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! :)

Just an update for ya...
I wanted to let you guys know I have not forgotten all the blog posts that I promised. I have been, in fact, working on them and have a great deal of them finished. I am waiting to post until I post the YouTube video that corresponds, so the cross references make sense! I will begin posting these very soon!
I have been taking advantage of the amount of time I have had lately! My daughter went on a mini vaca just with her dad, so I have had a great deal of quiet time without the munchkin! I have used some of the time spending time with girl friends and shopping with my mom, but I have been concentrating a great deal on this love! I worked a lot on one contest entry in particular that I had hoped to come up with something worthy to turn in, but I didn't. I just didn't like how everything turned out! This entry was for the MUG eyeliner only look. The only thing I gained out of this was a crap load of liners!! LOL! I guess I wanted to have a great deal of these colors on hand and did want to try them, but I just wish I could have come up with SOMETHING! Oh, well! I will review the liners I came across for you guys very soon!
So, I just wanted you to know I have NOT forgot you guys! Just working diligently so when my daughter comes back, I don't have to use the time I should be spending with her prior to school starting, on making vids! Plus, since I got my hair all chopped off, I have to get up earlier to fix it, which means if I don't get in bed by 11 pm, I WILL NOT get up! (That cuts work time down as well! boo!) Let me know if you guys are interested in any reviews in particular! I am currently trying to save my cash for the MAC Fall collection (I want one of everything...litterally...i am being serious!) I have never loved a collection so much, so, I won't be able to buy a lot of items (from the drugstore or otherwise), but will be happy to review anything you have seen me use/purchase. I have a long line of them coming up but won't mind to add more or start a list for after I recover from the MAC haulin I will do later this month/first of next month!
Thanks so much for all your support! I really appreciate it! If you like my blog, let me know! Also, if you have any suggestions that would make it better (constructive critisism only-hater comments will be deleted), I would love to know! Once school gets into full swing, things will slow down a bit for me and I will get back on my normal schedule of posting daily/every other day for ya! Take care!
Much Love Always....Vanity

Reviews, Reviews, & more Reviews!
I want to say sorry...again! I am working on a lot of reviews right now but have been put down by a terrible ear infection. I did go to the doc yesterday so today I do feel a bit better! I am hoping to be able to stay awake past 9 pm to be able to work on some vids for my YouTube channel and get some photos/swatches/reviews up on here for you guys! I have a couple of items that I believe are missing out on some much needed credit!
As always, if you have some items you would like to see reviewed or any looks you would like to see carried out...let me know and I would be more than happy to do them for you! Maybe I will stop being sick so I can get back into the swing of things! LOL!
I AM going to be working on a look for my sister in law...well soon to be...for her wedding. Hopefully, she will let me do her makeup, but if not, maybe the look will inspire some of you for your special day! This will more than likely be my next look vid...so keep an eye open for that!

Wet 'N Wild Tinted Moisturizer - Review MUG Requested
This review was suggested by allura on the Makeup Geek Forum: www.MakeupGeek.com/forum. Thanks for the suggestion! I hope it helps!!
The first day, when I applied this product over my foundation, I found that around lunchtime, my face felt extremely greasy and thought that maybe it was just a bit much. I used some blot paper and a little powder, but even an hour later I had the same issues. So, the next day, I decided not to use my daily moisturizer and simply apply the tinted moisturizer on its own, with the blending sponge. It didn’t seem to have gone on uneven and I was pretty pleased with how my skin looked once it had dried. This day, I didn’t end up with a super greasy feeling by lunch, but…I ended up having to get out of my office and run some errands in the 95 degree heat. I checked my makeup after being out for around 45 min and it still didn’t look too bad. I do have an oily t-zone so minus that area…I remained pleased with the product.
I wouldn’t say this is the number one tinted moisturizer on the market, but it does a decent job for the price. I wouldn’t absolutely have to have this particular one, when it ran out, but I will say that if you are on a strict beauty budget, this is a product that would fit well into your budget. If you find the consistency a bit too thick, or the color too dark (they only have three shades), add a bit of your own moisturizer or some highlighting lotion (without oil). This technique will help with blending the tint making it match a bit better! I do have a YT vid on why I use this technique and what I do, go check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAchBzG4gsI
Now, for some reason today when I used this moisturizer, I loved it to be honest! I don’t know if it has anything to do with the fact that I did my brown sugar scrub last night before bed. The mornings after I use this scrub, my face is super hydrated and smooth. I believe this is why I had the best results with this product today! I didn’t have to use ANY foundation to even out my skin tone-just my MSF Natural over it. I was pretty pumped about that! I will continue to use this product, maybe just the days that I am not having as many skin issues though! LOL!!!
If you have tried this product and feel differently, the same, or you would just to put your two cents in, leave a comment below! You can also check out the full review on this product as well as the drugstore haul that started it all here-----à http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsHrS-_hp-8 (Haul) www.YouTube.com/VanitysEdge (Full Video Review Coming Soon!!)
I thought it was okay. Nothing that I got extremely excited about…except the price! $3.25 @ Walgreens. I tried it over my moisturizer & put some MSF natural over it for a no makeup makeup look that I was going for. I did this because the consistency feels awful dry and I didn’t want it to dry uneven on my skin. This “moisturizer” felt more like a foundation rather than a moisturizer, which was a drawback personally. The application was pretty simple…I used my fingers one day and my SK blending sponge the second day. Both techniques seemed to work well. However, I found the blending sponge gave a more even application and I didn’t have any dark areas around my hairline and eye brows. This is what I hate most about tinted moisturizers. If they are too dark or extremely pigmented, they seem to settle in these areas on my face and look like crap!
