Upcycling means creating something new from discarded materials by repairing, refurbishing, or repurposing them. This process is done by machine and by hand and therefore there may be various "flaws" in the packaging that cannot be avoided during the making process. We also use upcycled metal to create our magnetic pans. Please be aware of this before purchasing as we do not issue refunds for packaging manufacturing flaws.

Though we can't do this with all of our products, we try and upcycle most of our products. Our foam is corn based and biodegradable over time. Over 40% of our mirrors are refurbished. Once an item has been upcycled, it cannot be recycled because plastics can only be recycled once or twice before they can no longer be of use. Note: When you open the box/palette, there may be a chemical smell from the packaging. This smell is a UV coat that we used to protect the palette as well as the foam and will fade over time.  It is a necessary part of making an uncycled product "look pretty".

Upcycling has no effect on the eyeshadow formula itself. All shades are removable and magnetic and can be stored in most magnetic palettes. Please visit our FAQ section for further information.

Use any of these codes to save 10% on your purchase. 

Note:  some eyeshadow bundles are not eligible for discounts and only one promo code can be applied per order, meaning you cannot combine multiple discount codes on the same order; only one code will be applied

Proposition 65 requires the State of California and companies that do business in California to maintain and update a list of chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Businesses with 10 or more employees that expose individuals to listed chemicals through their products or operations generally must provide warnings.

Because we have less than 10 employees, we are exempt from the requirements of Prop 65, however, in the interest of transparency, we are working on transitioning our packaging and products, where applicable, to reflect this warning, shown below. Because our products are developed a year in advance, the changes will not reflect until 2026. For further information, and the full list of chemicals in prop 65, please visit https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/.

 [WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Titanium Dioxide, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), known to the State of California to cause Cancer. For more information go to https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/.]
