Fashion always has a way of recycling through timeless looks. When thinking of timeless, I’m more inclined to swoon over the 20’s-50’s. It’s more comical if you ask me to look at myself during the 80’s and 90’s. And YET here I am digging into shades that I haven’t used (no it’s not the same makeup, but the same colors) since then. I was the girl that wore the HUGE jeans, had crispy curly hair and sported the almost black lips. For YOUR viewing entertainment I take us back, just a touch as we revisit said lips but put a more “now” spin on it. This is a GREAT look for welcoming in the fall weather. Bust out the berries girls, Jenni from the block is back!!!

Everyday Face & Randomness
Purple Cut Crease
Today is all about cutting your crease. That pretty much means putting whatever color you choose in your crease and only blending above that line, never below. Some people are amazing at it and I revere them for it! For example,

This is a technique that I want to be better at so to do that, one must practice! I hope to look back at earlier videos and giggle ; D. Want to take the journey with me? Well, here’s the first one! Hope you enjoy it!!!
Saint Patrick’s Day Eyes
Top o the mornin to ya! Have I told you lately that I love the color green on my eyes? It is one of “my colors” from the color wheel and it just makes me happy every time I put it on. This fun little shoot was done by the amazing Miss Sara Marie from Sara Simpson Photography. It was featured on my Instagram Fashion account complete with outfit details. I have been having so much fun sharing my closet with you guys…and can I say that it is a little freeing? I have been one, like a lot of girls, to be down on myself when I look in the mirror. This creative outlet has helped my own what I love and share it. By talking about the pieces that I love from my closet and explaining why they work for me, it has helped me to compliment myself in a round about way. Not to feel conceited (at all) but more so to point out the positive and be happy with me =). I felt the combination of the outfit and the makeup was just perfect for today! Here’s the video tutorial on how you can get your own amazing green and gold glittery eyes. Enjoy!

Wanted a thicker lash look today so I grabbed TWO pair of my trusted Demi Wispies on each eye. LOVED the bulk that it created and the drama it gave. Used my trusty Cover Girl Bombshell black liner to fill in any gaps making a seamless line across my eye. I am for SURE doing this for a while ; ). Also, if you don’t already know I am starting a clothing IG account for girls that are not your typical stick thin figure. You can go there and find me at classycozmetics. This outfit is featured there and you can get all the details on where the pieces were purchased.

No Foundation Flawless Face
So who doesn’t want a flawless face? Who doesn’t want to walk around with glowing skin all the time without a care in the world? For those of you that have had acne, scaring, hyper pigmentation, rosacea etc you know that it’s not that easy to walk around with full confidence all the time. Quite the opposite, you want to sometimes crawl in a hole and stay there till you clear up. I have been brought to tears hearing my friends talk about the changes they are seeing in their skin and their faces and how it makes them feel as if they are losing the person they used to be. We damage our skin in so many ways so when it starts showing we wish we could rewind time. What would you say to yourself? I would tell myself to spray tan, to use sunscreen, to moisturize daily, to exfoliate and use lemons to kill bacteria on my face. I would tell myself to STOP plucking!!!! LOL Oh the pictures I have from my youth where I can’t even see that I HAVE brows! Bad Jen BAD Jen! Well, here I am going to show you how to only use powder to create your flawless face. If you have severe redness I still recommend using a green correcting tool before applying powder.
Look at her. She says,”Look at me, I am happy, I am carefree, I have great skin!” Blah blah blah…yes I’m envious LOL!!!
Lily Collins Look
I THINK SHE IS STUNNING!!!!! Yes, I was just shouting…but can you blame me? Now I see collections come and go. I’m not one to run out and buy every single one like most beauty bloggers. Would I love to review them? Well sure! but when does the madness stop? Do I really want to spend all of my money on makeup when I already have a ton of it (and most of the colors that come out I have a duplicate for)? Not really. This launch made me sit up and take notice though and I will be matching everything I have to see what can be used in place of then getting the REST if I don’t have it. Maybe I’m just loooonging for Spring (I am btw) or maybe it’s time for me to start makeup shopping again. It wouldn’t be too out of line, I mean, I AM a beauty blogger. It’s what I do! =) What cosmetics collection made YOU run out the door to get it?
Merry Christmas!!!
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heeeaaaarrrrrt!!!!! =D It’s Christmas Eve. Can you feel it? Can you tell something special is coming? I remember as a kid, this night held such magic. We would not only read T’was the Night Before Christmas but we would read the even more wonderful story in Luke about our Savior being born in a manger in Bethlehem. We would sit by the lit Christmas tree with all other lights in the house off and feel the words my dad read. We knew they were true. I still do =). It was such a good transition to a peaceful sleep……but how could one SLEEP???
