New Website Launcing Soon and Loyalty Points

NEW WEBSITE SNEAK PREVIEW!

 

 

 

Launching September 2017

We've been working hard at Cute Towers recently on updating the website.  The new design will bring funky features like wish lists and gift vouchers and improve general website navigation.  We are really excited and can't wait to share it with you all.  We hope to be ready to launch it in September.  Let us know what you think from the sneak preview above. We've also lined up to re-stock a brand favourite of ours again - can you guess who?

Spend your points before September 2017

Unfortunately with the new website we are unable to move our existing loyalty points programme over.  We have therefore now ceased to provide loyalty points on purchases for the time being.  If you have any loyalty points on your account we would ask you to please spend them in August.  We will look at options to re-instate a programme once the new website is operating.

Gold Medal Winning Nails

After our super exciting win yesterday in Jacqueline Gold's WOW competition for women in business we thought it was the perfect time to share with you these fabulous 'Gold' Medal winning nail polishes from Priti NYC.

Inspired by all the men and women who will be 'Going For Gold' Priti have released a special edition London 2012 set called 'Heavy Medal'. The best thing about Priti NYC Nail Polishes is that they are non-toxic and are made without toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DHB) and formaldehyde- all known carcinogenic ingredients.

The collection contains four edgy metallic shades Chrysanthos, Old Man Cactus, and Bills Bronze to represent the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals that we hope the GB team will be winning for us! Add to this Pewter Veil, a dark grey shimmery polish and we think you have the perfect winning metallic shades! All of which fit in perfectly with the trend on the catwalks this season for metallics.

Perfect for a special gift the polishes come packaged in this gorgeous box with a hand tied ribbon. We're really hoping that Jacqueline loves these too and have sent her a special set of them today in honour of our #WOW win!

Which Medal would you like to be wearing this summer?

CutECOsmetics WOW Jacqueline to a Gold Win

CutECOsmetics are extremely proud to have been chosen by Jacqueline Gold as a winner of her WOW Women On Wednesday competition that celebrates women in business. Jacqueline Gold is the highly successful chief executive of Ann Summers and Knickerbox. Every Wednesday she holds the WOW competition on Twitter, inviting business women to tweet their business to her. She chooses her favourite three and retweets to all of her 23,000 followers, so it is a great honour and opportunity for small businesses.

 

 

After entering for a number of weeks we won the award on Wednesday 11^th April, the winning tweet that caught Jacqueline’s eye was ‘Self funded Mum start-up! All my work in 6 months, handpicked ECO beauty brands with great reviews www.cutECOsmetics.co.uk’. Jacqueline always gives her reasons for the winning tweets stating that ‘CutECOsmetics is an online Eco friendly cosmetic store selling some fab products – quirky and interesting website. It made me stop!’ and ‘I thought it was very refreshing, loved it. Good luck with the rest of the week :)’. 

 

Many small businesses follow the #WOW hash tag each week to see if they will be the lucky winners and appreciate such an inspirational businesswoman taking the time to support small businesses ran by fellow women.

 

 It has been a successful start to the year for CutECOsmetics after being chosen by The Good Web Guide in their list of ‘The Best Sites for Makeup’ and also becoming a recommended company of Radio 2 presenter Janey Lee Grace on her website www.imperfectlynatural.com. We have also been featured on numerous beauty blogs over the last few months. We are hoping that this latest #WOW success will help to further spread the word of our website where we are launching even more fabulous brands including cult and beauty bloggers favourite Butter London later this month.

 

Happy Easter in The OCC Garden

We thought we would try and brighten up the Easter Weekend here at CutECOsmetics HQ by sharing with you the arrival of the New OCC Lip Tars 'The Garden' Spring / Summer 2012 Collection!

Spring has sprung at OCC with the gorgeous new floral shades in the Lip Tar range, OCC say:

'Inspired not by garden variety roses but psychotropic and poisonous plants, this collection turns traditional spring pastels upside down, injecting them with hallucinatory notes of nearly-neon vibrancy.'

The new range also launches with new packaging, featuring a precision nozzle applicator and now you get even more in your OCC Lip Tar tube (10ml).

So here are the lovely Spring beauties!

Digitalis - Pink Tinged Lavender (Left) 

 Ophelia - Pure Petal Pink (Right)

Kava Kava - True Peach Neutral (Left)

PennyRoyal - Roasted Peach / Brown (Right)

Belladonna - Ultra Ultra Violet

Chlorophyll - True Teal

If you've never tried these, a little goes a long way! All you'll need is a tiny bead applied with a lip brush. Wondering how you would ever wear some of the colours? The great thing about OCC Lip Tars is that they are meant to be mixed to create your own shades - so have fun with them!

They are £8.99 from here

We'd love to know which of the new shades you like?

Have you tried these yet?

CutECOsmetics in The Good Web Guide

We were very excited and proud to be chosen by The Good Web Guide as one of their Best Sites for Make-up a few weeks ago!

Here's the article:

Good Web Guide Best Sites for Makeup

This is what they had to say about us:

"For cosmetics with a conscience, cutECOsmetics should be your port of call. This family-run business has worked hard to find organic, vegan and cruelty-free cosmetic brands to stock on their site. Shop by brand (Barry M, Urban Decay, Nvey are all available here) or you can even shop by Ethic! Looking for a bright red vegan lipstick? Get it here."

Our site has only been running for a matter of months so we were absolutley thrilled to have been recognised amongst some massive brands like Mac, Benefit, Glossybox & Cult Beauty.

Thanks very much Good Web Guide you made our month!!
