Beautylish Beauty Social Event Recap in Santa Monica 2011!

First off I want to say thank you to the Beautylish team not only for inviting me and my sister down to Santa Monica for the beauty social 2011.  But, for putting on an amazing event that was so much fun!  I'm such a horrible vlogger and was too amazed by all of the YouTubers and things going on to film/take pictures so here are the few pictures I took and I might do a short video with the footage I have?  Let me know!

 Kandee Johnson and her little cupcake that wanted to go to sleep :(

Another picture with Kandee :)

 The glitter tattoos that we got from Urban Decay.  BTW, Ally was beyond amazing!

 The decorations overall theme of the beauty social was so cute and amazing!

 Beauty Social!

 Located right next to the Santa Moncia beach!

 Watching Kandee's segment, she is so funny and genuine!

Nils and Kandee saying a good bye!

*****************************************************************************

We got an amazing goody bag at the end of the event, my sister's was a little bit better than mine so she ended up giving me some things that she wouldn't use.  Should I make a video of what was in the bag & overall experience of the beauty social?

Just wanted to say thank you again to Beautylish for inviting us to attend with them, I had a blast and will definitely be going to future events!

Jessie's Girl Baked Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

I am back into my blogging mode and I just finished editing my Jessie's Girl Cosmetics review & tutorial last night so I decided it would be easier to put the swatches on my blog so you can always reference back to them so here they are!

As you can see the baked palette is super pigmented and creamy, I definitely recommend!

Inglot Freedom System Setup & Swatches

I bought these INGLOT freedom system palettes from IMATS Pasadena 2011 and I've been using them everyday and I absolutely love them!  These are my first palettes from them so I decided to purchase a neutral & colorful palettes to test them out.  I'm so sad that there isn't a closer store to me but they do have a website you can purchase from !  http://www.inglotusa.com There prices are very affordable at such a professional level.

Watch the video for the exact colors as well :) I can't wait until I can get my hands on more & I want to try out more than just their eyeshadows too!



Let me know if you have any recommendations!

Help! Anyone good with websites?

I know the majority of beauty bloggers use blogger.com, but I also know that for more "advacned" or other blogging people like to use wordpress.com.  If any of you have a preference or use a certain one please let me know because I want to start a new blog :D

P.s. I made partner! Thank you guys soooooo much, I will be doing a giveaway soon and if any of you know how to make banners or anything like that PLEASE let me know because I made a simple one but can't figure out how to make clickable links on my banner or how to map it out. THANKS <3

Transitioning to my tumblr...

I know I know...I am really bad at updating my blog.  SO I found  a new alternative!  Follow my tumblr http://www.lifeasjenn.tumblr.com

I seriously update my tumblr at least twice a day with either pictures or just a quick post usually what people blog about but I am never really at home enough to just sit down and blog so I downloaded tumblr onto my ipad and phone so I literally update my tumblr so much now, I'm addicted!

SO what I've done is made my tumblr like my follow me around vlog type thing I show what I'm doing all day long and stuff like that and this blog is going to be more makeup related like what I take pictures for swatches and stuff like that so go follow my tumblr if you want to follow me around more :]

Time for a post....

My cousin is a growing photographer and loves to take pictures.  She wanted to go to a place where she had been thinking of taking pictures and I was up to be her little model (def not a model....this is my first time posing in front of a camera for someone).  So here are some pictures....and there are more to come follow me on tumblr : http://wwww.lifeasjenn.tumblr.com to see the rest and my daily follow me around vlog type stuff! So enough about me talking...here are some pictures!

OH and here is my cousins tumblr too if you want to see more of her photographer pictures too! http://www.blealow.tumblr.com

Let me know if you want to see more in the comments below!

Editing this..

About to edit this makeup tutorial....it's my go to smokey eye and my favorite one!  I use a bunch of different eyeshadows to create this look but whenever I have somewhere important to go to like an event or a dinner this is my smokey eye that I like to do because I know what shades I'm going to use and how it's going to turn out.  If I have somewhere important to go to I usually don't like to experiment with my makeup just in case it doesn't turn out the way I want because then I'll have to start all over again hahaah. Anyways, I'll post the video on here as soon as I upload it!

Revlon Skin Matching Makeup

Funny enough, I purchased this on accident thinking it was a tinted primer which I thought would have been really cool because I may not have to even wear foundation but what this really is, is even more amazing!  It comes out white with like little brown particles and once you blend it onto your face it matches your skin perfectly!  I seriously LOVE this stuff.  It is really lightweight on the skin and gives really good coverage for everyday without making it feel or look heavy.  I bought mine for around 11 dollars I think?  But, drugstores are always have bogos with revlon or sales so you can always wait for that!

Long time no talk...

What's up!! I really don't know why I haven't blogged in a long time, just no time I guess.  I just had a relaxing weekend with my boyfriend we went away for the weekend and if you want to see the aquarium trip we went on:


but now were back to reality with finals coming up boooo :[
I got him to film a couple videos with me so those will be up soon yay!  Let me know if you guys have any other requests I have TONS of videos to edit some are really old but once I edit them they will go up!  I just don't have time to sit there and watch it upload hah I wish it would just edit and upload itself within a minute!  I also have TONS of swatches to upload whenever I get the chance I think ill do some now...

And this is what I came up with:

Hope you found this helpful!

Swatches: Golden Goddess WNW Holiday Palette

Without Flash:

With Flash:

This was part of the Wet n Wild holiday limited edition palettes, I don't think you can get these anymore but they have a permanent palette that is very similar to this one!

Check your CVS NOWWW!

I might do a quick video sharing this super duper good deal at cvs going on but I thought I would share with my fellow bloggers first.

We all know cosmetics rarely go on sale and usually its a buy one get one 50 percent off but this is a rare sale that happens only a few times a year I found this sale out from nouveaucheap.blogspot.com and you can check out her blog for the full list of sale items.

Anywayssss I went to my cvs and basically the whole wall is marked 75 percent off! So cheap! I picked up a few items and ill probably go back for another peek at the items.

Let me know what you get!

DISCLAIMER: Everything was bought by me!

Swatches: Sugar Plum Fairy WNW Holiday Palettes

New obsession alert! Seriously, how did I not know or have any of the Wet N Wild eyeshadows before? I went to a few walgreens after hearing and seeing everyone want their holiday palettes I only found 3 of the 4 but I am SOOO in love! They're easy to blend out and they remind me of MAC eyeshadows where they are very creamy in a powdery sense. I think out of all of them the purple is my favorite because all 6 of the eyeshadows are in the purple theme.

I will be posting the other palettes after this as well.
Happy New Year!!
