New Mineral Powder Product information!!

Mineral Eye Colors:

 

I love the 6 colors they selected to launch---they will be great to work with!   I also LOVE the fact that 6 of them fit beautifully in the new compact.  I thought they would look really small, but they don't at all.  They are a little softer than our present line and I like that. 

 

Granite:  The most unique from anything we've previously had.  If you remember when we had theoriginal bronze & silver eyecycles:  this color is like the original bronze eyecycle with a little silver added in.  It's a shimmer.  I love it!

 

Honey Spice:  if you remember that gorgeous Honey Glaze we used to have, Honey Spice is similar, only BETTER, with a shimmer effect.  I really love this color.... I think this will be a best seller.  It can go as a neutral even though it has that hint of warmth that Robert Jones says we need to look younger!

 

Sweet Cream:  This is a matte and when I compare it to white sand, it is not quite as stark.  The color in the Look Book makes it look a little more beige than it really is.   It will be a basic staple, much like white sand has been....only better.  Very pretty.

 

Navy:  YES!    I have been wanting a blue like this.  It is a clear navy, and is so beautiful to blend for a little dramatic look.

Much, much better than any of our existing blues.  It's a matte and is truly navy.....the Look photo makes it look almost black.  It's a deep color but it's not as black/dark as the photo.....it's navy.

 

Chocolate Kiss...  This shimmer reminded me first of Vintage gold, only it is a warmer tone.  Similar to Lucky Penny without the red undertone.

 

Sienna:  The closest description I can get to this is it is a matte and has less orange than the darkest color of Safari Sunset.

 

Mineral Cheek Colors:

 

I love the way these 2 items just appear in their containers.  They have a bit of shimmer to them which makes them look much more expensive.

 

Blush Shy is the pink I've always wanted!   In the pallette it reminds me of Wild Rose we used to have or Pink Flamingo, BUT it goes on softer.  So it looks brighter in the pallette than when it goes on.   Very, very, very pretty.

 

Golden Copper is the warm color and it is a little more copper and less red than the brown side of Sante Fe Sun.

 

The Compact: 

It looks very much like the picture.....and if you can imagine, only better.  I have never seen anything comparable with any cosmetic company.  I love the size....smaller than our custom compact.  So sleek, contemporary, unique, classy.   It really is a beautiful piece of art.

The magnetic sheer mineral pressed powders, brush and sponges that are customized to fit into the compact. 

All of the eye shadows, bronzers, highlighters and cheek colors magnetically fit into the compact. 

Mineral Bronzing Powders:

 

There are 4.  2 mattes and 2 shimmers and they can be used on the cheeks or eyes or face.  The Shimmer shades add natural highlights to the complexion and the mattes add warmth.

Mattes:  .a lighter one --Sandstone and darker one Bronze Diva. 

Shimmers:  a lighter one Desert Sun & darker one Canyon Gold (NOT the same colors as existing Gold Canyon cheek)  

 

Mineral Highlighting Powder:

Pink Porcelain (matte).....reminds me a white sand and a soft pink duo

Pink Stardust (shimmer)....reminds me of crystalline and a dusty mauve pink

 

I like mixing the two colors together when using them.  The pink porcelain can be used in areas you want to brighten.

 

The Color Insider book we've had for a year or so shows many places to use these bronzers and highlighters.

 

Mineral Pressed Powder

These are the pressed version of the colors we have with our Mineral Powder Foundations:  Ivory 1 and 2; Beige 1 & 2; Bronze 1&2.

 

Creme to Powder & Day Radiance Cream:

These are now packaged in the new plastic see-thru clamshell type case.

 

Subtle Tanning Lotion: 

I haven't tried this completely yet, but I love the consistency of the cream....very rich.   The scent is also appealing. 

Limited Edition  Mother's Day Set & MK Men's Set:

 

The MK 2-in-1 Body Wash & Shave and Hydrating Lotion come in a set with a Netted Body Sponge and a really beautiful black bag.  Is $28 so the bag and sponge are basically free.

 

MK Men Gift Set includes MK Men face bar, shave foam, cooling after shave gel and moisturizer with travel bag.  Is $60 so travel bag is free---it also looks small but it does hold all 4 of those items in their boxes.

Inventory Packaging: 

The actual product pallettes that insert into the compacts come in a plastic see-thru clamshell type case.  I really, really like the new packaging, but it will require transition and working out the best way to carry & stock inventory.  Right now, the company doesn't have a container that will hold them.  When they are standing up, there is no marking on the sides, so there's no way to visually glance at them and see a name on the side.  The color is written on the front of the product ....it looks very nice, so I'm thinking laying them and stacking them by color will be the best way to view our inventory by color.

 

Cosmetic Display Tray(in Section 2 & $3 ea.):

 

Quantities Limited Temporarily:

Because the company is now forseeing a much higher than anticipated demand for this new item, there will be new new temporary criteria on how this item may be purchased:

  • All Independent Sales Directors and above who place a $600 wholesale Section 1 order beginning Feb. 26, 2008, will qualify to order two display trays. For each additional $600 wholesale Section 1 order placed, two more Cosmetic Display Trays may be purchased.

    -For example, a $2,400 wholesale Section 1 order placed on Feb. 26, qualifies for ordering eight Cosmetic Display Trays.
     
  • For Independent Beauty Consultants, (including those who qualify for the Preferred Customer Program Early Offer, March 10-15), the same ordering limits go into effect.

    - For example, a $1,200 wholesale Section 1 order placed on March 10, through the Preferred Customer Program Early Offer, is eligible for the purchase of four Cosmetic Display Trays.
    - For example, an $1,800 wholesale Section 1 order placed on March 15, is eligible for the purchase of six Cosmetic Display Trays.

The Cosmetic Display Tray will not be offered as the Spring 2008 Month 3 BizBuilders bonus (May 16 - June 15, 2008), as printed in the March 16 Quarterly Power Plan. The Month 3 BizBuilders bonus will feature each of the two Summer 2008 Color Cards (pk./5).  Please also note that the printed Spring 2008 Early Ordering and Consultant order forms do not reflect these new ordering guidelines. 

Inventories and demand will be re-evaluated going forward and we will keep you posted on any changes to the criteria. We appreciate your understanding in giving everyone the opportunity to purchase this wonderful new item.

New Color Cards:

These have been reduced, are much smaller and are WITHOUT applicators.  So be sure to order sponge tip applicators for application.

Brochures:

I am so excited to see the LOOK doing such a beautiful job of including the new items AND the present line.

Order the Girl's Guide to Gorgeous Customer Brochure.  I usually don't order all the extra brochures, but this one is so classy, nicely done, our product looks so expensive!  No one can compete with the look of that brochure!

Hostess Gift:

VERRRRRY NICE!  A 3 piece black quilted cosmetic bag.  It has double handles, opens flat, and is smaller than the travel bags we used to have.  One side of the black fine mesh is zippered; the other side zips and is removable from velcro attachments.  The second bag is a quilted cosmetic bag for purse, shaped almost square---different than any previous and I love the shape.  The other small bag is bigger but similar in shape to the purple ones we had in the fall with the Holiday Eye quads and Lip duos.  

This color launch has been, and is, a huge change for us!   But it is a great change and I am very, very excited to show the new items.  The last time I waltzed by the Nordstrom makeup counter, I didn't see anything as eye appealing as what we are going to have!
