9 Best-Sellers Palette Swatches

New Item!

Just added today is the 9 color palette! I have added the best-sellers for now, but substitutions are always welcome! Pick whatever colors you want! Each shadow is 26mm square, which is a little more than 2 grams of shadow, depending on the shadow. Thats half a gram more than a single shadow!

Reviews

I am going to be adding a review section to my website and I know there are many of you who have done reviews for your blogs, etc. I would love if you would allow me to post links! If you would like your link posted, leave it in the comments section below or email it to me at bellasugarcosmetics@yahoo.com. If you have purchased or received a product but don't have a blog and would like to write a review you can also email it to me. Feel free to be as honest as possible. if you think everything was horrible and you didn't like it one bit, please share! Future customers deserve an unbiased opinion. Thanks everyone!!!! :D

Birthday program

At Bella Sugar Cosmetics, we are always looking for new ways to show our customers how much we <3 them. SO my fabulous buisness partner (and totally HOT husband) and I came up with a plan: The Birthday Program. When you place your first order with us, let us know your birthday so we can send you a free BSC treat to celebrate! The treat will be based on your previous orders, so you don't get sometthing you already have or probably wouldn't like. And it wont be just a sample, it will be a full-sized product. If you have placed an order with us and haven't shared your birthday with us, please email me with your name and birthday so I can add you to my calendar. If you don't want to share your entire birthday, just the month is fine too!

New Limited Edition Palettes!

Sorry about the horrible pic! I left my nice camera on the deck on accident and it got rained on! So we're going to be using the cell phone pics for now! These are some new, limited edition palettes, and I must say, I love them! They are the cutest. Hurry up and get them while you still can! As usual, you can pick whatever colors you would like for your palettes. I've also got a few new colors coming out here real soon. Check back!

Grays and Dream Shadows

So going over all the swatches, I noticed a serious lacking of grays in our fabulous color arsenal. Then I got to thinking, I have never worn gray before!!!! Any ladies out there love gray shadow???? Im thinking a deep smoky matte or maybe a lighter matte with silver sparkles! Everyone loves sparkles!!!!

If I had to chose my favorite shadow ever, it would be Gaillardia or Casey. Those are my go-to colors when I don't know what to do. What are some of your dream shadows? I'm thinking of running a contest where all my lovely followers chime in with their idea of a dream shadow, and one random follower will get that shadow made into reality! A true one-of-a-kind! Let me know if you are interested!!

Mother's Day Special!

Sunday is Mothers Day. As a mommy, I know how much we all go through on a daily basis to make sure our families are takien care of. I don't know about any of you, but I detest laundry and dishes!!!!!!! To all my follower-moms out there, you guys are the best. At the end of the day, you have made more of an impression on the lives of your children then you can ever imagine.

For the remainder of today and Sunday until midnight, any order placed will get a free shadow single. I know that really is no big deal when you consider the LOVELEYNESS of childbirth (26 hours of labor, anyone?) but every little something extra helps right? :)

On the website, checkout as you normally would and then add it to the messages section (that way you don't have to pay any extra shipping)or on Etsy specify the color in the message to seller section. One per order, please! :)

A little behind-the-scenes peek

I get a lot of people asking me where I got my name from. Well, here it is:

This is Bella. My sugar. Bella Sugar!!!!! She has several other nicknames: Stinky Monkey, Tinkerdoodle, Trouble... None so fitting for the name of a cosmetics empire. Her favorite things are her cat Spunky, her pacifier, bananas and cheese, NAIL POLISH, and her baby brother Coltt. She also likes to take her crayons and pretend shes putting on lipstick or eye shadow. I think we have a diva on our hands!

Four Color Combo Wheels!

These are super awesome. They contain 12 grams of shadow (three grams of each color), which is double the single shadow. And its $4 cheaper than buying them all individually! Thats a good deal! And the colors are combined in the two pans, so you can mix them along the edge and get 2 additional totally different colors!

This one is Smoked-Out Sparkle, but feel free to choose whatever color combinations you would like.

CURRENTLY THESE ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON ETSY AT ETSY.COM/SHOP/BELLASUGARCOSMETICS.

They will be available at bellasugarcosmetics.com as soon as technical issues are worked out.

Super Easy Neutral Eye

This look is super easy to do. I give it a 3 on the Complications Scale. A 1 would be no shadow at all and a ten being that ever-difficult perfect smokey eye! I do this look as my everyday go-to look. Sometimes when I'm feeling saucy I'll toss on a little liquid eyeliner. YAY!


On to the instructions:

1. Apply some sort of base for the eye shadow to adhere to. You can use concealer, foundation, a creme eyeshadow, or fancy things like Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Primer Potion. I used plain old foundation, MAC Studio FX.
2. Apply BSC Naked Sparkle all over the lid with a small eyeshadow brush.
3. Apply BSC Vanilla from your eye crease onto your browbone. Blend lightly with Naked Sparkle.
4. Take your handy-dandy crease brush and work in a little Sinnamon into your crease and to the outer 3rd of your eyelid. Blend with the Vanilla and Naked Sparkle so there are no harsh lines.
5. Put on a few coats of mascara and admire your good work! I used CoverGirl Lash Blast. I think. Something like that....

Wasn't that easy? No one said cute makeup had to be hard!

Ideas?

If anyone has ideas about scents that you would like to see in our shop, request them below in the comments section! If you have an idea for an awesome shadow you would like to see, let me know! I might even name it after you. Here's your chance to tell a cosmetics company what you would like to see, take advantage of it!

Shower Jellies!

They are ready for your enjoyment! Our shower jellies are a wallet-friendly alternative to the shower jelly from that famous company we all know and love! And don't think that because the price is lower that the quality will be too. That is definitely not the case! They smell so good, and they're even heart-shaped! What's not to love?

Currently the scents we carry are:
Delicious Apple
Coconut
Coconut Lime
Green Tea and Cucumber
Basil Citrus
J&J Baby Wash
Cucumber Melon
Sweet Pea
Mint Eucalyptus
Vanilla
Love Spell

Check back next week as we will be adding Leather, Pink Sugar, Cheesecake, Buttercream, Cherry Blossom, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Rose, Strawberries and Champagne, and Sugared Pear!
