February Subscription Saturday

Welcome to my second Subscription Saturday Linkup!!  This months glam bag was all about the RED CARPET!  This fun little bag smelled like summer...and only because the bag was made out of the same material floaties are made from! haha!

Anyway, this bag gave me a fun tutorial idea for this Tutorial Tuesday!!

Here's what was in the bag!

1.  Lash Card These little numbers are a new tool to be added with your brushes and applicators.  It apprently helps you have no running and smudging of your mascara.  We will see =)  They offer a buy 2 get one free as their extra!
2. Pixi Flawless & Poreless primer.  Give me a new primer any day! I love trying new primers!  In addition to the primer we can also take 20% off our order! SCHWEET!
3.  MICA Beauty Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner.   Okay so I am starting to have a huge addiction to eyeliners period, and this is enabling the addition even more!  In addition to this super silky liner, we get an addition 30% off our purchase!  WOWZA!
4. POP Beauty Smokey Lash Kapow mascara.  Another great product I would love to try!  I love to try mascaras too!  POP Beauty is also offering 20% off to ipsy subscribers! =)
5. Coastal Scents Glitz and Glamour eyeshadow palette.  My palette came with Candlelight, Gunmetal, Incognito, & Ashen.  A fabulous set of colors and an awesome discount of 25% too! I'm excited to try this palette since I have heard a lot about Coastal Scents but have yet to try their products.

Manicure Monday Linkup 2/4/2013

Fashion Friday - Look 4 Le$$, Katherine McPhee

Oh we have made it to FRIDAY!!  This weeks Fashion Friday linkup I decided to do another Look 4 Le$$ post b/c I absolutely love trying to find great looks for under $100!!  The February Lucky magazine cover girl was the gorgeously tall, sultry brunette known only as Katherine McPhee!  All of her photos were fabulous, but this simple outfit she wore in her photo shoot sent me in to a frenzy! I absolutely love the skater skirt and crop top combo on her.  So I set out to find the look for less & voila! This is what I came up with all for under $100! The grand total for her ensemble: a whopping $1,544!!

Katherine McPhee's Look 4 Le$$ by queennicole01 featuring enamel jewelry

So it's not a perfect match but the gist is there.  I even added the pumps to give it a little more "pizzazz" so to speak! I think it is a fabulous look! What do you all think?  It makes me want to Spring Forward and get this winter over with!  Plus, it is much less than that $1500+ price tag she has on!

The link up is right below! I can't wait to see what everyone's fashion posts from this past week were like!

Manicure Monday - 1/28/2013

Subscription Saturday

Many of us are subscribers of monthly beauty companies such as Birchbox or Ipsy (previously known as My Glam) and so I thought it would be fun to linkup and see what we all get! I was a subscriber to Birchbox but, due to too many disappointing boxes I have finally cancelled my membership after two years (that was a lot of "to's, too's, or two's in one sentence)!

Starting next Saturday (January 19th) and every third Saturday of each month I will host the Subscription Saturday linkup.  All you need to do is link up your blog post about your monthly subscription.

RULES:

1. The blog post must be a monthly subscription to a beauty sample company (ones like Birchbox or Ipsy)
2. The blog post must be current.  In other words, do not link up last months post, it must be the current month.  Just in case I need to be clearer, next week will have to be a blog post about January's contents from the subscription, your link must be for January's contents
3. You must put my button somewhere in your blog post (it will be available to you on the day of the posting)

Other than those 3 items link away.  Make sure you encourage your readers to go to others websites.  It's fun interacting with current and new readers!  So share the love.  That is the purpose of me hosting these linkup's anyway. =)

Much Love & Happy Linking!

It's Friday!! Can I Getta...

#HOLLA!!!

Okay, y'all. I have been working my little tush off prepping this blog for what I feel is a relaunch.  I have finally decided on the schedule starting next week!!! YAY!!

Tuesday's = Tutorial Tuesday is staying, this time....drum roll please...they will be mainly makeup tutorials and ready for the crescendo !?!?  I am going to do them via video. You know editing a video is so much easier to me than doing the photos...call me lazy but this is how it will be done!

Sunday's = Sunday Spotlight is also here to stay, just in a different way.  More information is to come this Sunday so stay tuned.  However, if you want to click the little envelope under Contact Me to let me know you are already interested in being spotlighted go right ahead. =)

Monthly Posts to expect:

Every 3rd Saturday = Subscription Saturday Linkup!  There are many of us who subscribe monthly to various beauty companies.  Every 3rd Saturday I will host a linkup for us to share what we got that month.  More information to come later!
