On our current site we are limited to the features we can offer and our cart is not very versatile. That is all about to change. We have been working very hard for the last 6 months to be able to offer customers more deals, products, easier access and increased customer service support. A few of the new options/features we are offering are:<br />
<br />
** Customer Log-ins (YES, customer log-ins) - customers will have their own profile that will store their information, birthday, shipping/mailing address, past and pending orders and profile discount (if applicable)<br />
<br />
** Real-time Shipping - real time processing, shipped and delivered updates on the user profile by order<br />
<br />
** Shopping cart coupons and discount codes (finally we have coupon abilities) <br />
<br />
** Facebook intergratin - log in to our site with you Facebook ID<br />
<br />
** Customer applied discounts - We now have the ability to add discounts to certain customer's profiles ie. VIP customers, MUA's, Wholesalers, etc. *More information will be coming soon on how to apply those discounts to your account<br />
<br />
** Reward point program - Customers can accumulate points when making a purchase that can be used towards future purchases<br />
<br />
** Affiliate program - Qualifying customers will be able to earn $$ for successfully referring other customers * more information coming soon<br />
<br />
** And much much much more!!!<br />
@AccidentalDivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641076193799962644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981783944408148825.post-45726455910488226522011-02-13T11:30:00.000-08:002011-10-26T13:24:32.682-07:00Sorry, The Review Program has ended.I have received several emails, DMs and messages on our website questions why I chosen to end the Review Program.<br />
<br />
There are several reasons why I finally decided to end this option for reviewers. And since I have gotten so many inquiries I decided to answer publicly.<br />
<br />
As you know, Spectrum Cosmetics is a small business working itself up to become larger in the industry. We just do not have the resources to send out products that are not used for the legally agreed purpose.<br />
<br />
The main reason that I decided to end the review programs is that several applicants have not followed through with the process. I am currently in the middle of taking 3 "gurus" to court over $1600 in total of retail cosmetics that we sent to them believing they were legit MUAs. And there are so many more than that, that I've taken as a lose. I trusted, in the attempt to build a working business relationship with them and all they did was take advantage of our company and plainly committed fraud.<br />
<br />
I've also noticed that a lot, definitely not all, but of some of these YouTube gurus, Makeup Up Bloggers, etc have a sense of entitlement. They feel that small makeup cosmetics should just send them free products because we are some business and "need their help." I see this extremely disrespectful and ungrateful. I'm sorry to tell you, we don't necessarily need you. And it saddens me that I don't get the same respect for my hard work as a company that you can go to Ulta or Sephora and buy at a counter. And many don't know this but I was a Professional Makeup Artist 7 years because I started Spectrum, and I know quite well that with my experience and license there are VERY few leading industry cosmetic companies that I can send an email to asking to "Try" their products and they just send me products for free. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. The most you will get is referred to a store where you can "try" products on store display. You won't be sent anything and will not able to review those products in the comfort of your own home AND be able to keep products after the review is over.. which helps build their business as a MUA...<br />
<br />
And some people don't take into consideration the hard work, research and physical labor it takes to run a small business alone or with only a few workers. They nitpick, berate, and even steal from small businesses any time they can, just because they are small businesses. The honestly ruin it for everyone. Its almost like they want to destroy your work just because you're not a large company yet. I have NEVER seen any of the reviews that I speak of take so negatively about products they HAD to purchase themselves. We get treated like second rate and I refuse to continue that to happen. I feel that it should be an equal exchange but unfortunately its not, and I can and will no longer hold the financial burden.<br />
<br />
<br />
**** I do want to add that there are SEVERAL YouTube Gurus, Reviews, Magazines, Bloggers, etc that I absolutely love and have a great working relationship with. Honest, honorable, and business ethnical individuals that I am glad that I have met and worked with. I will NOT let this set back stop Spectrum Cosmetics from continuing to work with those companies and individuals. You know who you are and we TRULY appreciate you. ****@AccidentalDivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641076193799962644noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981783944408148825.post-85884091214254669522011-01-04T18:35:00.000-08:002011-01-04T18:35:28.079-08:00We have UPDATED our packagingWe have receieved several emails, tweets and surverys about the size of our pigment jars and we hear you!

<br />
We have reached out and sponsored a lot of 'Gurus,' Bloggers, Makeup artists and even photographers... out of the 42 people that we have sponsored (bartered with) over the last year, only 12 have actually did what they were supposed to do. :-/ I have sent about over $2,590 in product for promotion with sponsorees and honestly... I'm over it... I'm tired of people scamming, lying and just plainly talking advantage of our program.<br />
<br />
1. We will no longer be sponsoring or bartering with an individuals that have not been customers in the past. If you wouldn't spend your own money on your products, how could you advise others to try and buy it?<br />
<br />
2. Anyone we do choose to enter a bartering agreement with (product for advertisement) will be required to pay a discounted price and/or shipping<br />
<br />
3. If people do not follow up with the written or verbal agreement (ie. review, giveaway, look, tutorial, company write up, etc.) they will be charged full retail price for the product that was sent to them, will receive a demand letter from our newly hired lawyers and if necessary reported to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><a class="l" href="http://www.ic3.gov/" style="color: #1111cc; cursor: pointer;"><em style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">Internet</em> Crime Complaint Center </a> for fraud. (and if you didnt know... they don't play around when it comes to scams and fraud)</span><br />
<br />
This may seem extreme to some that are reading it but honestly... I just don't care.... I am running <b>business</b> and am taking it upon myself to reach out to others that work in the beauty industry to work together and I am the one that gets left holding the bill... I have a company that I am trying to support awareness for great cause (Autism) and more money has been lost on dishonest people and scams. We just can't do it anymore.@AccidentalDivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641076193799962644noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981783944408148825.post-71766029855638094842010-03-23T01:33:00.000-07:002010-03-23T01:35:40.537-07:00Transform You HAUL Contest (YT)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>"TRANSFORM YOU" HAUL CONTEST!</i></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Please excuse the pictures... I can't find my camera battery charger so all I can do I take pictures with my iPhone until I get a new one. I'm going to try to get one from Best Buy this week.<br />

For all the children and families affected by this disorder - and all those who will be - the time to act is now. More children will be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder this year than with AIDS, Diabetes & Cancer combined!<br />
Autism is a spectrum of psychological conditions characterized by widespread abnormalities of social interactions and communication, as well as severely restricted interests and highly repetitive behavior.<br />
<br />
My family knows first hand the frustration of Autism's mystery, knowing too well there is no medical detection or cure for Autism. My son Alijah, now 9 years old, is a child with Autism. I started this brand for him, my 6 year old daughter Aliyah, and all the children that are affected by this mysterious disorder.<br />
<br />
I created ɐ spectrum to give back to all those that feel the same frustration as I do.<br />
<br />
The ɐ (an upside down a) stands for the puzzle of Autism, along with the impact it personally has on my family and others like us. The a also relates to my family personally because all of our names start with the letter A. You will also notices Spectrum spelled with a 3 for the E, also a symbol that this is our fight together, the three of us. This brand will reflect our love, strength and our hope for the future of our family and families like ours.<br />
<br />
With the purchase of any ɐ spectrum branded Spectrum Cosmetics products ALL the proceeds with go directly to Autism Research and Education."</span></i></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is an excerpt from my website. I tried to explain why I choose Spectrum and Autism but I didn't want to be to long winded. Well since this is my blog, I can do what I want :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So many people know, my son Alijah is a child with Autism. And we all know or have heard a lot about Autism in the last couple of years because of </span><span style="font-size: small;">Jenny McCarthy, Toni Braxton, Halle Robinson Pete, etc. But what be don't realize is there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND of families that are not famous that have brothers, sister, cousin, grandchildren etc that suffer from Autism.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Its become an pandemic! When I was 7 years old 1 in 11,000 children when diagnosed with Autism. Movies like <i>Rain Man</i> were made and no one knew what Autism is or knew anyone with it. Now I'm 28, now its 1 in 150 and some places are reporting 1 in 90. That is INSANE when you think of the numbers of children that are suffering. These days everyone knows at least one child or adult that is Autistic. Some not being able to talk, feed themselves, relate to family members, socialize or focus on anything and all of it without a true cause. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Let me say first off.. I'm HORRIBLE at using primers... I always feel like they are dulling my color with the the color of the primer and clear or no color primers don't ever do the job... maybe I'm wrong... whatever (lol)<br />
<br />
<br />
My concerns when designing:<br />
Sanitation - I wanted to make a mixing medium that can be used in the most sterile way possible. No pouring in caps or spilling.<br />
Staying power - make a primer that will help eyeshadows, pigments, and even glitters stay longer<br />
Preservation - The mixing medium is water based and that can cause bacteria to grow within and cause the product to go back within two months or so without the right preservatives.<br />
<br />
I also wanted to design a water based mixing medium that can be as natural as possible. So I researched for a few weeks and I tried a few formulas. Finally I decided on a great formula and started to test it.<br />
<br />
<i>The final formula contents:</i><br />
<br />
<b>Distilled Water</b><br />
<br />
<b>Glycerol</b> {Glycerin} - Effective humectant & moisturizer that attracts water to the intercellular space of the skin<br />
<br />
<b>Tocopheryl Acetate</b> {Vitamin E} - potent antioxidant, increases SPF, moisturizing & antiaging effect (improves skin surface relief), enzyme activity (faster wound healing), soothing & anti-inflammatory properties & promotes epithelisation.<br />
<br />
<b>Anyhemis nobilis</b> {Chamomile} - antiseptic, antibiotic, disinfectant, bactericidal & vermifuge<br />
<br />
<b>Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice</b> - Potent moisturizer, regenerating & healing agent, anti-inflammatory effects & anti-aging effects.<br />
<br />
<b>Tetrasodium EDTA</b> - an organic compound used as an preservative<br />
..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I tried two colors with and without the mixing medium.<br />
<br />
<br />

I did a 8 hour test on my hand and I took a few pictures. I figured a hand test was better than full makeup. If it could withstand being on my hand while I'm rubbing against things and holding hands with my kids from time to time it would do AWESOME on eyes that have less contact.<br />
<br />
I chose to use the Spectrum Cosmetics pigment FAMOUS because its a larger particle pigment AND metallic. I did not use any primer or anything on my fans. They were freshly washed with no lotion. You will notice some redness on my hand. I dyed it with coloring while making Ambrosia.<br />
<br />
I started at 11:30am before I left the house to run errands.<br />

I went to several stores and even put groceries in the car and as you can see both sides are still sticking very well.<br />
<br />

I took this in the car on the way home. As you can see the FAMOUS pigment without the Mixing Medium has rubbed off a little but is still sticking to my bare hand pretty well.<br />
<br />
<br />

8:29pm - Left side FAMOUS with Mixing Medium; Right side FAMOUS without Mixing Medium<br />
I took this right after I washed the dishes.. I honestly forgot I was doing the test by then. As you can see the FAMOUS without is completely gone but the the FAMOUS pigment with the Mixing Medium still there a little even after being in and out of water.<br />
<br />
I was very happy with this test, and surprised with the results. I picked aluminum spray bottles so that the mixing medium can be sprayed directly on the your brushes. Its cleaner and it prevents the waste of product. We will start production of the Wet & Set Mixing Medium and will have available on the site very soon.<br />

So I decided to try a few formulas. I want something that would not be too runny and that wouldn't feather. Not too oily and not too sticky. Just enough too glide over your lip.

Needless to say we sold out 300 in two weeks. Unfortunately when I went back to the manufacture to purchases more lip gloss tubes the ones that they sold us originally we now discounted (yea like they didn't know that was going to happen when I ordered them)<br /><br />I finally found a company that could make them for me but in a different design. So now we have new packaging for the Ambrosia Lip Colors. There isn't a big difference. The new tube is rounded at the bottom and holds more 2 ml of color but I decided not to change the prices (yay)<br /><br /><br />I took this picture about 1 minute ago... its an iphone picture with low lighting so deal with it. I just wanted to show the new packaging :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMXMNDL8jgeM0D0p1TtjPXaRlahBv3-pVqlZHjf1DABqb74zp166wu69_N8gTZY5Q5XJlYI0IM2AEpmnP5jU6FVEVq_hFIK-zMMhYb08SCadG1mtjmYENt_X1t9ghg4vt-K0IbSYwe6gC/s1600-h/photo-127.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMXMNDL8jgeM0D0p1TtjPXaRlahBv3-pVqlZHjf1DABqb74zp166wu69_N8gTZY5Q5XJlYI0IM2AEpmnP5jU6FVEVq_hFIK-zMMhYb08SCadG1mtjmYENt_X1t9ghg4vt-K0IbSYwe6gC/s320/photo-127.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442608329341554066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhE8ViAG1TOfsSz_yHDOO8aLIz6EvtWbDQPCHVUFBVhxzKQiPcSzEEMdDWTCQvf2yn7i9LaRWChJnZTJxHVgpi02TJQGt8aQEhqqc7EF_b_15VfgzdjDHePqZlkfFiwndv2YrV667TB1x/s1600-h/photo-126.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhE8ViAG1TOfsSz_yHDOO8aLIz6EvtWbDQPCHVUFBVhxzKQiPcSzEEMdDWTCQvf2yn7i9LaRWChJnZTJxHVgpi02TJQGt8aQEhqqc7EF_b_15VfgzdjDHePqZlkfFiwndv2YrV667TB1x/s320/photo-126.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442608633619035138" border="0" /></a></center><br /><br />**This post may be edited in the future to add more information**@AccidentalDivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15641076193799962644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981783944408148825.post-10008328169330967092010-02-25T10:51:00.000-08:002010-02-25T11:01:01.061-08:00Sweetheart Box Collection<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', serif; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">I was trying to think of some new color ideas for Valentine's Day and a friend of mine suggested that I used my myPANTONE and Color Expert software that we use for graphic design & photography processing. I was so surprised that I didn't think of that before. For those that are unfamiliar with Pantone its a standard color-matching system used by graphic designers, painters, interior designers etc for inks, paints, fabrics, papers etc. If you have an iPhone (yay) there are two applications I would recommend, myPANTONE & Color Expert. I own them both and use them daily. The differences are how you can interact with the color wheel. I like them both and use them together most of the time. They are $9.99 each and both very worth it. (Good Pantone color wheel software for the PC or MAC can start at $150 and up) Soooo... anyway... I found a 2 pink color that I liked and I had the color wheel produce 4 Complementary colors.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><img src="http://www.accidentaldiva.com/1photo.jpg" width="300" > </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><img src="http://www.accidentaldiva.com/2photo.jpg" width="300"></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> I picked 4 colors from each swatch and got to work.
