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
