Walking around downtown Portland over the weekend, there they were–the first cherry blossoms of spring! That makes it the perfect time to introduce our new collection for Spring 2013, the Hanami Collection. Hanami translates to “flower viewing,” but in Japan, it most commonly refers to cherry blossom viewing. Participating in Hanami can be anything from a stroll through a park to an elaborate evening picnic under lighted trees. Although Hanami originated in Japan, cities around the world are creating their own Cherry Blossom or Hanami festivals.

Black Friday gift with purchase

Happy Thanksgiving! We know that some of our customers are enjoying a triptophan-induced coma about now, but others of you are chomping at the bit, ready to get your holiday shopping cranked up into high gear. The great news for both camps is that our Black Friday offer begins Thursday evening, and carries through Cyber Monday, November 27. There’s plenty of time to take advantage of this fun offer! With any purchase of $45 or more placed through our website, you will receive a darling mini kabuki brush, and eyeshadow-sized jars of two limited edition Luminous Shimmer Blushes, Lily and Zinnia.
These limited edition shades most closely resemble our Luminous Shimmer Blush in Leigh with regards to the amount of shimmer, they are not quite as shimmery as Guava or Rosa. These blushes are not available for sale, they are exclusive to this gift with purchase. Lily is a soft peach with glints of silver and copper shimmer. Zinnia is an earthy red, sparked with bits of gold and pink. The shadow-sized jars and accompanying mini kabuki brush make these little gems perfect for travel or touch-up.
So if you want to get a little shopping done this weekend, be sure to visit our Collections page…we have eyeshadow sets, face sets and brush sets, and when you place your order totaling $45 (before shipping), you will receive a little something extra that you can slip into a stocking…even if it is your own!

Extend Your Glow with Bronzer and Shimmer Powder Duos
As summer comes to a close many people find that leaves aren’t the only thing changing color. That slight golden glow that you may have built up with careful sun exposure is probably beginning to fade, leaving you feeling a bit pale. Now you can Extend Your Glow with Alima Pure’s three new Bronzer/Shimmer Powder duos, available for a limited time only. These duos include one matte Bronzer (pick the shade that is right for your skin), and a Luminous Shimmer Powder in a shade selected to work with your Bronzer to warm your complexion and give you a subtle sheen when you so desire.
Maracaibo Bronzer, our bronzer for the fairest of skins, is paired with Nectar Luminous Shimmer Powder. This pairing is perfect for you if your skin tone is similar to that of Nicole Kidman or Carey Mulligan, or in other words, if most bronzers are too dark for you.
