Thank you so much for stopping by today and checking out my last post for SP!  Although it has been short, this experience has been a creative and inspirational highlight that I will not soon forget!  Let’s keep supporting one another in the gallery! Love~Em

Happy Friday from the Shabby Shoppe!  It’s Beckie here with you again, and I’m ready to dish about some of my very favorite beauty products!  I’m kind of fickle and I love giving new things a try and I’m eager to share a few little gems here with you today :)

Starting off…we have my favorite cleansing and toning products!  I’m going to confess right now that I need a low maintenance cleansing routine – and the Olay 7-in-1 cleansing cloths perfectly fit the bill!  These cloths easily remove all my make-up and leave my skin cleansed and moisturized.  I follow it up with a few spritzes of the AMAZING botanical kinetics toning mist by Aveda.  It smells delightful and is very light and refreshing.  Together, these two items give me the quick and easy cleansing routine I need for my hectic schedule :)  And at just $8.99 for 30 cleansing cloths and $17 for the toning mist, I can come clean with a clear conscience over the cost :)

With the arrival of warmer weather, I made a  trip to Sephora with a girlfriend and we indulged in some new spring make-up!  I asked the associate to help me find a lightweight liquid foundation that would leave me looking fresh, healthy, and natural.  I also like having built-in SPF in my foundation, as I find myself outside in the harsh summer sun quite a bit with the kiddos.  I’ve been wearing my new makeup for about a month now – and I still love it!  First off, I got the Radiance primer by Laura Mercier.  I apply it to my cheeks, and it gives a subtle shimmer to my makeup finish.  (There’s a non-shimmer version available as well!).  And over the primer I apply LORAC Breakthrough Performance Foundation.  With SPF 15 and anti-aging ingredients, my skin feels fresh and healthy all day long.  Oh, and one really neat tip – the girl applied my foundation with a mineral powder brush.  The short, tight artificial bristles make it super easy to brush on consistent coverage.  You can use any artificial bristle kabuki/mineral powder brush, but I went with the Sephora brush.

The last time I talked make-up here on the blog, I mentioned the Nars Multiple…well, it’s still one of my favorites.  And I learned a new tip!  Not only can you apply the creamy color to your cheeks, you can apply it to your lips and cover it with clear gloss for a new look!

I recently had lunch with another girlfriend whom I hadn’t seen in several months.  I immediately noticed how youthful and healthy her skin looked and I asked her about it – although I was slightly dreading the answer because she has very expensive taste!   She started laughing and said “You’ll never guess…it’s Vaseline!”.  She said she puts it on her face before bedtime 2-3 times per week and had been doing so for several months.  She said it made a huge difference in the health of her skin – and from what I saw, I totally agree!  So out of curiosity, I googled Vasline and found several articles that also hailed the benefits of this quintessential beauty product.  Another great tip for Vaseline?  Mix your leftover lipstick with a little Vaseline to make your own lip gloss!  Best of all… you can pick up your very own tub of Vaseline for less than $2!

That’s all I have to share with you today!  I would LOVE it if you’d share some of your favorite products and beauty tips in the comments section!  If you’d like to take a peek into some of our other Shabby Artists’ Beauty Bags…CLICK HERE!  And I hope you all have a wonderful weekend…Jenelle will be with you on Monday for LOTW!

So there we are!  I apologize in advance for my editing of the photo(s)…because while *I* am that pale…these other two beauties are not…I just had a tough time with the lighting in the pic (but no complaints, because some very nice lady stopped to take the picture for us…and she was really sweet about it…thank you, kind stranger lol)!  Anyhoo…there we are!  Now, I also feel the need to explain my hair, rofl!  I know the girls will laugh at me…but seriously – it looked BAD!  It got RAINED-ON that morning and then I had a long drive and there was nothing I could do for it…so there ya go :o)  Of course…Beckie and I both went on and on about Kim’s PERFECT hair (no joke…it is perfection!)!  Moving on…

So, we had a wonderful lunch…and then did some walking/shopping to make up for it!  Fun stores like Anthropologie, Neiman Marcus, Banana Republic, Loccitane (yeah, all kinda posh…but fun to browse, lol) – as well as some fun and funky little boutique stores (always love those)!  While in Neiman’s…I had to pick up some Chanel foundation (which I am in LOVE with, by the way…it came highly recommended to me and I have to say…all of the raves were true!  kinda pricey…but it will last me FOREVER, lol)…and we thought it would be fun if Beckie and Kim got makeovers (I had on plenty of make-up myself, and NO WAY I was going to let them see me without any…even if only temporarily – hey, Kim DID have her camera…and although she certainly seemed as trustworthy as can be…I was taking NO chances, rofl)!  Well, when I was at the counter to pay for my purchase…we found out they ONLY take Neiman’s and AmEx cards…HUH?  Seriously…we couldn’t believe it…no debit cards!  THANK GOODNESS I had some cash on me (which I never have…but my sweet hubby who thinks of everything and worries about me going on long trips – had put some in my bag…thanks, sweetie!)!  So…yeah – the foundation is my pick from the day as I truly do love it!  And…if you are like me…and find yourself challenged by FOUNDATION (especially liquid makeup, on me – it always seems cakey, or it separates and just makes me look older…which I do NOT need)…it is worth a try!  But…good news – if you actually read through my entire post (thanks in advance if you make it that far, lol)…you’ll have THREE, glowing recommendations for THREE, totally unique foundations :o)  It really wasn’t the purpose of the post…but hey…it’s a great bonus, lolol!  It’s not often that *I* ‘hear’ about foundations that women actually love (I could easily list about 20 that I have tried and really, really disliked, lol)!

Anyway…after that, we decided no makeovers at Neiman’s!  And that could only mean one thing… we were headed to MAC!  lol!

So…there we found ourselves in the MAC store…with one of the sweetest make-up artists ever :o)  He was a lot of fun (and had AMAZING lashes!) and got started on Beckie first!  Kim and I were watching and laughing because he began only doing one side of her face…and we were wondering if we were going to have to walk around with her like that all afternoon, rofl!  Of course…he finished her off beautifully – and we even learned something about Beckie during that makeover!  The girl LOOOOOOOOOOVES sparkles, lol!  She will forever be ‘Beckie Sparkles’ to me now :o)  It was so cute!  Anyway – she was beautiful before…and even moreso after (did I mention that she has such a PRETTY smile and the PERFECT, high cheekbones?)!  K, so then it was Kim’s turn!  Her main focus was her eyes…she wanted them to POP!  Let’s just say…even without anything – they POP because they are the most beautiful shade of green (oh…and Beckie and I also decided that she must be around 12 years old…she truly doesn’t look a day older…yes, we hated her and loved her at the same time lolol)!  The talented artist guy did his magic on her as well…and she just glowed after he was finished!  Oh yeah, I should mention that they were both going for a very natural look – which worked very well for THEM (not so much for me…I simply NEED more, lol)!  Alright…none of this would be any fun with before and after pics, right?  So…here ya go (aren’t they GREAT sports?!!!)!

 CUTE CUTE CUTE!  And, I thought I’d share some of Beckie and Kim’s favorite buys from their MAC experience (I know Beckie has told me a couple of time how much she LOVES her foundation…it will be my next to try if the Chanel fails me one day, lolol)!  She REALLY loves it (she just told me again…and says she still wears it EVERY single day, which is a record for her…AND, best of all – it stays on all day)!  So…here are Beckie’s picks:

• Matchmaker Foundation - yep, this is the one she is loving – it covers great…looks super natural, and lasts all day!
• Viva Glam Lipstick (shade is VI) – she says that surprisingly, the lipstick was her fave buy of the day (she has convinced me to give it a try…even though I am a total gloss girl, lolol)
• Paint Pot in Bare Study
• Foundation Brush (she totally loves this as well!)

 And now we move on to Kim’s picks :o)  Like Beckie, she LOVES her new foundation (and it is completely different from what Beckie picked up) – but her faves from the day were the new eye shadows she purchased (and I agree…they looked awesome!)!  She told me that she had been sticking with beiges and browns and greens for a while…and is loving her new pinks and purples :o)  Isn’t it fun to try new stuff?  And…as a new mommy (well, for the 3rd time, lol)…I’d say she deserved some cosmetic FUN, right?!  So, here’s what she picked up…

• Studio Tech Foundation (creamy…and she loves it)!
• Eye Shadow in Star Violet (a gorgeous, plummy pinky brown, lol – VERY pretty)!
• Pro Longwear Eye Shadow in Plush (it really is a perfectly pretty purple!)

 After that…we did a little more walking and shopping and chatting (and yep, there’s me with my empty Starbuck’s cup, I LOOOOOVE the LITE salted caramel frap lol)…and then it was time to part ways :o( 

 I can’t tell you how much fun it was and how happy I was to meet a couple of the ‘girls’ in person!  Again…my dream would be to have the ENTIRE team get together one day…but I know that logistically…it’s not likely :o(  I will say that while I know that my long, lost sister Kylie was there in spirit…I certainly missed her!  She is such an integral part of the team and the blog…we just HAVE to MEET soon (yeah…she’s across the pond – but we’ll make it happen) :o)  LOL!  I feel so blessed with each and every member of the team…and even if we never meet face-to-face, the friendships are still quite ‘real’ and cherished!  You are ALL the BEST!  And, special thanks to Kim and Beckie for taking the time to meet-up…and for all of the fun and laughs :o)  XOXO –sp

First up we have my newest favorite thing…Aveeno positively nourishing whipped souffle body lotion.  It’s sooooo thick and creamy, more hydrating to the skin than the typical overly-perfumed lotions I’ve used in the past.  This one is just perfect:  the subtle fragrance of sweet vanilla and a thick and creamy texture that coats the skin with moisture.  It’s almost the best thing about my shower routine…but we’ll see more on that later!

It’s appropriate that next up on my list is a blusher…as it’s name alone can also evoke a slight blush to one’s cheeks :)  What you see here is the Nars Multiple in my favorite shade…*ahem*…Orgasm.  This wonderful little beauty stick has many purposes – on your cheeks it gives a wonderful peachy glow.  But you can also use it on your lips and your eye lids for a healthy subtle shimmer.  One stick will last forever (at least in my estimation – I haven’t finished one yet!).  I keep it in my purse at all times :)

The full heat of summer has fully descended upon us Northern Hemisphere girls – and in the Southern US where I live in particular, it is H-O-T!  I like to lighten up on my makeup during the summers.  I use a good tinted moisturizer (I LOVE the Aveda tinted moisturizer), the NARS multiple for a little color, and right now I’m loving this new Burt’s Bees Hibiscus tinted lip balm.  It’s creamy and smooth and perfect for that on-the-go summer lifestyle.  The moisturizers keep my lips soft and smooth and the subtle color is the perfect finishing touch to my light summer make-up.

And now it’s time for a confession…I have an addiction.  Well, I guess make that TWO addictions – since you already know about the digi-scrapping addiction I have, LOL. My second addiction is one to good old pens and paper.  I covet, collect, adore, and stockpile interesting and quality writing supplies.  Pictured above is a tried and true favorite of mine, a super high quality drafting pencil called the Alvin Draft Matic.  The metal grip is heavily textured to prevent slipping, and the quality metal fittings give this pencil wonderful weight in your hands.  I’ve been using this pencil (and previous versions of it) since I was in college!

One of my favorite sites for shopping for pretty little things to feed my addiction is Levenger.  *gush* I have several fountain pens, which if you’ve ever used them,you know they put out significantly more ink than a traditional pen.  Which is why I’m loving another new discovery, Rhodia heavy weight paper notebooks.  deee-lish!  :)  This one in particular is an absolute favorite of mine for work and has a really neat way to keep meeting notes and action items.  The paper is heavy weight – almost 4 times the thickness of some paper notebooks, which is essential to keep your ink from bleeding through the page.

ahh…something about smelling a new notebook and first writing with a beautiful new pen just makes me happy (someone please speak up and say you share my addiction??)  :)

Next up, I am loving the Repairing Shampoo by L’Occitane (pronounced Lox-E-tahn).  I innocently purchased a simple hand cream for my purse one evening when my hubby and I were browsing the nearby shopping area after dinner one night.  The sales girl slipped in a sample, to which I hardly paid any attention.  Darn it all if “that little sample” didn’t turn out to be THE BEST shampoo I’ve ever used!  My hair is not damaged, but it is thick and slightly wavy.  This shampoo and conditioner make my hair so incredibly soft and manageable and leave it with a wonderful smell that lasts throughout the day.  I’m hooked!  Ironically, when I went to purchase my shampoo, they gave me a sample of the Plum Blossom bath products, to which I’m also now addicted.  Better tell them to skip the samples if you don’t want to get sucked in, LOL :)

And finally, no post about things I love would be complete without mentioning my Kindle.  Ironically, I had no interest in getting one, even after my husband hinted that he was thinking of getting me one for Christmas.  I told him no, that I couldn’t see spending $10-$15 for a book often enough to make it worth having a $120 reading device.  So fast forward 5 months, when I learned that I would be doing a decent amount of business travel in the coming year or so, and I decided that a Kindle would be a great way to keep several books on hand in a light, portable format.  So I got one.

I love it!  There are thousands of “un-published” titles available, which are books not {yet} published in paper.  These books are cheap!  Many are just $.99 – $2.99.  Of course, all the popular books are available too.  I’ve probably read 20 books already on my Kindle, I find that if I keep it in my (admittedly large) purse I read when I have a few spare minutes.  And when I travel it’s just perfect!  I read fast so I need to have several books with me to keep me going.  (The kindle holds up to 3,500 books).

Just recently I downloaded a murder mystery that stars a scrapbooking heroine!  I generally read for fun (translated: mindless fiction), but I did get the classic Sherlock Holmes mysteries also.  They were free!  All books more than 75 years old are past copyright protection and are available for free.  The battery lasts forever (several weeks of heavy reading, longer with just light reading).

So if you do read a lot, or wish you could read more, definitely check out the Kindle.  And if you already have one – link me up to your fave books! I love mysteries and thrillers :)

~~**~~

Well, that does it for me!  I hope you enjoyed a peek into the things I love right now.  I can’t wait to see what you guys have to share!  And, be sure to visit again tomorrow as we share June’s project SCRAP templates!

When I’m buying beauty products, I have to look for two things…low cost and products that can be tolerated by my sensitive skin.  I mean super sensitive! I think at one point I tried every make-up base our local discount store carried.  So, I am more than happy to be able to share with you some of my favorite finds that are easy on your face and that won’t break your budget.

I always start my routine with a layer of moisturizer.  My favorite at the moment is Purpose Moisture Lotion available at Wal-Mart, Target or drug store chains.

For my foundation I use Everyday Minerals Original Glo Formula available on-line. There are four foundation choices available for every type of skin. After trying another brand of mineral make up in the past I was really skeptical that this would work for me.  But, I ordered a free sample ($5 for shipping) and was shocked when I ended up loving it.  If you have dry skin like me, be sure and put a moisturizer on first.  Also, the last thing I do is get my brush a tiny bit damp and brush lightly under my eyes to remove any powdery look.

For color on my face I use Everyday Minerals Cheek.

For my eyes I use Everyday Minerals eye color in Hot Chocolate,

 Covergirl Perfect Point Eye liner in Charcoal, and Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara by Maybelline, that I tested thoroughly last June at my daughter’s wedding.

And lastly, if I’m dressing up, a light, natural feeling lip color,  Burt’s Bee’s Lip Shimmer.

I hope I’ve helped anyone else out there with super sensitive skin by giving you a little peak inside my make-up bag.  Check back tomorrow for a fun hybrid post by Denise!

 On various online shopping excursions, I’ve spied lots of my favorite color (okay, one of my favorite colors. I can’t really commit to just one. Moving on…). Here are a few of the items that have caught my eye.

As much I love red, I was really intriqued by that fabric swatch & wanted to create a color palette based on this combo. I  love how the cool, sky blue tones down the heat of the red. The vibrant yellow brightens the palette & keeps it from becoming “muddy”. The sage green provides a bit of calm and the dark brown grounds it all. Although quite vivid, it is very much a “natural” palette (earth, wind & fire).

With my color scheme established, this is the layout I created.  In order to keep it balanced, I tried to assign about the same “ratios” of colors as my theme swatch. Although I am focusing on red, it can quickly overpower the other colors.

 And here is my credit list:

Brown  & Blue paper~ Believe

Red Damask paper, red stitches, red heart tag~ Sweetie Pie

Green paper~ Damask & Dots

White paper~ Hopscotch

Green & yellow flowers, yellow buttons, string with green buttons, red heart stitch, yellow scroll (recolored)~ Clementine 

If you’re interested in reading more about the symbolism of the color red, I found this article to have some interesting tidbits. There are oodles more, of course. I hope that this has post has you inspiRED & seeing red, lol! Don’t miss tomorrow’s post with Kathy, as she rolls out the “red carpet” for this week’s product spotlight. Okay, I’ll stop now.  Have a wonderful week & happy scrappin!

Hi all, SP here :o)  Monday’s are generally reserved for some kind of beauty/fashion inspiration…so I thought I’d go along those lines, with a new ad inspiration challenge!!  We’ve had one of these before…and I enjoyed it so much!  I love taking inspiration from the beauty and fashion world…and well, i guess the pickle world, too, lol!  I’m sure many of you have seen (or participated in) AD INSPIRATION scraps before!  They used to be a favorite of mine…I loved having that little bit of a jump start to a layout…and I really enjoyed interpreting an ad in my own way.  Not to mention, it sure was fun to see how everyone else ’saw’ it, too :o)  I find it difficult anymore to look through a magazine without seeing all of the similarities with scrapbooking, lol!  Fonts, page design, colors – they all catch my eye and bring my brain right back to scrapping and how well they would translate to a scrapbook page lol!

The first thing that caught my eye with this ad…was the rounded corners and super cool (and huge) shape of the graphic!  I am a sucker for rounded corners, lol!  I thought it might be a challenge to scrap with this shape (and it was, at first, lol)…but also love a challenge and decided to go with it.  I always appreciate having dedicated spaces for journaling…and the little pickle jar and plate of pickles lend themselves so well to a small clustering of elements.  So anyway – this is the one I went with and I hope you enjoy it!

Of course, I had to create a template to share with you guys (see below for download link), lol!  When working with the template (or any inspiration, for that matter) – keep in mind that you do not have to be ‘literal’ with your interpretation!  Perhaps you are inspired by the colors – or maybe the ad makes you want to journal on top of your photo – or, you could just like the idea of the rounded corner squares :o)  Be creative and have fun!

First – let’s get to the template…CLICK HERE to download it (or you can click the graphic below)…

And, here’s a better look at the ad…

And, while I have had this ad saved for a while…I haven’t had time to work on the template…until the last minute!  As a result, the team didn’t get this in advance (they are seeing it at the same time you are, lol)…so you are stuck with two layouts of mine, lol!  I went in totally different directions!  Here’s the first (I worked with the Darling Paper Collection, Giggle Box, Hopscotch, An Affair to Remember and Sprout…I think that’s it, lol)…

and the other (I worked with An Affair to Remember, Clementine, Sprout and Giggle Box)…

Whew, I think that’s it :o)  I hope that you guys have fun working with the template…and that you post your layouts in the Shoppe’s gallery for all of us to see!

I also wanted to mention that the BLOG will be taking a TWO WEEK VACATION for back-to-school from August 30th through September 12th :o)  That’s a couple of weeks away…but I wanted to go ahead and let ya know!  I know that school starts at different times all over the country and world…and I’m sorry if we didn’t get yours in the two week window…we really tried :o)

THANKS AGAIN – have a great week!

Hi this is Anna and this is my first post on The Shabby Shoppe Blog. 

I love the lazy days of summer and one of my favorite things to do is to sit by the pool reading a magazine (it just doesn’t happen often enough.) In fact, my heart flutters a bit when I open my mailbox and see a crisp new magazine ready to be read at the pool.  I am a magazine junkie! 

I love flipping through the pages and being inspired.  Since Mondays are generally reserved for some sort of beauty/fashion inspiration, I thought I would share a magazine I was browsing over recently and what it inspired me to create. 

When I looked at this cover,  I loved it!   I asked myself, “Why do I love it so much?”  I started listing the reasons. 

1 – I loved the pattern of the model’s blouse. It reminded me of a paper in The Shabby Shoppe’s Blossom Collection 

2 -I loved the color palette.  The fuchsia and the blues and yellows were so striking. 

3 – The pops of yellow were a favorite.  I’ve always loved flowers so the brushed yellow flower in the corner immediately caught my eye. I noticed that the yellow followed a triangular pattern which really leads the eye around the page. 

Guess what? All of these observations inspired me to scrap!!! Yeah – I love it when that happens! 

I started with a flower in one corner, added that fun “Blossom”  paper and followed  inspiration from a  layout on Ali Edwards blog. All of the supplies on this layout came from The Shabby Shoppe’s Blossom Collection 

That’s how I came up with my “Party Til You Prune” layout! 

Here’s a little extra from our day at the pool. 

Raging Waters 2010

Thanks a bunch for stopping by – check back in tomorrow for a new product spotlight from Kylie :o)

Right after high school, I went to school to become a hair dresser and worked briefly doing hair and make up for photography and weddings.  Shortly after, I went back to university for a degree in Communications, but have spent the years since pursuing the perfect beauty products…and I am excited to share with you a handful of my faves.

Let’s start with a clean slate…or face… and talk about skin care.  I was a looong time Lancome fan, and still love their products, but about 4 years ago, I got hooked on a skin care line called Arbonne.  Their NurtriMin C RE9 anti aging skin care line is amazing, and I was an instant devotee from the first time I tried it.  I love how it leaves my skin feeling, and the clean citrus scent is heavenly.  Their Swiss formulated products are all natural, made from botanicals and have some wonderful and unique anti-aging properties.  You can see the full line of Arbonne products here.

Next up on my top pics list is a line called Make Up Forever, a French company that has been around since 1984, but has only emerged in the main stream in the last several years.  Make Up Forever has been widely used in theatre, film and broadcast and is best known for its use the Cirque de Soliel productions.  I have been cursed with dark circles under my eyes and have tried every concealer known to man.  Their HD Invisible Cover Concealer is hands down the best concealer on the market, in my humble opinion.  It is a full coverage product that is not cakey and does not streak.  The silicone applicator allows a smooth application with a small amount of product. 

Make Up Forever HD Liquid Foundation is another favorite in my arsenal. It is a full coverage light weight foundation designed for use with High Definition cameras, but you don’t have to be behind a camera to reap the benefits of this fabulous product.  I love the flawless appearance this product offers…Lord knows I need it!!!  Lastly, I love the staying power of Make Up Forever’s Aqua Lip Waterproof Lip Liner.  My favorite shade is Nude Beige 1C.  All of the Make Up Forever products are available at Sephora.

It is really important to “set“ a liquid foundation with a translucent powder.  Some powders on the market can be heavy and cause your face to look cakey and too heavy.  I LOVE to pair my foundation with one of 2 light and FUN powders from the Benefit line.  Most often I use the Georgia pressed powder which has a subtle peachy tint AND scent.  I am always impressed with how it alone makes my skin glow, and it doesn’t hurt that it is named for my home state…and that my husband’s nickname for me is “Peach”…LOL!  Alternately, I also really like Benefit’s Dandelion powder which has a pink-ish hue and sweet smell to match.  They are sure to perk up your face and set your foundation like a dream.

I am SO fussy about mascara, because I have the puniest scraggly eyelashes in the world.  Thank heavens that my kids got their Daddy’s gorgeous long lashes.  I have used Lancome’s Definicils mascara for years but recently discovered Benefit’s Badgal mascara which is a drier application and separates my lashes more effectively.  If you have puny lashes like me, give this product a try…I think you’ll like it.  You can also find Benefit products at Sephora or most any department store cosmetics counter.

Last but CERTAINLY not least is my most favorite lip gloss on the planet…Bath and Body Works Liplicious Pink Grapefruit.  I have used it for years and have about 4 tubes on the go at any given time.  I keep one in my make up bag, one in my purse, one in the car, and one on my desk.  I am A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D…seriously.  I’m sure that not every husband knows what lipstick or lip gloss their wife uses,  but ask my husband or my kids, and they can all tell you…I LOVE IT!

I hope you’ve enjoyed a sneak peak into my make up bag…and I hope you’ll go out and try one or all of these awesome products, I think you’ll be just as impressed as I have been.  I have been depending on my “full coverage” products to work over time for me this week (and next) while I’m back home in Georgia for a visit with my family.  Traveling alone with all three monkeys has been interesting to say the least, but thanks to my make-up partners, I’m still fresh faced despite being dog tired…LOL!  Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

If there is that one particular dearly loved item that you feel needs to be documented, why don’t you show us? Think of it as a little “getting to know you” exercise!

Don’t miss SP’s new desktop for AUGUST (below), and tomorrow, Denise will be back with a new product spotlight :o)
