Tell Spell!

We always strive to be the company that makes you feel like we care what you think. We have had our trials and tribulations as all companies do, but we never forget the philosophy of why we exist.

It's our goal to provide our clients with cosmetics that are a good value, free of harmful ingredients, and products that actually do what we say they will. We back it up by posting our work on models from photoshoots and events. We try to keep things fun so that you feel like you're getting a good value for your hard earned money. We try to be charitable, because we're a company that feels it's important to give back.

Sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes things fall through the cracks. We always try to make it right.

So Tell Spell (Elle!)~ follow this link and fill out our survey!

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
