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.

*disclaimer* another silly move on my part. The first “lip gloss” I open up is actually a cream shadow. Yeah. The laughs keeps coming ; ).
Love is/was in the air this past month thanks to the wonderful holiday that is Valentine’s Day =). I was in Cali during that time though so I missed out on being with my hubby and two sweet boys but had SUCH a wonderful time with my brother and his family! My hubby made sure I had my Lindt Truffles delivered to me by my brother…..awwwwwww….and they were SO good!!! While I was gone my Ipsy bag came and I was eager to open it when I got home =). I have to put a small disclaimer on this video that I “let go” something I would typically edit out. I left it in because I am human and though you might think it was funny ; ).

I have to admit, I sometimes pass by Cover Girl in the drugstore or at least stop quickly just to grab their basic mascara. One thing that HUGELY caught my eye, and it wasn’t too long ago, was the Flamed Out Capital Collection featuring STUNNING looks from the Hunger Games. Did you see all the ads of the different looks signifying the various districts??? IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! So inspiring and creative. Here are some of my favorites from that line:
IIIIIII meeeeeaaaaan RIGHT?????? After that Cover Girl was on my radar. So ironic that their very next line I was chosen to review. I jumped at the chance! Their newest line of beauty goodness is the Bombshell Line.
Sofia Vergara is the face of this new line (hello, she is a total bombshell!). They contacted me a few weeks ago and sent me a Walmart gift card to go and try all of the makeup wonderfulness. I was excited to have this line blow my mind. I do wish I would have had ALL of my makeup around me so that I could dive deeper into doing different looks. (I took basics with me since my whole goal for the next two weeks is to get my sweet brother and his wife ready for twins (numbers 5&6) come soon!). I WILL be doing more looks for this line when I get home but was also pretty happy with what I could achieve with what I had on hand. I am LOVING the Gold Goddess creme shadow!
Here is the video and make SURE you stick around for the end because Cover Girl wants to give one of my lucky readers a $100 gift card so that you too can buy the ENTIRE Bombshell line. This is what you get:
6 amazingly shimmery & light reflective creme shadows
– Ice Queen

2 Intense Liquid Liners by Lashblast

Another Beauty Bag for the books. First one of 2014, yay! =) A few announcements in this video.

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!!!

Eating “clean”, Ipsy find (and love) and going “natural”. I’ve had such a transformation since moving to Utah. There are so many things I’ve been introduced to. Oils, clean eating, lifting weights vs. cardio, I did makeup for my first movie and I learned a lot about fake blood, scars on the face, hypothermia, just so much!!! Here are a few more things that I’ve learned ; D.

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?
