And the Winner Is…….
Jen’s Britney Look
Here is one of my subscribers Jen doing the Britney tutorial. I LOVE the soft colored lip and the shape you did on your eyes is amazing. What colors did you use? Was it the Elf brand? What mascara too? Tell us, tell us!!!!! =)
DOLLAR SHADOWS!!!!!
Jen has brought to my attention that ELF makeup is only a buck-a-shadow!!! I did some looking and you can buy these at Big Lots…go figure, Target, and Big Kmart stores. I will be going out next week to get some and using the UDPP and some MAC paintpots to see how well they stay. If you go to their website (that I have posted on the side) you can see the many colors that they offer and at only a BUCK…. how can you go wrong??? They also have brushes that I will do a review on as well. =)
Makeup Bargain Alert!!!!!
All hail to Kelie!!!!! She has found a KILLER deal at Kohls for a limited time makeup set. It is $25 for the whole thing and has quite a few colors. Kelie brings up a common problem:
Jen,
I have been following your blog for a month or so now and I love it. I have tried a few of the tutorials and I really like it, my only problem is the whole color issue. I don’t have a whole lot of them in any brand so I have been using what I have. It is still fun. I found a little secret that I am going to check out and most likely buy. It is at Kohls so people can buy in the store or online. I thought it might help you with telling us what colors to use or even so more of us will have the colors you use. I love your blog and hope this will help.
Go get it ladies!!!! This is a steal and will give you many of the colors you need for tutorials and is a great way to start or enhance your makeup collection on a budget!!!!

I MET MAXINE!!!!
So remember that I LOVE craft store paint brushes? Remember how I have encouraged you ALL to go out and get Maxine’s Mop? Remember how Maxine is a friend of my Mother-In-Law’s? Okay, enough of the remembers…I MET HER!!!!!! Let me just say that she is spunky, fun and FaBuLoUs!!!!! She was teaching a painting workshop out where my M-I-L also teaches so I went out there…and maybe I was a geek and got her to sign my brushes….and I was able to tell her about the blog and how we all love her brushes. I made sure to only use her brushes that morning too…I really am a nerd =). She was absolutely tickled and will be visiting the blog =). Isn’t she lovely?
