A BRAND NEW SPELL!! WELCOME!!

After wrapping up the liquidation sale and re-building for wholesale and private label, we have now re-emerged with some unique and exciting offers.

All of the questionaiires, comments and planning have found their way into the details of how we are now approaching our customer base. So read below, we think everyone will enjoy not only the uniqueness of Spell now, but the savings you can all enjoy.

1. We have as of now re-listed our top shadows on the site (with more coming).

2. All shadows are now 1 FULL OZ. (Fills 6 of the standard 5 gram jars)

3. Our Colors are COMPLETED formulas. (Not Raw Materials) These are sale or use ready.

4. Each 1 Oz package will include 1 FREE -5gram jar and lid to work from.

5. Each 1 Oz package is only $10.00

6. There are no minimum order amounts for wholesale. (Buy as much or as little as you'd like).

This is the brand new wholesale component at Spell. We have strived to make it affordable, and profitable for anyone desiring to re-package and sell. There is no requirement to mix or add components to the colors.

For those who are just seeking colors for personal use, it is an extremely cost effective way to receive a large quantity of color that will last, or give some away as gifts, contests etc!!

More to come, but feel free to start shopping the current colors available in the store.

That final day...

Well, it has been some madness here the past couple weeks, but we are at the Final day of liquidation. Tonigh at midnight, the store will change from individual sale to wholesale and Private Label.

So join us on this last shopping day if you'd like individual products and get freebies with every order all day and night.

Helping Spell...

One more time... If you have a blog, a youtube, are willing to make a video...anything..We sure could use your help getting the word out on our liquidation sale ending October 10th. We are so grateful for having you guys around for the past 4 years and have certainly tried to do the same for everyone these past 4 years. It may seem like a cheesy plea for help from everyone, but we cant do it alone, and we couldn't have done it without everyone.

There are 9 days left...and we just hope to be able to recover from this year and move forward with the new direction.

Our gracious thank you's in advance..... :)

RECORD SHIPPING DAY!!

Just a note from yesterday during liquidation. We shipped out a record 87(one day) orders yesterday!!! Watch for the shipping updates coming in the next day or so. You guys have been fantastic in your patience with us this week!!!

The "SOLD OUT" Items

Thank you everyone for inquiries, and as a mass answer to the emails in customer service, unfortunately, no, once they are off the shelves we will not be packaging more. We are trying to keep up in the store and updating the sell outs. We will only make more for those who have them in their carts while shopping if that item happens to sell out during that time.

Elle

The Liquidation of Spell.....Ends October 10th..

Dear Friends, followers, and ,our most gracious customers:

The time has come for Spell as we've all come to know it to step aside, but yet step up on a different platform. For almost 4 years now, we have been in the cosmetics race bringing a new product line, games, fun, giveaways and yes..even mistakes and screw ups to all of you. So much has changed in our world and often it seems that even those "good ole" days of Youtube have turned into something different. So we say GOODBYE to Spell as it has been and we elevate to our new endeavor.

We have been so proud of so many of you who have come to our doorstep to create Private label colors and formulas for your stores. Yes, it is true, we are proud that many of you will end up with our formulations by shopping in other Etsy, Ebay and online stores!! and No..lol we can't say whos..

But now we become something new and as of October 10th, we will only be providing our color formulas in bulk, and continuing to create colors for others.. In the meantime, all of those components, all of the jars, and all of those colors on the shelf must go..

So go visit us now and stock up on what is currently available, and most of it on the site is all $5.00. Be patient with us now as shipping times can be up to a week, but we will get them all out. In the meantime, we will spend these next two weeks wrapping up lose ends in customer service and preparing to provide any of you who want to come back to purchase our colors to sell for yourselves an oppotunity to do so, with no minimum order amounts in the future.

We are proud of what we achieved, we are proud that we created it ourselves, and as a side note, we are proud of you Elle, for taking this company to where it has become. Your color creations, your visual talent is what put Spell on the map.

To all of our friends, our customers, never doubt that our gracious thank you is offerred. Continue to follow us...and continue to think of us when you make your next cosmetics purchase..look closely...you just never know if thats us in that little jar....:)

All our love.

2 ways to wear the Moonspell Collection by Spell Cosmetics!

The Moonspell Collection has been one of our top-sellers for over a year! I've painted out a face chart showing 2 ways to wear it!

Look 1 on the left eye is a tone-on-tone fusion that is perfect for people who have wide set, or forward set eyes. By lining the lower lashline with Hologlow Moonlit, and creating a bolder upper eye, it is also perfect for people with rounder face shapes as it creates vertical length. The upper eye is done with Sublime on the lid, Nightshade in the crease area, with Moonlit highlighting the brow bone.

Look 2 on the right eye is my favorite option for creating a smokey dramatic look that looks amazing on deep set or narrow eyes because it expands the eye area in an outward manner. For this look, I use Moonlit in the inner corners, upper & lower lashline, sweeping it up into the brow bone. Next, I create the outer V are by using Nightshade beginning at the center of the lid & smoked into the immediate crease. I echo that pattern with Sublime blending into & over the Nightshade.

With intense eye looks, I usually create a neutral lip, so I have chosen Naked for this.

Stop over at www.spellcosmetics.com & add The Moonspell Collection to your makeup arsenal~ it's perfect for this transitional time between Summer & Fall!

Meet our new Midwest Director of Marketing & Events, Ms. Viva Valezz!

We are so excited to announce that the 2010 "Columbus' Favorite Burleque Performer", Viva Valezz has come on board with Spell Cosmetics to become our Midwest Director of Marketing & Events!

So by way of introduction, here is a letter from Viva about her philosophy of beauty:

"Burlesque performance is all about appreciating your own femininity, your own unique beauty, learning to love your body no matter what size, representing beauty & grace in every color & lifestyle, and being able to perform because you love sharing your artistic expressions with an audience.

I have been performing & teaching dance in the Midwest for a decade, & have performed from coast to coast as well as overseas in Morocco, Northern Africa, from the larger cities to the Sahara Desert. Along the way, I've met thousands of beautiful women.

I began my dance career 10 years ago as a professional belly dancer & instructor which segued into burlesque, which has deep similarities to the Hollywood styles of the 1930's - 50's & Pin-Up culture. My modeling experiences have helped me appreciate the world of make-up more than I ever did over the years.

I have 25 years experience as a business leader & manager within the fashion industry, and have a Master's Degree in Communications.

EVERY woman is beautiful. Every woman, every person has the capacity to show the world their true beauty. If I can ever contribute to making even 1 person recognize their true beauty, I've been blessed" ... Viva Valezz

We will be working on making Spell Cosmetics available through "Brick & Morter" stores, as well as continuing to add new events to our calender. Follow Viva on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/vivavalezz or add her to your friends on Facebook!

The Picture Says it all!!!!

We do certainly hope that was the bit of the attention grabber necessary to get our next point across. Its been a month now since we brought in ASHLEY to begin to revamp our customer service. This time, we just said "no rules, make them all happy" Well certainly we think she has made the necessary changes and we hope you've noticed. She's there like the personal shopper for all of you! So no more unanswered emails--well maybe 1 or 2...lol but assisting everyone like we used to was our most requested comment. No doubt, we made a mistake, we had been known as the customer service company! and then well.....not so much....BUT ...We own it--We changed it---and we're big enough to admit our own faults. So drop her an email every once in a while and just introduce yourself or encourage her, she'll do the same and she WILL be there for you.. cservice@spellcosmetics.com attn: Ashley

"The Kitchen Nightmare!"

So, for any of you who may know. There is a show out with Chef Gordon Ramsey called "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares". The concept of the show for those who don't know, is that he enters an existing restaurant and re vamps, reworks the entire structure. Its a cleaning house and starting over show. The focus is to turn the place profitable, trendy, workable.

Well it was decided that Spell was about to have someone come and do the same, as we needed it!! So we are in the process now and things are changing so very fast. So we'll keep everyone updated as to the progress and some of the ideas, changes coming.

Currently, here are some so far!!!!

1. Customer Service: Welcome Ashley... Our new drill seargent of customer service. No more lack of responding and its time to solve the issues immediately-Back to being known as the customer service company after a huge fall off.

2. A new front page to the website!! Trendy, inviting and a layout to make everyone feel like spending their days there. (Coming Soon)

3. New warehouse for Spell!

4. New Sales Girls

5. Finally, a back to the basics approach.. A quote from the show "You have 72 items on the menu, but you only sell 20" Goodbye to the things that don't carry their weight!

So, if you have an opinion as well. Tell us. and YES--you can be mad and let us know..lol

Feel free to step in and say "Hey Spell, CHANGE THIS!!!" email cservice@spellcosmetics.com

Private Label FAQ's

Thank you everyone for your interest in this new program at Spell. We truly believe that we have an opportunity to make some much needed changes and offer a new way to bring your creative ideas to the cosmetics industry. So, based on the email questions, we'd like to try to answer as many questions as we can.

1. What is the Spell "Private Label Program"? :: After careful consideration and trying to determine the best approach we decided to offer a way for you to design collections with colours that you have in mind. Creativity is important and we know there are some of you wanting to put those ideas into reality. Its also truly a way for you to explore some new business ventures. These are products that will become YOURS to do with as you please. They will not be placed on the Spell Site or sold by us.

2. How does the program differ from other Private Label lines or Bulk suppliers?:: With Spell Private label, the colors designed are your choice. There are no bulk sales of pigments to just choose from. We manufacture the colors for you to match what you have in mind. They are still built using our own 3 Tier patented design formula and that bulk is yours. In addition, you have the ability to choose pre packaged jars or 1 oz bulk delivered of your color. Your design is maintained but private and never released to anyone but you.

3. How do I start?:: We've made the program as simple as possible and as cost effective to you so that you have the ability to sell and actually make some money!!

Step 1: Visit the Spell Store and click on "Private Label"
Step 2: Choose which program you like and purchase that one.
Step 3: You will receive a welcome email from us.
Step 4: Elle will personally contact you and discuss the colors you have in mind. (Feel free to gather pics of other colors you like or a photo with a color in it you desire.) You can email those to her.
Step 5: Once the color is formulated- you will recieve the sample to review and tweek with her or approve.
Step 6: Your Color will be formulated, bulked and warehoused as your items are shipped to you.
We will store your color for future refills.
Step 7: Along with your items will be a confidentiality letter as we will maintain the strictest privacy with who has purchased the program. These are yours to sell, all we have done is the manufacturing.

4. Can you do my labeling? At this time we only have the ability to print in black so we cant provide labels, however, if you have your own logo in mind we can and will assist in Photoshop design for you and provide ideas and some limited help.

5. Where can I sell? Do I have to mention Spell? You can sell anywhere!, Your own online store, ebay, etsy, in your salon, or out of your trunk..lol They are your colours and NO you do not have to mention your manufacturer as Spell. We hope its a way of bringing a ton of new competition and colour ideas into the cosmetic industry--We just want you to have fun doing it with an outlet to help. So start your own cosmetics company whether full or part time and get it out there!!! We'd even link your store to our website, blogs etc if you desire..

6. I'm a VIP or PRO Member, Can I use my discount? Because we have made this program as inexpensive as possible so you can re-sell in profit, we would ask that if you are VIP or Pro that you email us before this purchase and allow us to remove that from your account in this one instance, we will immediately re update the account after this purchase.

We hope this helped and if you have any more questions email us at cservice@spellcosmetics.com with Private Label in the title! Just have fun, get involved and be creative!!

Want your own colour or collection?

We are VERY excited about this! We are known for creating collections for some of the biggest gurus on YouTube, not to mention the ones we do for boutiques currently.

Again, we know the economy has everyone down, feeling like they have no way to get ahead. If you've ever looked into private label, it is very cost prohibitive because of the order minimums, not to mention it isn't unique or customized in any way.

Private Label with Spell Cosmetics will give you an opportunity to create 1 colour at a time, that you will be able to sell through your blog, online store, etc. By working with Elle, who has a proven track record of success with creating colours that are big sellers (Blueberry Fizz anyone?!), you are guaranteed to get exactly what you are looking for, quickly, without going through trial & error & wasting materials.

We will be listing this as an option on the website in the next few days, but in the meantime, we want to hear your thoughts on this!!! Leave a comment here, on our FB fanpage, Twitter or email us at: cservice@spellcosmetics.com with Private Label in the header of your message!

Spell Cosmetics Refer a Friend Program!

We LOVE that so many of you pass on the word about Spell Cosmetics! Whether you retweet our messages, or share your hauls & looks on YouTube, or even shout out the colour of the eyeshadow you're wearing when some one compliments you! We KNOW that word of mouth is how our company has continued to grow since our launch in 2007.

We receive many requests for us to send out free products for the purpous of having people review them...we don't operate that way. We LOVE to give free gifts with purchase, do random contests through social media, & occassionally we send out a random gift to our clients just because we can.

That being said, we'd like to reward those of you that are into Spell Cosmetics, whether you are a current client, a friend of ours or you just like what we're about! We are of course controversial ingredient free, cruelty free, & created by a makeup artist with 20 years experience.

How does the Refer a Friend Program work? It's VERY simple!

Any of your friends & followers that register on our site can list your name in the section that says "Were You Referred To Us?" They can use your customer name, twitter name or Youtube name, whichever you prefer!

For every 10 people that lists you as a referral, you will receive a $5 credit to Spell.

PLUS...

Each person you refer will recieve a 10% discount for signing up that they can use on their first order!

PLUSSSS....

YOU will receive 10% of the order total in either Spell Cosmetics credit or sent to your Paypal account~ you choose! Just make sure you are registered on our website, www.spellcosmetics.com.

All you have to do is spread the word! Our system automatically tracks the orders with referrals! We will notify you on the 15th & 30th of each month thru August what your totals are!

We know you guys are very creative, so you can get the word out any way you would like! If there are products you specifically love, this is a great time to shout them out! Your friends get a discount & you get some cosmetics or cash! We keep hearing that the economy has everyone down, & we're going to help change it!

xoxo~ elle

Cruelty Free ALL THE WAY!

I noticed the other day, that the back of tube of lotion from a major manufacturer took the time to designate that "The final product is not tested on animals"... huh???

I know exactly what this means. It is a legal disclaimer that bridges the gap between not testing on animals as the manufacturer, but using ingredients that HAVE been tested on animals by their raw materials suppliers. It's a technicality that has no comforting power for those of us who are animal lovers & want to be certain that what we are using has not in any way contributed to the harm of any animal along the way.

Of course the manufacturer knows this, they just don't think you will catch it.

I have read every MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for every ingredient that is used in the composition of my products. But this is only step one! I then have to research the parent company that produces the specific ingredient to determine if they test any of their ingredients on animals which would then result in my NOT using them as a supplier, even if the specific ingredient I need is not tested. I rely on several Chem Index resources for this information as well as the sales reps for the suppliers I use who supply me with the MSDS sheet straight from the original manufacturer.

It's sticky & here's why: many ingredients have mixed purpous usages since they fall under the category of FD & C (food, drug, & cosmetics).

Here's an interesting fact: a trademarked ingredient used in many lipgloss bases is also used in school/govermental hamburgers so that it helps bind it together & maintain a congruent shape. But I digress.

Spell Cosmetics does not, will not use any ingredient tested on animals, & our final product is 100% Cruelty Free. With the exception of our Gloss Pots, our products are Vegan. A small percentage of Beeswax is used for the Gloss Pots because it helps anchor the density of the pigment load without "bleeding" from body heat. I made this choice over petro based waxes, but that is a blog for another time.

Spell has demonstrated their commitment to being cruelty free by designing a special collection in 2008 for a non-profit group called Marilyn's Voice, who are anti Puppy Mills.

I've said it before & I will say it again now: Principles before Profits!

xoxo~Elle

Online "Make-Overs" by Elle!

During the holiday season, it was my goal to send every single Facebook Fan a detailed list of the products I would use on them if they were a client in my chair~ I couldn't make it through the list! That's a good & bad thing, as it was my intention to make this a holiday gift for everyone & failed, but it's good that there are so many of you that I couldn't do it!

One of the only ways I can insure that my work is exactly what a client is looking for is to do a thorough client consultation. Without this, I am only guessing what we are trying to achieve and I find that the security of not skipping this step is much more satisfying than explaining it away later!

I would love nothing more than to work on each and every one of you in real life, but it's simply not practical! So, I have come up with a compromise~ if you would like me to do a comprehensive consultation for you, email me at:
makemeover@spellcosmetics.com with the following information:

1) a current photo of yourself so I can see your hair & skin colouration

2) tell me what type of look you are most interested in, such as: work day, prom, bridal, club, etc so that I can best help you with my selections

3) please tell me what colours you DON'T like to see yourself in~ it's easier to define what we don't like than what we Do like!

I will send you a detailed email in return with my Spell Cosmetics shade selections, how I would lay them out step by step, and why I have selected them for you.

This is a FREE service from me, as my way of letting you know that you're important to Spell Cosmetics! Also, you will receive a 48 hour 25% off VIP pass to shop with if you are registered at www.spellcosmetics.com

This is also a FANTASTIC way to shop for friends & family! With Mother's Day coming soon, it's a great way to "Make-Over your Mom"! I also love this option for mother's that have daughters wanting to begin wearing makeup but not sure how to go about it.

Can't wait to hear from you soon!

The Pinned-Up Collection to benefit Shriners Hospitals

Everyone knows Spell Cosmetics loves a great party, so we decided to throw one ourselves! Pinned-Up is going to be a fantastic night of Retro & Rockabilly with a Pin-Up Girl Fashion Show & Lords of the Highway (voted Best Live Act, Scene Magazine 2005)! We'll be creating gorgeous vintage looks on some of Cleveland's top models using Spell Cosmetics & Cibu International hair products. Our Madame of Ceremonies, Danielle, will do a Burlesque performance.

This event will benefit Shriners Hospitals~ a network of hospitals that provide operations to children at no cost or financial obligation to the patient or family.

Since Spell Cosmetics has clients from around the globe (& you have no idea how exciting that is to me!), we wanted to create a collection that benefits Shriners Hospitals and create awareness for all that they do.

Pinned-Up contains 6 products in shades I use to create most of my Pin-Up looks for photoshoots. It seemed like the perfect time to bring back a cream lipstick in RockaBettie Red, a vintage pink Gloss Pot in Pinned-Up Pink, Silk Stockings Shadow, Martini Time Shadow, Gibson Girl Blush...and the introduction of our new creme/gel liner!

You can find this collection in our New Releases

We also have a Pin-Up contest going on our YouTube Channelhttp://www.youtube.com/user/spellcosmetics?feature=mhw4

Thank you so much for supporting Spell Cosmetics, by being our friends, clients, subscribers to our social media! You guys ROCK!!!

Filter- Translucent Perfecting Power Launched!

After working with Filter on photoshoots for the last 3 months, I am excited to launch the most amazing finishing tool you will ever experience! ( I don't say that lightly!)

This powder is so perfect it thinks it's a liquid! Unlike mineral "veils", Filter is a combination of ingredients that create a blurring effect on fine lines and pores combined with refatting agents that include: Vitamin E, Jojoba and essential oils of orange, eucalyptus, patchouli and ylang ylang. This fusion softens dry parched skin while at the same time is oil absorbant! This also means that air borne dust is reduced, so that it's kinder to the respiratory system.

Completely translucent~ no shade matching necessary! Use alone or over a finished face. You won't believe the way your skin feels to the touch!
Hexane Free! (in addition to all of the other controversial ingredients Spell Cosmetics are free from).

Specially priced at 40% off now during our Customer Appreciation Sale.

Before and After with Spell Cosmetics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyPleCPip3M
This is the first in my series of before & after videos. The goal with this model was to create a soft wearable daytime look that warms the complexion and brings her features into sharper focus. We also focused on reducing the appearance of uneven skin texture & blemishes.

One of the attributes of Spell Cosmetics is that it is formulated to be kind to even the most sensitive skin types and post operative conditions. At the onset of Spell, many of my clients had been seeing dermatologists for laser treatments, peels, and microdermabrasion. We couldn't use traditional cosmetics on these clients, and that was the beginning of the mineral revolution. Our foundation & blushes contain skin clarifying & healing ingredients that foster the foundation of healthy happy skin.

Our Harmony Foundation is "self-leveling"...meaning it is created with both warm & cool tones to create a perfect neutral. Available in 6 shades, starting with Porcelain, Delicate, Medium, Rich, Mocha & Sable. Each colour is created to filter uneven pigmentation and naturally correct hues that are "too red" "too sallow" etc. We use our blushes to create tonal value.

Our Soft Focus Blushes are specially formulated for optimal light dispursement (meaning a healthy glow!), as well as a delicate balance of clear tone colour. Never streaky, just soft gorgeous colour that won't settle into fine lines.

Best value for trying Spell Cosmetics? The You Pick Kit! YOU choose: 3 eyeshadow, 1 blush, 1 foundation, 1 lip pot & 1 Obvious Gloss

Why Spell Cosmetics?

One of the things that sets Spell Cosmetics apart from fly-by-night companies that have decided to "make make-up", is that we care about what chemicals we are all exposed to. Studies have shown that bio-accumlation of unhealthy chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, talc, & bismuth oxychloride are known hormone disrupters, respiratory hazards, and the subject of ongoing scrutiny. While the FDA is okay with the use of some of these ingredients, Spell Cosmetics has chosen to avoid using them in their formulations.

As a make-up artist & stylist, Elle, the founder/CEO of Spell Cosmetics has been exposed to a much higher than usual rate to unpleasant chemicals. Having worked with over 40,00 people in her 20 year career, it's frightening to consider the rate of exposure via breathing air-borne dust and absorbing it through the skin.

In an article in Live Well Magazine, Elle is quoted as saying, "I wanted to find out: Does it compromise the integrity of the product to create fabulous color that yields a desirable effect for the skin without the inclusion of controversial ingredients?" The answer she found out, is no.

Spell Cosmetics was created as an extension of how Elle uses colour & texture on clients and models~ from real-life, to runway to photography. Her portfolio is unique, diverse & extensive.

We know that there are countless companies to choose from for cosmetics, but Spell Cosmetics is "Cosmetics with a Conscience".

The following article explains more about parabens, and the Precautionary Principle which Spell Cosmetics abides by.

The Smolder Collection by Spell Cosmetics

Perfectly dramatic or demure depending on how you use it! This is a fantastic day into night collection that is a gilded interpretation of classic neutrals.

For day, consider Antiquity from the lashline (upper and lower) through the crease and applying black with a small dome brush along the lash line to bolster the shape of the eye. Use with Centerfold for a gorgeous nude that counterbalances the use of the eye colour.

For night, go long on the drama, by using Antiquity to highlight the inner corners of the eyes and along the brow bone. Work Treasure in from the center of the lid to the end of the lash line. Use Black in the outer V to create a deep dramatic eye. You can used centerfold again, with a little Locket in the center of your pout, or go for a metallic drenched pucker by using only Locket.

Fantastic Value, at only $24.99!!! www.spellcosmetics.com

Say Good-bye to our Obvious Glosses, Hello to whole new line-up!

20 Glosses, named after 20 guru greats! As many of you know, Spell Cosmetics launched it's Obvious Gloss line by naming each shade after our first 20 clients & YouTube subscribers. At that time, everyone was a "fledgeling" guru, making fantastic & fun videos sharing their love for make-up, and Spell was just begining to get off the ground as well. I LOVE seeing how much everyone has grown!

We will be retiring this line on Friday so that we can introduce 3 dynamic new ranges of lip colour! Each shade has been marked down, so stock up on your favorites!

We are still negotiating to make Spell Cosmetics available through "brick and mortar" stores, and can't wait to release our new lip selections on Saturday!

I would personally like to thank each person that inspired these glosses: Rae, Nat, Raine, Danielle, Kimmy, Cathy, Summer, Jacque, Nikki, Mari, Shawna, Holly, Laurel, Elise, Luciana, Haley, Pamela, Melissa, Annie, and Jo! You ladies are beautiful and I adore you all!
