Too Faced {GIVEAWAY} 1000+ FANS!!

It's FINALLY time for the Too Faced Cosmetics Giveaway!!
First I want to tell you about the prizes you will be entering to win. Glamour Gloss in the most popular color Plush is one of my favorite glosses ever! There are natural rice lipids and dehydrated marine spheres in it that work directly with the body's hydration system to collect moisture and plump your lips. It's a comfort plump so it won't hurt. It feels like nice cool air blowing on your lips. 
This gloss also has a combination of Omega 3,6, and 9, natural vitamin E, Jojoba and avocado oils that are used to hydrate and moisturize lips making them look younger. It's great for firming those lips!
Cost is $19.
The second goodie in this giveaway is what I call the "Fluffer." Lashgasm mascara does just that. It is a voluptuous, fluffing mascara that conditions as it thickens to create dramatically long lashes with intense color. Our unique, flexible molded brush grabs lashes from all sides for a climax of length volume. It has multiple rows of flexible but firm,molded bristles that are designed with micro-hooks that grab each and every lash for a clump-free application. It is water-resistant and can be used alone for a dramatic lash or can be paired up with Lash Injection for a full dramatic, darker than dark lash. I personally use both of these together. 
Cost $21.

The final piece in this giveaway is the Primed and Poreless Powder. It turns any foundation into high definition makeup.It's silky, translucent finishing powder adjusts to any skin tone while minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines. This weightless powder can be worn alone, or under and over foundation to prep skin, lockdown makeup and control shine for a complexion smoothing, flawless finish. It's colorless so anyone can wear it. I wear this one because I have oily skin and the powder helps keep my foundation on. Plus you gotta love that it makes pores appear smaller. 
Cost $28.

Again I use all of these myself. I love them and I use them on my brides too. The total cost for this package is $68 (without tax). I am happy to give it to you in this giveaway!

I want to thank all of you for helping me reach over 1000 fans! You rock! 

Now for how to enter the giveaway!! Please do the following to enter and post a SEPARATE comment for each task you do. Thanks!

CLOSED.....Z Palette {Giveaway}

It's that time of year and I have the best gift to give you gals!!!
I like to try new things and see how well they work for me, then share with you gals. I have a Z Palette myself and I use it when I go to do makeup. I have TONS of eyeshadows and blush and desperately need something to help me condense all my goodies. I have 2 MAC palettes and want to try the UNII Cosmetics palette now.

For this blog entry we are going to be talking about experiences with the Z Palette.
I have been researching this product all over the internet as well as using it myself.

My experience has been good thus far. I like that I can see my colors through the top where with others I have to open it and hope the color I want inside is the one I picked up.
I love the patterns. I have the leopard printed one.
In my palette I have lots of different pans. MAC, Mary Kay, eye shadows, and blushes. I am still working on de-potting my other cosmetics.
I have been able to fit a lot of pans into the palette. I must have at least 20 in one Z Palette.

Somethings I read about that people didn't like were that is is made of cardboard. Don't want to get it wet. It's not the cardboard you are thinking exactly though. Not the kind that's cheap from a box you ship stuff in.
I have seen girls complaining about the pans not staying put. This problem I had only with my MAC eyeshadows that I de-potted. I fixed that problem easy as pie. I went to Wal-Mart and bought the magnetic sheets for $0.97. Just cut it into a square and remove the sheet and stick it to the back. Now they stay just fine.

My next venture is to go to IKEA and get a holder for all the Z Palettes that I will have soon. =) This product (click on the link) you can paint and decorate however you want and it will hold your Z Palettes.
The link above is for a DVD rack and this one HERE is for a CD rack. Both will fit Z Palettes.

Follow instructions below to win your own set of Z Palettes. The prize is ONE large leopard and ONE small zebra palette. You get BOTH!

COMMENT separately for each entry!! 

1. Leave me a comment about your experience with a Z Palette if you have one. If you don't have one, tell me why you would want one. 

2. Become a FAN of Z Palette on Facebook.

3. Become a FAN of j & a {makeup artistry} on Facebook. (Under the name Beauty By Janea). 

4. Become a FOLLOWER of this blog.

5. Blog about this blog or share it by tagging "Beauty By Janea" on Facebook to let people know about the {GIVEAWAY}. Come back here and let me know you did it or add the link to the blog.


Winner will be announced FRIDAY the 17th!! 

Good luck to ALL of you!!! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and I will try and get this mailed to the winner in time to get it for Christmas.

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.
Want extra chances to win? Here's how!

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
