CLOSED...{GIVEAWAY} Go Pink!!! Be aware of your boobs and cancer!!!

So this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's not something I personally have had to deal with personally. I think we tend to support causes that we are close to or have meaning to us. This was a challenge I gave myself to get more involved even if it's for just a month. 
Domestic Violence is something I have been working on to help people be aware of it so I gave myself a challenge to learn something new since this month is Awareness Month for both of these causes. 

I challenge you to find out more about breast cancer. I even did something simple as looking at images of breast cancer. It made it more real to me. To see the pain and problem that breast cancer can cause women. 

A dollar from everyone would be such a huge help so I encourage you to donate as well. 
La Purse has given me the opportunity to encourage and entice you to be more aware of breast cancer and help others to be aware of it to by giving away not one scarf, but TWO to my followers and fans!

There will be actually a THIRD scarf to win, but only for those who are attending the Live Life Well Expo. 
 
From my fan page on Facebook you can enter the giveaways.  We will do TWO giveaways from here and there. 
I will list the contest/giveaway rules underneath each scarf and that's the scarf you will enter to win. You of course can enter to win both!! 
The Two-Toned Reversible scarf will be chosen by how many posts/tags are on our fan page with your name in it.
The ruffle scarf contest winner will be picked by random.org. 

The beautiful two toned scarf contest is as follows:
Head over to j & a {makeup artistry} fan page (formally Beauty By Janea) and tell me who sent you to my page. So if you are a fan of ours please encourage your friends to come and post that "____your name here (tagging helps)____ helped save my tatas!" 
The more your name is posted the better chance you have to win.


This contest is going hand in hand with the first contest. You are helping your friends save their tatas by entering this next contest. 
For this contest I want you to research Breast Cancer and share something you have found out about it that you didn't know before, or an experience you have had with breast cancer. Share something related to breast cancer to help educate someone else to enter to win.

Are you Too Faced?

I am so excited to announce that I am going to be a product specialist for Too Faced here in Fort Myers, Florida and once there are more stores open in Naples, I will go there too. I have 3 stores I go to. Two Ulta's and one Sephora.
I used to work for Ulta before and during my pregnancy with my youngest Jemma. I loved working there and the girls are awesome! I am very excited to see them more again now.
When I worked at Ulta I loved the Too Faced brand. I am so thrilled I was referred and recommended to be the rep for this area for them.
I wanted to share one of the most popular makeup items on the market right now. This is called the Natural Eye kit. It has 3 sets of shadows for 3 different natural eye looks. 
Inside each kit is a set of cards to show you how to make the look work for you. You can't go wrong! It's an awesome kit that you can take with you wherever you go. Don't forget you can always add more colors to these looks. It's a great place to start if you are not a big eyeshadow girl like myself. 
Stop by and see me at Ulta in Coconut Point or Bell Tower. I also will be at the Sephora too in Coconut Point. Feel free to message me to find out which store I will be at. Can't wait to see you! I can do some makeup application for you as well! 
Head over to Too Faced website to see more of their awesome products!

Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection
What it is:
An all-inclusive kit that includes nine essential shadows for all-over lid color, highlighting, smudging, and more.

What it does:
The kit's contents were formulated and hand-selected by Too Faced Creative Director, Jerrod Blandino, to create the most universally flattering eyeshadow look for any woman and for almost any occasion. The pure-pigmented eyeshadow formula blends effortlessly and keeps color intense and in-place all day long. Plus, this perfectly portable palette of must-have neutrals comes with a double-sided brush/sponge wand in the pull-out tray provides easy application.

What else you need to know:
Three easy-to-follow "how-to" cards teach you everything you need to know to create the "perfect" natural eye.

Shades include: Heaven (matte ivory), Velvet Revolver (matte taupe), Sexspresso (matte deep brown), Silk Teddy (peach champagne shimmer), Push-Up (light bronze shimmer), Erotica (soft charcoal shimmer), Nude Beach (champagne shimmer with gold glitter), Honey Pot (gold shimmer), Cocoa Puff (warm chocolate brown shimmer)Size: 3 x 0.07 oz eye shadows/ 6 x 0.03 oz eyeshadows

Makeup Event Look Contest!

Amber and I wanted to do some kind of really fun makeup look for our event next weekend. We know how awesome you girls are and thought you would totally be able to give us some ideas that we could use to create something really cool to show off our skills. These are some of the looks we have received thus far. 
Since this is such a big deal for us we thought the prize should be a big deal too. So I have some MAC items in my goody bag that I would love to share with you! So we will pick a look and the winner gets the MAC prize. 
We would really love to see anything you gals can find. We only have until next Saturday until we have to have our look figured out for sure. The event is coming up so quickly. I have already headed to Joann's to grab some stuff to play with. 
Please show us your style and ideas!!!
Can't wait to see them!!

La Purse wants us at 700 fans!!!

Ladies this is an awesome privilege for us to get the opportunity to give you a free La Purse scarf. All we have to do it get to 700 fans. We are less than 40 away. I get to pick the scarf to give you. So I want you to head over to www.lapurse.com and let me know which one I should pick. 
Once we get to that 700 mark we can do a contest to giveaway the awesome scarf!!! I promise you gals will love their scarves. I love mine!! 
One thing I love about La Purse besides the gorgeous scarves is that they help you with how to wear them and style them. They have so many colors to choose from as well. I know lots of brides who want to have that something special for their bridesmaids. Well this is it!! A Pashmina scarf adds that pop of color you want for your wedding and it's a perfect gift for them as well. They can wear it again and again. 
For those of us in Florida it seems we don't need a scarf because of the hotness we feel down here. I can tell you that the light weight scarves are awesome and not too hot. The ones with the polka-dots are adorable and light weight too. They just bring that something extra to your outfit every time! 
So ladies, let me know which scarf you would want and list it below!! We will get to 700 fans soon so get me those scarf suggestions quick. Ask your friends to put their desired scarf choice here as well.
Thanks ladies!! I can't wait to get one of you a awesome scarf. If there is enough interest, I may even give you my scarf!! 
Love you all!!! 

See if we made it to 700 fans on Facebook. Click here!
