Ghost Society

As many of you have been seeing, the DreamWorld Website has been changing. There is an area called Ghost Society. When I was thinking up a way to thank my customers for buying from DreamWorld I came up with the idea of gift, highlighted product, and sample. A gift with each order, a product that is highlighted each month and put at 25% off and a free sample of upcoming products to try out before they are highlighted.

Next came figuring out a name, I couldn't use just GHS, LOLOL, since that's not me, so the Ghost Society was born. Each month you will see it updated with the specials of that month. This is my way of thanking everyone for being a DW customer...

So check out the front page where the link is for Ghost Society....

Holiday Swatches

Hi everyone,

I have finished some swatches of the holiday shadows and wanted to share them with you. As you will be able to tell, I'm really not great at doing them, but I did fall in love with the colors all over again. Many of them are metallic and there is only 1 true shimmery one in the whole group of 12 colors.
They will all come in a 10 gm jar with 2 gm of product, while the blushes will come in a 20 gm jar with 5 gm of product. I realize some of the shadow jars will not be totally full but that is due to the weight of the mica used...as the saying goes "Not all micas are created equal" LOLOL

So here goes the pics...Ellie

Update

Hello everyone,

I figured it was time to update...LOL. I didn't realize it had been so long.
So we got moved into the shop...we had space, not tons but enough to really enjoy working there. But...one thing after another happened, and one of those things is we found out we cannot heat it..this year!!! Well in the mountains of PA, there is no way this is a place to be without heat. Plus, the roof sprang a leak!!! So now the electricity needs to be turned off, we never did get water, and my poor cousin walks around with circles under his eyes trying to keep up.
So while the weather was nice, we decided it was time to evacuate!!!
So the last 2 days, we have moved and moved. Dang I didn't realize how much I had moved into that place since July!!! We probably have another couple days, but by Monday should be out of there and totally set up here, back where we started.

We have rearranged, so it is more efficient and I think once we get going again on Monday we will all be quite happy with the arrangement.

So for any of you who have orders, not to worry, I didn't forget, just have been running around pretty crazy trying to get everything done before it rains again and they have to turn off the electricity to avoid a fire, which was a major concern for me too.

I promise to try to keep up with more often, and please never hesitate to drop a line and email me at dreamworldminerals@gmail.com.

Hello everyone,

Okay, I figured it is time to finally send out the info that everyone is waiting for....

The sale will start August 1st and will last for the month. On September 1st it will finish and anything not sold will be donated to the local women's shelter.
We are still busy setting up the foundations, which while doing this, made me realize that I have too many...but how do I actually cut any of them? Every time I find a color that I need to discontinue someone emails me or I go through information and find out someone uses it.

But by my grand opening, I will have it all worked out since I do have some ideas...

Okay now for the information on the sale:

I apologize now if I run out of something.....but since this is a liquidation sale, and I will be working on the new product line, I do not have time to mix up new products.

A Sunny Day.... For Moving!!!!!

Hi all,

So I spent the day moving into the new shop or rather work place, only to find out no electricity and no water. Talk about bummed....do tomorrow, a phone call to the owner and away I go..I hope.

Thank goodness I had help today...Some of the boxes I couldn't lift. So my daughter's boyfriend came to the rescue. So nice to have a young strong guy around...LOLOL

And now that I look at the space, it doesn't look as big as it used to. I just hope that when we are finished we will have the room I am hoping for.

Now on to prices.

The one thing I will not promise right now is this...when the sale will be. I originally planned the month of July...but want it all done and ready, so that no one has to wait very long. Secondly, I planned after the first 2 weeks of July, but after looking at the workspace and seeing so much that needs done, I and a bit worried about that too.

I can promise by the 1st of August, we should be okay, but if it's sooner, I will let everyone know.

If you wish anything, please email me at ellie.dreamworldminerals@gmail.com This will make it the easiest way for me to get the orders done. when I am out of something, I am out. I will not be making anything up for the sale, so please be aware as I sell out, I will let you know that. I am just liquidating what I have available now. This will include foundations. After much thought, I decided that I would not keep certain foundation formulas...mulberry (silk), storm, and mist. If you wish anything in these forms they will be special made and there will be a place on the site for you to choose this. All my other foundation formulas will stay, including: Luna, Sand, Cloud (which will be reformulated), and Vapor. Some colors such as Arinna and Hecate will be special order. These both were made special for a couple of ladies and not everyone can wear them...but depending on what you wear, please email me so I can help you out.

In the month of July, anyone who had an outstanding order will be notified and asked if they want the order to continue or their money back. That is only fair, and I apologize for any problem this has caused. There are actually only a couple orders, but I want to have all my ducks in a row. Anyone who had anything that is back ordered, will have it shipped this month, in full size no matter what size they ordered. And if they are waiting for full size, they will be contacted and asked what other products they wish to have, as a gift for their patience.

Now, for what I'm selling off.

All foundations: they will come in a 20 gm bag and will sell for $15.00 each. This is double what you normally get in a jar, plus the price is much less. I will have each of these done before the sale starts, so this is what the hold up is. I want to grab and ship so NO ONE has to wait.

All shadows that I have in stock: This includes 5 gm and 10 gm jars. The 5 gm jars will sell for $4.00 each OR
6-10/$3.80 each
11-15/$3.60 each
16-20/$3.40 each
21-24/$3.20 each
25 or greater/$3.00 each.

Blushes and 10 gm Shadows(mattes)
$8.00 each OR
6-10/$7.60 each
11-15/$7.20 each
16-20/$6.80 each
21-24/$6.40 each
25 or greater/$6.00 each

30 gm Cremes: $12 each
10 gm Cremes: $7.00 each
30 gm Mummy Dust: $12.00 each
10 gm Illuminating glows: $8.00 each
30 gm Illuminating glows: $14.00 each
10 gm jar illuminating powders: $9.00 each
30 gm jar illuminating powders: $15.00 each
10 gm gloworm powders: $8.00 each

I will not bill you until the order is finished, then will invoice through pay pal. I cannot promise what I will have in stock when I get to your order, do please understand I will do my best to fill it with what you want.

If there is anything I have forgotten, please don't hesitate to ask. I will post this on my forum, and again I will send out a newsletter, so if you wish one, please email me at dreamworldminerals@gmail.com and I will put you on a list to let you know when the sale will start.

I would also love to thank everyone for your patience and acceptance of my makeup. I love making it and I can't wait to get back to making new products for everyone.

I have learned so much in school and have no many new ideas. But I love hearing what others are looking for also, so if you have some thoughts, please don't hesitate to let me know you thoughts...

Hugs to all,

Ellie

A New Beginnning and a Sad Ending

As with anything there has to be a beginning and an ending. And those 2 things have hit me hard in the last few days.

I finally graduated from school...YAHOO!!!! Which means that I have some catching up to do and also means that I will be back to work. I realize that I need to go through what I did from when I was last open and make sure all orders are out or that the customers get their money back. I will be doing all that in the first 2 weeks of July. So if you haven't heard from me in a bit, expect something soon.

I will also be moving into a new building. This will give me the space to put my products once finished, give me a room to do nothing but mix so not everything is dusty. Plus it gives me a full kitchen all to myself to create wonderful skin care products. The plan is that I will have help, but if that doesn't pan out then it will be just me, myself and I and it will take much longer then I wish it to, but that can't be helped.

At this point I plan on reopening in Oct, but that is dependent on how much I can get done alone or with help. I am reformulating some of the foundations, so they will all be on the same level and in doing so will create extra light and dark versions to accommodate everyone I hope. Some foundation colors that were never bought, will totally disappear. Others that were made for specific customers will be in special order only. I will also diminish the number of bases I will be making. I will keep cloud, luna, sand, and vapor. I will be selling off storm, mist, and mulberry at discounted prices. I will also sell off many other foundation colors as I will be remaking them. I am selling off all of my products at this time for lower prices and will have fresh made up when I reopen. I will also be adding to what will be available.

I will put up a pricing chart in the next week, so that ladies can check it out if they are interested. All orders will be via email at this time and I cannot promise from day to day what will be available, but will try to keep everything updated as I run out of something. I will not make it for this sale. What I have is what will be sold.

But I will post more when I am finished figuring everything out.

I can tell you that school was good for me. It helped bring me out of a bad clinical depression and I refuse to ever let that happen again, plus it was an eye opener for the beauty world. I found that women can be some of the meanest heartless people in the world. And for me it's so hard to believe. For some reason makeup and beauty, which is supposed to be so much fun, turns into something that is unknown to the world around them. Women who are the kindest ladies in the world turn into raving maniacs when it comes to makeup, hair and skin care. And that's sad. We are only on the earth for a short time and to spend some of it bashing others or making mean remarks or just being hurtful, it is enough to boggle the mind.

I watched day after day as women would tear down the self esteem of others they did not like. They didn't take into consideration that there were others out there doing the same thing, or that they were truly destroying another person. They just did it, and in the end they had all kinds of reasons for their justification. But meanness and cruelty, no matter how they are done, are still the same.

So for me graduation was a wonderful time. Only to learn that someone I have only known from a distance has also been hurt and in her way destroyed. Her business will now be closed and maybe then I hope she can find some closure. I would like that for her.

I have great respect for ladies who can stand up for others and throw caution to the wind. We, as people, don't always do the perfect thing and we make mistakes, but hopefully we grow from them. We take that learning and turn it into something good. But when something hits you from two sides it may not be that easy and when your livelihood and way of life is threatened, then you do what you find later in retrospect is wrong. But in the end you are only human. And humans are not infallible.

The problem with the makeup world today also is money. The big companies want to make it, they aren't in it for the glory, they want the bucks and will do what is needed to make them, even if it is illegal. There is a lot of that going on, but before you start slapping the small person, I think you need to look the big cheeses...I will not name them, I don't think that is necessary.

I am truly saddened to hear of Aromaleigh closing. Kristen and her makeup has been around for a long time. I cannot truly say I know her, because I do not, but no matter what the issues are I wish she would not shut the doors. I have heard rumors that her personal life isn't perfect, but that is her business and should never be up for comment, just like I would not like mine to be. Ladies have bought from AL for a long time. I was not there so I cannot say that she did anything wrong, but when all is said and done tomorrow is another day. If it would help to think of that fact that life is short, makeup isn't supposed to be life or death, it is supposed to be fun, soothing. And the biggest thing is everyone makes mistakes. And while others want to judge, in the end, it is not our job....nor is it our job to condemn...If something is done wrong, it will be handled in time...and if it's not done wrong, then there is no reason to find fault....

So please stand back, think of how you would feel as a student, or as a owner if you were nothing but condemned. I have heard that things were handled wrong, and I am sorry for that....but in the end we are all human....

Hug someone next to you and tell them you love them, you never know what tomorrow may bring....

What's New??????

I'm sure everyone is wanting to know what's new...so I thought I would take a few minutes to update...

First and foremost, you will notice that DW is now back to DreamWorld. That is for a couple reasons, first I found out that since I spell it different I can keep it and secondly I like my name. Plus everyone knows DreamWorld...so here I am...and since I have my son working on my own logo, I'm going to trademark the rascal so it's all mine...LOL

Secondly, I am almost finished with school and as I sit and write this, I only have 4 days left...YAHOO!!!!! I can't tell you how excited I am on that. I will officially be finished at 4:45 pm on Thursday, June 24th. Then I am supposed to leave on a quick trip to Charleston, SC to get my mom, who has been visiting her sister for the past 6 weeks. Still not sure if I will go, or not...
But right after that it will be the first part of July and DW will be moving. She has a new home and I'm so excited about it. I have wanted for a long time to move into my own place. Plus, it is so hard for me here with the dogs to do skin care, so it has been put on hold. But now DW will be moving into a trailer, with it's own kitchen so skin care is a dream that can be realized. So when DW reopens, there will be skin care products for different skin types. Which will be continually added to as time goes on.

I am also going to redo my shadows and blushes...and other makeup so for that reason I am selling off all my stock at reduced prices. This sale will run for 2 weeks...whatever is not sold, will go back into stock if I keep the color. I'm going to make some hard decisions. Anything that didn't sell well, will be discontinued. I had hoped not to ever do that but find that I need to. So please, if there are any products that you love and want to see continued drop me an email at dreamworldminerals@gmail.com.

At this time, the sale will not include foundations. At least not at first. I am also going to have to make some hard decisions based on those also. I am going through the stock...per color and per base and decide which type needs to remain and which needs to be discontinued. I find that even though many wanted the silk based foundation it really doesn't sell well. Cloud does sell, but storm does not, although many like storm better. So with some of this knowledge, plus looking at the colors that are available, some of these may also hit the sale...
My creams will remain...they are very popular. Some of the silica glows and silica powders may not stay though...as I said, I am thinking this through, so if there is something you love, please let me know...

The sale will start mid July, and will be an email order only sale. I do this for a couple of reasons...as something sells out, I want to be able to tell the customer it's no longer available, plus I do not want the site up yet.
I plan to be up in the autumn...

One of the goals I have had since the beginning is fast shipping, yet somehow , it never turned out the way I wanted...but I promised myself and my customers I would not reopen until shipping time is 24 to 48hr turn around. That is a promise I intend to keep.

Also, if there are any products you would enjoy seeing, please drop me a note. I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get back the way I would like..but hopefully that will soon come to an end.

One of the other things I am so looking forward to is help. Upon completion of school, I am an esthetician along with my daughter-in-law and daughter. We each have jobs we enjoy, so by splitting up jobs it will make everything run that much smoother. I know all the jobs since I did it all for so long, but Cait loves answering emails and knows my makeup. Jess can help with that, and Cait will do the shipping. Each will have an email for you to write to so they can answer and check on your order if you have questions. Jess, doesn't like shipping, but like organizing, so she will gather orders. We have worked out a 3 step check system so all orders are done quickly and efficiently. And I will continue to be the creator and mixer of the products. So please if there is a problem never hesitate to contact us. I will be sure to create a listing of emails to catch us at...

I cannot begin to tell you the new products that will be coming out...I have so many ideas and just am not sure where to start. Once I get organized, I will start looking at creating new products and remaking some old ones. I can tell you that lipsticks will be some of the new products you will see...

As I get new products done, keep watch, I will be sending them out for ladies to test...and review...

Hugs to all,

Ellie
