BSC Update!

Hello everyone! Just to give you guys a heads-up of whats going on.... BSC is moving! My darling (sometimes) husband is in the Army, so we do a lot of moving. Hes going to stay on active duty for one more year and if I have to spend another year in Wisconsin Ill probably hang myself. So, Michigan, here I come! I can't tell you what a relief this is. As for after the move, we have a lot of exciting things coming up for you guys. We have a bunch of super cute shadows coming out, including some newly reformulated mattes. I know some people were having problems with Birthday Suit and Porcelain. Thats all fixed now! We've also got some cream shadows and blushes coming in the next few weeks. I know theres been a lot of lovelies anxiously looking forward to blushes. Also keep your eyes peeled for lip gloss. We've got a lot of great things for you guys. As for the contest... I hope to have the final three up tonight. It has been super hard to narrow it down to three. There were so many great ideas! I have also decided that since there were so many sweet people with such nice ideas that I will send a free eyeshadow to all those who participated. Or if you would rather, take $7 off any other item. I will be sending out email replies to that later today. Thanks again everyone!

New Twitter feature: Bellas Pick of the Day

Anyone whos been following us for a while knows that our company was named after my sweet 2 1/2 year old Bella. Bella is a makeup enthusiast to say the least. When is time for me to do my makeup for the day, Bella picks her own color that she gets to wear (in the house only) for exactly a half hour. So weve decided to make a fun little feature for Twitter. The color that Bella picks that day will be available in our store for 50% all day. Todays color is Coco Cay! A beautiful blue/green duochrome. Get yours for 50% now!

New Year, New Name Contest!!!!

Hello lovelies!!!! Is every one ready for a contest???

We recently were informed by some lovely readers that there is a bloggy beauty thingy operating by the name BellaSugar. We do not want people to think that we are trying to use others for our own publicity (they have been around WAY longer than us), so we have decided to change our name. We decided that we should hold a little.... ok, huge.... contest to allow our fabulous customers to choose a new name. The rules are simple, and as follows:

1. Pick an original name that you think fits us well. We like anything sweets-related (cupcakes to be exact)! Please no obsecne entries.

2. Email your name idea to bscnewyearnewname@yahoo.com with your original idea, your name, your email, and your twitter/facebook/retweet/blog follow/blog post link. Make sure the subject line reads "New year, new name contest".

3. You are allowed one entry for the following:
A. Facebook follows
B. Twitter Follows
C. Retweets of contest tweet (Copy and paste in the email)
D. Mentions of contest in your blog (posts only, no sidebars. Link in email)
E. Blog follows

For better chances of getting picked, make sure you submit a different idea with every chance!!!!

What will you be winning???
A prize package of our goodies worth hundreds of dollars!!!! Total prize details will be listed in a new post.

How will we choose a name?
We won't! You will!!!! We will go through all the entries submitted and narrow it down to three we like. Then we will put it to a vote! The person who gets the most votes will win, so make sure you get as many people to follow via twitter, facebook, and blog as you can!!!!

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!!
