Online at last!

Hooray! www.queen-cosmetics.com up and running

Well, Queen has finally launched itself and its range of skincare and make-up exclusively for sensitive skin into the 21st Century by opening our online shop at www.queen-cosmetics.com! A little tardy, perhaps, but not bad for an eighty year old. The quill pens and gas lamps will surely have to go now.

We are thrilled with the response to the site so far and the kind comments of new customers. Erica from Berkshire says:

"I can honestly say it is the easiest site to negotiate that I have used in all my 2007 Christmas shopping days!"

We hope other experiences are as favourable! If anyone has any comments to the contrary (did I just ask for criticism?), do let us know. You can email us at info@queen-cosmetics.com.

The process has been a little fraught not least because we accidently deleted a host of products a few hours after launching the site when we were still titivating things a little (take note, titivating can be dangerous). And then the electricity went which meant we had no heat or light, or, more importantly, broadband access so our best-sellers Moisturiser, Light Night Cream and Skin Cream were consigned to the ether. They are back now thankfully.

Launch aside, down here on our converted pig farm (the pigs are long gone you may be pleased to hear) in deepest West Sussex, we are concocting a new batch of our best-selling cleanser, Medicated Cleansing Lotion, so it will be all ready for the new year when everyone will be keen to undo all the damage they have done to their skin during the Christmas festivities. This is one of the most wonderful cleansers and we hope that new customers won't be put off by the name (a throwback to the 20s when 'medicated' was used to imply purity and simplicity). We have changed the names of a few of our products over the years and it tends to cause a furore among our longstanding and most loyal clients so we are sticking with this one!

Well, we must get back to sending out all the Christmas orders. We are keeping everything crossed that they arrive in time and are doing our best to get orders out the same day we receive them.

We will be back soon so hope you will join us.
