Mystic Tan. To Spray or Not To Spray.

Ok, I know I’m supposed to be the expert here, but I need a little help.  I have this Mardi Gras Ball coming up very soon, and well, my skin is so pale that you can practically see through it.  I plan to wear a strapless dress.  It’s a grey dress which won’t do much against my vampire-like skin.

I’m a big fan of how I look with a little glow, nothing overdone, just a little color.  My mom always said that tan fat was better than pale fat (oh yeah, welcome to my world) – and well, I don’t consider myself fat in the least, but people, c’mon – I’ve had a baby.  Wait, better yet, I should say I’ve had a baby and my name is not Camila Alves or Heidi Klum.  There are parts of me that will just look better with a tan.

Don’t worry, I’m fanatical about doing everything in my power to prevent wrinkles and sun damage, so I know better than to lay in a tanning bed for a few weeks.  Instead, I think it will be best to spray a bunch of chemicals on my skin.  That’s gotta be better, right?

But, um.  I’m skeered.  What if it turns me orange?!  The oompa-loompa look is not good on me.  How do I know what level to choose?  What if I go from looking very French to looking very Italian in about 20 minutes flat?  That’s gonna be awkward, right?

Have you done this?  Tips/tricks/suggestions for me?

Beauty Steals

First off, I just had to share that this awesome gift set from The Body Shop is on sale for a mere $8.  That is down from 40 bucks, so if you need a gift for someone this would be a great buy.  Or grab a couple and keep ‘em in the closet for those “ohmygosh I forgot it was her birthday today” days.

Loving, LOVING these these new Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadows from Bobbi Brown Makeup.  Perfect for fall, they go on smooth and just look incredible.  You can snatch these up for $22 a pop.  (PS — use code Eyes66 and get a free eyeshadow wash on orders over $65!)

Oooh, and get a free 6 oz. Hot Salt Scrub when you buy Bliss’ awesome (AWESOME, seriously awesome) Body Butter.  Start with the scrub and finish with the lotion and you will have skin that is smoother than a baby’s bum.

Feel Like A Natural Woman

Hello.  My name is Erika and I’m addicted to buying and trying beauty products.

Hiiii, Errrikkkkaaaaa.

It’s true.  I don’t care if it is from Macy’s or Walgreen’s – I’ve tried almost every beauty product I can get my hands on.  When I discovered that I was pregnant with Little AG I suddenly realized that I had been largely slacking in one beauty product area – organic and natural makeup and skincare.  Being pregnant suddenly made me extremely aware of every single product I applied to my body, including things like sunscreen, makeup, toothpaste, and body lotion.  I spent hours using the internet to research every possible danger associated with every single product that I currently used – and it was then that my family forbade me from continuing to google information about beauty products on the internet.

They were all — um, crazy chick…step away from the laptop.  And I was all — must.do.more.googling!  After a brief intervention, they won.  It was a bit obsessive, I suppose.

So, in the absence of Google I turned to my two younger sisters, who had been using natural beauty products for quite a while, to help me figure out ways to incorporate organic and natural beauty and skincare products into my routine.  They pointed me in the direction of some fantastic products for both myself and for my then-still-a-peanut-sized daughter.  If you’ve ever found yourself wondering about these products but not really sure where to start – check out some of the awesome products I’ve suggested for you below, compiled with the help of my sister Dawn.  Most of these products aren’t completely organic, but they are all formulated without parabens and  without sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates.  Both of these have the ability to pass through the skin and to build up in the tissues of your body.  Yech.

1. Can You C Me? A makeup remover for both your visage and peepers, it combines organic carrot juice, minerals, and Dead Sea Mud and leaves my face feeling smooth and refreshed (isn’t it funny that mud makes my face feel refreshed?).  As a bonus – one of the ingredients is Aloe Vera so that it won’t irritate those pretty peepers, and will actually soothe tired eyes.

2.    Burt’s Bees Lemon and Vitamin E Bath and Body Oil – For an intensive moisturizing treatment, add some of this to a bath or apply it directly onto your skin.  After the birth of Little AG I used Vitamin E oil religiously after exfoliating, and it rid my tummy body of all of those pesky pregnancy stretchmarks.

3.  Pacifica “Mexican Cocoa” Solid Perfume – My sister Dawn let me try this stuff at the beach a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say that it’s true – good things absolutely come in small packages!  This delicious smelling perfume is created with organic wax and all-natural oils.  I would have never thought smelling like cocoa would be sexy, but I’ve gotta tell ya, dabbing a bit of this solid perfume behind my ears did not make me feel like a walking chocolate cake.  Bonus:  since it’s tiny, you can slip it in your evening bag or clutch and freshen up throughout the evening!

4.  Alba Sport Sunscreen SPF 30+ – Wearing sunscreen everyday is one of the most important things that you can do to combat aging – so next time you are in the market for more, try out this awesome broad-spectrum sunscreen.  This sunscreen is infused with all sorts of delish ingredients, including lavender, green tea, and aloe vera.

5.  Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Creme – Along with sunscreen, moisturizer is a product that should be used daily to fight off signs of aging, so why not give this one, with 134 different nutrients to nourish and protect your skin, a try?  Use it daily to help diminish the apperance of fine lines and keep your skin glowing.

Tea Tree Skin Care from The Body Shop {Giveaway CLOSED}

I have been shopping at The Body Shop for over 10 years now — my nose won’t let my body pass one of those awesome stores by without going in!  I discovered the Body Shop back when I was in high school when I began using their tea tree products that help prevent and control breakouts and blemishes. I used the line for years, so I was really excited to hear that they had revamped their their Tea Tree line – reformulating some existing products and adding new ones to create an entire skin care regime.

All of the products are now paraben & phthalate free – which is great news for anyone trying to be a bit more “green”.  (And a smart move, in my humble opinion!)  The line now includes products to prevent blemishes and breakouts, treat existing blemishes, and control oil and shine.  The products are formulated to not be too harsh or to overdry your skin, while still being effective.

Win It! To celebrate the relaunch of their new line, The Body Shop is offering 2 Chic Shopper Chick readers a prize package that includes all of the products that you see above ($115 value).  To enter to win, click on over to The Body Shop’s website and then come back here and tell me which one of their born-again Tea Tree products you would most love to try.  Leave a comment here, and stumble, subscribe, tweet (button at the top!) or blog about this contest with a link back here for additional entries. This contest ends August 20st, 2009 (ooh, on my birthday!). US entries only, must be 18 or older to enter, no purchase necessary to win.

Summer Trend – Neon Nails

As particular as I am about clothes and makeup, I seem to neglect my fingernails.  I mean, I keep them well groomed, but I’m never very adventurous when it comes to nail color. A swipe of OPI’s Natural Nail Strengthener every other day, and I’m set!  This summer, I’ve made it a point to bring a splash of color into my world (and my nails)!  Neon colors were all the rage on the runways, and he neon trend is still, well, trending.   From colors that are vaguely reminiscent of highlighters to bold purples and blues, neon on your nails is now! Check out some of my suggestions below!

Check out these two colors from one of my all time faves, Essie.  On the left is Perky Purple, and on the right is Funky Limelight (think yellow highlighter!).  Both colors will have you staring after your hands as you gesture!  $8 a pop!

I like this hot hot pink color from Zoya, called Layla.  I love Zoya polish because they are a non-toxic option and they have incredibly long wear! $6 a pop!

Another of my favorite polishes, that I discovered in the UK, is difficult to find here, but a fabulous line.  Pop Beauty makes this awesome line of nail polish (they sell the makeup at Sephora but not the nail polish!) that goes on more like paint than polish!  Very few bubbles, and no streaky look, but even better are the cool colors it comes in.  Check out Turquoise and Mandarin, both pictured above.  $14 a pop.

Wiggle It, Just a Little Bit! {Giveaway CLOSED}

If you’re a loyal reader (thank you!) then you know I am obsessed in love with almost any and all beauty products.  I’ve mentioned it on Feel Good Fashion and here on Chic Shopper Chick several times, but my one true obsession love is mascara.  I currently have 3 different tubes of it in my makeup bag, and I’m not a bit too happy since I came down with pink eye on Monday and now need to throw them ALL out.  If you’re a beauty fanatic like I am, you are probably aware of the high-end mascaras that have come out with vibrating varities in the past year or so.  However, to date, there has been no “drugstore” version available.

My favorite mascara EVER was actually Maybelline’s Illegal Lengths mascara with a curved brush, but for some (*gasp*) unknown reason to me, Maybelline discontinued it. To make it up to me Thanks to my role as one of Walmart’s ElevenMoms, I was able to try out Maybelline Pulse Perfection (their new vibrating mascara) before it ever even hit shelves (can you tell I felt kinda cool?)   According to Maybelline, Pulse Perfection delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute in 7 synchronized actions so lashes are transformed to perfection.  Ok, so I know what you’re thinking “… hmm … why do I need vibrating mascara?”.  My friend, you have come to the right place, because I have my own personal opinion on the matter!  You see, I was taught to apply mascara starting at the base of my lashes, wiggling the brush back and forth until I reach the tips of my lashes.  This helps distribute the product at the base (which gives your eyes a much more defined look) and just gives you better distribution of the mascara all around.  Pulse Perfection takes the wiggling work out of your mascara routine for you!

Ok, so for the big question…does it work?  My answer is YES!  I plan to make you a video to show you how much I actually really like it, but alas, I have pink eye, and that video?  Well, it would be not-so-hot.  So, when I’m looking a little less…erm…pink around the eyes…I’ll make a video to show you why I like this product.  However, in the meantime, here is my take on it!  The vibrating takes a little getting used to for first time users (or the klutzy variety, as in my case) but it allows the mascara to go on quickly and nice and thick.  Quick is definitely a plus for those 5 minute beauty routines!  It elongates and thickens my lashes without a doubt, and I really like the way it looks.  My only caveat:  apply your second coat of this mascara before the first one is completely dry.  I waited for them to dry the first time around and ended up with spider lashes.  And as my friend Jillian would say, “nobody likes spider lashes!”.  However, when you apply both coats after the other, the result is among the best I’ve gotten from any mascara on the market.

This product is not out in stores yet (this is, again, where I feel really cool for getting a sneak preview), but you can find it nationwide starting on May 28th for $14.95. Until then, you can purchase it exclusively from Walmart.com for $12.95.  Honestly, I know that $15 for Maybelline mascara seems like a lot, but when you consider that other brands cost up to 3 times as much, plus you can grab it for $13 online?  Well, I think it’s really a heck of a deal.

Would you like a chance to try out Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara before the masses as well?  Thanks to Maybelline I have two tubes of it to giveaway to two very lucky Chic Shopper Chick readers!  To enter to win, leave a comment here telling me what beauty product you just cannot live without!  After your initial comment, every other (pertinent) comment left on this site on other posts from now through May 28th will count as an extra entry each.  You don’t need to come back to this post and tell me you commented on another post, I can stalk track you via your email/IP address.   As usual, the following extra entries are also available:   blog this contest with a link back to this contest, stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, tweeting about this contest, following me on Twitter.  That’s a ton of ways to win, so good luck! http://bit.ly/12IiYz

Nankeen – Art You Can Wear! {Giveaway CLOSED}

I going to have to clean out one of the closets in my house.  We have a huge closet in the hallway that is supposed to serve as a “linen” closet.  And it does, I suppose.  It holds the plethora of air matresses, quilts, comforters, blankets, and lace tablecloths (gifts, never used.  I’m waiting until I’m at least 85) that we NEVER use.  Really, I could have one extra set of sheets for each bed and then a couple of quilts for company, and STILL only take up the top shelf.  I mean, I probably wouldn’t NEED to clean it out if I didn’t need room to store all of my bags.  Not that all of my posts on handbags, purses, and totes (oh my!) didn’t clue you in… but I’m slightly obsessed.  It’s reached the point where I’m running out of room to put them all.

It’s not often that I can purchase a product that I love and also support the arts at the same time.  Scratching your head yet?  Nankeen creates stylish bags, pillows, ties, cosmetic bags, and other accessories that are created from 100% cotton and indigo dye using a technique that dates back to the Song Dynasty over three-thousand years ago.  It is literally an ancient art form turned into modern design.  The white sections that you see on the bag are created by pushing a paste made of soya bean flour and slaked lime through a handmade stencil.  Once the paste dries, the fabric is dipped into indigo until the desired color is acheived.  Once the fabric is dry, the paste is scraped off to reveal the white designs.  The fabric is then washed and ironed before it is used to create the bags and other products that you see here.

I was able to review the Lily Tote, which I absolutely fell in love with.  It is sturdy but roomy, and I love the bright pink interior.  The jumbo knot serves as a hook to close the top, but still leave it open enough for things to stick out of it, should that need arise.  For instance, on a recent flight home, my bag was 11 pounds over the limit.  I had filled my Lily Tote with my laptop, a sweater, some books and a magazine, but then I was forced to put additional inventory in it.  So I walked through the airport in a sweater with two coats on top, holding my Lily Tote that now had bright pink ballet flats, jeans, and a hairdryer (in addition to the aforementioned items) sticking out of the sides.  Thank goodness for that knot closure!

Win it! The folks over at Nankeen have graciously offered to give away a tote bag of the winners choice to a very lucky CSC reader (a $130 value)!  To enter to win, leave a comment below with which tote you would choose if you were to win!  Something more than “I wanna win the Lily Tote” is necessary, effort is appreciated.  After your initial comment, every other (pertinent) comment left on this site on other posts from now through April 18th will count as an extra entry each.  You don’t need to come back to this post and tell me you commented on another post, I can stalk track you via your email/IP address.   As usual, extra entries are also available for stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, listening to the Feel Good Fashion radio show on Friday nights at 9pm EST/8pm CST, following me on Twitter, and blogging about this giveaway with a link back here.  That’s it, so good luck!

BONUS!!! BONUS!!! BONUS!!! BONUS!!! Tomorrow night on Feel Good Fashion we will also be giving away a Nankeen Cosmetic Bag.  The winner MUST be listening live to our show at 9pm EST (8pm CST).  Even if you don’t win the bag on the show tomorrow night, listening to our show will qualify you for an extra entry for the bag.  Make sure if you listen to come back and leave a comment so that I can verify that you were there!

Fashion is Life!

I had an incredible week at SXSW Interactive (a huge shout out to Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas for sponsoring me!) hanging out with some of my closest friends, and meeting lots and lots of new ones.  I learned a ton, and did I mention that I had a blast?  Cause I totally did. There will be lots of posts coming at you this week, as I need to buckle down and refocus/recover, but in the meantime I wanted to do a quick post to tell you that I am still alive, and also to share with you my epiphany of the week.  Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Ok, here it goes…

I realized this week that I am a fashion/style/beauty girl at heart.  It’s my passion, it’s what I love, and it’s how I thrive.  So I’m going to start trying to incorporate even more of those things into Chic Shopper Chick.  I’m ready, I’m excited, and I’m pumped up about it.

What do you think?  Share your thoughts with me in the comments!

Your Best Face Forward! {Giveaway CLOSED}

When I was 16 years old, everyone thought I was so much older than I actually was.  People made comments about it all the time (“Oh my GOODNESS you’re ONLY 16?!  Wow, are your parents in trouble!”), and occasionally men in their late 20′s would ask me on dates or worse, make inappropriate comments to me or in my direction.  My mom, being the good mom that she is, would shoot them dirty looks, quickly usher me away, and tell them in a growling voice, “she’s only 16!”.  Naturally, I didn’t mind looking older than I was at 16, because it worked to my advantage! (And, since my mom is BOUND to read this, we’ll leave that at that. Ahem.)

Somewhere around hitting 21 years old, everything changed, and suddenly people started thinking I was much younger than I actually was.  I remember being asked for ID while buying a lottery ticket (WHAT?  Somebody’s gotta win, right?!), which simultaneously surprised and irritated me since I had been able to buy lottery tickets for 3 years at that point.  It got progressively worse, at 22 years old people would ask me if I had considered where I was going for college yet – though in actuality I was a college senior and newly married.   At 24 years old and 8 months pregnant, I had several different instances where people looked at my belly in shock and horror and flat out asked “How OLD are you?!”  (My response?  “You first!!  How old are YOU?” with a sweet smile that told them to BUTT OUT.)

So, it seems the gods of aging or anti-aging have smiled upon me for most of my young adult life.  I’m not silly enough to think this will go on forever though, nuh uh.  I’m doing my part to take care of my skin and body so that I can prepare for the years ahead of me with a fanatical beauty routine that focuses heavily on skincare.  There is a new product on the market called Tripeptinon – a small capsule of liquid that combines 17 amino acids to address your skin’s surface issues as well as underlying issues such as supporting and connective tissue in your face.  Applied as the very last facial skincare step at night during a 6 week regimen, Tripeptinon is being celebrated as THE best way to have youthful skin – kinda like a face lift in a capsule. Here’s the thing though, you don’t have to be *ahem* OLDER to use this stuff.  No matter your age, your skin is constantly exposed to elements that are working against it, sun, wind, toxins in your environment, etc.  That means that no matter your age, you’re at the perfect age to take care of your skin.

Win it! I have a 6 week supply of Tripeptinon to give away to one lucky CSC reader!  To enter leave a comment for me on this post, and I’d luff you forever if you could say something with a bit more effort than “I wanna win.” or “enter me”.  Oh, and I have final say over what comments qualify as effort.  After your initial comment, every other (pertinent) comment left on this site on other posts from now through March 15th will count as an extra entry each.  You don’t need to come back to this post and tell me you commented on another post, I can stalk track you via your email/IP address.   As usual, extra entries are also available for stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, following me on Twitter, and blogging about this giveaway with a link back here.  That’s it, so good luck!

A Low Calorie Snack For Your Eyelashes! {A Giveaway!}

If you’re a frequent reader here, you know that I’m slightly obsessed with beauty products – especially anything that makes my eyelashes look fabulous.  Like mascara.  I love that stuff.  Jillian even wrote a post about mascara being a must-have, so I know I’m probably not alone on this one, right?

Long luxurious lashes rock, and I was so excited to be given the opportunity to try LashFood – a natural eyelash conditioner that comes with a guarantee — longer fuller lashes or your money back!  Of course, the process takes 2-4 weeks, but that is totally worth it!  I’ve only been using it for a week, so I can’t yet attest to it’s performance, but I can already tell you what I like about it.  It’s an all-natural product that is unscented and doesn’t irritate my eyes.  It is super easy to apply – it has a little brush on the end of a wand, and you apply the liquid 2 times a day to your eyelashes just like you would liquid eyeliner.  It doesn’t interfere with my makeup – I just put in on in the morning before my makeup and at night after I wash it off.

Want stronger fuller eyebrows?  LashFood works for that too!  Of course, beauty is hard work and sometimes expensive.  LashFood will run you $130 for a tube, but for people with brittle or short lashes, it sounds entirely worth it!

I’ll be sure and let you know how my experiment with LashFood goes, but for now I wanted to give you a chance to win a tube of it for yourself!

Win it! To enter, just leave a comment on this post with a question you’d like to see Jillian, our in-house beauty expert, answer on this site.  It can be anything beauty, skin, or makeup related.  If you can’t think of one, I’ll take any comment related to why you want to win, so long as it includes some effort.  After that, every other (pertinent) comment left on this site on other posts from now through March 7th will count as an extra entry each.  You don’t need to come back to this post and tell me you commented on another post, I can stalk track you via your email/IP address.   As usual, extra entries are also available for stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, following me on Twitter, and blogging about this giveaway with a link back here.  That’s it, so good luck!

Superbowl Stunner: A How To for You!

I love Jennifer Hudson and I don’t think I’m alone here.  She’s talented, fearless and always looks fabulous.  She’s come a million miles since her underdog days on American Idol, and it’s been such a thrill to watch her grow into a stunning young woman.

Her makeup is always PERFECT.  Whether she’s walking the red carpet, or making an appearance, or giving one of her sensational performances.

I’m STILL in love with her makeup at the Superbowl earlier this month, and I know many other people thought she looked particularly fabulous for the occasion.  If you loved her look too, here is how you can get the look with a how to courtesy of her incredibly talented make-up artist Sam Fine – who also gives great face to Queen Latifah (Interested in a ‘how to’ for Queen Latifah?  Visit my blog).

TO GET THE LOOK:

Mascara is My Must Have. What’s Yours?

I want to start out by saying that this is not the original entry I had taken the time to write.  My original post was lovely.  I promise.  In any case, let’s see if I can get this going again since that post mysteriously VANISHED.

When Erika asked if I’d start contributing to CSC I was incredibly flattered, super excited and also a little bit nervous. I know I’ve been doing the make-up thing for a while now, and I’m definitely a bon-a-fide hustler making my name in my own scene, but its always slightly intimidating to be the new girl. Especially when you’re the new girl on a website maintained by a really fabulous young woman who seems to have this blogging thing down a lot more than I do in my own little corner of the internet.

I do my best on my own site, constantly trying to strike a balance between personal and professional, and product reviews and beauty tips. Trying to find the appropriate balance on my own site can be tough though, and it often means that I don’t get to let my readers in on as many great products and how-to’s as I might like. So when Erika asked if I’d share my tips with you, I couldn’t resist the opportunity! Here on CSC I’ll be able to give you all the tips I have, even the ones that might not have a home on my own blog because I’m busy blogging about a photoshoot or recent work.

I thought for my first post I would share my must have mascara’s and the best way to apply them. It is one of Erika’s make-up obsessions, and it is also one of mine…And I think it’s the perfect way to get things started. If you too share our passion for luscious lashes, then you will love the following two mascara’s: Benefit BADgal and Maybelline Great Lash.

Benefit BADgal is my favorite! It creates thick and full lashes that look incredibly sexy on any woman! However, some of my clients and friends have complained that the brush on this mascara is too big and they aren’t comfortable handling it. My suggestion is to bend the tip of the wand. You don’t have to bend it a lot – Just a slight bend will allow you greater control over the brush because you’ll be able to twist and turn it in more directions than if you leave the wand straight.

If BADgal doesn’t work for you, there is always Maybelline Great Lash! There’s a reason that this mascara has a cult following: It does not disappoint! It’s virtually fool proof, and in my opinion is one of the most consistent mascara’s on the market. When applying this mascara, I recommend TWO coats applied one right after the other. You don’t want this mascara to dry before applying a second coat otherwise you’ll end up with spider lashes; And seriously, who wants spider lashes?

Note: If you’re already devoted to a specific mascara, you can still try my tip for bending the tip of the mascara wand. No matter what mascara you use, you will get optimal control if you bend the tip which means you’ll be able to cover every inch of lash!  Trust me, maneuvering the wand will be easy breezy with this trick!

That’s all for this week, but please let me know what you might be interested in reading! I’m really excited to have a new network of girlfriends with a love of beauty, and I hope that you’ll share your own tips in the comment section and also leave questions there about anything beauty related that you might want to see covered in my posts.

You are also welcome to visit my blog – Your feedback is appreciated there as well!

I look forward to writing, and sharing my tips with all of you!
