I-Candy Couture Pigments

    Aloha everyone! I'm so excited to deliver the wonderful news that I-Candy Couture has come out with beautiful handmade mineral makeup completely formulated hygienically and safely in Hawaii!!!


    This is the limited edition "Winter Wonderland Sweets Collection" featuring 6 beautiful colors each named after a favorite holiday treat: Candy Cane (a beautiful snow white color with purple/pink iridescent shimmers and micro glitters), Candy Apple (a rich red/burgundy color with tiny flecks of gold sparkles), Caramel Apple (a beautiful duo-chrome color with brown and green hues), Gingerbread (a beautiful brown with a hint of sparkle), Sugar Plum* (beautiful purple shadow has just a hint of gold and silver sparkle), and Pumpkin Pie (an almost metallic blend of rich copper and orange).
    Each color can be purchased individually: $4 for a full size jar or $1 for a sample size jar; or you can buy the "Winter Wonderland Sampler Pack" where you'll get a sample size of all 6 pigments for $5.

*approved for eyes but NOT lips.


    Honey has also come out with a permanent collection especially inspired by the infamous Twilight Saga...the "Twilight Saga Collection".  From left to right (according to above swatch picture) are the shades: Eclipse (a shimmery taupe), New Moon (a matte deep gray with a satin finish), Breaking Dawn (a bright metallic gold), and Twilight (a midnight blue with gold and orange sparkles).

Who better to explain her inspiration than the AMAZING creator herself?! Here's Honey:

    Each color can be purchased separately: $4 for full size or $1 for a sample size; or you can purchase them in either a sample set: all 4 at sample size for $3.50 or all 4 in full size for $15.

    With the busy holiday season, Honey didn't stop with the creation of 10 pigments.  I also present 10 more shades in the permanent collection: Liliko'i (Passion Fruit in Hawaiian and pronounced 'lily koi'-a beautiful and almost duo-chrome shimmery orange pigment with purple sparkles and a satin texture), Ice Queen (a shimmer, almost duo-chrome silver), Maui (a mix between a matte and shimmer shadow with a silky finish- this is a beautiful blue with gree reflects and is gracefully named after the island of it's creator), Roselani ('heavenly rose' in Hawaiian-named not only after it's mixture of mauve and pink colors with gold reflects but also after the daughter of a major contributor), Peaches n Creme (pink and gold with gold reflects), Cupcake Sprinkles* (duo-chrome of pink, purple, and silver), Destne146* (named after the founder- her youtube name; an almost matter purple with blue undertones), Hollywood* (inspired not only by the 80s but by one of Honey's favorite movies, Mannequine, a bright and almost neon blue with silver sparkles), Lucky Jade* (a khaki green duo-chrome with gold sparkle), the trade mark color Sincerely* (an almost plum purple with silver sparkles).

Here's the roll out by Honey (part 1):

*note: This beautiful color is an Ultramarine - it is approved for all cosmetic uses, including eyes - but is not approved for use on the lips.
   
    Along with 20 pigments, I-Candy Couture is in the process of rolling out Candy Kisses..LIP GLOSS!!!!  So please stay tuned!!!

Here are the ingredients list straight from the website for all those inquiring minds:

Ingredients:

I do everything in my power to ensure that our products are Vegan to ensure that you are using the best possible products for your body.  All of them use mineral micas to ensure high pigmentation.♥ We DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS and are CRUELTY FREE.
♥ We Use High Quality Ingredients

♥ We make all of our products from the Heart and with lots of love!

♥ We ensure your Safety ALWAYS.  Our products are produced in a sterile environment.  I wear Sterile, latex free gloves and a surgical mask when working with my products.  Having worked in the medical industry for years and performing surgery on patients, I take sterile working environments and your safety very seriously. 

♥ All products are produced in a NON - SMOKING work space and home.  I can ensure that no one in our house smokes or will ever smoke and that ensures that the products you are receiving are sterile, clean and smoke fee. 

Our Mineral Eyeshadows may include: Mica, Iron and Tin Oxide, Magnesium Myristate, Titanium Dioxide and Carmine (though none of our eye shadows have included Carmine to date - this is certainly a possibility and I will surely place that information below the listing.  Our goal is to include ingredients that make them Vegan and Safe.)  The ingredients listed are FDA approved for many uses to include your use on  Eyes, Lips and Face.  If a product is not approved for any of those areas, I will list that information in the product details so that you are aware of places you cannot use this.  Note:  Some ingredients can be used on eyes but not on lips and some can be used on lips but not on eyes, etc.  So please ensure that you check that information prior to ordering.  

Our Lip Glosses may include:
Shea butter, cocoa butter (these will be listed if they are used)
Flavoring/Flavoring Oil (used in most / all baking and sweet treats),  Organic Castor Oil, Versagel 750 ME (Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer and Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer)

How much product do I receive?
Each sample ordered from us will be shipped in a "Clam" jar - or snap shut sample jar.  The samples will include 0.5g or 1/8 of a teaspoon.

A Full Sized Jar when ordered will be shipped in a 5 gram jar with lid (sifters are not included as we found it to be a pain in the butt when using - rather then an assistant).  The full sized jars will include 4.0g of product and the jar will be full.  All shadows come with their own unique texture and feel - therefore, some eyeshadows may fill a jar to the rim - where others may look like they have a little less.  But each eyeshadow jar with product is weighed to ensure that you are receiving the same amount of product each time.

Please note - we do everything we can to ensure that our photographs and descriptions are accurate... but lighting and camera quality can affect the images of our products.  Most of our products are a lot more vibrant in person and we try to leave a detailed description to assist with your purchase.  Please also check out our YouTube Channel  to see swatches of our products when available.

Please note that this policy is updated and revised as needed. This policy was created on 11/16/11 and revised on 11/21/11 .
