ATTENTION ALL MERMAIDS!

Pre-Order my Mermaid Starter Kits! Between now and May 10th I will be accepting Pre-orders anywhere in North America (International Coming Soon) for my special kits. Get items bundled specifically for mermaids, approved by mermaids. Take the hassle out of it!

Items will be shipped the following week.

Send a preorder request to raina@rainamermaid.com and I will send you a paypal invoice.

The following packages are a limited startup offer. Packages will evolve as we're able to get more items wholesale, and new packages will be added.

A discount can be applied for anyone who would prefer a digital copy of my book, or who already owns the book. Simply let me know in the email.

Packages:

Makeup Starter Kit
Not sure where to start with makeup? Well then our underwater makeup starter kit is the right place for you! With brand names you'll recognize and items Raina personally uses, you'll have a great introduction to the possibilities of underwater makeup. Underwater sealer, eye shadow, applicators, mascara, and special underwater makeup remover that works great is complimented by a copy of my book and very detailed specialized tutorials/instructions on how to use your new swag. Also includes the little rhinestones I love to use that everyone asks me about. Enjoy a mermaid gift and a Raina post card too!
135$ CAD (this means it can be cheaper for US) + S.H.

Chlorine Starter Kit
Chlorine got you down? It sure gets me down. It burns your eyes, kills your hair, and just eats away at everything! Sooth those eyes with special eye gel that you can use in and out of the water. Pop some awesome clear and malleable ear plugs in your ears for pool swimming. Follow it up with special ear drops. Enjoy soothing organic virgin coconut oil all over your skin and hair. Wash with an all natural sensitive soap. Sit in that tub while you read a copy of my book. Don't forget I supply you with detailed instructions and I've put up a great youtube video on this.
Enjoy a mermaid gift and a Raina post card too!

(Silicone) Tail Kits
Got a little tear in your tail? Worried about mold? Not sure what to do about a fraying waist line? Struggling to pull that thing on? Worried about chlorine damage?? Don't worry. I've got you and your tail covered. I'll ship you the very specific type of silicone you need to fix those minor issues in your tail. (Major issues should always be addressed by your tail maker) I'll send you the best lube for your tail without you having to embarrassingly go into a special store for it along with the spray bottle. I'll mix you my smooth on approved anti-mold blend and the tools to get mold off your tail and keep it away. While we're at it, I'll throw in some baking soda so you can give your tail a nice soak to neutralize the chlorine. I'll give you a list of my tips and tricks for doing all of these things along with drying your tail and making it last for a long time. I'll share with you how I do on the spot repairs. Plus you can curl up with my book when you're done!
Enjoy a mermaid gift and a Raina post card too!

I need that mermaid tail care kit in my life. Once I get my finfolk tail I will definitely be buying a kit or two from you. :)

"Congrats" to our dear Eric for copying (AGAIN!) the innovative idea of Raven and Raina.

Gotta admit, he does that with the speed of light. SO LAME. :thumbdown:

Raina, please let me know ASAP when your kits are available for worldwide purchase! <3
Arion, you just made me laugh so hard! :'D

Eric has been spouting that for a while. Mine is smooth on approved ;) he has been obsessed with everything I've been doing lately and making indirect call out posts. I'm not worried. Eric only has time for internet drama and tails

Well, it didn't take long for him to get so defensive. I have been banned from commenting on his page lol :p

I couldn't care less. Making that dweeb hissing like a cat made my day. He's so predictable *shrug*

Don't let it bug you it never actually does anything. Just annoying fb drama he has been baiting me for months. He gets lonely and wants a raina drama throwdown
It literally happens the same time of year every year

as Irene brought up; a kit for non-silicone tails would be nice.
Although it might be worth getting one no matter what.

it has a sitcom/telenovela feel to it for sure :p
like, he's secretly in love with you but in denial coz he's afraid of confessing to his bf or something lol :lol:

I think he just really wants to be a merMAID and he can't. so there's a lot of resentment there. constantly needing to prove himself and put himself in a position of control over mermaids. :/

But back to the tail kits...

I'm working out details to be able to offer FINIS products

I'd like to offer for non silicone tails but at the moment I can't get materials for latex tails. And I'm not sure what people would want with fabric tail. Suggestions?

This has really exploded for me and I'm super excited :)

And I'm not sure what people would want with fabric tail. Suggestions?

most of it (book, chlorine protection, make-up) will be the same.

instead of the lube stuff, maybe a small bottle with a vinegar-water or baking soda solution to rinse the tail in.
while it's easy to make, I know from experience it's nice to have something already made that'll work and if I had to go and do it myself, I'd skip it altogether :p

could also put in swimming spray (not sold in Europe).

some basic tips on swimming safety and chlorine protection wouldn't go amiss either if the kit is sold to people who are not on MN and didn't have the time to read up on all the stuff.

If everything goes well I should be able to have enough when I get my tax return (once Canada Post stops being a bag of butts and actually delivers it, ugh!) and pay off other things first! I'll definitely be getting the chlorine kit first! I'm really tempted with the makeup one, but I've never put makeup on myself before so it'd just end up being a total trainwreck, haha! So that one will likely wait until maybe later on when I've actually had some practice. :P

This is such a great idea Raina, and I'm really glad you're actually going through with it!

AniaR
04-29-2014, 05:43 PM
I may delay the makeup kit because I've got my fav mermaid minerals products coming in. I think they're much better than what I had picked out locally and are also vegan, organic not tested on animals!

Sweet deal! I swear if I had money I would end up buying all of your kits. Plus five silicone tails. And a portable swimming tank.

I'm Super excited too! ^.^

For Fabric Tails what is Really Needed is:
Swimsuit-saver spray (to apply Before Pool use.)
And a De-Chlorinating swimsuit soak/cleaner for immediately afterwards (or a cheap de-chlorinating shampoo. The one I use is $5 and doesn't go on my hair because it reeks of the same scent as Dad's aftershave... the scent disappears during a soak&wash cycle but on my hair it smells like I spilled Dad's cologne on me. :P )
Also useful would be Sewing Needles & Safety Pins (for quick fixes)
Thin Swimmers/Braided Elastic. (In case the elastic hem fails)
and Clear/Nude bra straps (as a backup for bikini tops.)

Might I recommend an Underwater photography kit?
SD-card,
Band-aids (goes over microphone to muffle underwater sounds)
Double-sided Suction cups. (To stick camera to the pool wall)
A super absorbent Micro-fibre cloth (polish/clean lens and to dry camera before/during opening to change SD-cards)
And anything else your keen photographers mind can think of!

For the photography one I wouldn't put an SD card--while a great idea, cameras are SO picky about what size/brand/etc. it'd be hard to match it up right.

Fabric Tails

A fragrance free rinser or soap that can be used on skin, hair and tail.
Tips to repair fabric tail, like how to repair/repaint it when the colors are scratched off in worn places like the heel and monofin edges.
Some kind of leave in conditioner you put after your bath/shower that neutralizes the chlorine already soaked up by your hair and scalp, and is ph balanced.


I can't think of anything else! I was going to add makeup in there but makeup is so hard to choose, especially when we're all different skin tones and types.

AniaR
05-25-2014, 09:52 PM
yeah Im not offering a photography one. I havent decided on fabric tail kits either because materials vary so much. I'll still be doing makeup but it'll be mermaid minerals because I personally endorse it, it's organic and all natural and cruelty free and I'll be able to order enough in bulk that people can choose colours

Can have sample kits just to give us an idea of what brands that are good to buy for fabric tails. We'll pay a small amount of course, but I think it may be a good idea to have them, especially for beginners so we don't wreck our beautiful tails with cheap stuff from the dish washing and laundry section of the local Kmart. Not that I wash mine with that stuff, I hand wash everything without soap in cold water.
