It's my Non-Birthday and YOU are getting the presents! Here's how it works:
More Birthday Graphics at Jhocy.comHidden throughout the store are 12 different birthday graphics (balloons, birthday cakes, presents). Each one of these graphics has a preassigned Mystery Gift attached to it, ranging in value from $3.50 on up. Find one of these graphics and add it to your cart with your minimum order of $10 to claim it! It's that simple :) However, there is a limit of ONE Mystery Gift per $10 order.
3) Mystery Gift graphic has to be added to your cart in order to claim it (they are "items", just click "add to cart" to "order" it).4) Orders not meeting the $10 minimum will receive samples in lieu of the Mystery Gift.Here is a random list of some of the Mystery Gifts hidden throughout the website.
So a certain someone, who shall remain nameless (me), is supposed to be having one of those nasty little things called a birthday in a few days. And since I...err...she has decided that there will be NO more birthdays, I...errr...she is doing a huge giveaway to take her mind off of adding another year to her age!

I am happy to say that normal business operations and shipping will resume on Monday, June 22nd, 2009. After a period of very high order volume and some unexpected personal circumstances, we will officially be caught up and back on track on that day. Please continue to use the support ticket feature for questions or status updates, as support tickets allow for the fastest turnaround time. My business email box is still backlogged (understatement) and support tickets are logged directly into the site...which means they are right there when I log into the admin and make it easier for me or my assistant to answer questions. Since there are so many emails in my email box, I want to make sure I don't miss anyone!
I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, good thoughts and patience during this difficult time. I am healing day by day and looking forward to getting back in the groove, reconnecting with everyone and rolling out some new products :)
Sincerely,

One of the questions that I get asked a lot deals with color correctors and how to apply them properly. Some ladies have redness that they are trying to cover up, so they order the green color corrector and apply it...only to find out that they have something in common with the Hulk....a GREEN complexion! So today I want to talk a little about color correctors, how to apply them and how they work. Understanding how color correctors work will help with proper application :)
Since the Green Color Corrector is the one that most women have issues with, I will be using it in our Crash Course today. When determining which corrector color to use, first we look at the chart to see which color is opposite it on the color wheel.
So red is the color that is giving us trouble. Looking to the other side opposite red on the color wheel, we determine that green is the color we need to use..
If yellow undertones are giving you issue, or yellowed bruises, then the violet color corrector would be the one to go with. For purplish areas under the eye or dark undereye circles, yellow would be your color of choice. Mixing opposite colors on the color wheel will give you a neutral color, which is what we are striving for. The color corrector is only meant to neutralize, not cover, the problem areas.
So now that we have determined which color we need to use, let's talk about application. Mineralicious! Color Correctors are very concentrated and, as my grandma used to say, a little dab will do ya. Simply take a brush, like our Concealer Brush, swirl the brush in the color corrector and tap off the excess. Then using a light dabbing motion, touch the brush to the problem area lightly, until the unwanted color is almost invisible....but not covered to the point of having a green spot. Be sure to blend the outside edges out, so that you don't have a visible circle after applying your foundation. It may take you a few tries to get used to the application technique needed, so I suggest that instead of doing the whole face in foundation, to only apply foundation in the areas where you have put the color corrector and blend it in to be sure that a) there is no visible color corrector and b) that the unwanted color is neutralized.
If you have large areas that need color correction, such as rosacea or acne all over the face, I suggest blending some of the color corrector into a small amount of foundation. Not only is this much easier than touching up every single blemish, but it also saves time in your beauty routine. You may want to blend this in a seperate container than your full size foundation, just to make sure you have the right ratio of corrector to foundation.
Hopefully this answers some questions about color correctors and how to apply them, but if you still have more, please be sure to let me know :) I am happy to help!
Until next time...
