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!
