Winners & Weekends!

Well ladies.. it has been quite the memorial day weekend for your girl over here. I'm not sure that I have ever been busier in my entire life.. seriously. It's not a bad thing - but it sure did make my 3 day weekend fly right on by. I kicked off the madness Friday by doing makeup for some absolutely beautiful ladies for prom & I'm proud to say that Kelli ended up with a gorrrgeous look thanks to a little bling courtesy of glamour doll eyes .. we did almost a little hybrid of the two looks I posted before, and I think it turned out really pretty:

and obviously - her dress was gorgeous as all hell ..

and yes, I am grabbing her boob in that middle picture.

I'm gonna miss doing her makeup every year :( 

THEY GROW UP SO FAST! .. WAAAHHH!!

Anyways, the rest of the weekend was picnic packed, and for the first time ever - me and my girls Julia and Molly cooked for all of the boys. Would have helped to know that the grill was broken before we made 30 hamburgers and then had to cook them all on a goddamn skillet on the stove - but HEY! We pulled it off. I'd like to thank these two divas for their wonderfulness this weekend:

Love 'em.

And in conclusion, I'm going to announce the winner of the MAC lipstick giveaway which issssss..

Kell's Favorite Things Giveaway Winner

First off, I wanted to thank everyone who entered the giveaway. I've had the pleasure of talking to so many of my wonderful readers via e-mail and comments and you are all such lovely, lovely girls. I could not ask for a better following, which makes giving you guys free stuff even more rewarding :o) With that being said, it really makes my day when my random number generator chooses the number of a girl that I feel is totally TOTALLY deserving of winning one of my giveaways. She seriously put her heart and soul into entering this giveaway (trust me, I read every single one of her tweet entries) and it makes me very happy to announce that the lovely Anita (aka fyiexplains) is the winner of my "Favorite Things" giveaway.

I'm going to ask Anita to pwetty pwetty pleaseee make a video for me talking about all of the products she was sent so I can link it on here! And all those extra entries bloggers always talk about gaining by tweeting & posting - they pay off, friends! Just ask Anita ;o)

Exposed Organics + CD Winners

So thanks to the wonderful world of twitter - I came to follow a wonderful mineral makeup company called "exposed organics". EO is totally vegan, so if you're a fan of natural products ... it doesn't get much better than this. They offered to send me some stuff to try out and let's just say that I will definitely be putting an order in with them soon. They're located in PA like me (represent!) and all of their stuff was definitely my style. She sent me a lip gloss, 4 eye dusts, and a container of their "nectar" (which is a powder eyeshadow transformer). Here are the swatches of the 4 shadows I received:

dreidel, paradise, frost, & mocha

(I love eye dusts that shimmer without being crazy glittery & these definitely do)

The great thing about the nectar that they sent me is that it not only lets you mix it with the eye dusts to create brighter, more vivid colors - but it lets you mix colors together to create a really smooth and even blend of the two. I mixed frost & paraside together to end up with a beautious goldish purple (I tried to take a picture but it just didn't do it justice). This is one of the best shadow transformers I have tried since you can actually squeeze it out. Many are an actual applicator attached to the lid of the product so it's a huge pain in the ass to clean everytime you want to mix colors or use a new color. This one can squirt right into your eye dust's lid and you're ready to go. I'd highly recommend this - especially since it's only $5.

Also, the lip gloss that they sent me is HANDS DOWN my new favorite. It's called "sugarplum" and it's a dark purple in the tube but when it goes on it's really sheer and shimmery. I never thought I'd love a purplish pink color with my skin tone but I totally do so thanks EO for showing me this :o) haha.. Here's the picture of it off of their website:

See what I mean? I would have thought it'd have been way too crazy dark. Not at all, very pretty and totally a new staple of mine. Plus it smells delicious :o) Almost like a mix of bubblegum and butterscotch.

If you guys want to check out any of EO's products, you can find everything on their website http://www.exposedorganics.com/ :o) I hope you guys will check them out because they're a great company and they're also very afforable. No crazy prices to be found. And you know I'm a fan of that! ;o) Big big thanks to Exposed Organics... you guys are fantastic! xoxo
