THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT....and the End of a Ten Year Era.....
Dear Clients....
After ten years in the mineral makeup business, it is time for me to make a solid committment to pursue other interests. Over the years I have gone back and forth in the mineral makeup world trying to find the perfect blend of a good product and sharing inspiration, and had an unbelieveable time meeting and sharing my products with women from around the world. But at some point, you have to know when it is time to move on to other endeavors. So, at this time, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that I am permanently stepping out of the mineral makeup business. Some of you might be saying or thinking "here we go again" and I don't blame you, but I can promise you that the mineral makeup portion of my life is officially and permanently coming to an end. There will be no new attempts at this industry because while I have thoroughly enjoyed this part of who I am, I know that it is time for it to be over. I have had an amazing time creating new colors and developing a clientelle that spans over 75 countries, but it is time for me to step aside and finally close the door on this portion of my life. So, as of today, November 4th, every eye color left on the site is $2.00 a jar. There will be no samples available since everything is being discontinued permanently.
If you are somebody who is either a makeup artist, or looking to start your own mineral makeup company, I will also be selling my recipes, and base ingredients. Over the years many of you have come to know me for the vast amount of eye colors I have created, and I would love the opportunity to share my knowledge and years of formulas and recipes with you, so if you are interested in obtaining/purchasing this information, please email me at missheather@heatheresque.com. Recipes will be available on a first come first serve basis, and once I have shared them and sold them to one company/person, they will no longer be available to anybody else. I would love nothing more than to pass on all that I have learned with somebody else who has a passion for this industry.
FORMER COLORS
Anybody who has ever been to my bricks and mortar location knows that I have an insane amount of About Face eye colors still sitting in enormous jars, and have held a lot of it back in order to make it available to local clients, but it all must go, so I will be pulling all this product out and simply posting anything that is available online. Due to the enormous amount of inventory left over I will not be able to honor email lists or requests at this time, so please place all orders directly through the web site. Quite frankly, everything must go, so you just never know what might show up here. Colors that have never been posted online will simply be put into grab-bags and sold in varying size packs, so stay tuned for that.
Since I do have a tremendous amount of local clients who have consistently purchased custom blended foundations and blushes, I will have these items available on a local level, so stay tuned for more information on that.
As far as the Cashmere line and other products created for the face, I am not going to mark any of these items down until I know what sort of quantities I have available, but if it is mineral related, it will be eliminated permanently so those formulas are for sale as well.
I would like to find homes for all of the products listed here and on the Eye Couture pages as quickly as possible rather than dragging it out for several months like we did when discontinuing the About Face colors, so get your colors while you can. I will no longer be manufacturing any sort of mineral eye products, and selling all base colors so this will permanently be your last opportunity to purchase mineral makeup from me.
I want you to know that I have had an unbelieveable ten years in this business, but I also know that there comes a point when you have to honestly look at where your life is going and what your bliss feels like, and as happy as I have been in this arena, I know that the time has come for me to finally be finished. I want to thank each and every one of you for the amazing support you have given me over the years.....I will never truly be able to express my gratitude to you and want you to know what you have meant to me! I'm not sure what the future looks like for me right now, but I know that as scary as it is, it is also a time to be incredibly excited about the possibility. The Heatheresque website will not be going anywhere just changing gears quite a bit.....so I do hope that I will continue to hear from you from time to time.
In closing, I would like to encourage you to try everything that makes you happy!!! It might not make sense to anybody but you, but the most important thing is being able to look back at your life with no regret. I have made my share of mistakes over the years, but I can honestly tell you that every leg of this lifetime tour has been an unbelieveable experience and I would not change a thing! Your life is meant to be lived, so even if that means you fall down and get back up 235 times, at least you will lay your head down at night knowing that you have tried!!!!
Thank you for a most sensational ten years ladies! You have made every second of this ride worth it!
All my best,
Heather
