Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask

I went to Sally's last night to pick up a few things for my next series, Beauty Secrets, and finally remembered that I wanted to try the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask. The little jars were on sale, but I decided to take advantage of my $5 gift card, and my beauty club discount and basically get the ginormous jar for free! I was super pumped to get it home and try it so I could see what all the hype is about!

The claim is that it is supposed to help dry up acne and tighten your skin, thus reducing the size of your pores. All of the above just about covers my issues...so I feel this "miracle jar" was made just for me....as long as it really does work! LOL!

My first impressions were positive. I loved the smell, the color wasn't too gross, and the texture was smooth and creamy! Once I applied it, after cleansing my face thoroughly, I could feel it start to work. There was a minty, cooling sensation that felt phenomenal and I could feel my skin tightening underneath.

It only took about 5 minutes or so for the mask to dry because I applied it in a thin layer, just as the directions stated. You want to make sure to, FOR REAL, keep it away from your eye area! I accidentally got it a bit close to my eye and it started burning like crazy!!! (All I did was wet a Q-Tip to "erase" the mask from places it didn't need to be...like that one!

Still following the directions to a tee, I wet a wash cloth with warm water and used that to gently remove the mask. I find this really is the way to go. You don't make a huge watery mess and the heat from the water-soaked cloth will melt the mask right off your face easily!

Once the mask was gone and my face was dry, I could tell my skin was a bit tighter and was so soft and smooth!!! I am not sold yet, too soon to tell, on the claim of reducing pore size. But, this morning, I DID notice a couple of my spots were drying up! Now, that could be because I applied a tea tree oil stick (that I also picked up at Sally's last night), following moisturizing and such.

Now, I plan to continue using this mask twice a week or so. I will keep you guys updated weekly or biweekly on my results in the event you guys have not tried this supposed wonder mask! LOL! I do like it upon my first impression, I just really hope it does all that it claims!

*If you guys know of any other masks like this that you have heard of and want me to try, I will happily do so! Queen Helene has a few differnent types of masks so there is one for every skin type! Check out your local Sally's Beauty or visit http://www.sallybeauty.com/ and check them out for yourself!!!

I hope you all have a fantabulous day and I will talk to you all VERY soon!

Halloween Requests and Ideas...

Let me have em! I think I have some good ideas goin, but I would love to hear what you guys have to say! Some people have given me some great ideas that I am running with but I would love to hear more! Of course, I may not get to do them all next year, but I am keeping the list in my work notebook, so I can have them to start on next halloween as well!

So, what are you interested in seeing or being?? I would love to come up with an inexpensive way to hook your makeup up! In my tutorials, I am going to be using grease paints from the halloween store, maybe some pigment samples and eyeshadows that you will probably have in your own collection! I will more than likely not touch any of the expensive ben nye, kryolan, or MUFE palettes, just so you can see that you can get killer results out of that $7 paint palette! I will give you my tips and tricks to making it all long lasting and the best ways to remove all this gunk and make your skin happy again after being so mean to it that day/night! LOL!

I have some great things on the horizon, but if you have some better ideas...I am all for hearing them!!!


OH-spread the word! I will be sponsoring a contest for you guys to say thanks for everyone that has given me my start here at blogspot and also at youtube. Participants will have to be subscribers at www.YouTube.com/VanitysEdge as well as followers here at www.VanitysEdge.blogspot.com! (You will find out why closer to time when I release the rules vid!) I am so happy that you guys decided to follow, sub and watch that I just want to give something back to you guys of course! I am in the process of gathering all my fav things for the prizes and working on the theme and rules. Since I am pretty busy at work as well as with all the Halloween tutorials and decorating I am doing, it will probably be sometime in Nov...so come back for updates! :)

Thanks guys...love yas bunches! :)

NEW MAC - STYLE BLACK

I just got my email from MAC about the new Style Black Collection that will hit stores tomorrow! I went online to take a peek because this collection is the one I have been waiting for! There are so many great items and colors you can get that are deep, dark, and PERFECT for fall that I just don't know how I am going to say no to any of them!

For starters, their mineralized shadows come in four amazing colors: Guilt by Association, Young Punk, Cinderfella, & Blue Flame. They are just amazing! I hope to be able to get my hands on Young Punk first and foremost! (It's the one in the photo!)

There are a variety of liners you can choose from as well including the Penultimate Liner in Rapidblack (which is a part of the permanent line), another permanent product which is the Kohl Liner in Smolder (love this for a smokey eye), & a Greasepaint Stick in Black which will be amazing for creating that super smokey effect!! All of these liners are in the blackest of black colors so of course, it is fitting they are all a part of this collection!

Now, all the products for the lips are truly amazing and I WILL own them all!!! There is a gorgeous cream lipstick in Black Knight that I have seen in Vouge, InStyle, and Elle Magazines posted as being one of the blackest black lipsticks you can get. There are 2 colors of the Mattenne lipsticks, one being Night Violet (a gorgeous deep, Purple Grape) & the other is Midnight Media (a deep Matte Black).

The Glimmerglasses have me in a trance...wondering what they have changed about the all-time famous Dazzleglasses! I just can't wait to swatch these puppies! There are three amazing colors including Blackfire, Bling Black, & Blackware...go to the website to see these...they are just indescribable! http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT1795&PRODUCT_ID=6465

In addition to the wonderful eye and lip products I mentioned above, there are a number of face products including 2 colors of Cream Color Bases (a black and a deep grape), the ever popular Volcanic Ash Exfoliator that I am dying to dry, & a Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask. The prices range but all three products are under $20 which makes it all the more sweet!

The brush that is a part of this set is the 214 Short Shader Brush that would be phenomenal for smudging all these fantabulous smokey eye products and the nail colors are beautiful to say the very least!!! There is of course a black - Nocturnelle, a black with gold pearl - Seriously Hip, & blackish/pink-purple - Baby Goth Girl. I know I won't be able to choose so...yet again, I will probably get all of these as well. LOL!

I am truly in love with this collection and cannot wait to make my trip to the counter or just make the order off the web! This collection is perfect for fall and being released right here at Halloween makes it all the better! I know I will take advantage of all the black and purple with my costume...what about you???

http://www.maccosmetics.com/ http://www.macpro.com

Use the code BLACK at checkout for free shipping on these items at maccosmetics.com!

Especially if you are a Makup Artist and have to have multiples of your brushes, these brushes are a great way to fill in sets!

There happens to be ONE limitation after all....the discount is only up to $15! Now, that is a bummer! I was seriously going to order every brush they had and the rest of the studio stuff I wanted to get to review...but...this just nixed that for me. I will order the studio brushes and some more studio items however. But, I am really bummed that I can't get all the brushes at once to compare. Oh well...maybe next time! LOL! It is still a great deal to get money off!!!

SO...........There is no time to lose!!! Go to http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ NOW and take advantage of these great savings!!!

I'm here...I promise!

Update time!

I know I seem to have gone mia for the past couple of days, but I am working on things!! First of all, I am getting ready for a yardsale and have been devoting a great deal of my time to that. If you have ever had one, you know how much hard work goes into getting a yardsale done! I really need the cash right now too! I want to post a thanks contest for all the subs that have got me started and will prob do that at around 200 or so. I had hoped to be able to do one at 100, but I just don't think I will be ready when I hit 100...there is just too much going on for me right now! Plus...I really have to figure out the theme of the contest since my barbie look theme was recently jacked...BOO!!! Anyway!

I am also working on getting my BE sale posted on YT. I have not got a ton of response yet and would really like to get this stuff sold/swapped. I am going to try and sell it at the yardsale as well and hope that with it in the ad in the paper, I will have more specialized lookers for those items! Fingers crossed!

I have also done a great deal of halloween shopping/looking this week and weekend! I am coming up with some halloween looks that I am going to be filming soon. In the meantime, I have a library of videos that are ready to be edited and posted as well! If you have any thoughts on halloween looks...let me know! I would LOVE to hear them!

My family and I made a huge decision about halloween this weekend as well! When I was little...around late elementary/middle school age, my mom, my bro, & I would decorate our entire garage and front porch for halloween! It was a huge hit at the time and we would have hundreds and hundreds of people come by our house in the 3-4 hours we left the garage door open. It was SO much fun and the last few years, we have toyed with the idea of doing it again but the kids have not been with us, but with their other parents on halloween in years past. WELL, the year has finally hit where halloween falls on a saturday and ALL the fam's kids will be around!! We are going to haunt our garage again!

This is always a HUGE endeavor, but we have the BEST time doing it! I am going to be the old wicked witch of the house, since my mom doesn't want to dress up. I plan to post a mu tutorial on this makeup soon, once I have all the things I need to do it! It is pretty freaky, but phenomenal makeup! I can't wait to show everyone that and our haunted garage! I will most def do a vid on both! So look forward to that!

Thanks for coming by...I just wanted to update and let ya know vids are coming soon as well as more review posts and swatches and just all sorts of stuff!!

Love you guys! Thanks so much for the support!! :) Peace!

A Little Gem That I Rediscovered!

I have found a little gem that I have truly fallen in love with! My adoration for lip glosses, is extreme and it is a rare occurance that I stumble across one that I absolutely fall in love with. When the MAC Dazzleglasses came out, I was in awe of the finish and colors. I purchased Get Rich Quick and have used the hell out of it…until now!
I ended up purchasing a lot of the Smashbox Sunset Boulevard Lip Gloss Pots for about $5 on eBay! It was a killer deal and I was super stoked about them at the time. I used Hot a couple of times but they all ended up in the back of my drawer and I ended up putting Sexy on eBay for sale with a lot of other Smashbox products that had sat on my vanity unused.
When I started cleaning out and reorganizing, I found them again and started using them again! I love these glosses! They are super pigmented and they have a pretty good staying power. The color that I have absolutely fallen in love with is Simmer! It is SO gorgeous and I am addicted to this gloss! I love the look of it and the coloring is perfect for everyday use! Simmer is a champagne color with a sort of pink undertone. There is a slight gold shimmer to the color as well that catches the light just right making your lips look fuller and plumper! The formulation is a tad on the sticky side, but I like that in a gloss. Sticky glosses seem to stay better than silky ones and they are generally more pigmented as well! Overall, this color gets a 10 from me! It looks fabulous alone or over top of a nude lip…just a great all around color for ALL skin tones!
If you don’t own this, you should! I don’t leave home without this puppy! In fact, it is sitting on my desk right now, so I can reapply quickly when needed! LOL! The only thing that I don’t like about it, and it is just one thing, is….the packaging. It is in a pot so it really isn’t something I can put in my pocket and apply without a mirror. I have to make sure to have my lip brush with me at all times, which is kinda lame. I wish it was offered in a tube with a wand or as a stick or something…anything other than a pot! I don’t like sticking my fingers in products, in the event I want to use them on a client and having to put your finger in a gloss pot…is just plain yucky! Your finger ends up all sticky and a paper towel, tissue, or wipe is needed to fix this problem!
But, because I love Smashbox and I LOVE this color and gloss, I stick with it and carry a lipbrush or disposable wand with me. The color is just that great! If you are interested in purchasing this color for yourself, you can search “Smashbox Simmer Lip Gloss” on eBay and get it on auction for anywhere between $5 and $15 (the higher number being for multiples), or you can visit this link http://www.smashbox.com/SUNSET-BLVD-LIP-GLOSS to purchase it from Smashbox.com, on sale for $8!!! Go check it out if you are a gloss junkie like me…I really don’t think you will be disappointed!

BE FOR SALE...A LITTLE INFO...

If you are interested in the Bare Minerals I have for sale, and contact me via email or chat, please post your email address/contact information you prefer I use. I normally keep my computer turned on with the net going, so I may miss a chat requested message. If you do not get a response quickly, it means I am away from my computer and forgot to put up an away message. If this happens, just leave your email address and I will contact you. I unfortunatly cant text through a screen name...boo! This just happened a moment ago and I feel terrible that I can't get a hold of the interested person.

So, just make sure you hook me up with your email address and we can chat about what you are interested in! I have had some people show interest but no one has specified items as of yet, so get your requests in so you get exactly what you would like to have!

Since I lowered the price to $5 a jar, I can't offer much more of a discount. I can, however, offer free shipping or something of the sort! :) I hope everyone understands. I paid a dollar more per jar of makeup for these and don't want to loose a ton of money from deals. You guys let me know what you are interested in and we can get things going for ya! :)

Take care and thanks!

BE FOR SALE ON MAKEUP GEEK FORUM!

I have posted the Bare Minerals I have for sale on the Makeup Geek forum, since the lots didn't sell on eBay. I had hoped to get rid of it quickly, but it looks like I am going to do better selling individuals. I got all this makeup from my last wholesaler and am going to sell to you for what I got it for. I don't have the time to sell on eBay any longer and just hate to see great makeup go to waste!

If you find yourself not using mineral shadows/liners/blushes like these, just press them! Since I pressed mine, I use them a LOT more and even use them on clients like crazy! PLUS...you can split the pot with a friend and both get a pressed shadow out of them!

I love BE shadows/liners/blushes because they are so versitile! There is nothing you can't do with them! Use blushes for shadows, shadows for liners, liners for brow filler...you can do anything with them! I have even started mixing them to get new shades that I didn't have before!!!

So, go check out my sale on Makeup Geek! If you are interested, message me here or shoot me an email at Vanitys_Edge@yahoo.com. (That is of course if you are not already a member of MUG yourself!) I would love to see all this go to good homes and get used and just think that this makeup would make fabulous Christmas gifts! They are NEW!!!! :)

Here is the link:

http://www.makeupgeek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=24675

There are tons of photos and listings of the colors! I will happily swatch anything for anyone interested! Please note, I accept Paypal payments ONLY....NO EXCEPTIONS!

Thanks guys! Have a good one!

SALE ON STUDIO LINE AT E.L.F.!

I just got a coupon code for http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ for BOGO75% off on their studio line of products! You better believe that I am going to make an order for the things I didn't get to pick up to try the last time! Each of their items are $3 in this line (for the most part)...so it is cheaper than purchasing at the drug store! I have begun to fall in love with this line! The colors are super pigmented, they blend well and for the items I have tried...they actually do what they claim!

Since these are cheaper products, I am comparing to drugstore brands I have used. Once I have done that comparisson, I will move on to letting e.l.f. battle it out with all my fav high end companies! We will see which ones come out on top!

Make sure to visit the site today...I don't know how long this code will last! I just got it so, I would say you would at the VERY least get 24 hours to use it! I am placing my order tonight, how about you???

Im Back!

I finally got back from my quick trip to the beach! I had a pretty good time since I got to go to the CCO! I was so pumped and ended up staying in there for 2.5 hours filming and chatting with the ladies that work there! I got offered a job and had I had my daughter with me...I would've taken it and left this crap town behind! How I would love to take it...but I really don't want to live on that island...only one way out when there is a hurricane! AHHHH!!! Maybe the next CCO I go to will offer me a job...that one IS in a town I would live in! (And actually planning to move to!)

Anyway...they carry all sorts of brands in there all the way from Clinique, Estee Lauder, & Bobbi Brown...to Origins & MAC...which is of course why I went! LOL! I had the best time hearing how the whole thing works and playing with all their stuff! I learned so much from the ladies that work in there about when stuff hits there stores, so I will plan my next trip around the schedule!

They had just started getting in products from MAC's Hello Kitty Collection and I was amazed at the prices! I ended up getting one of the blushes in Tippy...which I saw listed on eBay and the MUG forum for $30+!!! I got the thing...brand new, mind you...for $12.95! I stuck mostly to blushes getting a Flirt & Tease and Starknaked. I found a CreamColor Base in Pearl for $11 and walked out of there with a 219 for $16.95! I could have spend a friggin fortune in there!!! They just had so many things that I wanted!

I didn't end up with any new eyeshadows, because most of the ones they had, I already had or just really wasn't interested in. Most of those were just discontinued colors...nothing Limited Edition except for the Starflash Collection, which I already picked up on eBay. Their shadows were $10.50 each...and I have been getting them on eBay for cheaper, so I will just stick with that until my Pro card comes in...if it ever does! LOL!

I am going to start working on editing the footage that I shot. It is very choppy since I was trying to film only when there weren't people in there, but that was about impossible since it was Labor Day weekend and everyone and their momma was out shopping at the outlet mall that day! LOL! I didn't talk much in it either, so it will mostly be set to music and captioned, but you will at least get to see what all they had and how it was set up. (The parts that I did talk during, you really couldn't hear me because there were so many friggin women in there gushing about how cheap the MAC was! LOL!!!

Well, during my intro to the vid, I will go into greater detail about this particular shopping trip and I will also film a small haul for you guys...I say small because I just bought 5 items! (I did really good and didn't go over my budget! LOL! YAY!)

I hope you guys all had a fabulous Labor Day Weekend and I will let you know when the vids are posted and hook you up with some photos as well!!! Much love to you guys...as always! Take it easy and have a fantastical day! :)

Where in the world am I?? A Trip to the CCO!!!

Hey you guys!! Just wanted to shoot you a quick update! I am in Florida this weekend for my brothers wedding, woohoo! I am going to be doing hair and makeup for the bride and my mom...and anyone else that comes along! LOL! What I wanted to tell you guys is that there is an outlet mall about 25 minutes away. I looked it up on the net and there is a CCO, Cosmetic Company Outlet, there!!! As soon as I told my mom, she promised that we will go and guess what....I AM TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!!

I never thought I would have the opportunity to go to a CCO and for those that won't have the opportunity, I want to take you along for the ride!!! I will take you in to show you what products they have and what everything looks like, so make sure to look out for that vid! I bought a 4 gig card just for the trip, so I am sure it will be long, or I will have a TON of editing to do! LOL!!!

Make sure to visit www.YouTube.com/VanitysEdge soon to go to the CCO with me and my mom!!! It will be a blast!!! Love you guys!!! Take care and have a great holiday weekend!

So I am falling in love with Cibu styling products! Their product line is amazing and some of their stylists are on YouTube as well! I began watching Cibu17 and CibuStyleLounge when I got my hair cut and was looking for "short hair styles" to do on myself. I have fallen in love with the channels! I turned on my computer just now and saw that CibuStyleLounge has posted his second subscriber contest and the prizes are AMAZING! There is a Fusion Blowdryer, a Fusion Flat Iron, and a batch of killer Cibu products that will be chosen according to the winner. The contest is SIMPLE!!! Just click this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV6AlCbVxqQ ...& watch the video for info! Make sure to click and subscribe to the channel. Once you subscribe, just post a text comment stating that I sent you to subscribe and you did!!! Then, you can get your friends to go sub and participate in the contest for yourself! All you have to do is be one of the first 3 people to get 25 subs to the page and you win!!! Easy-cheezy! I REALLY need a new flat iron! I have killed mine, already, since I couldn't afford to get a decent one in the first place! *tear* I really don't think you will be disappointed in the channel or in these products! If you sub to NatNeagle, you have prob heard her talk about these products. She is who introduced me to them! I can't wait until I can finish saving for my order! I only wish I lived close to one of the salons! (I may have to take a trip!)

So....go sub to www.YouTube.com/CibuStyleLounge and tell him I sent you!!!! For anyone that does, I will figure out a small giveaway for you guys!!! Just let me know in the comments below referring to your comment and his sub page!

Thanks in advance to everyone!!! Go....have some Cibu-Fun!!! Love you guys!! Man...I'm SO glad I'm back! :)
