Competition Time on Facebook

A quick note to point you in the direction of the Rock Face Minerals Facebook page (if you haven't been already).
I've just set up a wee competition to drum up some more fans - apparently once it has 100 fans then you get a dedicated page (or something equally technical). Anyway, every little counts in the Dark Art that is Seach Engine Optimisation, so to get us on our way, once we have reached 50 fans, I'll get cherub #1 to randomly pick a fan to receive a Rock Face Mineral eyeshadow of their choice.
So, don't forget to tell all your Facebook friends - & good luck!

Spice Shades Samples now available!

A quick update - I have finally, finally got the pics uploaded for the Spice shades of Rock Face Minerals foundation. Full sizes will be available early in October, but in the meantime, samples are available to order. Hooray!

Old Dog & New Tricks

& yes it has taken me 2 hours to figure out how to embed the video.

I think I would have a greater sense of achievement if I didn't still need to load the dishwasher & make the lunchboxes.

Rock Face Minerals first video

Well I'm still working on cropping pics & uploading the new products, but in the meantime I thought I'd share this video with you. Both my boys have gone through the stage of raiding my makeup bag every morning, though cherub #1 is now more interested in complaining about having to wash his face & do his teeth. Cherub #2 is firmly in the "what's yours is mine" toddler stage, & at the moment he is the proud owner of a couple of empty jars & an old kabuki brush, which saves him running off with my blusher brush every morning.

This evening, after bathtime, he was busy "putting on his face" but of course, by the time I got the camera out, he had to have that too. By his standards, his technique in this video is a bit sloppy, but hopefully you'll see that applying mineral foundation is so easy, even a child can do it!

September already!

Well, that's the first day back to school over & if only it would stop raining! I was on holiday last week, in the hope that we could go camping again, but it just wasn't to be. But all was not lost - I spent Tuesday afternoon catching up on photographing some new stock for the Rock Face Minerals site. So hopefully this week, I'll get them uploaded & the samples for the Spice foundation shades will be available, as will my range of eyeshadow and concealer brushes.

Tuesday was designated "Rock Face Minerals" Day, (or RFM as it is known in our house) & I spent the morning discussing the site with a friend of mine, who specialises in design & photography. Hopefully he is going to come up with a new logo for RFM to replace the "squiggle" banner, & also take some professional shots of the products for me. Fingers crossed, in a month or two, the site will have had a bit of a makeover!
