'm UBER excited about and it's going to be EPIC, but I can't give you more details. Haven't forgotten about the Alice's Chains collection either, and hope to be able to release it during March. And, there are a couple of super seeeeeecret collaborations with 2 ladies we all love which you'll know about very soon :D</div>

Lately I've received some more gorrrrgeous indie stuff. The lovely Sakura sent me samples of Sugarpill loose eyeshadows, which I'm absolutely in love with and I also received a Fyrinnae order which I bought together with her. I got samples of Damn Paladins, Feline Familiars and Pyromantic Erotica. I'll try to take pics and swatch everything I've gotten lately for you, but for now, I'll leave you with a picture of my today's LOTD using Fyrinnae's Feline Familiars and Lost in Makeupland's Glow.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Delayed Packages from December</span></b><br />
<br />
They keep arriving! At least two more packages shipped back then have arrived to the buyers :).<br /><br />
Next week, as promised, I will contact all the buyers whom I don't know if they have received their packages to check if they have received them, in case they didn't, we'll talk a solution.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span>I'm very happy yet a bit overwhelmed by how my sales have increased lately. I know it's nothing compared with other companies, but it's far more than I expected and I'm adjusting to it. These days I've exceeded my turnaround time, which I'm not happy about, but that should be solved tomorrow morning since I've been working nonstop lately.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>This week I'm going to buy another, bigger grinder to make my products (I managed to break my lovely little one T_T ) in order to:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><b>1. Make bigger batches</b>. I don't want to make very big batches because I find it's harder to do quality control the bigger it is, BUT, the ones I make are too small now and I find myself "wasting" a lot of time making a small batch after another. Better grinder means I can make more quantity and faster, whily still having time to do quality control, I find it's more productive.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><b>2. Be very ahead of work</b>. When I opened my shop at the end of October, I usually made the eyeshadows after the order was placed. I stopped doing that at December, when the shop started to start walking, step by step. I want to be ready for rushes and just about ANYTHING that may happen. I want to be able to ship your orders as soon as possible. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>With that accomplished, I'd have the time to work on all the new stuff I've been developing and planning. I've been working in blushes, more eyeshadows and planned out a couple of collections that can't be released at the momment due to lack of time and preparation for their release.</span></span><br />

Yay!!! Yesterday I received my The Morbid The Merrier Valentine perfume order, my last Haus of Gloi order and a package from the lovely Sakura full of Sugarpill samples and stickers and goodies <3 I'll try to take pictures of everything (plus last week's stuff) to show you. I'm very impressed and happy with everything, even though I'm upset that in both my TMTM and HoG orders, various perfumes leaked and it kind of ruined the lovely labels.<br />
<br />
<br />I swear I couldn't SQUEEEE louder when I opened (that is, ripped open the envelope like crazy) my The Morbid The Merrier order. This is what I saw. Aren't you squeeing too? The care put on the packaging, image and feel of the brand is impressive. I LOVE it.<br />

I'd love to read some new blogs, learn about interesting youtube videos, books, online comics, whatever to entertain myself when I disconnect from work.
