Former stylist and Hollywood event producer Jet Moody (how much do you already love her based solely on her name?) contacted me wanting me to do a Q&A on makeup for her new site. I was ThRiLlEd and excited. Jet moved back to Utah not too long ago and was kind of sick about the fact that there really wasn’t a site to inform ladies about all things fashion going on. Boutiques opening up, designer shows, up and coming artists and the like. Well thank heavens for HER right?!? ; D I was super excited about the idea of getting correct makeup concepts into the hands of readers. I mean isn’t that what I do here on the blog? I’m by no means an expert. You’re learning, I’m learning and well, that’s just a happy place I think! I would love for you guys to go and check it out and tell me what you think!!! Will you??? Pretty please??? =D Here’s the link: http://www.fashionutah.com/a-sit-down-with-classy-cosmetics/
ALSO!!!!!!!! I loved doing that cute tutorial with Kevin but ladies I am NOT about to tell him we have had not one SINGLE picture sent!!!!! I think his poor little feeling would be hurt. I am ALSO going to leave out the fact that I am now about to BRIBE you to send some in!!! You know that I absolutely aDORE my F80 foundation brush from Sigma. It buffs everything in so perfectly and holds a good amount so you actually use less…..once you experience your fist application (HA!).
So who will be the first to find an image that Kev needs to copy and send it to me? Send me a link, send me the actual pic to my email or pop the picture in the mail! =) This offer will go until I get at LEAST 5 pics to choose from. Help me out here ladies! I will keep you updated as to how many entries we get. I also never did my 1,000 subscribers giveaway and I have a HUGE makeup case to giveaway!!! Any of my readers in NY? I will be coming there the 9th-11th, yes NEXT WEEK!!! I’m so excited. My FIRST trip to the big apple!!!!! =D Okay, get to finding pictures. Send in as many as you want!
I was so excited to open my inbox to see THIS exciting ad!!! I do so love Urban Decay and NOT just for the primer, although that alone would have me coming back over and over again! Their palettes are to die for and they have amazing single shadows and bronzers. I’m excited to see that they have a pretty good looking foundation line that I must check out at my local Sephora. Okay, do YOU want to get in on this action? Just head over to their site and add anything you want to your wish list. Then cross your fingers, wish upon your favorite star and YOU could walk away with your whole list!!!!! Just to get your creative juices flowing I made my very own wish list public. Check it out and get to wishin!!!
Oh my WORD I was so excited to do this post!!! I had seen some of these tutorials on YouTube and knew I just HAD to do this with Kev. I learned a lot of things while shooting this video. One of the biggest things is that I love my cute hubby. He watches so many of my videos with me so I can show him what I’m doing or ask advice. I now know he pays NO attention at all but does it to be sweet. How do I know this? You have to watch the video! I put out so much stuff for him to use and he passed over almost ALL of it LOL!!! Another thing I learned is that I am really uptight about my makeup = D. I see myself cringing so often! I’m excited for the next tutorial with Kev but we need YOUR help! The next look will be a picture chosen by YOU. Kev and I will choose a picture sent in by one reader and he must try to copy it. It could be off the wall, beautiful, funny, WhAtEvEr!!! I’m so excited to share this with you!!! =D
Lately I have been getting a lot of emails in regard to finding things on the blog. In fact this has been a topic for a lot longer than just “lately”. When I first started hearing that it was hard I was intimidated to solve the problem. HOW do I do it? WHAT to even look up and do I need to know CODE for this??? {scary} Turns out there was a simple fix albeit still a rather “cheap” one. Until I know Blogger better or switch to something like Word Press I have installed a search bar over on the left hand side. Do you see it? Riiiight up there at the top? Yup! Right there = D. Whatever it is you are searching for just type a key word in there and voila! You’ll see a few options and you can click the specific one you are looking for =). I hope that this helps!!! =)
Have you ordered from Shabby Apple yet? I absolutely LOVE the skirt that I got from them earlier this year and canNOT stop wearing it. I was sooooo wanting to be on trend with these cute skirts that had enormous bows on them. Whats more is that bows were all the rage for the Kate Spade for fashion week in NY! Yay, another reason to wear my perfect skirt HA!
Not only does Shabby have adORABLE skirts but they have whimsical, sophisticated, smart, playful…oh the list could go on and ON about their dresses! Here are a few of the top sellers right now:
Alice, the Red Queen, I’m Late! I’m Late!
Ingrid, Elizabeth Islands, El Capitan
I am SALivating over all of the Alice In Wonderland inspired dresses. I imagine coral lips for the Alice dress then ruby red for the other two in the collection. I love the use of bright cheeks on the model don’t you? SO perfect for the theme! A dear friend of mine bought the El Capitan dress and is SO stunning in it. Shabby knows of my regard for them and as a special treat they are offering Classy readers a special deal for today and tomorrow only! 10% SITE WIDE!!!!!! That’s right ladies, any and everything!!! Just type in your promo code: favorite 10. I am soooo excited to share this with you and to see what you get! Leave me a comment telling me what top three dresses you would buy from Shabby if someone handed YOU a blank check ; D.
I found a picture on Instagram that I fell in LOVE with!!! Which btw are you not SO obsessed with Instagram? If not, you SHOULD be LOL =). I love all the different burns and filters that you can put your pictures through. I might just want to live in a world of “Earlybird” just sayin…Anyhoo, this chica had a SUPER fierce yellow eye and I got sooo inspired. Her tag is #alanadawn so go and check her out!!!
There I was without a brush in the world….okay so maybe two that were in my kit. I was in NEED of some serious makeup and had become SO reliant on those beautiful brushes of mine that I didn’t know WHAT to do!!! As most of you know we moved in to our new house not more than a month ago (I sweat just thinking about it) and wanted to have a housewarming party. The day came and we were almost done with at least five projects and the cleaning was going reeaally well. I LOVE a nicely polished home!!! The party was fantastic, the food good the company GREAT! Not a week later and our newly cleaned home was tarnished……..TARNISHED I tell you!!!!!! Along with every single room, all draperies, home decor, clothes…oh just EvErYtHiNg, my brushes were also among the dusty dusties that were our belongings. This happened Saturday, it is now Wednesday night and I am STILL cleaning *sigh*. I even had to clean my wall ladies!!! Anyhoo, out of this experience came a few great things. One being that if my husband were to see a $250 AC bill then he wouldn’t care since he would pay DOUBLE that rather than clean up the way we had to. Second, it was kind of fun to be a little inventive! = ) You really can see what you are made of in these kinds of situations. Enough of my ranting and raving…ENJOY this silly albeit applicable tutorial ; D.
Here’s the latest purple look I’ve done. I really love it because all of the colors I used were matte. I’ve found that the more and more I use them the more I become obsessed. Then again all that goes away when I use a shimmer for the first time in months and freak out that my eye looks glossy and wet, to DIE for LOL =D!!! All in all I think makeup is about phases, whatever we are feeling, how much time we have and how inventive we want to be. For me I have been using the CS Blush Palette like it is going out of STYLE!!!! So when I tried this vibrant purple I was shocked at how much I had missed drama. How long it had been! The hubs had requested a smokey eye (Idid them a lot when we met) and I am so very glad that he did =). Anyhoooo, this look is a little different for one very big reason. ONE eye is MAC and ONE eye is from the Coastal Scents 88 Palette. Can you see the differences? There are some of course but for those not ready to shell out almost $15 for one eyeshadow the 88 palette, at $19.99, is a pretty welcomed sacrifice. The colors themselves are so pigmented and long lasting that they performed just as well as MAC all day long (of course I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion under both!). I hope that you enjoy this fun wearable purple and be looking for more comparison tutorials to come!
