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!

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!
