Color Contest poll!

Hey guys! Here are my favorite entries for our color contest--and the contenders for our new Signature colors! (A quick note: I didn't expect so many people to suggest a shade of lilac! So I went with the most creatively-described shades. Apologies if yours wasn't chosen.) Without further ado...here they are!

Which of these colors would you prefer?

May Color of the Month and other news!

Hey everyone! Sorry, I know I've been terrible about keeping up this blog. I'll try to do better in future, and keep you updated on Twitter. For now: May's Color of the Month, Warm Rain, is now available! It's a beautiful bright blue with lots of shimmer and a golden sheen, very unusual and stunning. I wore it all over today (out shopping--I drove around for nine hours! Whew!) and got compliments everywhere I went. It looks fantastic with any eye color, and it's nice and opaque, so it complements all skin tones.

Also, in case you haven't been keeping up with the front page, I recently graduated college and moved out of my apartment. This was exciting, but took a LOT of time and effort, and unfortunately delayed a handful of orders by a week or two. But everything should be sent out now, and I'll now be filling orders in a lovely, organized office space instead of a cramped apartment! Hooray!

With that in mind...I've been thinking it's time for some more Signature colors. I'd love to bring our number up to 30 or even 35. The problem is, I don't know what colors you all think we need! So I think it's time for another Color Contest. Send me your ideas for a color--what you think it should look like, maybe an inspiration photo, and a name if you'd like--by Monday, June 1. I'll pick my favorites to put to a vote, and then let the people choose their new colors! The five winners (assuming we get enough entries) will each get three jars of their newly created color, plus two other shadows and a gloss of their choice, and their name immortalized in Etsy fame! Email 'em to luirecosmetics@gmail.com. Be creative and have fun! But please don't steal from other makeup sellers. Luire is all about originality.

I'm off to fill orders that came in today. Have a fabulous Monday night and check back soon!

Oil Spill

February's color of the month, Oil Spill, is now available through March 15! (And until tomorrow, you can score it as part of our sale--so what are you waiting for?)

Also, Luire brushes will be available within a few weeks. We're starting with one style to see if it goes over well; if it does, we'll add more! Keep your eyes open :)

Colors of the Month

Hey everyone! Some more changes are coming to Luire--and these are big ones. First, we'll now be offering monthly Limited Edition colors! These unique shadows and glosses are only available during their specific month, and once it's over, they're gone. We'll also be offering a subscription service--each month, you'll receive the Color of the Month before it's even available in the store, along with some special goodies!

These should be arriving later this week. Since February is already halfway over, February's color of the month will overlap with March's by two weeks. We'll keep you posted when they arrive!

Also, we're considering stocking a few eyeshadow brushes in the store. Does this sound like a good idea, or no?

Should Luire offer brushes in the store?

Happenings: New Kits, HYPE and Sales!

Hey all! Lots of things are going down at Luire! For starters, our new eyeshadow primer, HYPE, is now available for just $9.50 a bottle. Formulated with jojoba oil, vitamin E, cyclomethicone, and cucumber extract, it'll help your shadows stay put, bring out their colors, and reduce eye puffiness, all just with a single drop! (I feel like I should be selling it from a wagon on a street in the 1800s...except it really works ;)

Next, we've got two new kits, SO PRECIOUS and BITE ME! Precious is a collection of our precious metal and gem colors--Karat, Forever, Industrial and Star-Crossed--plus Naked Ambition gloss for diamond shine. We're packing it up in silver satin bags, very pretty! And we've had numerous requests for a more "gothic" makeup kit, so we're delivering with BITE ME--Vampire Lover, Scarlet Letter, Forever, and Star-Crossed, plus a tube of our newest gloss, Original Sin! For now, you can only get Original Sin by purchasing BITE ME, so snap it up.

And finally, who doesn't love a big sale? It isn't right for couples to get all the attention for V-day--you need to feel the love for YOU, too. With that in mind, we're having a huge sale so you can pamper yourself guilt-free! Here's what's going on:

-Kits, normally $25, are now just $20!
-Buy two eyeshadows at normal price ($11 total) and get the third one FREE!
-Buy one lip gloss, get a free eyeshadow!
-Buy one bottle of HYPE, get a free eyeshadow!
-Double free samples--until the 16th, you'll get TWO free samples with every order (except orders of just samples)!
-And we're gift-wrapping every single order (except sample-only orders). You deserve to open a present, and who better to send one to than yourself?

The sale will only last a little over two weeks, so take advantage of these sweet deals while they're around!
