News, Updates, and Holiday Wishes.

I’m sitting here drinking my morning coffee, feeling very blessed.  This year is coming to an end.  I often reflect on the year passed-lingering on the blessings I’ve had and taking the lessons I’ve learned to heart for the upcoming year. 

This year has been incredibly hard.  I’ve had quite a few tragedies happen.  I’ve overcome some very serious things including a physical attack by a stranger and losing my home.  What remains with me now is a deep gratitude for my life and the inner strength I’ve found.  

I want to thank each and every one of you who have made Stardust more than a silly dream.  It is happening.  More than I ever thought possible.  And I am thankful from the depths of my spirit to each of you that believe, as I do, in the magic of makeup…and for letting me participate in that journey with you. 

Stardust will be closing for the Holiday Season on the 22nd and will reopen January 4th.  As a token of my deepest appreciation, I am offering a reopening gift to you.  Use the code Renew to receive 30% off your product total.  The coupon will be good for two weeks after reopening (January 4th- 18th). 

I wish you all the most special, inspirational, and blessed Holiday.  May all your dreams come true.

On to the Updates and News: 

Updates on upcoming goodies: 

• I am slightly behind due to higher than expected order volume and some personal things so the liner powders, foundations, and concealers will be released with the reopening.  I am sorry to disappoint. =(
• The Facettes de la Femme collection will be pushed to mid January.
• The next large give-a-way is called “Every Woman Beautiful” and is a tribute to the mystery, strength, and spirit of the feminine.  Entries will begin after reopen (details will be posted).  To enter, email me a photo(s) of you wearing your Stardust products.  Entries will be featured in a gallery.  Prizes have been changed, instead of set product, the winners will receive a gift code.  Code amounts will range from 5-100 dollars.  Every entry will get a code. (still working out the fine details!)

News: 

• I am revamping the way “Freebies” work.  I’d like to give you more control over what free samples you get!
• Possible shipping changes for samples (still researching).
• Lippies are coming, expect them around March.

Thats about it for now.  I have a few surprises in store too.  There are some great things coming in the year to come! 

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Two more Party Looks: Glowy and Classic

A very neutral but glowy look, perfect for low key parties:

Here’s what I used:

Face:
Well Moisturized (with AHA lotion and finished with a Retinol Serum)
Silky Primer Powder
Pearl Power luminzer all over (before foundation)
Test Foundation blend
Toasty blush to contour
Goddess Luminzer in C around eyes/temples, down bridge of nose and above brows (I used ALOT so it would show up in the picture, which is why my pores look so ‘enchanced’ =D)
Pearl Power lightly all over to finish

Eyes:
Gosh primer
Fall’s Farewell LE on lid
Hearthstone LE on outer vee, blended into crease
Cashmere Mittens LE, inner corners
Winter White LE browbone
Bling luminzer on inner vee
Gosh liner pen in black
Adell #117 (OMG HOLY GRAIL lashes, big but still very soft)
Lashblast in black

Lips:
Gosh l/g #0058

If I were really going to a party I would have toned down the Goddess Luminzer a lot, but in order for the ‘glow’ to show in the pics I had to really layer it on.  If you are a girl with larger pores like me, be careful with the shimmer, it can make your pores look like giant craters!

Next is a classic look with a shimmery lined eye:

The glittery liner didnt show up very well in the pic..but above the black liner was a small shimmery line of Shimmerstorm (silver glitter).  You could do any color lip you want, a modern take would be a fuschia lip or even a deep deep plum.

What I used:

Face
Stardust Orignal Foundation
Toasty blush
Glow Veil

Eyes
Gosh Primer
Cashmere Mittens LE
Bootes (lid)
Shimmerstorm LE (lined wet)
Midnight Blizzard LE (wetlined)
Black Mascara

Lips
Red l/l
Gosh l/g #0073

Thanks for looking! Have a Great Weekend!
