First of all I want to send out a huge thank you to all of my wonderful followers. A girl couldn’t ask for a better group o gals!!!! You know that time in life where things just start to…”happen”? My friends I am at the precipice. SO many wonderful opportunities are manifesting themselves and I am humbled, grateful and just a touch of scared. I need your help!!! I have different companies that are willing to fund our contests here at Classy Cosmetics, have giveaways and basically throw products at us for review. The catch being that they want to see that I have followers, people that listen and would be interested in their products. I am a girl of little means and I would LoVe to be able to show you different varieties of makeup, fashion and anything else that tickles our fancies. Your job (and of course mine too) is to share this site with any and everyone that you feel would benefit from tutorials, tips and tricks. Most importantly they need to click the follow button so that we can get the ball rolling….I almost typed running tee hee =). Let’s show em what we are made of ladies. We are at 38 followers at present. What will it be next week??? I love you all and am excited to have more contests where YOU have more chances to win BIGGER and BETTER goodies!!!!! Let’s DO this thing!!!!

Hi there lovelies. We are going to be heading into a series I’d like to call…..The Starlet Series. Basically if any of you see a picture that you want to have recreated then send it on in to my email address and I will do my best!!! I, myself, have seen some pictures that I want to do so I start it off with……my new muse. Camilla Belle is, in my mind, one of the most stunning actresses out there. She has style, grace, a natural beauty and is just the perfect starlet to start out our series. This is my interpretation of her look and I hope you like it. Let’s get the request flowing in!!!!

Hey ladies!!! Just wanted to give you a few tips and pointers on how to get the perfect lip. I’m a true believer that a face is never finished without some color on the lips! Even if you only have 5 minutes for makeup, color on the lip is a must. Hope you enjoy the tutorial and I hope it helps you create your perfect lip!
~Quote of the day…. (from my friend Cynthia)~
” The way you look and dress tells people how you expect to be treated.”
So throw on some color and expect some lip action from someone special!!
*P.S. Please ignore the awkward pauses… this was my first movie tutorial. Some of us just aren’t as naturally talented as Jenni.*

Be DaRiNg!!!!!!
Wear
RED lips today. Just
DO it. The first time I sported the shade my family was like…”What? No, sorry Jen that is just not your color.” Then I moved to Russia for a year and a half and wore it like NObodies business and it became one of my signature looks. I feel I missed out on many years of red lips. A fanTASTIC (and my favorite) tutorial for ruby red lips can be found
here.

I am in LOVE with false lashes!!! Here I demonstrate how to get those buggers to stay on without going all “wonky” on ya. I think watching a lot of tutorials has helped me learn how to perfect the art but PRACTICE is key!!!! Keep on practicing and it will be easier than putting on mascara…unless you have problems putting on mascara. If that’s the case, think of something else that’s easy for ya =).

In this recent issue of Us Weekly, Poppy Montgomery asked this question,”Do I really need to clean my makeup brushes? If so, how often?”
The response was this
ABSOLUTELY; clean them once a month. “Brushes can harbor bacteria that causes skin irritation and breakouts,” celeb makeup pro Christopher Drummond tells US. Swish bristles in baby shampoo for 30 seconds then lay flat to dry.
I agree, for sure that they need to be cleaned but more than that wouldn’t hurt and I think they should be disinfected as well. For a homemade recipe click here!
