<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">thought i'd share a little lip lovin' with my wonderful readers. here is a lipstick by MAC called 'vegas volt.' it's a lovely coral color with orange undertones. definitely gives you that pop of confidence when the weather is getting so cold & you're tired of your regular lip color.. you know, the nudes & plums, etc. in my opinion, adding a pop of color every now & then for the off season is fantastic. there is nothing better than standing out with lucious lips!</span></div>

<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">meet my newest baby - my MAC ZUCA!!!! i'd post pictures of what's inside but i'm waiting for my kit to be at least 90% complete. so far i'm at about 60%. honestly, so far this has seriously been the greatest thing EVER! it's durable, you can actually sit on it & it's so compact & modern.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">let's get down to the details, shall we?</span></div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">price: i forgot the exact price but afer tax & shipping for me it was $280 & some change</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">features: steel frame that is extremely durable. it's a top that acts a seat to hold up to 300 lbs!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">the material that houses the pouches IS removable & washable</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">the wheels are the ones that look like roller blade wheels. they're soft but big & definitely help for when you're hauling your kit up the stairs</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">the zuca comes with 4 pouches that have the MAC logo on them. i got an additional 2 more because i feel like it could hold more!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">the kit alone (without any makeup in it) is 8 lbs. it really doesn't even feel like it!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">it comes with a durable cover that is water resistant & washable as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">if you would like to order this, you may do so! here's how: if you are a MAC PRO member, you are welcomed to call the US mac pro number. if you ARE NOT A MAC PRO MEMBER, you must call the MAC PRO in canada. i don't know why it's set up like this but it just is.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i have yet to use my zuca & travel somewhere with it. but i will soon because i have a wedding coming up & a few halloween gigs.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i PROMISE to post pictures as soon as my kit is a bit more plump!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">as always, remember to stay happy, stay healthy & remember YOU are BEAUTIFUL!</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">- XOXO, em. <3</span></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">hey everyone! as usual, a good amount of everything is happening - both good & bad. but on to the good stuff, i spent a day in boston for the MAKEUP FOR EVER (MUFE) pro road show. this was a big chance for me to learn how to see work from a pro! i was extremely excited.. i didn't go to sleep the night before even after working! yeah, NOT the best idea. anywho, here at the pro road show there were a bunch of ladies and some men. everything from their line was 40% off & some stuff was 50% off (the MUST HAVES!). </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">this palette features 12 cream colors that can be used in many different ways; eyes, lips & cheeks! you can pretty much do anything with this & a few brushes!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">had to pick up a bigger metal palette.. the one i recieved for school just wasn't cutting it :( but i LOVE this one! very durable & sleek with the MUFE label on the bottom. great for mixing products. i didn't pick up the one with the little circles (i should have!) but they had that available as well, great for mixing foundations & other things that can get runny.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the main reason why i came was to pick up some foundations. i'm already half way through my bottles that i recieved from school (we didn't really get a big amount anyway). but i also wanted to build my kit with best. the texture is AMAZING! & a little goes such a long way - no joke. these foundations are great for photographing, they're light enough but not too sheer & they settle so nicely.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i also picked up 2 camoflauge concealer palettes & an aqua eyes pencil in black. some of the stuff wasn't available right there (you got to test it out & put it on an order sheet for it to be shipped to you). i just couldn't wait to get this posted. check out <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/">http://www.makeupforever.com</a> to see if they're coming to an area near you. this event is complimentary! you get to learn so much & it's just SO inspiring!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">a few weeks i purchased the new nars cheek palette (i sadly missed last years dannari palette!!). as soon as i saw it i snatched it up online ASAP! all colors are based off of orgasm. you can play up these colors to create your custom mix of blush. personally, these colors are gorgeous on their own!! you have orgasm, a hot pink/fuchsia, a subtle daytime pink & a golden shimmer bar at the top. you can use that gold to mix with the hot pink to give you a luminous glow when you're going for the no makeup look. it's absolutely GORG!!! for darker skin tones, using that golden shimmer as a highlight is definitely a plus for your eyes and cheek bones. i will make a short video review on my YouTube channel for better details. happy blushing!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i probably should've done this long ago, but as always - i'm re-doing things, adding things & taking some away. today's project; my makeup brush holder. for the past few months i've accumulated plenty of makeup brushes (i had no clue i had this many) & i was keeping them in one of the small e.l.f. holders & more in another cubic glass vase thing. i went to ikea & bought this vase right here for my bamboo plants in my kitchen.. little did i know that was such a fail with 12 inch bamboo sticks & a small vase to think 3 bags of rocks would hold them up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">so here are the details.. the vase is from ikea, you can find it where the plant & floral things are. it was bout $15. here are the tiny bead-like things that i bought at a.c. moore (a local craft store here on the east coast). each bag was $9.99. silly me bought 2 bags thinking it would be too less.. i measured how many cups my vase holds & it came to 8. i tried doing some math & just stuck with 2 bags - still thinking i was risking it & i'd have to go back to get more. it was plenty. i didn't even use half of the other bag! so one of these puppies is ENOUGH!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i've been getting SO tired of being charged a different amount of money for the same service everytime i went to this nail salon i usually go to. it was time for my monthly fill & this time, i decided to go solo - by doing my nails myself. i usually get pink & white (i've been going for a year & a half). i've been dying to try the ibd uv gel system. everything was from sally's beauty supply. the intro kit costs about $35. the lamp (which is just another brand, 36 watts) was $70. the cost of the kit & the lamp (which will be a one time purchase) already pays for itself!! usually a uv gel service can range from $40-$100+. with this ibd gel system you get SO much product already. the only thing is that you have to buy "winter white" which comes seperately, if you want to do a french. the white in the kit comes out cloudy for a more super natural look.. it took me a while to discover this after i kept building the white & it wasn't opaque at all. again, this was my very first time doing this & i know i can definitely get better. it's almost as easy as putting on nail polish! as soon as i get the hang of it all, i plan on working on some people that i know - as soon as i get the right materials & sanitation materials as well. </span></div>

SO, next week, the fourth pair will be mine!! they fit absolutely wonderful & fit my face shape which is so hard for me to find!! to sum this all up, i just want my readers to keep in mind that taking care of your health is important. appreciate your vision that allows you to see life which is the most beautiful thing ever! hope you all have had a great weekend..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">after a few years of collecting, using & tossing.. i've still somehow found myself with tons of fragrances. maybe not as much as some people. but i'm only one person, there are only 365 days in a year & 3 sprays of perfume is enough, no more than 2 times a day. i haven't realized this habit of mine until i put them all on one shelf in my new apartment (this is why i've been gone for some time!). anywho, this is how i organize them. i've added more since then (i took this picture a few weeks ago) but i'll post an updated picture.. my collection ranges from bath & body works - uugh those darn coupons & promotions just get me!!! - victoria's secret, and department store fragrances made by celebrities. i like fruity, sweet & sophisticated scents. nothing too flowery or old lady-ish, blaght!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">oh my!! my skin is feeling absolutely smooth & clean. i received this lovely sized sample of clarins one-step gentle exfoliating cleanser from sephora (of course) with an online order a while ago. as always, let's skip the chit-chat & get right to it. GET IT! why?? i'll tell you...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">it's a 4-in-1 exfoliating treatment that is said to cleanse, exfoliate, detoxify & tone your skin. in this case, i agree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">you don't even need a lot to apply it to your whole face. i've now used this sample twice & i still have around 4 more uses to go. this is literally ALL you need! because we want to protect our skin, overdoing it isn't good. i would recommend this to be used only once a week. twice if you're like me & have had enough by the end of the week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">this is formulated for all skin types.. oily, dry, pale, dark, green, blue, purple. you name it. the texture is just gel like with "moringa" (horse-radish) grains.. these are the beads that are in here. can you see them?? they don't dissapear on you & they work fabulously at getting off all the dirt & gunk off of your face. i scrub my face with the tips of my hands so i can really work this into the crevices of my nose & those hard to reach areas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">who & what the heck is "Kony"?? my first guess was that it was some new rapper, honestly. it started out on twitter. i saw it again on facebook & had to take a good look at it. so i clicked on a link that someone posted, "if we didn't know." after that, my life would literally change.. forever.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i could go on & explain but i'm going to save it & just let you see for yourself. this is our mission..to get the word out. i never really paid attention to campaigns & other organizations who were set to accomplish a goal - until now of course. i've opened my eyes & now i see. this campaign has such a true motive. together, we will stop at nothing. i beg you to please AT LEAST watch the ENTIRE video... STOP KONY 2012!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i celebrated my valentine's day late with my guy since i worked for 12 & a half hours on the real v-day! we were both off & decided to do some shopping and what-not. well, okay, I decided to go shopping. hubby got a few things like a dolce & gabbana cologne, a new laptop, a carrying case for it & other guy things. i on the other hand, had my first experience with michael kors! we went an hour away to the westfarms mall in hartford. i LOVE that mall since our local mall is super boring. anywho, i've been eyeing this bag for a while & i went for it. i don't have anything white & i've been needing something new & comfortable. read on for the details!</span></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">outside: 2 pockets on each side of the bag, extremely convinient! has "feet" on the bottom to protect the bottom material of the bag.</span></li>

</ul>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i'm extremely happy with my purchase. the handles are thin & feel comfortable. the look of this bag & it's color scheme overall looks classy, clean & sophisticated. because this is pvc material, cleaning should be a breeze. michael kors does provide specific cleaners for extra care for your bag. i plan on using this as an every day bag whenever the time is necessary (going to refrain from bringing it to work though). it's simply perfect. so why MK? well, i wanted something new. i have coach & all but i just wanted something fresh.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">if you're just beginning in makeup, e.l.f is always the way to go so that you can experiemnt with different colors & materials. this is something i'd carry in my makeup bag for touch-up's but not something i'd use for a look that i'd want to stay on for the whole day. the colors are blendable & are actually great for color selection. as far as which complexion's these would work with, very light skin tones may have some dissapointment since the bronzer is pretty deep & pigmented. these shades may also have a hard time showing up on very deep & dark skin tones. this isn't something to rave about or go out & buy ASAP but it is a nice alternative to getting the NARS duo which is a huge difference in price (& quality). i also wish they'd have this available in different colors so that these would work with different skin tones. i'm pretty half & half on this one. that being said, if you buy this, don't expect too much of it. if you have an open mind & are'nt too picky on your products, go for it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">jewelmint is a subscription based website where personally styled jewelry is picked for you each month at $30. this is my first purchase; the bombshell bracelet from </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">december. because i was a first time purchaser, i received my bracelet for 70% off, making it only $8.99!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">for more information, you may visit <a href="http://www.jewelmint.com/" target="_blank">jewelmint</a> <--here. the basics of what you need to know is that you're charged $30 (once a month *in the beginning) automatically unless you choose to skip the month, you may purchase additional pieces, & discount codes are available. my thoughts & opinions are stated below.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">about the bombshell bracelet:</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"Indulge your inner bombshell beauty with this bedazzled bracelet. Inspired by Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, our 7 ½” wrist adornment includes an ultra glamorous mix of black acrylic cabochon stones, dazzling crystals, and ball bead detail. This statement piece combines feminine appeal and sizzling style because some like it hot!" - JewelMint</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">structure & quality:</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">it seems as if this bracelet would be a bangle type of thing (that's what i thought when i purchased mine). it's actually put together with little O rings at the top & bottom edges. it has a clam shell type of closure that has "jewelmint" engraved on it. each section moves freely so it's not stiff around your wrist. as for quality, i'd probably say it's ALMOST there. why "almost"? well, a while after wearing my bracelet to work, i noticed the closure is turning pink as if it's a cheap piece. nothing has happened to the rest of the bracelet so far (thank god!) but we'll see. the detailing is gorgeous, obviously. i've never had a piece like this.. i love it.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">packaging:</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">jewelmint provides every piece they sell in these minty green boxes that open up like a clam shell with a magnetic closure. the box is wrapped with a removable (& reusable) bow. not only that but inside the box is a small black, velvet drawstring pouch with a small charm that also has the logo on it. pretty much anything that's made from them has their name on it. you can tell they REALLY put thought into the packaging... seriously.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i really like what i've purchased from jewelmint for my first time. however, if i bought this piece for the full $30, i probably would've thought that it could've been better. it is a clean peice of jewelry & it's gorgeous. the closure turning pink totally threw me off. i was impressed with packaging but i feel like that's where half of the money is going.. it's a very pretty box & a very nice drawstring bag, c'mon. <em>some</em> of the things i saw on the website didn't look price worthy, you really have to choose wisely, unless you're into anything literally. i also wish they wouldn't show you the jewelry based off of their personality test (taken when you sign up). i've seen some things from other people that are sooo nice but aren't featured in my showroom. so, i'm hoping they'll have the jewelry available under tabs that categorize them by style or something.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">packaging: the brush holder is 3" by 3" & 4" in height. it has a rubberized feeling (sort of like the NARS packaging). on one side only it reads "eyes lips face". keep in mind, this rubberized texture isn't finger print friendly so if you're not a fan of finger prints (who the hell is?) then you might not want this. i got this because it'll be covered up anyway, only exposing my brushes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i'm going to add to the bunch of females & males who are just raving (or raveing?) about this palette. it's urban decay's most demanded palette. it was released in late 2011 & sold out over 5 times. i know because i was always missing out on it! i debated and thought about purchasing this palette because i figured it was just neutral colors & what not. but eventually, i gave in. everyone else has one (either the first one or second) so i wanted to see what all this rave was about. after a bit more researching, i realized this buy was'nt a bad idea at all. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">value:</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">you get 12 full size eye shadows for $50 (price of the palette). now, if you buy just one of the shadows, it's easily going to cost you $17 alone! now more about the product, it comes with a mini sized lip junke in 'naked' which is supposed to give a plumping effect. i haven't tried it out yet. in the palette there's a double sided 'good karma' brush by urban decay. the flat side is good for packing on a color & using it for liner. however, i'm not too much of a fan for it. the fluffy crease brush is also not the best but it does the work when you're in a rush. if it was softer, i'd probably get a 4 out of 5 (it's currently a 3).</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">now for the shadows! the palette has a great variety of shades. i've seen many complaints about half baked being duplicated in too many palettes. my only complaint is that i wish there were some more matte shades. there are only 3 which are foxy (1st color), tease (5th color), & blackout (last color). every other shade has a satin or shimmery finish. overall, you get your highlights, your bronze, your greys, your taupes & black. not to mention that the mirror takes up the whole lid of the top part.</span> </span></div>

<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">this palette is great in packaging as it is all held in a tin casing with a snap closure. the inside is made of durable plastic (this is where the shadows, mirror & brush are held. materials are made in the usa & assembled in the dominican republic.</span></div>

Will we have a white Christmas in New England?! Maybe, maybe not. We'll see! So anyway, I just got back from my first night of hanging with the "ImPac'Uth Group" (pronounced as Impact Youth). I've been NEEDING something to do for these weekends and I'm SO glad that I've gotten my chance to be a part of this. We went to the local broadway theatre and saw Cirque Le Masque. One word; AMAZING! I haven't painted my nails in, well, FOREVER. So I decided to go with a sparkly nail polish as sort of a celebration for the year and the holidays which are right around the corner! Mine came in a package of 2 mini bottles at Forever21. If you're able to find the same exact polish, awesome! If not, don't panic! Glittery nail polishes are available everywhere. Try this look for cocktail hour, a New Year's party, the club, and even the holidays!</span><br />
