Engagement ring created by my fiancé Grant & me at Newton's Jewelers in Joplin, MO
Right-hand ring was a graduation gift from my dad & purchased in Ireland

What makeup I am wearing in the video:

Face: Estee Lauder double wear foundation, Rimmel bronzer for contour, Mac Style powder blush on cheeks
Eyes: Kat Von D Saint & Angeles palette (I promise to do a tutorial soon), NYX super skinny eye marker for liner, Maybelline Falsies Flared Waterproof mascara

Will was the most incredible person I've ever known. He was so passionate, caring, genuine, compassionate, polite, responsible, loving, kind, accepting, & all around fun. I wish I could be more like him. He was the most amazing brother anyone could ever ask for and even though I only got to be his sister here on earth for 18 years, they were the best 18 years you could ever imagine. Plus, we get to spend eternity together in heaven! I can't wait to see him again. I hope you'll go watch his videos (YouTube.com/Will) so you can see the truly incredible person he was.

Jordan Howerton sang a few of Will's favorite songs:
Blessed Be Your Name

How to Inexpensively Start/Expand Your Makeup Collection

2011-04-16T17:00:00.002-05:00

Ways to save money when buying cosmetics (or any personal care item):

Use coupons & combine them with store sales for maximum savings
Always look for coupon codes when you make a purchase online
Enter giveaways on YouTube & blogs (can also enter contests on Facebook by liking certain brands)
Swap makeup you don't use with a friend/family member

A few examples of what I bought this week as well as the coupons/deals used for each:

I bought all of these things at Target (top row) and Ulta (bottom row).

Ulta

I used a $3.50 off $10 purchase coupon so I had to make sure my purchase totaled $10
The Physician's formula matte eyeshadow palette was $6.69 & I used a $5 off any Physician's formula product so this ended up being $1.69
Ulta was having a 40% off sale on Nyx this week so each of the 2 jumbo lip pencils were $2.69 apiece (normally $4.50 apiece), the Nyx lipstick was $2.39 (normally $4.00)
I had to buy the trial sized body wash for $0.69 to get my total to $10 & not go over by very much (it was on sale from $1.25)
Total came to: $10.15 & I used my $3.50 off a purchase of $10 coupon so I ended up paying $6.65 before tax
I paid: $6.65, Retail value: $20.94 (68% off)

Target

I had a $1.50 off 2 NYC products coupon. NYC nail polishes are $0.97 apiece at Target so after the coupon I only paid $0.44 for both so they were $0.22 per bottle.
The Physician's Formula eye makeup remover was $4.24 & I had another $5 any Physician's Formula purchase so I used that & it ended up being free.
I had a $0.75 off any pack of Orbit gum that I printed from the Target website. The gum retailed for $0.99. I got it for $0.24
I paid: $0.68 before tax, Retail value: $7.17 (91% off)

I bought all of these things at Walgreens & Target.

Walgreens

I had 2 coupons for the Clean & Clear body wash (1 Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon from the Sunday paper & 1 $2 any C&C product coupon from the C&C website). The body wash was $5.99 a bottle regularly so after the B1G1F coupon & the $2 off coupon I only paid $2 per bottle or $4 total for both bottles when it would have been $12 without the coupons.
Walgreens had a special this week for Buy 1 Get 1 Free Schick Hydro products. The shave gel was normally $4 per bottle so I used 2 $1 off coupons I printed from Schick's Facebook page. Therefore, I only paid $2 total or $1 per bottle. Retail value: $8
The Carefree pads were on sale at Walgreens for $0.99. You get a Register Reward (a gift card you can use on your next purchase at Walgreens) for $0.99 so it was free.
I paid: $6.99 . Retail value $20.99

Target

The Dove body was was on the clearance rack for $3.48 & I had a $1 off coupon from the Sunday paper so it was $2.48. Retail value: $5
The Listerine mouthwash was on clearance for $1.48. Retail value: $3
The Suave shampoo was on sale for $1.84 a bottle & I had a 2 $1 off a bottle of men's Suave haircare. I paid $1.68. Retail value: $3.68
I paid: $5.64 . Retail value: $11.68

How to get the most out of using coupons:

Make sure you know what different stores' coupon policies are

Sometimes you can stack a store's coupon with a manufacturer's coupon on the same item (it will say at the top Manufacturer's coupon if it is)
Some sites where you can print coupons online

Coupons.com
RedPlum.com
SmartSource.com

Look in your Sunday paper for coupons to clip
Always look at weekly ads on the stores' websites every week so that you can see if their sales match up with the coupons you have

Spring/Summer Trends 2011

2011-04-07T20:19:00.001-05:00

So I shot a video showing great spring trends & how you can make them wearable, but I didn't like it so I'm just going to post this instead :)

Prints worn together-- leopard with stripes with plaid with polka dots. You can basically pull off pairing tons of patterns together.

http://www.elle.com/Fashion/Fashion-Spotlight/ELLE-Shops-Mixed-Prints

Wear tons of bright colors together as well. This is great to carry into the summer months as well.

http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/trends/articles/colorful-spring-trends#fbIndex1

Well guys, it looks like rompers are in for another season. Try buying these in bright colors or crazy patterns and pairing them with a colorful scarf or feather earrings to switch it up a little bit.

Rompers from Forever 21: http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=jumpsuit_romper&page=all&promotype=1

It just wouldn't be spring without florals. So again, like every spring, you cannot go wrong with florals. Try dainty flowers or light pink for a feminine touch. You can always add masculine details if you're feeling too girly!

Here are some of my favorites from Urban Outfitters

looks like nude footwear is also still "in" heels or flats... you can't go wrong with nude. After all, it goes with absolutely everything. Another plus is that it makes your legs look uber long!

I love this pair of heels from Steve Madden: http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=52988&np=127_282-136_394 (check them out in Blush Patent & Nude colors)

I think denim on denim is a cool trend as well. It's very 80s, which I love. Wear a light denim button up top tucked in to dark skinny denim jeans. Wear with a light brown belt to top it off or add a red belt for a splash of color.

Try this shirt from Urban Outfitters: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=80&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=20239729x&parentid=W_APP_BLOUSES&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority&navCount=1250&navAction=poppushpush&color=&pushId=W_APP_BLOUSES&popId=W_TOPS&prepushId=&selectedProductSize=

Maxidresses were so last summer so maxi SKIRTS are so this summer. Pair with a plain tank top or flowy blouse it's your choice!

Check these out from Forever 21: http://www.forever21.com/search.asp?keyword=maxi%20skirt

Horizontal stripes are a great staple for your spring/summer wardrobe
High waisted jeans & bottoms are also very in style. Make sure you tuck your top in though so everyone can see those high waisters!

Loving these from 7 For All Mankind: http://www.7forallmankind.com/Denim_Women_High_Waist/pl/c/5167.html

Trouser jeans are great to dress up absolutely any outfit also!

These are awesome from Rich & Skinny: http://www.richandskinnyjeans.com/Island_Trouser_Jean__River_Rinse/pd/np/30/p/1215.html

Hello platform shoes! Plus, if you're short this is perfect for you to look taller, not to mention it will make anyone's legs look 10 miles long.

Eyeliner Review: Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Trio

2011-04-06T13:13:00.001-05:00

My package is for blue eyes, but these trios are made for blue, green, hazel, and blue eyes. On a side note, I bought these at Target for $4.99 so you might be able to still find them there for that price. On the Physician's Formula website it states that they are $10.99 and at my Walmart they were $9.99.

What I am wearing:

Green shirt from Forever 21
Cross/Ball gold necklace from Forever 21
Silver/Gold watch Jacques Lemans
Earrings from Forever 21
Sinful Colors Professional nail polish in Savage

Makeup I am wearing:

Face: Mac Pro Longwear NC 25 foundation, ELF Blush from brozner/blush duo, Rimmel translucent powder, Rimmel Natural Bronzer for contour
Eyes: Physician's Formula black eyeliner, Mac eyeshadows: Wedge, All That Glitters, Brown Down, Mac Haute & Naughty Mascara
Lips: Mac Creme d'Nude lipstick
