Hologlow ~ Special Effect Pigments by Spell Cosmetics

Hologlow by Spell Cosmetics was launched in early spring of 2009, as a result of using the prototypes on the models for an event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. We wanted to be able to create special effects that looked foiled and luminous. Unlike our Loaded Collection, which offers high colour payoff & density, we wanted to create an ethereal "butterfly wing" effect on the models to evoke a transistional colouration that shifts in intesity depending on lighting and the direction you view it. Many companies have duochromes available, but Spell Cosmetics is the first company to specially treat their formulation so that these tiny particles stick down instead of just float away. These can be used wet also for high impact luminosity. Available in Moonlit, Blacklight, Embers, Halo, & Absinthe.
For a limited time, Spell Cosmetics is offering this collection at a special savings, along with 2 complimentary shadows for adding versatility to these colours: Use Black underneath to intesify the effect, or Moonspell underneath for a shimmering suggestion of colour.

Spell Cosmetics Friday Night Favorites!


We all need a fabulous Friday night look, so we've listed one of our favorite combo for creating a smoking, sultry glow!
Elle's favorite way to lay this out is to begin with Nightshade, creating the outline of the shape of the eye with a small dome brush....think of this like creating outines you see in a colouring book. Use Nightshade in the crease, smoking your way into the outer v, and underneath and into the lower lash line.
With a small Fluff brush, apply Antiquity on the lid. Use a wet liner brush with Antiquity to illuminate the inner corners, both upper and lower.
With a Large Fluff brush, stroke Holowglow Halo from the crease into the brow bone. For extra highlight effect consider a stroke on the outer upper brow area. Use a small dome brush to work some Halo underneath the Nightshade, for added dimension and light reflection.
Dust Goddess Glow along Cheekbones and finish with Gold Drenched Gloss.

Spell Look #9, Model: Annie


For this shoot with photographer Michelle Leigh, we wanted to create a dewy "Goddess" style for our model Annie, picking up the tones from the landscape around us.

Face: We "cocktailed" the face by mixing Under My Spell Face Primer with our Harmony Foundation in Medium, to create a velvety, blendable foundation. Next, we again mixed Under My Spell Face Primer with Soft Focus Blush in Warm. We used Candlelit Glow to high light the tops of the cheekbones.

Eyes: We wanted to play with greens, so our palette included: Citron (inner corners, upper and lower...), Hunt Club Velvet Matte Shadow in the crease through the outer V, highlighting with Halo Hologlow Shadow into the brow bone.

Lips: St. Tropez Bronze Baciare Lip Creme

Spell Look #8, Model: Trinity Skye



This look was created to fit with the industrial/architectural needs of the shoot. Working in black & white photography is a fantastic excercise for playing with texture so that you can see how different reflective qualities adjusts the way a camera renders a final image.

Eyes: We've heavily framed Trinity Skye's eyes in VELVET MATTE SHADOW in BLACK (although I did load my brush with a little bit of MAGNETEYEZ PRIMER to make it easier to manipulate the product. VEXED from THE RELOADED COLLECTION was used in the area around the Black to soften the transistion into the the remainder of the face. HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT was used to highlight up into the brow bone.

Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in DELICATE was used all over. Then we created a soft cheek contour with ZINFANDEL blush under the cheekbones, and SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in ORCHID above & along the bone.

Lips: OBVIOUS LIP GLOSS in TAROT LADY.

Spell Cosmetics Gets Criminal! FALL '09!


The launch of Spell Cosmetics Autumn 2009 Collection happens tonight 10/01/09, at 8:00 EST.
Colour this amazing is purely criminal...The Jewel Thief Collection, by Spell Cosmetics takes colour where it has never gone before! Revolutionary "de-dusted" pigments reduce falloff during the application process. Our propriety formulation has moisture retention qualities which helps create a smooth finish. The best part? They can be used wet or dry and it doesn't interfere with the consistancy of the pigments! Use wet to create a metallic finish, use dry for lustrous, indulgent colour!
Join us at 8:00 pm EST on BlogTV...we will be discussing this new line, introducing our Creative Design Team, and running special offers while we're on live! Go to: www.blogtv.com/People/spellcosmetics

NEW VELVET MATTE SHADOWS!!!





We've recently rearranged our categories for our shadows on the website, so that finding the finish you're looking for is easier!
In our Velvet Matte shadows, we've added 7 new colours to our line up!
Why Velvet Matte?
Using one matte colour helps "anchor" any look...these are the building blocks for creating depth and staying power. Playing with different textures when creating a look brings some of your favorite shades new dimension. Also, for those of you with "oily lids", Spell Cosmetics Velvet Matte shadows resist breaking down or settling after a few hours of wear. Expect long-stay durability!
We've added 3 colours that we've had as pre-release colours in our Goddess, Enchanted, & Moonspell Collections, PLUS 4 NEW SHADES that are perfect for fall, including: Aubergine, Cordovan, Hunt Club & Indigo!
Don't forget, we're still running our Pick 5 & Shadow Duo's on special!

Spell Look #7, Model: Joanni


This look was done on stage in under 10 minutes! We created a glam/egytian look on Joanni during the Cleveland Women's Show.
Eyes: We created a dark thick liner effect by using BLACK Matte Velvet Shadow & WET & SET MIXING MEDIUM. Then we enhanced that line with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in HALO, and again used it with WET & SET, creating some visual interest in the interior corner. The we used HOLOGLOW SHADOW in HALO with a fluff brush to illuminate the brow & arch areas.
Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in SABLE was used to even out the complexion.
Lips: We've lightly applied GOLD DRENCHED gloss.
Get ready for our exciting fall launch!

Spell Look #6, Model: Aslynn



In this photoshoot, we used complimentary colours from the Loaded & Hologlow Collectins to antagonize the strawberry blonde hues of Aslynn's hair.

Eyes: the inner corner to the center of the eyes was done using COVET on the lid into the crease, & beneath the lower lash line. We highlighted these same sections with HOLOGLOW in ABSINTHE. From the middle of the eye, extended to the outer V, we used LUST on the lid to crease, highlighting with HOLOGLOW in EMBERS. MOCHA DARK & WET & SET mixing medium were used to create a tobacco coloured definition around the upper & lower lash lines.

Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in PORCELIN, with ZINFANDEL SPELL COSMETICS BLUSH.

Lips: we used OBVIOUS LIP GLOSS in HOLLY.

Spell Look #5, Model: Ingrid




To create the look for this swimwear/beach shoot, on Model Ingrid, our palette included neutral selections that create a sultry definition to the face while balancing natural lighting.


Eyes: The top lash line was lined with BLACK & WET & SET MIXING MEDIUM. Then, LATTE was used from the lashes up into the brow bone with a large eye fluff brush, and under the lower lashes with a small dome brush. This created a "slip" for MOCHA DARK in the outer v & crease, making blending much easier. MOCHA DARK was worked into the lower lash line from the center point of the eye outward.


Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in RICH was used to even the complexion, followed with SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in NEUTRAL for facial contouring & under the cheek bones. GODDESS GLOW was used for soft illumination down the bridge of the nose and along the tops of the cheek bones .


Lips: Ingrid's lip colour was custom created with a special lip palette I use on photoshoots. Now, for a limited time, we are giving the PERFECTLY NAKED LIP PALETTE as a FREE GIFT with any order over $30! This 5 well full sized palette is designed for customizing a perfect neutral lip! Each colour has a unique finish & colour payoff, created with natural, petro-free bases.

Spell Look #4, Model: Trinity Skye



In this runway look, we've incorporated the colours of Model Trinity Skye's Johnathan Kayne gown. Our Laura Christopher Heat Wave Day was the perfect choice for echoing the teal dupioni fabric, while incorporating the glowing effect of the crystal embellishments.

Eyes: Working the inner corners of the eye with RISING SUN, outward to the middle of the eye, we've switched into SALT WATER, framing the eyes from the top and bottom. We've used WHITE HOT to illuminate the interior section of the brow bone, but gave this an extra jolt of vibrancy by using HOLOGLOW shadow in HALO.

Face: We've evened out Trinity's skin tone with HARMONY FOUNDATION in MEDIUM, and used a subdued blush in TOASTED COCONUT to balance the finished look

Lips: From the HEAT WAVE DAY collection, we have used CORAL SUN.
Right now, the HEAT WAVE DAY COLLECTION is ON SALE thru SUNDAY for only $19.99! This set includes Salt Water, White Hot, and Rising Sun PLUS Coral Sun gloss. Don't forget to add Halo to your cart! http://www.spellcosmetics.com/

Spell Look #3, Model: Rotana


To create this look, we've used a monochromatic palette of Spell Cosmetics purples.
Eyes: The brows were strengthened with MOCHA DARK, and Wet & Set Mixing Medium so they could be "painted" with an angle brush. To create a metallic finish, WISTERIA was used generously from the inner upper lash line, sweeping the lid up into the arch of the brow area & outer V. Continue with Wisteria beneath the lower lashes connecting to the upper section. PASSION was used over this, to create depth in the crease. Highlighting effects in the inner corners was done with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT. The inner section of the bridge of the nose was accentuated with PASSION.
Face: Rotana's richer complexion was neutralized and made paler with the use of HARMONY FOUNDATION in PORCELIN.
SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in COOL was used beneath the cheekbones, highlighted with SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in ORCHID.
Lips: We've "cocktailed" our products to create this lip by using: NIKKICHICK GLOSS, dusted with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT.

Get Radiant!








It's no secret that every woman needs a classic "go-to" palette. One that is elegant, and refines what we possess naturally. One that is the perfect day into night option. One that causes others to say, "what looks different about you today"?


The Radiance Collection was created with all of these factors in mind. Designed with Laura Christoper, model/artist, we worked together to develop a classic palette (as shown on model Brianna Rene') that is balanced with neutral soft tones which harmonize with all skin tones.


When our latest In Style magazine arrived, we were immediately in love with the cover shot of a glowing Jennifer Lopez. Striking because of its approachable nature, this is a classic look that every woman can wear.
The Radiance Collection is also specifically formulated with ingredients that have an optical blurring effect on fine lines combined with a light refraction index that makes it perfect for photography & hi-def.
This collection contains: French Vanilla, Pink Coffee, & Brown Sugar shadows, Toasted Coconut blush, & Pink Sand Baciare Lip Creme. For a limited time, You choose a FREE Baciare Lip Creme in Caliente' or Gemma's Kiss, with any purchase of this collection! Caliente' is warm firey coral red, Gemma's Kiss is a cool mysterious red. (like its namesake!) A complete day into night collection!

Comment Us!!!

We have re-started our marketing campaign at Spell. We actually have a publicist now! However, more importantly we have to focus more attention on a broader expansion of our customer base.
So with my background in Marketing, I like to pretend on a daily basis that I'm the "know it all" but in the back of my mind I know--no person really ever knows where to land something--its luck and support of a good product. Our customers know we make a good product for them and that we will strive to take care of them--making this experience fun!.
But what I really want to know from the 158 followers of this blog, the Spell Blog, is: What you guys think!! Where should we go next? What can we do to continue to promote? Where do you want Spell to go? This is your time to help us, give us guidance, feedback and ANY opinion you may have right in the comments! We are seeking your help, at the end of it--you guys are our lifeblood anyway, so why not be inclusive.
We know one way that we are now going and that can be a way to become mutually beneficial. We have our Spell banner links, anyone who requests one and puts it on their blog/site will receive an automatic $5.00 gift certificate for each month it remains up. In addition, add you own code above or below it as a referral and you will receive 5% of each order coming through Spell using your code! At the end of the month, just request a corporate check or credit in the store--YOUR Choice.
Want to be involved, just be registered on the site with us and email us at paul@spellcosmetics.com and request a banner for yourself!!

Why Spell?

The question in the title bar --ironically is one that most companies would have trouble answering. Fortunately, I can assure you that we do not. 1. Creativity: Elle is a colorist, and the best at it. I have watched people request different colors whether it be for their line --or just for their pleasure. She has knocked these out time and time again. For days on end she develops a certain product for the line. Is it matte? is it Sheer? What is it? But I do know that it is a time consuming process and her work is impacable. Her lab area is about 9 x 9, shelves stocked with mixtures and formulas, Im usually NOT allowed in..lol But she works very very hard ever day and often Im very proud of the work she does and what she accomplishes. Heart and soul literally goes into the creations and the line. Today, I wanted to let her know that I am proud of her, Spell could never be where it is without her! Follow her visions and advice and Yes, jump on the Spell Bandwagon, you will never ever be sorry.
We will continue to produce for you and continue to build new creative lines and products. We are grateful that you shop with us and hopeful you can recognize that we believe in what we do, and we believe in you Elle!!! All my love, Gemma, your partner!

OUCH!!!

So if you have been a follower of our blog TV, you likely know that one of us went ona little rant last week about resellers of Spell products. For the life of us, we cant figure out what some people--especially those who are close to us are thinking.

We have alwasy been generous in giving out product, any issue with one, gifts, replacing missing ones based soley on an email with no expectation that are customers should be hassled with returning unopened product or wrong colour etc!.

But we cannot believe what we are seeing, we have just watched Twitter etc and found more of our product for sale at less than half of our price!! OK, we get it, you want to sell it--we cant stop that but don't hack us so much that it actually hurts, esepcially if you've been purchasing at a huge discount. We'd only ever ask that you give us an opportunity to know whats coming. Its a sad day,. Are we being petty, some might think, but like eveytone else--we are just trying to survive as well, it just sucks ......

But we remained committed to going to the next level and bringing a fresh, fun, interactive site to all of you!

Thos who have emailed and not received a response, do so again now, we are going to make sure you are well taken care of and are so grateful of the patience you have shown.

Dear Spell: Where have you been?

Answer: Well, you know when we disappear from our daily interaction that we are usually up to something!! So some updates for all of you are in order! First, we are in production for a brand new website and store to be launched on July 1st (Scheduled date). Its been a long time coming but we could no longer maintain ours in its current form. In order to complete that process -so many things have to happen that its slightly overwhelming.

The orders come first, and when they do, it definitely keeps us on a non stop schedule. But this weekend we have launched several new collections that we think are perfect to continue the summer trends. In addition, now is the time to get involved in the LAST CHANCE SPECIALS page. These are items that will be discontinued as they sell out. Click below to check out that Catagory and look for more updates here over the next few days!!!

LAST CHANCE

Goodbye to You..........


NO!! Not Spell!!! but we are saying goodbye to something!! Goodbye to SIFTERS! We're no longer in the business of selling 5 grams jars worth of our product. Now, we can get 6 in there. Sifters are complicated. The overwhleming majority of people remove them. BUT, there is a product out there called airfoam sealers. These sealers actually stay within the cap and secure down on top of the product lid. We have discovered by using them that you can get the extra gram in. They are heavy duty and will reseal each time. Our jar supplier now is wholly different and the jars themselves are bigger. NO, we will not be raing the price..lol Thats what you were thinking.


You'll notice the change over and many of you who have ordered already received them. The feedback is definitely welcome. Its your hard earned money---Get the 6 grams for it!!!!

Is it raining?

Well, we had 247 requests for rainchecks this weekend. That must be a new record. It seems that the combination of new product launches along with the many cookouts left some out of the contest and free giveaways!

AllthatGlitrz Shadows!!


Working with Elle, (Allthatglitrz21) has been a great pleasure this year. We had all planned a late summer launch of shadows to match the Gloss trio. We surprised her this week with an early launch for her and had so much fun doing it.. The new shadows are similar in consistency to our (Spring Trio) and have been designed with emoillients for adhesion and blending. Long Stay Shimmer and HUGE colour Payoff. I have to give absolute credit to our cosmetic chemist Elle (The Spell one) she worked these into creation for over a month to build them, and now we batch them :) Have fun!!

A "Must See" Modification!!!!!



So, Spell Cosmetics has an "all hands" Monday meeting every week. This is where we discuss a multitude of issues, changes, new products, launch dates etc. During this past one, a major valid point was brought up and was so fantastic that everyone jumped on board. The basis of discussion was as follows: So many companies offer pre-built palettes of eyeshadows that you could get lost in the amount of re-sellers out there. We had initially launched our 24 piece box set as a pre-built, but during the meeting were asking ourselves---WHY? So, we modified-quickly! Now, the 24 piece box set is "YOU CHOOSE" We have added a simple drop down menu to this item in the store and are going to step up and build them as they are ordered. You guys choose your own colours, it shouldn't be us! So now, every kit ordered is tailored directly to you!!! We just think its best that the consumer have their say when it comes to an item they desire. How many palette shadows do we NOT use that come in the pre-builts? Get rid of those and make your own call!---PLUS--its way more fun!!!

Just in case....

For all of you who follow our Thursday night Blog TV Episodes, you knew this was coming!! Based on our own travels, events, and what we would be using, we decided on the best possible solution for the storage and trasnport of the 5 gram shadows. Most often our traincases get jam packed with products and end up tossed around. The new "Spell Shadow Box" is a totally cost effective way to organize. The box will hold 24 individual 5 gram rounds OR squares perfectly. You can display them with the bottom label up or cap up as shown. We have these now in the store. One kit comes with 24 Shadows from our shadow kit lines...ie (Cat Eye Trio, Naked Eye, New Day, Sun and Surf..) the other comes empty for those that have an existing shadow stock. Check out the store for full info and drop us a line with any questions!

By Demand...............


Never have we had a product run as fast as the new Laura Christopher Collections! In addition, never have we had so many requests to combine the collections to sell together! So, today we launched both (Ice Cream Parlour, and Radiance) together and with a huge discount. Individually, the two collections retail with us at $35.00 each. Together, they now sell at $29.00. Don't forget to email request your instant FREE VIP membership before you buy for an additional 25% off!
We think the Laura Christopher line is truly destined to become a high ranking competitor to higher end collections by others and an industry "most talked about"!! We shall see....

Business Ethics 101

So todays lesson, Business Ethics 101. It seems like an innappropriate place to discuss this especially with the Sping Banner above but we have to write this one for sure. So recently it has leaked out that Spell is having their HUGE Spring Sale starting Friday, Ok, I just now acknowledged the truthfulness of that rumor! This is going to be our biggest, most fun sale in our history. Prizes, contests, huge discounts, new products, (Literally 3 days of fun!)
BUT, here now is the major issue. As a corporation, what path do you take with 3 days left prior to a sale. Path 1: Most business models will say--Do nothing, start the sale announcement the day before and let it run. Path 2: Be fair, be open and announce early. We have to take this second path, which is a definite business dilemma and runs counter to industry models. The sale doesnt start until Friday, but what about your customers who are ordering Tuesday through Friday. Come Friday they are going to see a discount drop and will feel a bit slighted. I know, its business etc. But we have to do what we can to avoid that. Therefore, I am going to drop the pre-sale code right here for you. You want your 30% off storewide now? before Friday? Well, if you want to early order then use (presale) in the store. You can return and order other newer items during the sale, but here is a way to get your discount, be fair to everyone, and eliminate that business ethics issue as to what to do when you are this close.
Stay Tuned for more announcements today and a Youtube video tonight as to another major contest by us!!

Tweaking the VIP's


So, I have tweaked the VIP specials for March. As you can see, the hints of Spring have been encouraging to us..lol As many of you know, we have been trying to get some items on sale each week and rotate them through. But we are adding something even more fun, more cool, and discounted for March. So, if you are asking yourself any of the following questions, then you fit in.
1. I want to buy the All 40 Shadow Kit: Well, through March you can email us before you buy and we will give you VIP via email in advance. That means the kit becomes $60.00 this month.
2. I want to buy the "Im a Spell Girl Kit": Well, the same rules apply, and the kit now becomes $33.75.
3. Last, but not least: I'd like to buy the "Obvious Gloss Kit" We'll its now going to be $63.75 with the VIP discount.
So, if you are not a VIP and are planning on ordering any of the three above, send us an email to cservice@spellcosmetics.com and tell us. We'll give you VIP in advance of these kits that have included it!
So, once again, we thank you!!!! As always, feel free to email questions, comments and opinions.
