we're at it again!

So just what have we been up to since the move?!

Well, for those who bought the NBC collection, you have all ready sampled what we've been doing. (:  But for those of you who don't know:
solid lotion bars!
Right now they're only available in sample form until I test how they'll do in a larger container. Samples come in a 2x2x2 square with either 1 of the 4 we have premade or you can make your own. (: To design your own solid lotion bar for $2 {+ shipping}, visit the store {here} & make sure in the "notes to seller" you specify which you would like.

The four premades we have available now are:
"Barrel" {red rose, thyme, & vanilla scent}
"Let's Eat Cake" {birthday cake scent}
"Lock" {cucumber melon scent}
"Shock" {tropical temptation scent}

A list of all available scents is: here.

We have also been reviewed again! Check it out: Glitterbity: Review of Lucky 107

We are also now offering "review kits". (: Within the United States gets free shipping while international has to pay standard price {sorry! it's just so expensive to ship overseas}. Click here for all you up & coming reviewers & click here for you more experienced review gurus. (:

On top of releasing the solid lotion bars, we have reformulated "Concrete". It has now more reader friendly ingredients, & more adhesion power. 
old formula:
Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Water, Glycerin, Petrolatum, Stearic Acid, Glycol Stearate, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Isostearate, Tapicoa Starch, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carborner, Ethylene Brassylate, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, & Titanium Dioxide
new formula:
Water, emulsifying wax, sweet almond oil, mica, titanium dioxide, iron (iii) oxide, & preservative cap 5

i'm hoping to start rolling out some new colors later this week. (: so yes, we have been busy bees. :D

What have we been up to?!

Well, we reopened later than we had hoped but it was a success! Our 35% off the entire store for one week went off without a hitch! Thank you to everyone who supported us. (:  Now it's back to our regular scheduled programming... with a few new additions.

First off, we are starting a new program [well, new to us!] called Color of the Week [or cotw]. What this little number does is take a fan voted color [see our cotw album on the fan page, here, & click the "like" button underneath your favorite color. voting for the week ends june 12 - winning color announce june 13th] & puts it on sale from Monday to Sunday for just $2! yep, a full size jar for just $2!! The color selection to be voted on changes each week, so be on the look out.

Second, we have created our own Lucky 107 exclusive t-shirt!
Design by Yanelis C.
You can buy it from our ArtFire store for $20 + shipping [click here to be taken directly to the shirt]; any size! It will be printed on a plain white t-shirt. When purchasing, please put your preferred size in the "notes to seller" section.

Once I get my scale in [the one I had broke so I had to order another one], be on the look out for whipped sugar body scrubs! That's right, a new & improved version of our old sugar scrubs! Looking to see if we carry your favorite fragrance so you can get your hands on one of these? Go here to see what fragrances we carry. Looking for a certain fragrance & we don't seem to carry it? Email me at lucky107cosmetics@gmail.com & ask if we can get your scent in. (:

To those ladies awaiting birthday packages for April & May: the move messed things up big time here at the shop, so I will get these out ASAP. Is your birthday in June? Email me the following application to lucky107cosmetics@gmail.com
+ Name:
+ Birthday:
+ Address:
+ Eye Color:
+ Favorite Color:
+ Allergies
+ Vegetarian/Vegan:

Why am I asking if you're vegetarian or vegan? To ensure you do not receive a product that contains animal by products - like beeswax & carmine.

That's all for now, my lovely Ladies of Luck. Keep your eyes peeled for future updates.

closing for a week, moving, & "ladies of luck"

hello again!
some big things are happening over here & i just wanted to get everyone up to speed.

first off, we are MOVING!! come april 28th, i will have packed up shop & be on my way into my new house & new office space. (: as of friday, april 22nd, lucky 107 will be SHUT DOWN until i get things settled in the new place. why? well, long story short, something happened with us being able to move in april 28th so we will be staying in a hotel until may 3rd & i do not think creating pretties for you loverlies in a hotel is the most sanitary thing to do... so i have made an executive decision to close for approximately 2weeks.

well, that covered points one & two... now onto the "ladies of luck" birthday club.

to receive a free birthday gift from lucky107 you MUST submit the following application DURING YOUR BIRTHDAY MONTH! if i receive the application, before or after your birthday month, it will be ignored. i'm sorry i have to do it this way, it's just really hard to get flooded with tons of emails & then half the time people forget they applied or they're only visiting the fanpage because they saw "free gift". this is a way for me to "weed out" those that are just looking to scored something for free. anyhow! please remit the following application to lucky107cosmetics@gmail.com DURING YOUR BDAY MONTH.
+ Name 
+ Birthday
+ Eye Color
+ Favorite Color
+ Allergies
+ Vegan/Vegetarian

well, that's all for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter & Passover... I will update everyone when we reopen.

New Shop Hours

Hello loverlies.

I wanted to extended my biggest thanks to all you ladies of luck who have made Lucky 107 what it is. From the day we opened in November until now, Lucky107 has, essentially, been open 24/7. Meaning from the minute I get up until the time I go to bed, I'm answering emails, packaging, mailing orders, & creating new products - obviously when I can find the time before the kids get up & while they're napping & after they go to bed. However, with this schedule, I am neglecting other things I want to do [ie: finish my sons' scrapbooks]... so, starting today [31march2011], Lucky 107 will only be "open" Monday-Friday. Saturdays & Sundays are going to be family days & "me" days. That's not to say I won't respond to emails or check up on the FanPage... I just won't be processing orders or mailing anything out or creating anything new.

I hope you all can understand. Thank you for your continued support.

Vegan & Cruelty Free... + T.A.T.

ok, I just want to clarify this: to me, vegan & cruelty free are TWO different things. To me, vegan is NO animal products or by products [beeswax & carmine being most common] & cruelty free is not tested on animals. NONE of my products are tested on animals - besides, I don't think my dogs would hold still enough to let me put eyeshadow on them [not that I would anyway!]. I do carry some products that contain carmine & beeswax but am currently looking into vegan options for the beeswax so that vegans may also enjoy our lip glosses, balms, & [coming soon] solid perfumes.

now onto our T.A.T [turn around time]: i strive to keep the t.a.t as short as possible... HOWEVER, being a mom to 2 infants [14m & 2m] & 2 furbabies, in school full time, & having to do the domestics, life tends to get ahead of me sometimes to where the end of the day I'm too tired to sit down in the office & do anything. so, as a general rule, our T.A.T is a week. sometimes shorter but no more. (:
