Hi everyone, as promised, all orders will be shipped by the 14th day of the last post unless you have just contacted me. Please expect 7-10 days from the date of your email to me for your items to ship. Possibly sooner but I am trying to be careful with the time frame.

Thanks again for your patience.

Ok guys, I know that this is upsetting to EVERYONE but I AM getting these issues resolved and even the people who were already refunded can also receive makeup. Please keep in mind that before I got so busy, I had a business without the problems. I am doing everything to make this right..and, yes, you will receive your makeup, please allow me the two weeks to make this right and then, if you haven't received your makeup the, by all means....do what you have to do.

Hello everyone,

I am still receiving emails from everyone with their order information, please also include the date of the order in your email. I will be working from the back forward. I will have all orders shipped out with the safest shipping method. I expect this to take no more than two weeks to finish, probably less. I will no for sure once I have everyone's orders. I will continue to update this blog as I make progress and let you all know if there is a change in time frame (earlier shipping) thank you to everyone who is allowing me to make this right. I completely understand all of your frustrations.

Hello all, I am still working this post, I will have this up as soon as possible. I will have a special email set up for you to email your transaction details and set up shipments.

Duochrome kits are here!

2009-08-03T16:30:00.000-07:00

So....I promised the duochrome kits months ago but got so busy and I didn't have a chance until now! There are a few kits to choose from and many many different colors. All can be purchased individually as well- just let me know if you can't find a color on my site and I will re list one for you.

For those of you not familiar with "duochromes", they are color shifting powders! My favorites are the white powders that shift different colors, you can use these alone as a highlighter or on top of another color to create a totally unique color. Use with lipstick or lipgloss- looks AMAZING on red lipstick (sequin, twilight, platinum are my favorites) you can also use these with clear nailpolish or colored nailpolish.

I absolutely love these magical powders lol.

BIG SALE!!!

2009-07-06T14:25:00.000-07:00

Yep, I'm having another sale!

This time it will be on select items...I made wayyy too much of my best selling colors and also some colors that I haven't promoted in a year or so that a lot of you don't know about. ALL of them are awesome colors, none of these are pigments that I couldn't sell or crappy colors that nobody wanted. Sale starts tonight (7/6/09) at midnight. I will update this post later today with colors and swatches of the items on sale. There will be approximately 40 +/- colors discounted!

All sale items will be easy to find on my etsy site, just click the sale tab and all of the items included in the sale will be listed there. All you have to do is use promocode : OVERSTOCK and you will be refunded your 30% discount through paypal the same day that you pay for it. If you would prefer, you can opt for a revised invoice, just convo me through ETSY or add a note in "notes to seller" at check out. If you are mailing in your money order, just let me know in notes to seller at check out and be sure to add your promo code and I will send the info to you to send payment :)

I have about 100 of each color but I wont be making more for this sale so once it's gone, you wont receive the opportunity to buy these at this price again :D

This is the last big sale that Calypso Minerals will be having until Christmas!

The prices of my ingredients have gone WAY up so I will be increasing my prices in the next couple of months ...it wont be outrageous so don't worry!

Over the Rainbow

2009-03-21T13:10:00.000-07:00

So I was trying to figure out a great kit for spring time and came up with the Rainbow idea! These are extremely pigmented and I think a very fun kit! You get 13 super bright, smooth and saturated colors that blend very well...you also get 4 empty jars so you can mix up your own color and a professional grade eyeshadow brush.

Check out xsparkage.com who is the cutest thing on youtube blogged about it so check her out to see what she has to say about it! Also keep watching her blog, she will be having a contest where you can win one of these along with a bunch of other goodies from Calypso Minerals!

Grumpy Girl Soap

2009-02-08T22:49:00.000-08:00

Ok this is who I shower with (well, most of the time)!

One of my very favorite scents ever, don't know what I would do if I ran out!!!

Grumpy Girl is so creative with her soap creations, she uses awesome ingredients and her descriptions will make you LOL unless you are old or uptight or both (EW)

This one is called "Bunny Broiler" everyone should try this one. Trust me, I am a soap a holic and I know good soaps when I see one.

Description: Bunny Boilers are women on a mission... a stalking mission. You WILL be mine!

Sweet scents of sweet pea bring you to your happy place... with the man of your dreams tied up lovingly in the next room.

Wheeeeee!
*Sweet pea flowers, lily of the valley, and rose are rounded out with touches of melon, musk and vetiver.

Krissy and Mia

Puppies are 12 days old

2009-02-06T15:16:00.000-08:00

Here they are, I can't help myself! They are only a few days older and haven't changed much, only grown a ton. Their eyes should be open in a few days. I'm in total love.

A couple more puppy pictures

2009-02-03T22:10:00.000-08:00

Well, I think I have found a new way to relax! The babies are so precious, I hold them next to my ear and they make the sweetest noises :D Puppy breath is the best smell in the world! They are 8 days old in this picture :)
Wish I could be so care free! I think that they look more like little seals than puppies.

2009-02-02T12:26:00.000-08:00

Update on new puppies! They are a week old today! Here are a few pictures from yesterday, enjoy!
