Why can't I just use art or craft glitter for make up?

When using glitter as a cosmetic, you should ALWAYS use cosmetic grade glitter. I frequently have to tell customers that even though craft glitter is just as pretty and less expensive, there is a reason it is not approved for use as a cosmetic by the FDA.

There are many reasons a glitter may not be approved for cosmetic use. One is just simply a majority of individuals are allergic or sensitive to an ingredient used in the product. Mild symptoms can be caused - like blood shot, itchy, swollen or watery eyes and the individual may ...

Copyright Infringement



Copyright Infringement!

We have been getting reports of people stealing other artists work on a more regular basis lately. First hand, Dawn just had an image of hers published on Facebook by another person claiming the work to be one of their own. Unfortunately, with the internet, this is becoming more and more common and it is virtually impossible to catch all of it. For every image that is found, there are a dozen more that I’m sure we don’t know about.

There’s no way to fully protect your image. If someone really wants it, they will find a way to get it. Here’s a recent article I came across that highlights some of the methods to prevent copyright infringement.

The same author, Jennifer Kyrnin, wrote this article which I came across when googling for information and it inspired me to comment about copyrights here.

Fortunately for Dawn, her artwork is very recognizable, along with many of the other artists in our network. Most of the time, when looking at images on various sites, I know who the artist is without even looking at the credits - just by the style of the art. As do most of the other artists in our industry. So when an individual claims work that is not their own and posts it online, emails start flying and the culprit is called out.

I have plenty more to say on this topic, but I’m trying to keep it from becoming a research paper. So look for future posts on more specific aspects of copyright laws and how to protect yourself as an artist.

 

Our NEW and IMPROVED Website

We're Back!!!

As most of you know our site went down in July due to server/hosting issues. We decided to use this as an opportunity! We had a brainstorming session on all our options and believed this would be the best time to recreate our entire site! This project has been a long, hard and painful transition, for you, our customers and we greatly appreciate your patience during this transition.

Personally, it has been since July that I have had more than a few hours of sleep and 3 square meals in a single day. It has all been worth it though, and I'm happy to say we're excited about the changes!

Unfortunately we have lost all our customer logins, so returning customers will have to create a new account. It will only take a couple of minutes.

 In celebration of this event, we are offering our loyal customers 20% off of their HD makeup purchases through September 15th!
