Changes For VMB


VMB Change.
As may have seen when they drop by the site that VMB underwent changes the past few weeks . Along with this came many other changes in products that I carry . I have been putting it off as long as I could to not increase prices as supplies go up as well as shipping rates . So I had to step back begin to strategize what I was to do next. After looking at sales of what does and does not move as well for me in the past few years I had to make the decision to remove certain products and scents so that I may keep prices of what does sell for me at the same low cost to my cusotmers. Perfume Oils are the biggest seller which VMB had to go down another path to keep up with the demand.

So with that said I regret to say, Body Powders, Grab Bags, and Sachet Sachet dolls have been discontinued.
Scents I no longer will carry will be Forget Me Not, Mourning Lilly, Wicked Woman, Arsenic and Lace, Dark Angel . There are 35 scents available now after the changes to make room for new scents to be added but as new scents are made a few more fragrances will no longer be carried and will be replaced with the new. "Absinthe" is now Absinthe Nights", this is to separate my perfume fragrance from the "fly by night" companies popping up for gothic perfumes here lately . I do not want to be the same as everyone else so a more unique distinctive name was made .Still the same lucious scent... just a new name :)

Gift Sets Boxes will be still be made but at special requests or sold on my Etsy shop premade and ready to ship especially around the holidays but no longer as a listed item on the site. The only gift set available is the Chocolate Gothique Skull Soap Set with a lower price for you :)

Candles also have been lowered in price as they will be packaged differently now.

Soap, I no longer carry ..I know a big shock :( Well it is the one thing that a price increase really needed to be done on to keep up with supply increase cost. But the truth of it is this is also the one thing that with making small batches to order takes quite a bit out of me and at the moment I need to step a way from this for a while . I do forsee making individual lots of premade soap in certain scents and selling on my etsy shop but for now the soap shop has closed for a while focusing mainly on perfumes.

What VMB will carry from now on is Perfume Oils, Bath Salts, Lotions ,Candles and Lockets as VMB has ventured down a path of becoming solely a Dark Boudoir Perfumery specializing in handmade Perfume Oils .
As time goes on, I have to face the reality of ...I am only one in a business that has grown 20 times the size of what I ever thought and it is so very much to handle .My day begins a 4:00 am and ends at 10pm .Which includes a full time job in between , with mom duties, wife duties, and house duties, not to mention wanting to expand on my Gothic Southern Belle Art name many may know about on the side. So after a while there is only so much energy drinks one can drink and 45 minute cats naps that one can take to keep going ;)

So for my sanity and in still keeping with making dark scents which is what I love to do best these changes have to come about. With this also, turn around time will be much quicker to where I can go back to the 3-5 days to get your order intsead of the 7-15 days I have now .. that will be a big relief!! So that wil begin in about 2 weeks, orders will go out much faster!

I do hope that many will stick around through the new transition though somethings may not be available any more, but a new VMB has emerged, still offering dark delights to please the senses and pamper your dark heart .

Ok so spring is here and with that brings new items and ideas as many may know from the past years . Speaking of which, guess what? VMB is 5 years old this year !!!! Though I have been making dark goodies for longer than that, it was 5 years ago that I offically started my business and gave the name "Velvet Moon Bathery." YAY! so proud to have been able to turn what I love from a hobby into a busy little business over the the years providing unique bath and body delights for many dark hearted all over the world . I have made the aquaintance of some really beautiful and interesting customers and have made many wonderful new online freinds . I reeeeaaallly love what I do and I do not see an end in sight any time soon so your stuck with me ..he-he.. !


With that aside I come to the spring celebration of the anniversay for VMB and with this comes a few new items to be added . First off is the Dark Boudoir Mystery Bag ..ooooh mysterious(lol) what is it you ask ? Well it is a grab bag of sorts with salts, soaps, perfume vials and powders as well as a little sachet and perhaps some other surprises but you don't know what scent you will get these products in so it gives you a chance to be daring and try a scents you thought maybe you would not like but be suprised you did. Also it is a good little indulgance for an array of products at a great little price :) Drop by and check them out.


SAMPLERS on the way ! These are to be a spend thrifty addition for my customers who would like to just sample a few products before they commit to buy a larger size of anything . They will be just little 1 to 2 ounce bags filled with salts, powders, 2 oz lotion bottles, skull wax melts and soap samples too . All packaged with bows and feathers and my lables of my own art design much like what you see on the website and shown above. I loved these pictures so much that I am also thinking of making empty gift boxes with a top setting of these pictures on the box..perhaps tote bags like I used make and sell when I first started I would love to have a tote with any of these designs for my make up, books and what nots I carry .. wouldn't you ? ...we will see!
Sachets and Dolls

Ok, so I took a look at my sachet dolls and felt they needed and upgrade so by the end of the month of April I will still have the Poison Tea dolls to offer but I will offer them in black cloth as well a much more dark apeal to them I think. I also will make small square sachets with a picture tranfer of what you see in pictures above. The sachet will be a 5 inch x5 inch black cloth sachet hand sewn of course with black lace and filled with powders and scented beads in any of the VMB perfume blends of your choice. I am working on a corset doll sachets not quite finished but perhaps next month they will make thier debute. Also the mourning skeleton doll will be available but with out scent . This is part of my plan to add regular boudoir dolls to the site so look for an up grade on those too coming the end of this month .


As for scents I think VMB is done for the time being there still is a plan to make a Seven Deadly Sins collection which still is yet to come but one thing at a time .Boy do I got the sewing bug so I gottta go with the creative flow on this one.
Till next time my dark lovelies!!!

Happy 2009 ...wow !!I hope your Christmas and New Year celebrations were wonderful !


I for one have been busy making new products during my break ....out with the old and in with new I am so very excited !
Ok, so every now and then have to step back and see what sells for VMB and what does not and replace it with something new ....so I am sorry to say but discontinued are the Body Sprays . Perhaps I will bring something similar back such as a room and linen spray but for now these are no longer available.
In its place I have added the long awaited Body Dusting Powders that are now available for purchase. These are talc free powders made from simple ingredients of arrow root powder, cornstarch ,scented in VMB oils blends that are a silky and aromatic treat for the body after a warm shower or bath or anytime you wish to feel a little sultry ..do drop by and take a peek . ;)
Also newley added in replacemnt of the Coffin Gift boxes ( I still cry about not being able to carry those by the way ..) are a lovely and dark Gothic Boudoir addition I call "Pandora's Box" . Though not a morbid as the cofin boxes it still does have a dark elegance to it that is unique all to it's own and still full of many bath and body treats and for a lesser price.

So just quick shout about what is new with VMB and to look for a new perfume collection and sachet styles of dolls to be added in the coming weeks.
Until next time....
Dark Kisses,
Nina.

Vampire Ball








On October 18th sweet Vampire Vixen Leslie Malotky hosted along with her friends a splendid Victorian Gothic Vampire Ball at her beautiful home in Milwaukee that was transformed into a gothic mansion of dark vampire ambiance and funeral fun . VMB was asked to provide perfume vials for gifts bags she created for her guests as well as scented candles and powder room toiletries for the ladies in attendance to enjoy . Leslie sent me pictures of the grand event and oh my what a spectacular event it was! I do hope you enjoy these picture as I have and am still so very honored to have been asked to help out with some dark goodies!
Here is the link all the albums of pictures taken at the event, its prepartions, beautiful haunting decor and party vampy guests!
