Know Your Makeup
I want to point you all in the direction of this post on Cinnamon Candies about the drama surrounding some indie makeup companies and why not all of us are like that! Thanks, Candace!

The Etsy "Situation"
A lot of talk has been fluttering around the internets about Etsy and their Crazy Privacy Policy issue.
In the past several weeks, Etsy has:
If you have an Etsy account, I hope you've checked your settings and made sure that it is what you want it to be. If your name is googled, do you want your Etsy purchases to be revealed as well?
This has turned a lot of people off of this handcrafting marketplace. I don't really blame them, to be honest. Although Etsy is extremely popular and has many, many customers (in fact, many of my sales came from people searching on Etsy for mineral makeup, rather than from outside sources), I feel like a wave of people are "waking up" so-to-speak and leaving the Etsy community in droves.
I took the opportunity to look into Art Fire, a selling community I had previously left unconsidered. It turns out that Artfire has several advantages over Etsy for both the seller and the buyer.
I'm going to write a post that goes into detail about the pros and cons of Artfire vs. Etsy, but in the meantime, what you should know is that I am hoping to use Artfire exclusively if I can generate enough sales/ traffic there. When you visit my domain (http://www.bokehface.com) you are taken directly there, and the fantastic news is that you don't need an Artfire account to shop there!
You can also shop the Artfire store directly from my facebook fan page (http://www.facebook.com/bokehface). It's listed in the leftside menu under "Art Fire Kiosk".
Should you choose to use Etsy instead, my shop will be there at least until my listings expire (sometime in June).
Please let me know what you think! Are you more compelled to buy something from Etsy than from somewhere else? Will you follow your favorite sellers to Artfire if they leave Etsy? Let me know in the comments!
In the past several weeks, Etsy has:
- Changed their privacy settings without notifying their members
- Made your full name and shopping history public knowledge unless you opt-out (again, with no notification)
- Created a "gift-finder", a facebook app that has a history of connecting to members' facebook accounts after they explicitly denied permission.
If you have an Etsy account, I hope you've checked your settings and made sure that it is what you want it to be. If your name is googled, do you want your Etsy purchases to be revealed as well?

Amazing Mineral Blush in Lotus
New! Lavender colored blush made especially for Manda, blogger at Toxid Lotus.
Super sheer, slightly shimmery. I'm not sure that I could pull off purple blush with my skin tone, but it looks amazing on some people!

Here it is, layered on heavily and *not* blended (to show how the color looks on skin)
If purple blush strikes your fancy, pick up a container here.
If more traditional pink blushes are your thang, check out my etsy shop where you can find that and other lovelie sparklehs.

Featherweight Fantastic Foundation
We're so excited to finally share our collection of foundations!!
Unlike liquid foundation, mineral powders apply with a brush so blending is easy. It doesn't streak like liquid foundation can, and buffs into translucency (meaning you'll never have that ugly foundation line again!) For girls with dry skin (like myself), it's amazing because you can blend it right on top of your favorite facial moisturizer. For gals with oily skin, it's equally amazing because it's absorbent and eliminates shine.
Most importantly, however: Featherweight Fantastic Foundation covers up your imperfections but doesn't look like a heavy, cakey makeup. You won't look like you're wearing makeup; you'll look like someone who doesn't *need* makeup.
This product comes in a full, 20-gram, sealed sifter jar.
But, what if this color isn't right for me??
UGH, shopping for foundation is hard- I know firsthand! Being borderline albino, most every store bought foundation has been too dark for me. Therefore, if this doesn't work out for you, send it back in the original container for store credit or for an exchange (just pay for shipping). If you're between colors, let me know and I can blend them for you!
HOW TO USE:
Swirl brush in powder and tap off excess. Swish onto face, blending evenly... Repeat until you have the desired coverage. Remember, a little goes a long way!
Bokeh Face Featherweight, Fantastic Foundation (say that five times fast) is exactly what you're looking for in an everyday makeup. Designed specifically for gals who are looking for a medium coverage, layerable, natural-looking formula.
This powder is ultra-light and soft; it feels amazing and silky going on, and stays all day. Unlike some high-end mineral foundations, our formula never contains Bismuth Oxychloride, which can aggravate or cause cystic acne in some people. For those of you who have concerns about or sensitivities to talc, you can rest assured that this is talc-free as well.

Eye of the Day - Like a Rockett
I'm going to start posting EOTDs (Eyes of the Day), but rather than pics of myself (I can't for the life of me get a decent picture of my own eye) I'm going to feature other fabulous ladies!
Today's comes from a blog I just discovered, Like a Rockett.
GORGEOUS greens!!
I love that she's a pale girl like myself and she does crazy, bold makeup. I'm such a wimp when it comes to doing bold makeup!
But, what I love the most is her crazy awesome diagrams!! Check that out!
Got any good EOTDs (lol)? Tell me in the comments!
