I get such an incredibly positive response to the webshop every day and I am really very happy! You are wonderful! :)

However, there is a recurring complaint and that is the "expensive" shipping of SEK 49. And because I get a lot of questions about it, I feel that I want to explain myself in a post, because I understand that it is difficult for you who do not run your own webshop to think about all the details. If you buy a lip pencil and see a 7 kronor stamp on the envelope when you have paid 49, I understand that you start to wonder. But after this post, many of you will probably think that SEK 49 is cheap! :)

This is how it is - I prioritize service, secure payment and fast deliveries before low shipping costs!

SEK 49 stands for shipping and handling, which includes more than just shipping. I definitely do not go plus on the shipping but rather back if you have to count kronor. It is not only stamps and envelopes that cost, but also the technical handling around. For each order, it costs me money for more than just the shipping itself. At Klarna, there is so much more that I have to charge an extra fee for it, but also Payson, which is free to choose, costs money per order.

In addition, there is an average of SEK 42 in just stamp duty per package, on some more on some smaller, so SEK 49 is absolutely not unreasonable on most orders.

If I were to reduce shipping, I would instead have had to raise product prices, and I want you to profit from shopping a lot and not the other way around. In addition, I get more praise for my fast deliveries than complaints about shipping, and that also says a lot. Sure, it is possible to send cheaper, but you'd rather put a ten extra and get the package tomorrow? :)

My product prices are also not expensive if you look at my purchase prices, and SEK 49 in shipping is not much if you compare with time and travel costs to a store, nor much if you compare with many other webshops.

Many business owners would probably call me stupid in the head if they go through my prices and costs, and compare it with all the time I put in to make everything work.

Many people do not understand that everything in the world costs money. People pay for newspapers and do not think it is strange, but all blogs should be free to read and everything should always be topnotch. I pay a pretty big fee a month for a good data server, extra memory and speed, domain and domain name, etc. to make everything run as smoothly as possible. I really invest in my blog and webshop as a company, and it takes both time and money - but I see a future with it and think it's so terribly fun that it's really worth everything! :)

I hope that you who get annoyed with my shipping costs understand me a little better now, and still will think it's worth shopping at creativemakeup.se in the future! :)

And for those of you who always give me a positive response and take the time to write a few lines to me, you are worth your weight in gold !!

Do you see such a nice glow I have in my skin in this picture?

I have applied the basic make-up as I would have done if I had had a dry and / or mature skin, and I have done it with two products from Paese that I am considering taking in the webshop this autumn - so shout out if you get hungry now and want me to prioritize it over anything else!

The foundation is a liquid foundation that is specially adapted for mature and dry skin. Mineral foundation works on dry and mature skin as well, but this moisturizes the skin at the same time plus contains these active ingredients that help your skin:

Lifting polymer - makes wrinkles look smooth by filling in imperfections and reflecting light.
Silicone (fine silicones, no harmful) and Magnesium - helps the skin to produce collagen and makes the skin firmer and softer.
Vitamins A, C and E. - cares for the skin and protects it from free radicals.
Provitamin B5 - moisturizes, rejuvenates and soothes irritated skin.
Glycerin - causes the skin to bind moisture and makes the skin more elastic.

The foundation is light on the skin but still gives great coverage and a natural result!

The other product is a lustrous powder that gives the skin its beautiful glow! This is good partly because it is so nice, but also because you need to powder a liquid foundation to get it fixed, especially around wrinkles and fine lines because if you are still damp there, the basic make-up will slip during the day, which results in that your wrinkles will look extra deep after a few hours. But this glow powder allows you to powder yourself completely matt if needed, but still looks healthy and lively and gets rid of the powdery impression as soon as you sweep the glow powder over your face!

This basic make-up does not suit my oily skin particularly well, because when I get a little shiny, it looks twice as oily with the glow powder. In addition, this foundation does not suit me as well as mineral powder because it is not adapted to my skin type, so I get a more durable matte result with mineral powder.

But for you with dry and mature skin, as I said, this basic make-up is super good!

Fint va? :)

Nice weekend!
