On Tuesday, April 16th, 2024, a most beautiful soul left us all way too soon.
Ashley became part of our Sparkle Family in 2016, right when I first started our Instagram page. In January 2017, we took our Instagram friendship to the next level - and became REAL LIFE FRIENDS at Ipsy's Generation Beauty event. From that point on, I had not just a Beauty Bestie, but a Creative Bestie. Many late nights, we would be texting ideas, inspirations and created such a loving and safe space for the other.
I loved the aesthetics of her page and she would take the most amazing photos of my product. There are so many of her "sprinkles" all over my page, my life and my heart.
I am in the process of rebranding and repackaging, and of course, she was part of that. Once again, "Ashley sprinkles" will be found and felt throughout my next collections.
In the best way I know how, I took my grief and poured my literal tears + my very cherished memories and moments with her and created a Tribute design for Our Ashley. She was mine, but I'm sure she was yours as well.
This exclusive container and lid, PINK, was the last text that we exchanged.
Ashley: "So excited! What's the pink one?"
Marii: "Meeee too! Not sure, I wanted to play around with color options...and figured we could still add a pink option to the Mariiposa Collection".
It's with love and so fitting to have OUR ASHLEY be in this packaging that we spoke about.
Outside: a frosted white base with a pink curved lid, metallic gold letting
Inside: 2 ounces of our Toasted Marshmallow scented vegan pearl cleanser + 🦋 charm keepsake
And adding 2 extra gifts: @slmissglambeauty’s blush brush + the black pouch that was 💯 Ashley’s idea.
Thank you in advance for loving Ashley, I'm sure she loved you right back!
Hugs to you all,
Marii

We hope you may always CHOOSE TO SPARKLE, because you are magical!
Instructions:
* Start with a cup of clean water to dip your brush in, moisten the container + begin swirling.
* The first time you swirl, do not be disheartened, it may take a little longer to loosen up the gunk.
* Rinse + repeat as needed & soon your patience will be rewarded with beautiful bubbles that rinse clear from your brush.
WAIT! Do not waste those bubbles in your container! It might not look pretty but take that next dirty brush + reuse those bubbles. The gunk will rinse out, we promise!
* One by one, squeeze excess water from your brush with a towel + lay flat to air dry. Dry time will be shorter + your brush bristles will feel soft, revived + look new again!
* With your very last clean brush, use it to swirl + clean off any residue in the container under water.
* Air dry the lid + container before locking + loading it for next time.
Then, enjoy a well-deserved cocktail for a job well done!
