An Organized Purse = An Organized Life- Review Of Tori Stanied-Glass Handbag

2014-04-07T01:01:00.000-04:00

I ordered the Tori Stained-Glass Handbag from Peachy Queen Boutique just a few weeks ago. One of my mottos has always been: An Organized Purse=An Organized Life.

Tori Stained-Glass Handbag

http://www.peachyqueen.com/collections/handbags/products/tori-stanied-glass-handbag

When you are as busy as I am, you realize that you do not have time for tedious tasks, such as digging for pens, keys, or even your credit card in an unorganized, scattered pile of items in your purse. I know I needed a purse that would help me stay both sane and organized.

So let’s take a look inside my Tori Stained-Glass Handbag! This beautiful, spring-screaming, perfect-sized tote bag has 2 compartments on the inside. One compartment is perfect for thin items such as combs, pens, pencils, and can’t forget a highlighter! The other, slightly larger compartment is great for holding business cards, reward point cards, birth control packs, and gift cards (such as the iTunes gift cards that are displayed in my purse).

On the opposite side of the 2 compartments, is a larger area that is enclosed by a beautiful, gold zipper. This compartment is where I placed some of my larger, everyday items such as vitamins, a portable cell phone battery, and my Bluetooth.

My favorite thing about the Tori-Stained Handbag is a tie between the size of the bag and the smooth, velvety tan material inside of the handbag. I find myself gravitating towards this handbag now whenever I am on the way out.

As you can see, the back of this handbag is just as beautiful and crisp-looking as the front. The straps are perfect for hair-clips as well as sanitizers on a clip. I swear by sanitizers on a clip. When it is attached to your purse and always in site you are more likely to sanitize your hands more frequently throughout the day. I started this habit in February of this year. For a woman that recently got over pneumonia this January, let me tell you that it is very important to avoid germs by sanitizing as much as possible. This back zipper of the handbags is great for….KEYS! Never lose your key again when you have this convenient back zipper.

Lastly, be prepared for compliments galore! I recently attended a Women’s Food Service Forum networking event in Dallas, Texas with over 3,000 women! I am not shy, but I must say attending the event along with everyone else that already had cliques, was a little bit overwhelming and nerve-wracking at first. However, I must have received over 50 compliments during that trip over this bag! Those compliments led to conversations. Those conversations led to business card exchanges. Those business card exchanges will one day be partnerships, job opportunities, and future nation-wide friendships. So how will you start to organize your purse, and more importantly, your life?

If you have any questions or comments, please leave below.

A New Post From Our Beauty Blogger || Brit's Beauty Corner || High End Beauty at Drugstore Prices

2014-04-07T00:46:00.000-04:00

Ladies, are you addicted to beauty? Do you fiend for blush or have a jones for liquid liner? Is it driving a wedge between you and your significant other because he can no longer find room for his stuff in the bathroom? Do you hold funerals for your dearly departed shadow pots and jars of foundation (gone too soon!). Are you at Sephora making life decisions (Laura Mercier vs. gas money)? Are you tired of these endless questions??

If you answered Yes to any of the above, slightly dramatic questions, we share something in common. Like you, I too am a product junkie. I get a rush from buying new lipstick, I have 15 different black mascaras, and I am on a first name basis with practically every employee at the local Ulta, Sephora and MAC stores. Although storage of products is still an issues, I have, however, found a way to feed my "habit" that doesn't strain my finances quite as much.

I know most of you are quite familiar with the usual go-to retailers for your cosmetic needs, but when was the last time you bought from a small business owner? In this article, I will discuss a couple of my new favorite online makeup companies that offer high quality beauty products at unbeatable prices.

The first shop is Befabulosa. This small, female operated makeup company is perfect for both the professional and independent makeup diva. This online store offers a full range of cosmetic products to cover your face, eyes, and lips. The products are very well made, long lasting and contain quality pigment. You will find pallets for some of the shadows and concealers, which is great for a busy makeup artist who doesn't have time to dig through individual pots. There are several different lip formulas to choose from, and I also appreciate the fun and creative names given to the shades. There are often sales on the site, especially during the holidays, so you will always enjoy excellent prices. Like their slogan encourages, "Befabulosa - WhyBeOrdinaria" so head over to www.befabulosa.com today!

The second company I have ordered quite a bit of product from is MyBeautyAddiction.com. First discovering them on an Etsy binge over the holidays, I was even more blown away when I found out what their home store page had to offer. This company sells all natural bath and beauty products at prices I couldn't believe. They have three different price levels for their highly pigmented lip cream made with coconut oils and color dyes. There are mineral eyeshadows, perfumes, skin care, soaps - you name it & they've probably got it! I am a personal fan of their matching lipcream, lipgloss and eyeshadow combos. These products are also very sensitive skin friendly to sensitive skin without compromising on color or variety. It is definitely another small business worth checking out!

There are so many small beauty companies out there that are just as good, if not better, than the big name brands out on the market. You also have the added benefit of being able to take your questions directly to the business owners themselves in most cases, rather than being stuck on hold forever only to be connected to some rude person that knows nothing about what they are selling. Just like the quality shopping experience that you know you can expect here at Peachy Queen Boutique, I am very confident to state that the same can be said when giving your business to the above referenced companies. I don't know about you, but it's always comforting for me to know that my hard earned dollars are not only going on a quality product, but that my business is truly appreciated.

As always, keep adorning that beautiful secret person of the heart and I wish you a very happy shopping experience!

A DIY Lip Exfoliator From ModCloth That We Are In LOVE With!

2013-12-15T22:57:00.001-05:00

Simply mix, apply to lips in a circular motion, and wipe this tasty concoction off with a tissue for completely kissable lips. Easy as pie, right? Well, it’s surely as sweet! Shana and Elizabeth of Fox & Doll Makeup shared this delectable DIY with us, so you can learn how-to prep your pout before applying the lip colors you love.
Shana popped into ModCloth’s San Francisco office to teach us Lip Care 101:

Why exfoliate your lips?
It’s going to make lipstick go on with a nice smooth and even texture. Exfoliating the top layer of the skin before applying lipstick exposes a new soft surface, and it hydrates at the same time. Exfoliating now, as we head into cooler months, is especially important because your skin tends to be drier during the winter.

Is natural always better?
Nothing beats mixing something special at home, but it depends on the person and the products they use. Folks can have different reactions to different ingredients, even if they’re natural. There are some great synthetic ingredients out there that are not irritating and non-clogging, though — you just have to choose a product line that uses reputably sourced ingredients. Also, when making your own concoctions, remember that they don’t last as long since they lack preservatives, so make small batches, and note smell and texture.

Any more tips for keeping ‘em kissable throughout the year?
Keep a hydrating lip balm by your bed at night and put it on right before you go to sleep. Look for something non-petroleum based. Shea butter- or cocoa butter-based is your best bet. Also, whenever you find a product you like that has SPF in it, go for it! It can be a tough thing to find, but fortunately, just putting color on your lips blocks the sun a bit by itself. Think of red lipstick as a semi-block from the sun!

Brit's Beauty Corner Review AND Giveaway Enter Now!!!

2013-11-16T18:15:00.000-05:00

Hello dear ones!
Well, it is officially cold-weather season and I am LOVING it! In fact, I have been so in love with sleeping in, wrapped in my new electric blanket, that I have been in virtual hibernation mode when it comes to keeping up with my blogs. For this, you have my sincerest apologies. Fear not, for I am back and have some awesomeness in store for you to make amends for my cold-weather laziness. I realize this blog was supposed to be a winged liner tutorial – but due to my bootleg camera acting ratchet, I am substituting with a great review and a pretty sweet giveaway contest – deets on that will come a little later.

To get this PAR-TAY started, I want to tell you all about my hot new product find – “Swagger Cosmetics”. I found out about this amazing new line of cruelty free, 100% vegan makeup through another random Instagram search one night (I am seriously loving these IG product finds!). Now, don’t worry, I’m not a tree-hugger. Nor do I go around with a bucket of red paint, waiting to fling it at the next mink coat wearing diva as I scream “Fur is Murder!” For my anti-hybrid, gas guzzling, bacon lovers, I know you probably don’t give a hoot about anything vegan, and normally it’s not a huge deciding factor for me either when it comes to my cosmetic choices. That said, I’m certainly an animal lover and I can’t bear the thought of forcing a cute furry friend to test out harsh chemicals and hideous lip colors in order for it to make it to my face (YES I’m a hypocrite). So no matter where you fall in the animal friendly product spectrum, it is wonderful to know that the ridiculously high quality products that Blake K of “Swagger Cosmetics” offers are completely guilt free!

For my first foray into the Swagger world, I started with an order of a few pigments and a lip mattifying powder. The pigment colors were dope in their own right, but the names took it to a whole new level. The following is the list of names in no particular order: Swagger (had to get the mascot color), Young Rich & Flashy, Gold Digger, and Red Bone. Dope squared right!? Swagger is a great sparkly blue, Young Rich & Flashy is a translucent gold shimmer dust that is an excellent highlight, Gold Digger is an intense rich gold, and Red Bone is a deep sparkly maroon-ish/brownish red. While I realize that my descriptions are fantastic and not at all vague, I’ve also got you covered with a swatch pic.

I am so smitten with this product line and am confident that you divas will be too. I highly encourage you to run, not walk, over to swaggercosmetics.com and place an order – and just because I think you dear readers are so deserving of an extra perk, you can save yourself 10% on your order if you use the code: FACESBYBRIT before you check out.

Well, now on to the part you’ve likely skipped the rest of this article for (don’t do that, it’s rude) – it’s time for a GIVEAWAY!! I have already done a couple of giveaways on my Instagram account @faces_by_brit in the past, but I thought I would open it up to both my PQB blog readers as well as my Facebook followers because this giveaway is going to be my best one yet. Since the holidays are fast approaching and I want my followers to be able to be as glam as possible, I am offering several chances to win a prize. For one lucky grand prize winner, I will be offering 1 full size MAC pigment, 1 MAC lipstick, and 3 pairs of Red Cherry eyelashes. There will also be a 2nd place prize of a $10 Sephora gift card and 1 pair of Red Cherry eyelashes and a surprise 3rd place prize.

So now you’re wondering, how do I enter this super amazing contest – well wonder no longer, because I’m going to tell you! Please pay attention because it’s going to be a little detailed and you

MUST do everything to qualify.

1. You must be following @faces_by_brit and @peachyqueens on Instagram

2. Repost the contest picture (Found on @faces_by_brit and in this blog) on your Instagram account

3. Hashtag this picture #FacesByBritGiveaway

The Vasline Polish Trick | To Get The Perfect Nail Polish Look

2013-10-29T21:38:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone,
Some (very lucky) people have been gifted with the ability to apply polish perfectly. For the rest of us, the end result of an at-home manicure isn’t always as pretty (read: nail polish…everywhere). If your nail polish tends to end up on the skin around your nails, this tip is about to change your life. To keep your polish on your nail beds and off your skin, all you need is Vaseline and a Q-tip! Here’s how to put this tip to use:

The Vaseline Polish Trick

Tools:
Vaseline (or Lotion)
Q-tip
Instructions:
1.) Dab the Q-tip in the Vaseline or lotion
2.) Carefully wipe Q-tip on the skin around your nails, being careful not to get it on your actual nail bed
3.) Paint your nails as usual
4.) Wait for polish to dry
5.) Use a new Q-tip to clean up any leftover Vaseline or lotion residue
Putting Vaseline or lotion around your nails will keep your polish from getting onto your skin, leaving you with a perfect mani every time :)
Have you ever tried this trick? Tell me what you think in the comments!

Ipsy October Glam Bag Review From Alixandria From ForeverAlixandria

2013-10-25T17:38:00.001-04:00

Hello Darlings! My name is Alixandria and I have a Instagram Blog called ForeverAlixandria. I am beyond thrilled and privileged to be writing Ipsy reviews for Peachy Queen :) .

Let's get started!

The October Ipsy bag contained

1. Zoya Nail polish in "Mason"

This color is perfect for fall and this polish applies lovely.

2. La Fresh Oil-Free Facial Cleanser

I have already used all these makeup wipes! They took off my eye makeup with ease.

3. StyleSexyHair Spray Clay

This did not do too much for my longer hair, however this gave my mother (who has short hair) much texture and volume!

4. Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics

I adore the pigmentation of this eyeshadow. I received the color Navy, it isn't for me , but I know a few people it would look amazing on.

5. Coastal Scents Medium shadow brush

I love this brush! Seriously, I have been using it daily, it works perfect to pack eyeshadow onto your eyelids. I am actually picking this over my MAC brush lately, so that says something!

This bag was defiantly a good one. I really enjoyed everything I was scent and the items I can't see myself using, I can pass on to others who will.

Ipsy is a great way to discover new brands and expand your makeup collection. The cost is ten dollars a month and this includes shipping, a cute makeup bag and four to five makeup products. Ipsy is great about sending full size or deluxe samples, so you always will get your money's worth and more. If you would like to join, just click on the link below and it will take you right there. I hope you have a amazing day darlings!

Brit's Beauty Corner|Beauty Review: Shine Like A Celeb

2013-09-30T23:43:00.002-04:00

Greetings beauties! This week, I am excited to introduce you to a fabulous new product that I’ve been pampering myself with over the past few days. This amazing new find is a luxurious body cream straight from the United Kingdom, by Shine Like a Celeb. When I happened to come across the @shinelikeaceleb Instagram account, I was immediately impressed with the high quality packaging that their product came in. Their beautiful jars, which are produced in Barcelona, are an accessory in their own right. Classically designed and channeling the feel of old Hollywood glamour, they make a beautiful addition to your vanity. I don’t know about you ladies, but I am a sucker for gorgeous packaging!

At the mailbox about a week later, I tossed aside the bills and went straight for the package with international postage. I couldn’t wait to see for myself if this product would measure up to the company’s name and I wasn’t disappointed! Upon opening the impressive looking box, I found the jar to be even more beautiful up close and personal than it was in its pictures. When I unscrewed the lid and opened the jar, the delicious fragrance was a welcomed surprise. Smoothing a bit on my hands, I was very happy with how silky soft it made my skin. Last, but certainly not least, my pleasure with this product was made complete when I saw the beautiful glow that my skin took on whenever it came into contact with a light source.

I soon found myself slathered in Diamond Sparkle Cream from head to toe, relishing in the intoxicating fragrance and checking myself out from every angle to see the sheen on my skin. Never let it be said that this girl half-steps anything, when I try something new I go for the gold! During this process of bathing in beauty cream, I learned about another bonus to Shine Like a Celeb’s product – no matter how much you use, it remains subtle. This is a huge plus for someone like me who suffers from habitually dry skin. If you love the product like I do, and I’m sure you will, you will find that you can moisturize your whole body without looking like you just went toe to toe with a family sized tub of glitter.

Once I pulled myself away from every mirror in my house, I took a little more time to read the paperwork that joint brand owner Ali Mustafa included for me to read. I was jazzed to read about the skin-nourishing ingredients that are included in this cream on top of the glitz and glam. It has vitamins A, B, C and E which are all great for restoring collagen, elasticity and reducing the effects of stretch marks. Gals, this is truly a win win in my book, are you sold yet?

After all the compliments on my glowing décolletage and overall softness of my skin after just 4 days of use, I am a fan for life of this wonderful product. Not only will this be perfect on those special nights out clubbing or on date night, but I will also be using it in my makeup kit to give that celebrity shine to all of my beautiful brides. This is definitely a quality product through and through that I know will not disappoint!

To order Shine Like a Celeb’s “Diamond Sparkle Body Cream” visit their website at www.shinelikeaceleb.com. You can also follow them on Instagram and Twitter @ShineLikeACeleb and on Facebook at facebook.com/shinelikeaceleb.

Stay tuned for my next article ladies, this one will be a tutorial on achieving perfect winged eyeliner. Also, in case you hadn’t noticed due to the fact that you were SO eager to read my latest blog post (lol) Peachy Queen Boutique has some FAB new products for Fall available in their store, so be sure to check them out and gear up for the new season!

Until next time darlings, don’t forget where that true inner glow and beauty comes from!

Yours Truly,

Brit

Brit's Beauty Corner|Eye Shadow Primer Review|Brittany McClelland

2013-09-16T19:42:00.003-04:00

Hello and welcome to the Fall season! This is one of my absolute favorite times of year. The weather is finally starting to cool off; shopping is in full effect for a new cold-weather friendly wardrobe; it’s “cuffing season” which means movie nights in with your significant other. What I also enjoy about this time of year is the ability to experiment with bolder makeup looks, since your makeup melting on your face isn’t as big of a concern as it was during Summer. When going for fun, statement eye shadow looks, it’s imperative to start with a good eye shadow base or primer so that the pigments “pop” as much as possible. For this week’s blog, I am reviewing two shadow primers with two different price points, so that no matter what your budget you can get the most out of your favorite eye shadows.

The two primers I am going to discuss are very similar to each other, same color and basic consistency, and of course they both serve the same purpose.

The first is MAC Cosmetics Prep+Prime Eye in “Medium Dark”

The second primer is NYX Cosmetics Eye Shadow Base in “Skin Tone”

Fortunately for my divas on a budget, neither one of these products will break the bank; however there is a noticeable difference in their price points – MAC rings up at $19 whereas NYX is only $7! Both of these products do the exact same thing, but there are some key differences worth noting.

Starting with MAC Prep+Prime, I noticed that although it has a creamy consistency, it quickly dries to a powder once applied to the eyelid. The upside to this is that because of the cream to powder properties, it doesn’t transfer or crease as easily once applied. The downside, however, is that since it doesn’t stay as “tacky” or sticky, eye shadow doesn’t stick to the primer as well which I felt lessened the intensity of my shadow color. It did allow the color to pop considerably more than just applying shadow to an unprimed lid and there was no problem with the creasing after wearing for a while.

Next, I tried NYX Eye Shadow Base. This is also a cream primer, but unlike its MAC counterpart, it remains quite creamy and tacky after applying. This allowed the color to really stick and reach a bright intensity. However, it was very easy for the primer to easily transfer to other parts of my eye and it started to crease almost immediately. After wearing for a while, my eyelids took on a “greasy” look and feel. My shadow just didn’t hold up very well for all day use.

After working with both of these products, I found that both had their pros and cons. Overall, I felt the superior product was MAC Prep+Prime. My personal reasons for leaning more towards this product were its staying power and the fact that it didn’t cause my makeup to crease. This is not to say that NYX isn’t a good alternative if budget is a factor. NYX provided the best color boost, however it didn’t hold out until the end of the day. If I were working on a photo shoot and new that I would be changing the models eye shadow frequently, I would go with NYX as it makes your shadow look better and brighter than MAC. If I were working with a bride, however, I would definitely go with MAC as it stands the test of time.

I hope that this review has been helpful to you, my readers. Keep in mind that what was reviewed today is only scratching the surface as there are many other primers out there on the market. This article only serves as a starting point, but I encourage you to experiment and find what works best for you personally. Lastly, just as I reminded you last week – all of the product in the world will only serve as an enhancement. The most beautiful thing we all posses is our hearts; be sure to work on your inner beauty before you focus on the outer!

Until Next Time,

Brit
