I'm sorry...Did I Forget To MENTION???????

I got my 88 color PALETTE!!!!!!! How could I not have announced this, sung it's praises, done a tutorial????? Well the below picture is a result of using this wonderful palette and I am quite pleased. I for SURE recommend using a primer still, though the quality is far better than drugstore purchases. I used the oranges and browns today and can't WAIT to do purples and pinks for a more smoked out "punk" look. The ONLY thing I have to say and let me please note that this is not said in disappointment......they are really smaaaaaaaaall. I actually laughed when I opened them cuz they were so miniature and cute. My pygmy eye shadows as it were =). Aaaaanyhooooo, here is to fun with more upcoming tutorials and new products, products PRODUCTS!!!!!!

Sooooo Whadda Ya Think???

Had a lot of fun doing this look. I was strolling through Costco and saw an ad where a girls had some pink shadow on her lids and her upper cheek bone. I decided to use some other colors and not go down quite as much so it was still "daytime" approved and really liked it!!! I used some false lashes from Sally's (Ardell #305) and a single lash on the bottom for each eye. I had actually done a lot more green on the bottom and it RoCkEd...but like I said, I was going for a daytime look =). If you guys like it I can do a tutorial on this with other colors too!!! I really am back ladies. I have neglected this blog for waaaaaay too long!!!!!!

Thank you Cheysser!

Wow, I'm so out of it! I haven't posted in a long long long long long time and I really don't even wanna know how long it's been. I kinda feel bad neglecting my blog like this, but sometimes I'm just so busy I don't even have time to think. And I should be doing homework right now (I already wasted 2 days doing nothing!), but when you're not inspired to design, you're not inspired to design. Sigh~

I'd like to thank all my new followers, by the way. Wow, I logged in and poof, I had 175! Shocking.

Moving on, I'd really like to thank Cheysser for what she sent me! If you don't remember, I won her contest (well, 2nd place) a while back. I got her prizes finally. I was so happy that I skipped school that day cause the LBC guy came...lol!

I had to retake the pictures cause I transferred the ones I took the day they came and put them on my laptop. Which broke. LOL.

Of course some of the candies she sent me got eaten already. XD

She sent me a lot of Rimmel goodies and some ELF lippies. I also got candies and a notepad, and a NYX glitter cream palette.

Swatches of the two Rimmel Eye Twist duo liners and shadows. It scares me to use it, the weather here is so hot they got kinda melty! But I guess I just gotta be careful. :) This picture is w/o flash.


With flash.


Swatches of the two single e/s she sent me, and the quad. The green single e/s cracked in shipping! :( But it's okay, I saved it. The quad wasn't very pigmented but it's okay. This image is w/o flash.


With flash!

I was so excited to get this that I totally did an FOTD with it when I went to school later on (I only skipped my first class). :D

Again, thanks so much, Cheysser!! I loved the candies you sent, too. Yummy.

Okay, I have a backlog of stuff to post about now...but this is it for now. Tomorrow is my ELF haul! :) Gosh, I missed this and I feel so behind! How is everyone?

Friends From the Start...Yeah, We Met In Sephora

Can you believe it? Two posts in a row??? I am trying hard to make up (no pun intended) for lost time!!!!! So anyway, whilst shopping today at the ever so amazing Sephora (I had a wedding that day to shop for) I ran into Kelly. She is my new friend. I really don't know how it started but I was there, she was there and before you knew it she was putting lip gloss on her hand and having me smell it. We were picking up everything Stilla and testing it. She was giving me tips on all of her "time tested" products and I was just LoViNg being in her company. She said that her husband had just come to terms with the fact that his wife has an obsession with makeup and they have had a long marriage because of it =). I was so blown away with how many things she had tried and how in tune she was with what makeup should be, how it should work that I gave her my business card and asked her to be a guest blogger here on Classy Cosmetics. I was thinking it could be Kelly's Korner (I know how to really spell it, it just didn't look as cute) and she can have fabulous reviews on all of her finds and do some Q&A. Truthfully I was VeRy surprised she didn't have her own blog already. I look forward to her first post and can't wait to introduce her to all of you!!! Cheers to makeup and being a girl eh???

The Search Is OVER....for me anyway =)

(singing voice) IIIIIII ammmm iiiiin LOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!! The search is over for me ladies!!!!The ultimate mascara, the one, the real deal (the expensive) mascara I've always DrEaMeD of!!!!! So first things first....I got my Eyelashes PERMED!!! What you ask? P-E-R-M-E-D. You heard it right. For about 45 minutes I was able to nap (miracle in and of itself) while lazily lounging in a fabulous chair while ladies ever now and then put some solution on my eyes. It was $20 bucks and will last about 2 1/2-3 months!!!! Isn't that AwEsOmE?????

Well, back to the mascara. It doesn't say much on the tube and they do have a few at the Chanel counter...don't you just LOVE saying Chanel???? I do ; ). But it is the one and ONLY mascara that has this phenomenal wand. Notice the bristles, notice the comb. I even was using a trial size f this in a tutorial and WOW I couldn't live without it. I will for SURE post some pictures of my eyes with it soon when I have a reasonably good camera...ours broke at the beach...I am SO handicapped when it comes to electronics which a whole other story. $30 for this miracle tube but if you are up for the splurge DO IT!!!!

When applying the directions say to "swirl" it in your hand so that the lashes get the bristle-comb-bristle-comb action going on and it is remarkably easier than I thought it would be. Again, I do NOT endorse things that I haven't tried and tested nor things that are way too pricey unless it works like this!!!!! LOOOOOVE IIIIIT!!!!!!!

Beauty Review: Prescriptives “Good in Bed”

Interested in a “quickie” to fix your tired, dry or blotchy skin? Try Prescriptives Good in Bed Skin Restoring Night Moisturizer. I am pretty shocked and amazed with the results of using this night cream after only one night of testing. I noticed the next morning that my skin looked radiant and glowing and my skin tone looked even. It really did give me the “morning after” glow that it claimed it would do. This cream is very rich in texture and deeply hydrates and moisturizes your skin. This is especially great for dry skin. I also like that it is non acnegenic because my skin is prone to breakouts every now and then. I’ve been using this product already for a whole week and am very satisfied with what I see.

Although my skin is a huge fan of this product, my nose is not. There are subtle self tanners in it and you’ll notice that in the smell. I wish the scent of the DHA (found in self tanners) was masked a little better so that every time I put it on I wouldn’t have to hold my breath. I guess that would be my only complaint. Other than that, I am completely satisfied with the results. A night cream worth investing in!

Prescriptives Good in Bed retails for $65 USD/$90 CD
