Cindy Lou and Martha May Too

Cindy Lou and Martha May Too


Here’s a funky look inspired by a request that I got. 
Someone’s was having a Whoville themed Christmas Party and I liked that a lot!
I looked all through pictures to come up with a look
but alas could not find just the right one,
not even in a book.
So I thought and I pondered just what would I do
Then it came to me! I would not do just one Who….but TWO!!!
That’s right not just one Who would do for today
so a new Who was born, her name? “Cindy May”
or Martha Lou? Cindy Martha? Lou May?

I think I’ll need to better hone my Who skills especially since I keep saying and writing Betty Lou instead of Cindy. Oh Jen… but you get the picture =D. Merry Christmas!!! What are YOU doing this year to keep you from being the Grinch?

Holiday Sparkle

Here is a look with a little Holiday
sparkle =). Sorry I had to resort to my old camera for this one but if
you follow the techniques and use the same colors then your results will
be AmAzInG!!!

Red Lip Flashback

I absolutely aDORE this lip and wanted to revisit it for the holidays. The only thing that I would do differently is take my MAC wax pencil (usually meant for brows) and line just above my lip line. That way it would trap any lipstick wanting to wander up into creases =). Merry Christmas!!!!
Shabby Apple Holidays

Shabby Apple Holidays



Shabby Apple has to die for fashion. I can’t help but peruse up and down their online “aisles” of gorgeous dress after gorgeous dress. My blog is appropriately named Classy Cosmetics since I would love nothing more than to have all aspects of my life be deemed as such. Classy! Makeup, hair, speech, clothing, demeanor, all of it. Sometimes I feel as if Shabby has jumped right into my head and produced my thoughts exactly. Their bathing suits during the Summer are perfect, their Spring dresses are casual, cool and retro, the Fall line is always structured and berry colored and the Winter always brings class!!! This black number might be on my Christmas list now and hopefully my hubby will come through. It makes me think of old Hollywood glamour infused with modern day whimsy. Right now at Shabby you can enjoy FREE shipping for this WHOLE month. Yes, that means my hubby better get ON it!!!!! =)

Catherine Zeta-Jones Tutorial

Catherine Zeta-Jones Tutorial

Do you remember the first time you remember Catherine Zeta Jones in all of her gorgeous glory? For me it was Zorro and I thought she was so beautiful and such a great actress! I remember the magazine that came out when she wore this look on the red carpet as well. I was tickled that they were spotlighting how to make brown eyes pop and low and behold…I HAD BROWN EYES!!!! I was so eager to try the green all around and when the look was completed I LoVeD it and sported it for a while =). Just recently I got an email from Tanja asking for a Catherine look and I immediately remembered my fav green eye and decided to pull it out and share it with you. Enjoy and sport if for  a while yourself! =)
