CONTEST

I am having a contest & you have a chance to win a lip gloss (or many)! In the post below are pictures of our first 10 lip gloss colors, and I need your help naming them.

RULES:
1. you must post your color names in a comment to this blog entry
2. use #'s 1-10 to identify which color you are naming (top row is 1-5 (creams); bottom row is 6-10 (shimmers))
3. if I choose your color name, you receive a free lip gloss (your choice of color)
4. you must be willing to give out your full name & address in order to receive your free gloss
5. I will not be held responsible for lost/damaged packages
6. prizes will be shipped via usps 1st class mail with DC (when available)

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at info@suds-n-sass.com

Potential Lipgloss Colors

Swatches:
top row - all creams (no shimmer/glitter)
bottom row - all shimmers

Creams


Shimmers


This is just what I have come up with so far. I will definitely be adding more colors, both shimmers & creams. These have a decent color payoff like a lipstick, they are moisturizing like a lip balm and of course they are glossy too!

Let me know what you think!

Vote in our Poll

Suds n Sass is currently working on a fabulous liquid lipgloss formula! Once we have our formula just the way we want it we will start working on colors. We would like to have to sets, one sheer & one full color, but in order to satisfy everyone's needs (or almost everyone's) we'd like you to vote in our poll on the right hand side!

Thank You!

NEW Puppy!

We got a new puppy today, a cute Chihuahua!

He's 8wks old & still needs a name!

New Label Design

Here is an example of our new labels with our new, re-designed logo! We are using the new labels on all new products however, we are not re-packaging/re-labeling the pre-made products. This means you may still receive products with our previous logo.

NEW Mini Bundt Cake Soaps

We now have Mini Bundt Cake Soaps available on Etsy! We currently have (shown top to bottom) "Ginger Pumpkin Snap", "Lemon Pound Cake" & "Banana Spice Bread" in stock. Both Ginger Pumpkin Snap & Banana Spice Bread have ground cinnamon on top to provide a bit of exfoliation.

Feel free to send us a convo here, or visit our New Shop here if you are interested in our Mini Bundt Cakes but would like a different scent. We can set up a custom order for you in which you can choose any scent we carry listed here as well as which base you would like. We currently have "Avocado Cucumber", "Goat's Milk", "Clear Glycerin" and "Shea Butter" bases.

Happy Shopping!

If anyone tried to access the new site, some may have been able to see it while others may not have been able to. There was a complication when switching domain nameservers, but everything should be fine now!

HAPPY SHOPPING!

Don't forget, we still sell on Etsy as well : )

NEW Site has launched!

http://www.suds-n-sass.com

We have finally launched our Brand NEW Site!

Go to the link & click on the logo to enter!

I am so excited that Suds n Sass: Bath & Beauty finally has it's own store separate from Etsy. Etsy is definitely great and we will continue to sell things there our new shop will have a better variety of in stock products as well as products you can customize to your liking!

Please have a look around the new shop and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear the good & the bad as well as suggestions on how to improve it & make it more user-friendly.

I hope everyone enjoys the new site : ) Happy Shopping!

Computer Virus

Unfortunately, I have a computer virus in my computer : ( It is affecting my files & folders and making it very difficult to get anything done. I am trying to fix the problem but it may take time!

I want to keep everyone up to date, but if I don't update here for a few days, or get back to anyone on Etsy, e-mail or elsewhere, this is why. Thanks for understanding.

What do you want to see?

What would you like to see in my shop?

Pre-made items (currently how my shop is set up):
Pros: items are already made and thus can be shipped quickly
Cons: you can't customize the items (colors/scents) & there is a limited selection to choose from

Custom Items (planning on adding some within the next few weeks):
Pros: you pick the colors/scents you want & items are made fresh once order/payment is received
Cons: can take up to & over a week to process & ship

So should I stick to pre-made items so I can ship immediately? Or are there some out there who don't mind waiting for something if you can customize it and get it exactly how you want it?

Are there any products you would like to see in my shop that I don't have yet?

Please post a comment or email me at info@suds-n-sass.com
Thanks for the help!

Big Changes for Suds n Sass!

Over the next few days/weeks, Suds n Sass will be undergoing some major changes!

At first I was thinking of opening a second shop. One for Suds n Sass: Handmade Bath & Body Treats, the other for Shimmer n Sass: Cosmetics. After further thought and some advice on the Etsy forums I think I have decided to go another route!

Bath & Body goes well with cosmetics, just not the way I have things set up. From now on it will be Suds n Sass: Bath & Beauty which will incorporate the makeup along with the bath & body products. So where do I go from here?

Well I am currently deciding between 13+ Alchemy bids on a new logo design. I think I have it narrowed down to 2 options. Once I decide on the new logo, I'll be doing a new banner & avatar and even the product labels will be changing to incorporate the new logo & theme!

So what does everyone think? I'd love to hear everyone's opinions!
