GIVEAWAYS!Hi Beautycallers. I must apologize for being MIA. I haven't been feeling well and had some family stuff I needed to take care of. I hope everyone has been well. Talking about being well, whoever is on the East Coast, BE SAFE! Did anyone else go to multiple stores yesterday and water, flashlights and batteries were all sold out? And SO crowded. Yep it was not fun.
<br />
<br />I've been wanting to share 2 beauty giveaways I won this spring & summer.
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">The first one was from the awesome <a href="http://blingingbeauty.com/?p=9516" target="_blank">Blinging Beauty</a>. The win was <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-Amazonian-clay-12-hour-blush" target="_blank">Tarte's Amazonian 12-hour blush</a> in "Blushing Bride." Look how pretty.

Hope you are all staying cool today, it's a scorcher here.<br /><br />I first heard of <a href="http://www.aveneusa.com/" target="_blank">Avene</a> while watching <a href="http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/1694/my-favourite-skincare-products-part-one/" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge's "My Favorite Skincare Products Part 1"</a> video. I LOVE all of her videos. Because I would LUV to meet her, I've been asking on her <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lisaeldridgedotcom" target="_blank">facebook</a> page when she will be in the NYC area. You can also find Lisa on <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/lisa_eldridge" target="_blank">twitter</a>.<br /><br />Avene's products are targeted for sensitive skin. I was breaking out a bit, on the right and left side of chin, usually known as hormonal break outs. Damn those stubborn blackhead suckers. If you are oily, combination or dry, your skin always needs moisture. Hence all of their products contain water. Not just any water, Thermal Skin Water, from the Cevennes Mountain in southern France. Per their website here are some details behind this water:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A 40-year journey in the Cevennes Mountain allows the water in Avène to acquire the perfectly balanced mineral composition and become gradually enriched with the trace elements and silicates.</span><br /><br />For additional information read <a href="http://www.aveneusa.com/water-the-essential-source-of-sk/" target="_blank">Water, the essential source of skin health.</a><br /><br />The three products I purchased were the Gentle get cleanser, for normal to combination sensitive skin, Thermal spring water, for all skin types, and the Cream for intolerant skin.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglT3Ext7jdC_SWaEh-XrOnuR_nvEAqCZY77_Qx8hW1Jwzx0h8UZsLD6ep4FK048rZKFicWY8-uX8pWEDyH4MM6CItoHLaOA9qhWb9-Zkjdpb11-bPRUnJNGqL0m8flA1K_xf9pVUC9X_Q/s1600/gentle+gel+cleanser+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglT3Ext7jdC_SWaEh-XrOnuR_nvEAqCZY77_Qx8hW1Jwzx0h8UZsLD6ep4FK048rZKFicWY8-uX8pWEDyH4MM6CItoHLaOA9qhWb9-Zkjdpb11-bPRUnJNGqL0m8flA1K_xf9pVUC9X_Q/s320/gentle+gel+cleanser+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636319679152644530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here are the cleanser's benefits per their website:<br /><ul style="font-style: italic;"><li>Gently and thoroughly removes impurities and make-up without drying</li><li>Moisturizes skin and provides anti-oxidant protection leaving skin soft, supple and smooth</li><li>Pleasant fragrance tolerated by sensitive skin </li><li>Oil-free, soap-free</li><li>Avène Thermal spring water to soothe and soften skin</li><li>Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic</li></ul>For additional information read <a href="http://www.aveneusa.com/nc/gentle-gel-cleanser/?sword_list[0]=gentle&sword_list[1]=gel&sword_list[2]=cleanser" target="_blank">Gentle Gel Cleanser</a>. I absolutely love this cleanser. I was advised by the girl at the store to gently wipe off with a washcloth. By using a washcloth, you are getting an extra benefit of gentle exfoliation.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.<br /><br />Yesterday was a happy day but a also a sad day. I visited my best friend Emily and her 4 month old son Nathan. He's SO SO SO CUTE! Next week she is moving to Maryland because her husband just began his fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. Yes it's an incredible an opportunity, but sad because she will no longer be close by. It's not "goodbye", it's "see you soon."<br /><br />Unfortunately because I was running late (what else is new) I wasn't able to do as an elaborate eye as I wanted to. But it's all good :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgStY6g9LpF2CvLmYv2b6pKJwyWNlAND2Nwm9p-cuwvS4lrpXXDfCyeBFeiUwJ0UHNL8eMrNQfq6p1efxrOV00L2Ydvx3w3ufEn2my4UQ3467uLfakfqHn9XPyJpgFF1VUZnm747dnAPWA/s1600/close+up+FOTD.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgStY6g9LpF2CvLmYv2b6pKJwyWNlAND2Nwm9p-cuwvS4lrpXXDfCyeBFeiUwJ0UHNL8eMrNQfq6p1efxrOV00L2Ydvx3w3ufEn2my4UQ3467uLfakfqHn9XPyJpgFF1VUZnm747dnAPWA/s320/close+up+FOTD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635346880763387938" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmq6duyAvnmZpBFzO6ZTbp1lh9ZVqK3xVsDzzDpsg1ZagDn0GKZlvj-oa6N1RAytv8WRtfWTKq7hSCGE_d6fmssLMgud578mjLtPIQs31gJzn5ghIL5YrjLzdroCuCZrXBZbp2g6m2aY/s1600/FOTD.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmq6duyAvnmZpBFzO6ZTbp1lh9ZVqK3xVsDzzDpsg1ZagDn0GKZlvj-oa6N1RAytv8WRtfWTKq7hSCGE_d6fmssLMgud578mjLtPIQs31gJzn5ghIL5YrjLzdroCuCZrXBZbp2g6m2aY/s320/FOTD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635347214330525634" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCaW3cOf0td2JNziNirWUzI8-jzZtHOrlD9Ai-rEQkn4l5YziWnAKLi3XkWckGFOBIICNEgoPa-RhrZSv5JmM-rHWXVEg6QxFXex3OpWvnoKGoGBBLv2-BdFG6Bc7REMyDJ6B9ZNKmgzo/s1600/eyes.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCaW3cOf0td2JNziNirWUzI8-jzZtHOrlD9Ai-rEQkn4l5YziWnAKLi3XkWckGFOBIICNEgoPa-RhrZSv5JmM-rHWXVEg6QxFXex3OpWvnoKGoGBBLv2-BdFG6Bc7REMyDJ6B9ZNKmgzo/s320/eyes.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635347391182930994" border="0" /></a>(It looks like I'm sleeping here but I am awake)<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">FACE</span><br />Bobbi Brown corrector "light bisque"<br />Clinique airbrush concealer "neutral fair"<br />Jouer Cosmetics luminizing moisture tint "pearl"<br />Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush "tipsy"<br />Tarte smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder "bronze"<br />Tarte Amazonian clay shimmering powder "champagne"<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">EYES</span><br />Smashbox Brow Tech To Go "brunette"<br />Anastasia Brow Duality "matte camille/sand shimmer "<br />Tarte emphasisEYES clay shadow stick "bronze"<br />Tarte emphasisEYES waterproof clay shadow/liner "black"<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Loreal luxurious color eyeliner "navy" (<span style="font-style: italic;">I've had this liner forever, I don't believe this particular line is made anymore.

Sorry I have been MIA for a little while. Looking for a job is a job in itself. Speaking of jobs, I had an interview on Friday and guess what store was right across the street? That's right, <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/Entry.jsp" target="_blank">Saks Fifth Avenue</a>. In my opinion, no other Saks store compares.<br /><br />When I saw the store I thought to myself this would be a great idea for a post, to share some pictures of the bottom floor with you, COSMETICS, SKINCARE & FRAGRANCES GALORE. When any of you are in NYC, you have to go inside the store, and let me tell you, you will DROOL.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi94XYMYS_cGQH-jpSx6LHdcuuxecS5fCd56vc7PrICmMXHKSNN9MdJWICzktNqudaowJTHylSlZkPPGO4sRIa_9nQN3fUnWDdNUrWp0tAqmKjbfZqokwSQ8kqRNTJHhKP3h3JCTRpxy5Q/s1600/door+of+saks.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I called the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/" target="_blank">Ulta</a> near me and they were having a special, $25 for cut AND blowdry! Pretty good deal if you ask me. I only purchased two items, <a href="http://wnwbeauty.com/Product.php?Pid=27" target="_blank">Wet n Wild</a> nail polish in "caribbean frost", and Sue Devitt lip enhancing gloss in "coral sands." I discovered <a href="http://www.suedevittbeauty.com/biography.html" target="_blank">Sue Devitt</a> a while ago and love her products. What I love is that they have anti-aging properties so they are good for your skin. I have been looking for a peachy/coral lip gloss and they looked a bit too orange on me. This is the exact color I was looking for. I feel the picture is misleading, it is NOT a pink. I have an idea many of you know this...many Macy's stores now have a beauty section called "Impulse Beauty" where you can find Sue Devitt products. <br /><br />Can anyone recommend a true teal polish? I'd prefer not so expensive, even though, don't get me wrong, I love <a href="http://www.essie.com/" target="_blank">Essie</a> and <a href="http://www.opi.com/" target="_blank">OPI</a>. I'm feeling a nail polish kick coming on.

Hope everyone is having a nice week.<br /><br />Does anyone ever wonder what eyeshadow colors to use for going on an interview? If you have then please read on. I had an interview the other day. Don't even think about doing a dark smokey eye or using funky colored eye shadows (I have a feeling you guys know this but just in case). You want your makeup to be conservative looking. How conservative depends on a few factors, those being the industry, financial vs. creative, where the actual interview is taking place, be it at an office or at a Starbucks, or the season. From what I have seen, when women go on an interview, or go to work, they mostly wear neutral colors, brow, grays, taupes, etc. While this is always your safest bet, it doesn't mean you can't add a little color. I went for my <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-lock-and-roll" target="_blank">Tarte lock & roll 12 hour eyeshadow in rose gold</a>. This color is not a typical neutral, but it's still safe and very pretty, if I say so myself. In the spring and summer I prefer lighter eye shadow colors for during the day.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0jh69NP9CGPTPoY48JrOrSnsUNh_QoKgVVAS6e_ZceERzrsD6xYIkX7paM4YVI1j020Ias3jlKNLnhT4tynP0xjXIm1Pu7WBe3e7TfxlSl2LYWjupVVh1MlT7qdw95_TQ97RBq9_v1-o/s1600/face+makeup+2.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Thanks for stopping by. I was planning on posting this last night, but due to our toilet overflowing at 1:00am, it just wasn't going to happen. But I'm here now to share my Sunday with you.<br /><br />I was like a little kid opening the <a href="http://www.qvc.com/tarte-Amazonian-Clay-Full-Coverage-Foundation-SPF-15-w/Brush.product.A216501.html?refType=IOFFER&refNumber=A217165&sc=A216501-DTLR&cm_sp=UPSELL-_-IOFFER-_-2&relType=IOFFER&refLocation=2" target="_blank">Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation</a> box. And then there was feeling the amazing brush, all I can say is WOW. It should get an award for "best foundation brush." I was hesitant to buy it because I don't like the heavy feel of a full coverage foundation. I prefer sheer to light coverage. But after reading all the glowing reviews on QVC, recommendations from fellow tartlettes, I caved. And you would think it must be amazing if it's always sold out on QVC.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qw5KuqbFYZrBFy9cCOkO8rCYQpy-gliLitxJQXn4nUAptOIvlYYp5zo1RWSUhR8sFs2B1lJdnv9auo3hSS4BTGU5qD1CJ2s8Vgh2nj4n7WbAaP3flHKTPsFFsCjwDXhijNRzP8S9E1M/s1600/foundation+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qw5KuqbFYZrBFy9cCOkO8rCYQpy-gliLitxJQXn4nUAptOIvlYYp5zo1RWSUhR8sFs2B1lJdnv9auo3hSS4BTGU5qD1CJ2s8Vgh2nj4n7WbAaP3flHKTPsFFsCjwDXhijNRzP8S9E1M/s320/foundation+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630782735408839074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg976_3HC87yKKIjiPUq1L4Eaa9DbTzigbT2ZBH9uBu7-WVtxVyLZchvRfbl9UiCEGMRIyE2FEcxQOerUy080i4HLSJGsT_KCrbb33zeADw1v-tnfvRhSwpKl9u3TxqHdCMZ9cw-8ZXn9w/s1600/foundation+and+brush+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg976_3HC87yKKIjiPUq1L4Eaa9DbTzigbT2ZBH9uBu7-WVtxVyLZchvRfbl9UiCEGMRIyE2FEcxQOerUy080i4HLSJGsT_KCrbb33zeADw1v-tnfvRhSwpKl9u3TxqHdCMZ9cw-8ZXn9w/s320/foundation+and+brush+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630782891848552402" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Per the description on QVC, the foundation balances and neutralizes your complexion, absorbing any oily areas, and helping to reduce any dry areas. By using the brush, you will achieve an airbrushed finish. A very important benefit, for me and many others, is that it has SPF 15. I have tried many foundations with SPF, but for one reason or another, I didn't care for them. I am extremely happy that my search is over.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZrH2WmpnZ8PkQZUPh5kInE-lrw82peZ1RkDdTkq7X9DlYwIi4A3NnRc6qFudoqW3XqtOtd3nLLkG1P5jNdaZ67Lmf4npdO-xMWnyDwVkZIq0ot1q6k7qN-e3wswiZBISdSvAF_ugOVxc/s1600/Amy+on+the+hudson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZrH2WmpnZ8PkQZUPh5kInE-lrw82peZ1RkDdTkq7X9DlYwIi4A3NnRc6qFudoqW3XqtOtd3nLLkG1P5jNdaZ67Lmf4npdO-xMWnyDwVkZIq0ot1q6k7qN-e3wswiZBISdSvAF_ugOVxc/s320/Amy+on+the+hudson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630790331583283618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmLAakbMpM4W6Of_an19acB-XdzKaAFX0NbGUSs4wOiW6AEbRVoqa2d1ZWapCT-SRuGhVhGHxssXGjotHP46kiajf2VEdi5HArBFeTV4u19l7SVi9swKBbZFpda-MLbY3wngAfdPpEYY/s1600/eyes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmLAakbMpM4W6Of_an19acB-XdzKaAFX0NbGUSs4wOiW6AEbRVoqa2d1ZWapCT-SRuGhVhGHxssXGjotHP46kiajf2VEdi5HArBFeTV4u19l7SVi9swKBbZFpda-MLbY3wngAfdPpEYY/s320/eyes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630847895581272226" border="0" /></a><br />Jason and I spent the afternoon at the <a href="http://themorristowngreen.org/" target="_blank">Morristown Green</a> in Morristown, NJ.

It means SO much, especially this being a baby blog.<br /><br />Now to the good stuff, talking about our favorite topic...MAKEUP! I get so gitty just hearing the words "makeup", "beauty", "beauty products", & "skincare" :)<br /><br />Originally, this post was going to be called "2 Newest Tarte Products." The reason I changed it to "3" is because I got in the mail yesterday, from an awesome friend (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) the <a href="http://www.qvc.com/tarte-Amazonian-Clay-Full-Coverage-Foundation-SPF-15-w/Brush-Face-Makeup-Beauty.product.A216501.html?sc=A216501-DRIL&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-3-_-A216501&SC_Id=User">Tarte Amazonian Clay Full-Coverage Foundation SPF 15 w/ Brush</a>. Because I haven't tried it yet (I already had makeup on & was running out the door) it will not be included in this post. But you better believe I will be doing a separate post on it. Some of you may be shocked, those who know that I'm a Tarte fanatic, that I'm JUST getting this foundation. The reason I did not order it when it first aired, is because my preference is sheer to light coverage. But after reading ALL of the reviews on QVC, how it's almost always sold out on QVC, beauty blogger reviews, I caved. I caved at an awesome time, when it was the One Time Value (OTO) on QVC Friday Night Beauty on July 1st, right before Tarte's Today's Special Value (TSV) <a href="http://www.qvc.com/tarte-Glow-Your-Way-To-Gorgeous-8-pc-Maracuja-&-Clay-Collection-Beauty.product.A217165.html?sc=A217165-DRIL&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-3-_-A217165&SC_Id=User">Glow Your Way to Gorgeous kit</a> on July 2, which by the way I have not received yet, but that's a whole other story. I waited too long and now I'm on waitlist. Even though it will be late, I will definitely be doing a review as well.<br /><br />So back to the OTO, which consisted of the foundation, the AWESOME foundation brush & and a full size Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Balancing Powder, all for just $38.02!! I can't tell you what an incredible deal this was. Just the foundation with the brush is $34.56. The powder is $25.46. Do I need to say anymore? If anyone is interested in the <a href="http://www.qvc.com/tarte-Amazonian-Clay-Airbrushed-Skin-Complexion-Duo-w/-Deluxe-Brush-Face-Makeup-Beauty.product.A218577.html?sc=A218577-DRIL&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-22-_-A218577&SC_Id=User">Amazonian Clay Airbrushed Skin Complexion Duo w/ Deluxe Brush</a> it is available on QVC for $41.82.<br /><br />If anyone does not have the <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-smooth-operator-Amazonian-clay-finishing-powder-bronze">Smooth Operator Amazonian clay finishing powder in bronze</a> GO GET IT! I was hesitant at first because it seemed weird to put bronzer on all over the face, like you do with a finishing powder. However, Kimberly Lutes, a great friend & Tarte lover as well, BIG TIME talked me into it. As opposed to your typical bronzers, where you either use the "E" application, or contour, where you make a fishy face, this gives you a beautiful, all over sun-kissed glow with a matte finish. Many people, like myself, don't care for shimmer bronzers. Don't get me wrong, I love shimmer, getting dressed up for going out at night, but if you are looking for a natural glow, then this is for you. And like the original Smooth Operator micronized clay finishing powder, it balances out your skin, mattifying oily areas and, at the same time, hydrating areas that might be dry.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFDFU2xuFxOSeO2YrFZG3jMzxVrUjavtBrQw2FfWlOz3vAHhAZJOAm26rwZ8qR_dbqN2U-wIPR1moLXqRLs2sGNgRFMMstMOlnC1ysLHIJeKqCwI3-t0Xe4rep_QiAPq9umUrCSVivEyU/s1600/tarte+HD+finishing+bronzer.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629067768994884098" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFDFU2xuFxOSeO2YrFZG3jMzxVrUjavtBrQw2FfWlOz3vAHhAZJOAm26rwZ8qR_dbqN2U-wIPR1moLXqRLs2sGNgRFMMstMOlnC1ysLHIJeKqCwI3-t0Xe4rep_QiAPq9umUrCSVivEyU/s320/tarte+HD+finishing+bronzer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjSBqLc_uBUCrX4-EkfcEgEhCegyrkX0OaNsatp0Se9LTj-ZKHVjS7pWmqP-KGfohpswIXlFzq_R-5gbBJNjPP9oDuNL579Xlt9L5sQJFhModP9kRPBglmy31Qzxdx08-tpNC8t6XH0s/s1600/brush+with+HD+bronzer.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629067968674650162" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjSBqLc_uBUCrX4-EkfcEgEhCegyrkX0OaNsatp0Se9LTj-ZKHVjS7pWmqP-KGfohpswIXlFzq_R-5gbBJNjPP9oDuNL579Xlt9L5sQJFhModP9kRPBglmy31Qzxdx08-tpNC8t6XH0s/s320/brush+with+HD+bronzer.jpg" border="0" /><br /></a><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSjSBqLc_uBUCrX4-EkfcEgEhCegyrkX0OaNsatp0Se9LTj-ZKHVjS7pWmqP-KGfohpswIXlFzq_R-5gbBJNjPP9oDuNL579Xlt9L5sQJFhModP9kRPBglmy31Qzxdx08-tpNC8t6XH0s/s1600/brush+with+HD+bronzer.jpg"><br /><br />Available at </a><a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-smooth-operator-Amazonian-clay-finishing-powder-bronze">Tartecosmetics.com</a>, <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P286313&categoryId=C12001">Sephora</a>, <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3330169">Ulta </a>and QVC.

Yesterday afternoon, while getting ready to go out for my husband's birthday, I used my current 3 favorite <a href="http://www.laurageller.com/">Laura Geller</a> products, one of them being the Baked Eye Elements from her most recent <a href="http://www.qvc.com/Laura-Geller-The-Lightness-of-Beauty-6-piece-Color-Collection-Beauty.product.A215552.html?sc=A215552-DRIL&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-6-_-A215552&SC_Id=User">Today's Special Value (TSV) on QVC</a>, on June 18th.

One half has 3 beautiful amethyst shadows, eggplant, shimmering lavendar & charcoal-purple. The other side is the most gorgeous peachy/pink highlighter. Talk about ALOT OF product! You can use the shadows either wet or dry (this goes for all of her baked shadows). I prefer using them wet. The pigment and color pay off is so much more vibrant.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRBMgwlVjqc7Vj30VK0MfIB8fdQKyOj3baz9RVC7qRlx8l3NOeDfG7Ud6cthMF2616VEvEcVLrOuVRC8p53Rah1Vct7lvb1EywpVQHMLeQ2Uq1QVReXC_fk3-s6l_oLd_ms0cWeivS6Y/s1600/balance+n+brighten+bottom+showing.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627907986293188994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRBMgwlVjqc7Vj30VK0MfIB8fdQKyOj3baz9RVC7qRlx8l3NOeDfG7Ud6cthMF2616VEvEcVLrOuVRC8p53Rah1Vct7lvb1EywpVQHMLeQ2Uq1QVReXC_fk3-s6l_oLd_ms0cWeivS6Y/s320/balance+n+brighten+bottom+showing.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I decided to purchase <a href="http://www.laurageller.com/store/face-baked-collection/products/balance-n-brighten-with-brush">Laura Geller's Balance 'n' Brighten Baked Color Perfecting Foundation</a> early spring of last year, because I knew I needed a foundation that would help mattify my gross oily skin in the summer. Because it's not just one color, it self adjusts to your skin tone. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOGFAdGv-HAAYzKmMSt-J1CksxbaKFjo3SAHgvq0-R9BE4dGsGQwFDIQ6VtgmgL12U_k6DORr_usBejKmegDHlwjX2NKhktmTh3oFo_HhWyPfdbAn_pQrLTsuCks03ET9b69at5XhZ-Q/s1600/open+of+pink+grapefruit.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627908397293575762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOGFAdGv-HAAYzKmMSt-J1CksxbaKFjo3SAHgvq0-R9BE4dGsGQwFDIQ6VtgmgL12U_k6DORr_usBejKmegDHlwjX2NKhktmTh3oFo_HhWyPfdbAn_pQrLTsuCks03ET9b69at5XhZ-Q/s320/open+of+pink+grapefruit.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Last, but definitely not least, we have one of my favorite blushes, <a href="http://www.qvc.com/Laura-Geller-Pink-Grapefruit-Baked-Blush-N-Brighten-&-Brush-Search-Results.product.A81948.html?sc=A81948-SRCH&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-1-_-A81948">Pink Grapefruit Blush 'n' Brighten</a>.

It's my hubby's bday today so we are going out to dinner with my inlaws tomorrow night. We are going to <a href="http://www.kleinsfish.com/">Klein's Fish Market</a> in Belmar, NJ. If any of you love seafood, live in NJ, and enjoy the Jersey Shore, you should definitely check it out. Great food and affordable prices.<br /><br />I was at Sephora yesterday (my home away from home) and absolutely LOVED one of the makeup artist's eye makeup. I have never seen a smokey with played up with yellow & golden shadows. I had to take a picture of her and get all the product details to share with you, and of course my wishlist that much longer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlh58gPijLn7Zda5iZ4RXu2DhUT9HA0hOrxf33jKsC9LEbdDx4Z1XwJBcx4QJgIMNH9bs5H4wg1zodXgO-usn29Kdv3ji1eAUtk8xv7A7IHqklPjKIWf11CxNUpE8c2sqeG9WAKOgItBo/s1600/IMG_1596.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627187909967696626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlh58gPijLn7Zda5iZ4RXu2DhUT9HA0hOrxf33jKsC9LEbdDx4Z1XwJBcx4QJgIMNH9bs5H4wg1zodXgO-usn29Kdv3ji1eAUtk8xv7A7IHqklPjKIWf11CxNUpE8c2sqeG9WAKOgItBo/s320/IMG_1596.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjugmyPdJlFbE0HV8Bago12fCHLQnhboS1Zo7n1lv9d18ze1WLQbkFuXk8PeikUvsU0Vb64-Ov5SLq_674xBdEqAB55yUCOJFpWJDdtHjDylBUQ2thATGvpbzXzO_o7A7LucFhyxflxU/s1600/IMG_1597.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627188041214757698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjugmyPdJlFbE0HV8Bago12fCHLQnhboS1Zo7n1lv9d18ze1WLQbkFuXk8PeikUvsU0Vb64-Ov5SLq_674xBdEqAB55yUCOJFpWJDdtHjDylBUQ2thATGvpbzXzO_o7A7LucFhyxflxU/s320/IMG_1597.JPG" /></a><br /><br />FACE: <br />Laura Mercier secret concealer #3<br />Laura Mercier silk creme foundation in "cashew beige"<br />Laura Mercier loose setting powder<br />Benefit "hoola" bronzing powder<br />Benefit "coralista" blush<br />Lorac blush in "desire", for a little pop on the cheeks<br /><br />EYES:<br />Lorac behind the scenes eye primer<br />Makeupforever eyeshadow in #10, a yellow gold shimmer.

The entire time I was playing with Lucy, a huge girly girl, while Jason was hanging out with Sophie, who's wat at the opposite end of the spectrum. They were playing Wii and video games while Lucy and I were beautifying ourselves.<br /><br />Friday night we both did our makeup. Lucy told me she had a big party to go to and wanted an all glammed up look, and requested glitter. I wish I brought my <a href="http://litcosmetics.com/">Lit Cosmetics</a> bag of goodies that I got at The Makeup Show. Oh well. I still had a couple of glitter products.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKNzq1oquhD3ZdNeSnNkYy4Kb9uojcu416z7IWtapQUwKa5P_atg6juvV189JcIRxq9e4dPIqiWFUCL4hhxzBzjS5LA0SiBwPUXxbFERNOlLKQLFUmAg5GR4og_fHQA4YLIU7nsq_t29U/s1600/lucy+fri+night+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKNzq1oquhD3ZdNeSnNkYy4Kb9uojcu416z7IWtapQUwKa5P_atg6juvV189JcIRxq9e4dPIqiWFUCL4hhxzBzjS5LA0SiBwPUXxbFERNOlLKQLFUmAg5GR4og_fHQA4YLIU7nsq_t29U/s320/lucy+fri+night+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625343134468887538" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_LaAmgXvXwbKxw6LFT1t7OEhMu9vsCTGETSikHeBhabj_4jF8uotyv0HfjLnF-5rPsO5HrzMkdZ8rDhXLMRQ2wllXX7G9QPrw66K3jhtSEkVgDj3B3i18GJdNTK5ok_441Ystdy76uQ/s1600/Lucy+fri+night.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_LaAmgXvXwbKxw6LFT1t7OEhMu9vsCTGETSikHeBhabj_4jF8uotyv0HfjLnF-5rPsO5HrzMkdZ8rDhXLMRQ2wllXX7G9QPrw66K3jhtSEkVgDj3B3i18GJdNTK5ok_441Ystdy76uQ/s320/Lucy+fri+night.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625343359008950194" /></a><br /><br />FOTN:<br /><br />Eyes:<br />Mally Beauty eye primer from my city chick smokey eye kit<br />Heidi Klum VS eye palette<br />Milani Infinite liquid eye liner in "endless"<br />Makeupforever aqua liner in 8, a gorgeous purple<br />Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liner in "distortion"<br />Makeupforever aqua eyes in 11L, purple, on bottom lashes<br />Tarte lights camera lashes mascara<br /><br />Face:<br />Motives blush in "lust"<br /><br />NO NEED FOR CONCEALER OR FOUNDATION.

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Things have not been going well for me in the job department. But I'm trying to stay positive.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>"Nurture your soul with positive thoughts and internal happiness will blossom before your eyes" ~ Melanie Moushigian~<br /></em></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period." Will Smith (Pursuit of Happiness)</em></div><br />Talking about jobs, this morning I called the <a href="http://stores.ulta.com/store/index.php?action=state&state=NJ&stores_number=123&zoom=2&latitude=40.80710863&longitude=-73.98861158">Ulta </a>store near me and found out they were hiring. I filled out the online application and went to the store late this afternoon to meet the hiring manager. I'm going to be following up with her on Monday. Now, does anyone think I was going to leave without playing? COME ON NOW! Surprise surprise, I have some more items on my wishlist.<br /><br />Ulta has an exclusive <a href="http://www.loraccosmetics.com/">Lorac</a> 10 eyeshadow palette called "Time to Shine." A great spring and summer palette. Unfortunately it is not listed on Ulta's website. You can see how gorg the colors are from this picture.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0agZx4Amau7car3f-2CcvcMdFLbyWt52CJy3AQUzqY6OJTeBvkus6gKLcQhlsbcAACTt_hIKXKeMbKQ7ptEFBLN6VLWszDAhCs2ov3Ha0Bcixa1jOaW9UDktZVhoedN01DT52VT7O0dw/s1600/Lorac+eye+palette+1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621579590418068354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0agZx4Amau7car3f-2CcvcMdFLbyWt52CJy3AQUzqY6OJTeBvkus6gKLcQhlsbcAACTt_hIKXKeMbKQ7ptEFBLN6VLWszDAhCs2ov3Ha0Bcixa1jOaW9UDktZVhoedN01DT52VT7O0dw/s320/Lorac+eye+palette+1.jpg" /></a><br />If any of you want this, which comes with a mini mascara, run to Ulta NOW!

I saw this in <a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P280404&categoryId=C11246">Sephora</a>, Ulta & on Lorac's website. when it first came out. On Sunday I saw <a href="http://www.makeupgeek.com/">MakeupGeek's </a>review and video called <a href="http://www.makeupgeek.com/articles-reviews/top-beach-products/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MakeupGeek+%28Makeup+Geek%29">Top Beach Products</a>. One of the products is the 3D Liquid Lustre, and WOW does it stay put. Put it on top of any color shadow and it makes the color pop and sparkle. You can also use as a highlighter on your cheeks and brow bone. I would have swatched on my hand, and taken a picture, but of course my phone died :(<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUGoiXrc2cOUxxoplfMGTBicGCP1usn5m_QFiGEyBv4pLeSd46PnOJBv7ho1agaLSNda_0-I1PukMoHh00obLnqpG4KjK4masehqUkwfqEPVdMeMtooynOOjpk8gMz23dCZqQuDueGQ8/s1600/lorac.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621599956391036466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYUGoiXrc2cOUxxoplfMGTBicGCP1usn5m_QFiGEyBv4pLeSd46PnOJBv7ho1agaLSNda_0-I1PukMoHh00obLnqpG4KjK4masehqUkwfqEPVdMeMtooynOOjpk8gMz23dCZqQuDueGQ8/s320/lorac.jpg" /></a><br />I have been on the hunt, for a long time, for a muted gloss when wearing a dark smokey eye.

(I'm actually a very picky person, but that's a whole other story). Well today the search has ended. I found a gorgeous creamy sheer nude plumy color by <a href="http://www.smashbox.com/PHOTO-FINISH-LIPSTICK-WITH-SILA-SILK-TECHNOLOGY">Smashbox </a>called "Flawless." This lipstick will be MINE very soon, I will make sure of that!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOUjJKVmqneP64rBnzZMAo-k4FZv3s95yeniV1Y1DJYVf5tTM2UAv8BQtizo8dw71pNKZfrdq6s0J6wHxIZ5crq4LawHTiSPlTdPBiP6vI0MP_4b6dzs2lFyZ7df9hmscYsDrIkUf1r8k/s1600/smashbox+flawless.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 295px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621624974425525202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOUjJKVmqneP64rBnzZMAo-k4FZv3s95yeniV1Y1DJYVf5tTM2UAv8BQtizo8dw71pNKZfrdq6s0J6wHxIZ5crq4LawHTiSPlTdPBiP6vI0MP_4b6dzs2lFyZ7df9hmscYsDrIkUf1r8k/s320/smashbox+flawless.bmp" /></a><br /><br />Last, but certainly not least, we have <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-smooth-operator-Amazonian-clay-finishing-powder-bronze">Tarte smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder in bronze</a>. I didn't buy it from QVC, when it first came out, because I was a bit skeptical about a bronzer being used as a finishing powder. I knew eventually it would be available at other stores for me to try. Today was my second time trying it. I wasn't too fond of it the first time. (I don't remember why). But after putting it on today, I LUV IT! I can't decide which I like more, this or my <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-park-ave-princess-matte-waterproof-bronzer">Park Avenue Princess Matte Bronzer</a>. As opposed to a few areas, my entire face had a NATURAL looking flawless tan!

I realize this should have been my first post, May 6 did come before May 15, when I attended the NYC Makeupshow (my first post), but again better late then never.<br /><br />I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Maureen Kelly, Tarte's CEO & Creator, at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml;jsessionid=FRUY25RYP55W2CV0KQLQ5UQ?brandId=Tarte">Sephora </a>in Herald Square, 34th Street & Broadway, in New York City, on Friday May 6. I have been a Tarte fanatic for the last year. I have known of <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/">Tarte Cosmetics</a> since the line came out in 1999. I love their Cheek Stain, my favorite being "Tipsy." My Tarte obsession started a little over a year ago when I started watching QVC Beauty. SUCH A DANGEROUS CHANNEL. So what is Tarte Cosmetics all about? Good question. Their motto is "High Performance Naturals." You will not find any of the "bad" stuff...only the "good" stuff. Their products are free of parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Check out Maureen Kelly's <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/welcome-letter.php">welcome letter</a> on Tarte's website for more details.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the pictures.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6n90N-rnfLJuAbeQwJBjBCQDeupS_sgrhWPHksCW_MsUmrhDRNYtch4-hPtooBbpygxlkKxYGnrsGsJ7AMt7w1jRmO3hNTTYpJouAUpVK4rhaua2HtT9pY4K3LceaM8DSpZCCiN3nYXY/s1600/maureen+kelly.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615641992452826370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6n90N-rnfLJuAbeQwJBjBCQDeupS_sgrhWPHksCW_MsUmrhDRNYtch4-hPtooBbpygxlkKxYGnrsGsJ7AMt7w1jRmO3hNTTYpJouAUpVK4rhaua2HtT9pY4K3LceaM8DSpZCCiN3nYXY/s320/maureen+kelly.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwyd2xskkUPscFO0T_28da64aSDyMKHXkreOjnFJUZO8tm4bZOSXgFJsT94jUuhWwZTV_K3f-PpAEhyphenhyphen96CglM-YQ6VspjSIRT32kBa8Njpy99sFMnnEDzgqt-FD_45MiNl-nYH-itbL8/s1600/maureen+kelly+and+me+3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615642365191867602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwyd2xskkUPscFO0T_28da64aSDyMKHXkreOjnFJUZO8tm4bZOSXgFJsT94jUuhWwZTV_K3f-PpAEhyphenhyphen96CglM-YQ6VspjSIRT32kBa8Njpy99sFMnnEDzgqt-FD_45MiNl-nYH-itbL8/s320/maureen+kelly+and+me+3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIoOPdTPrQRbpNGR5rTMY5P0ETWAy_bG1xFOc7aKT3amEY978qJpNjVHlCmIT6KlpkRbYET9y0zcS39F_ArN0wVG0_cjc9bUdeJK0i6pHAQj9D1RUuGZb6j_wFp03-uCXxkzG35E2sjVE/s1600/maureen+kelly+and+me.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615642493984645026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIoOPdTPrQRbpNGR5rTMY5P0ETWAy_bG1xFOc7aKT3amEY978qJpNjVHlCmIT6KlpkRbYET9y0zcS39F_ArN0wVG0_cjc9bUdeJK0i6pHAQj9D1RUuGZb6j_wFp03-uCXxkzG35E2sjVE/s320/maureen+kelly+and+me.jpg" /></a> </div>abbeautycallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07787893429854558377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245977353835517439.post-88702109160680980232011-05-30T21:56:00.263-04:002011-06-02T01:30:30.795-04:00NYC Make Up Show - Sunday May 15I know this is a bit late, but as they say, better late than never. Therefore, most of this post will be pictures, which I tried to put in the order of my time at the show.<br /><br />I had a spectacular time. Once I finished registering I remember seeing the massive room with SO many exhibitors and my mouth dropping. I was completely and utterly in my element. As some of you know only those in the industry can attend. So you are probably wondering how did I get to go. I saw information about the Makeup Show on facebook. When I saw it, I knew I absolutely HAD to go. Once I realized it was for those in the industry only, I called and asked if they were hiring. To work behind the scenes of a beauty event, especially one of this size, would be a dream come true. Unfortunately they were not hiring, however they were looking for volunteers. As long as I got 25 business cards by promoting to salons, makeup stores, spas, etc. I got to go for free.<br /><br /><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px;
