OTM, April now available!!

Each month, GDE will release a new color (it may be a shadow, an eye light, or something else extra special) and people who subscribe to this "OTM" service will get the first chance to see it. The new color will be posted on the 15th of each month. For those who have a subscription, your new color will ship on the 10th of the month (or before), so if you're in the US, you can possibly get a sneak peek of the color. After subscriptions are sent out, the rest will be up for sale on the 15th.

The catch is, that only 100 of each color will be made a month. So if there are 56 subscription members, then only 44 of those colors will be sold individually. If you're subscribed each month, you won't have to worry about not being able to get the next color. I am offering a 3 month and a 6 month, just because I don't know how well it will go. I am not offering monthly or yearly because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

Subscriptions must be paid for up front. So you're paying up front for 3 or 6 months worth of shadow.

April 2012s color is called "Hippy Party Girl".

It is a very vibrant blue with aqua sparkles.

This month we collaborated with vegan youtube guru cosmeticcouturier to bring you a shadow that is unlike any color you would think to be "vegan". Who says that vegan has to be boring browns? And who says that blue is a no go color!?

Grace is known for her stance on animal testing and vegan rights. She is a huge part of Glamour Doll Eyes and we love her!

With this color, you will also receive a sample of our vegan primer which we are currently testing out. Don't forget to leave us your feedback on it!

You can sign up for the subscription here, or just pick up the shadow for $6.00

This color is a grassy green with yellow sparkle.

We decided to do something a little different this month (and you may see something similar in coming months). We have decided to team up with another indie company (Kiss My Sass Cosmetics) to bring you a little something we think you would love. They have kindly donated one of their new Lip Tints (this specific color is limited to this OTM only) for you guys to test out.


This lip tint is called "Georgia Kiss". It is a peachy pink color with sparkles.

You can sign up for the subscription here, or just pick up this set for $11.00 ($6 for the shadow, $5 for the lip tint).

OTM, now available at GlamourDollEyes.com

Something I have been wanting to do for a while via my store GlamourDollEyes.com is offer some sort of monthly subscription. Every time I thought about it, I would get really excited but then realize how much work it would be and how hard it would be to get off the ground. Since the new year is here, it's time to start new projects, so I am here to introduce the GDE "OTM"s program.

Each month, GDE will release a new color (it may be a shadow, an eye light, or something else extra special) and people who subscribe to this "OTM" service will get the first chance to see it. The new color will be posted on the 15th of each month. For those who have a subscription, you new color will ship on the 10th of the month (or before), so if you're in the US, you can possibly get a sneak peek of the color. After subscriptions are sent out, the rest will be up for sale on the 15th.

The catch is, that only 100 of each color will be made a month. So if there are 56 subscription members, then only 44 of those colors will be sold individually. If you're subscribed each month, you won't have to worry about not being able to get the next color. I am offering a 3 month and a 6 month, just because I don't know how well it will go. I am not offering monthly or yearly because I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

Subscriptions must be paid for up front. So you're paying up front for 3 or 6 months worth of shadow.

January 2012s color is called "Resolution", fitting right?

It is a gorgeous pale purple with silver sparkles. When swatched over Foil Me, by GDE, it almost has a metallic look.

I already have some great colors planned out, also in collaboration with a few YT guru's and another company. I hope that this is a fun idea and everyone enjoys it. I know it's kind of complicated at first so if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email!

You can sign up for the subscription here, or just pick up this color for $6.00.

Contest Winner!!!

I first off want to thank everyone who entered the design contest. I had some amazing entries and I am so grateful that everyone took a few moments (or more than a few) to enter my contest!!

During the process of this contest, I had made the decision to go a different route with the website. GDE is coming up on 3 years of being in business and I feel like we need a more permanent look. I have chosen a winner for this contest but I am going to have that winner design something completely different for me.

Because I decided to change the pace of the design, I think its only fair that everyone who entered gets something in return. I don't want you to feel like you wasted your time because you didn't. I loved every design and I wish I could feature them all, but I just can't. So everyone who entered (minus the winner, who will get her prize) will get a $10 gift certificate to GDE. I know that is not a lot but I had over 40 different people enter so I just wanted to make sure you guys know your work got attention.

So each person that entered (not how many times you entered) will get a $10 gift certificate. Please remember, the contest was only supposed to have one "winner".

I will be sending the gift certificates out after I post this, if you have any questions, please let me know!!

Extending the design contest!!

I know that I said the contest will end on May 31st (today) but I have decided to extend the contest for another month. A lot of people who said they were going to enter never ended up entering so I wanted to give them another chance. The end of May ended up being REALLY busy for me so I don't have too much time to sit down and pick a winner since I have a lot of fabulous designs already so I figured I would extend it.

I am sorry if this makes anyone upset but it will give you more time to work on more designs (if you want) and people who haven't entered yet a time to enter.

So the new deadline is June 30th and the winner will be announced sometime the first week of July.

Thanks!!

WEBSITE DESIGN CONTEST!!!

Since the GDE label design contest was such a huge success, I figured why not host a website design contest? I like to change the website design up every few months, mainly seasons to match the feeling around you, so this time around, we're going to be doing summer!

The winning design will get a $100 gift certificate to glamourdolleyes.com AND a $100 gift certificate to either ulta, sephora, mac OR $100 paypal if you prefer cash. Not only will the winning banner be displayed on glamourdolleyes.com but you will also be designing the rest of the website as well as the business cards!!

So here is what you have to do: Create a banner for our website using some of the images provided. Your banner must be 800px in width and no larger than 350px in height. It must include some of the pictures in the zip files that I have provided. I want something bright and colorful for summer, the rest is up to you!

Be sure to keep your banner as a PSD (or whatever format you use for layers) so that you can create the rest of the website as well.

The design itself is up to you. Something simple, professional (please remember, this is for an eye shadow company) and classy, nothing tacky or overboard. Colors, fonts and design will be left up to you! I do prefer that the main banner is only one girl, however.

When you're finished with your design, email it to labels@glamourdolleyes.com. You can enter as many times as you would like. When emailing me, please only send the JPG so that were not sending in a ton of huge PSD files but be sure to keep the PSD just in case you win!

Contest will go on for one month, winner will be announced on June 1st!

Good luck!

Please remember, any images, fonts, shapes, etc you might use must not be copyrighted!

Zip 1, Zip 2, Zip 3, Zip 4!

GOOD LUCK!!

Bloggers/Vloggers Needed!!

I am looking for 5 bloggers and/or vloggers with at least 1,000 subscribers or followers to do a review on the new 80s child collection that I will be launching at the end of October/beginning of November. Each blogger/vlogger will receive 2 of the colors in this collection. If you don't follow me on twitter, here is a pic of what this collection:


This collection will introduce 10 affordable shades inspired by your favorite 80s cartoons/shows. Each shadow will come in a 10 gram jar (normal GDE shadows come in a 5 gram jar) and will ONLY be available in full jar. Did I mention they have a pink lid!?

Just a little idea of what is included in this collection, we have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbie, Care Bears, My Little Pony and several more.

If you're interested in doing a review, please send me an email at promos@glamourdolleyes.com. Any comments here or on twitter saying that you're interested will not be considered, so please send me an email. Don't forget to send me a link to your blog/youtube.

Please cast your vote for your favorite one here.

Thank you again!

Label Contest Update!

I am going to end the label contest a little early because I want to go ahead and order some labels before I plan on doing the transition to give me plenty of time to get things going. I have already received an overwhelming amount of entries that I feel confident enough that GDE's future label will be in the batch I have already received, or one that will be coming in the next few days!

I have changed the deadline until Wednesday October 6th. I know that is a lot shorter than originally planned so I am sorry and I hope everyone had fun with the contest and good luck!

LABEL DESIGN CONTEST!!!

Glamour Doll is going to be going through a label change in the beginning of 2011. The goal is to make processing time faster for customers so we need a new label design! The winning design will get a $100 gift certificate to glamourdolleyes.com AND a $100 gift certificate to either ulta, sephora or mac (your choice). $200 worth of make up, woohoo!!!

So here is what you have to do. Create a 1 inch label to be put on top of ALL shadow jars. I will need 2 labels, one without a place to put a shadow name and one with a place to put a shadow name, for example:


This is the label we have right now. I have a PSD template that doesn't have a name in it, so that I can just type in the name for any new colors that I create. This label obviously says Glamour Doll Eyes Shadows with a place for the name.

The first label I will need is one that just says Glamour Doll Eye Shadows or Glamour Doll Eyes, I will leave that up to you. Then I need another label that is similar, that has a spot to put the shadow name (like above). Both labels must be cohesive so that they will go together!

I am providing you with a template to use. All designs must reach the black outside line (this is called bleed) but all WORDS or things that will actually be displayed on the inside of the sticker must be inside of the blue line (please remember to remove the blue line before sending me your image).

The design itself is up to you. Something simple, professional (please remember, this is for an eye shadow company) and classy, nothing tacky or overboard. Colors, fonts and design will be left up to you! You can download the template here:

http://glamourdolleyes.com/labeltemplate.psd

When you're finished with your label, email it to labels@glamourdolleyes.com. You can enter as many times as you would like. When emailing me, please only send the JPG so that were not sending in a ton of huge PSD files but be sure to keep the PSD just in case you win!

Contest will go on for one month, winner will be announced on October 24th!

Good luck!

Please remember, any images, fonts, shapes, etc you might use must not be copyrighted!
