Prior to LuckyFABB, I had never even heard of Jane Iredale cosmetics. Now I'm wondering what else I'm missing out on...
I was so impressed with the brand's event at the Refinery Hotel, loved all of the products I was gifted, and was thrilled to find out that they are made in the USA! It's like the trifecta of fabulous-ness!
At the event, cocktails were flowing, butler-passed hors d'oeuvres were abundant, and makeup artists were working their magic.
All attendees were treated to "lip makeovers" and I got done up with Captivating Crimson:
I went home with all of the products used to create this look and get complimented every time I wear them. It is the perfect shade of red and I know I'll be wearing it a lot this holiday season.
Think you should rock these bold lips at all of your upcoming holiday parties? (So do I!)
Here is how to get the look:
1. Exfoliate your lips with Sugar&Butter to remove any dead or flaking skin and provide a smooth surface for application.
2. Blot to remove any remaining sugar crystals.
3. Using Crimson Lip Definer, outline and fill in your entire upper and lower lip.
4. Layer Margi Puremoist Lipstick over the pencil.
5. Finish by applying Crabapple PureGloss Lip Gloss to the center of your lower lip.
Voila! You too, can look like me and have fabulous holiday-ready lips thanks to Jane Iredale!
In other news, Sugar&Butter
(an exfoliator and lip plumper) is hands down my favorite new beauty product
I've tried this year and their Mystikol (eyeliner and highlighter combo) in onyx is a close second - so good for creating the perfect smokey eye.
Dying to give Jane Iredale a try? I have good news: you can order all of their products online! And for my #shoplocal gals: Jane Iredale Cosmetics are available at Pharoah's Hairum (both locations), Conscious Beauty in Victor, Salon Enza in Penfield, Q Med Spa in Rochester, and Genesee Valley Laser Center.
As you embark on your holiday shopping this year keep in mind you make a difference every time you shop local and buy American - so why not make a point to do both?
Happy Shopping!

#YelpShopsRoc and You Should Too
I don't think it's any secret how I feel about shopping local and supporting small businesses. This is why I am teaming up with Yelp Rochester to promote ways for you to shop local this holiday season. Did you know that for every $100 spent at an independent retailer $58 stays local? There's no better time to put your money where your heart is and make a difference than the holidays. Want to help? Follow #YelpShopsROC, get out and support your great local business community, and encourage others to do the same. It's time to spread some good old-fashioned holiday cheer.

The Flower City Fashionista on TV
Just in case you have an actual life and weren't stalking my blog's facebook last Friday night, I was on tv.
It started out like any other day. Only I woke up late, didn't shower, and was then ambushed by the parazzi [read: local news] where I blathered about Pinterest, how I'm not a crafter, and got very specific about the perks of my credit card.
Since it aired, my dad called to ask me if any modeling agencies got in touch after seeing my segment. Not cool, Dad. Not. Cool. My husband has found himself the brunt of many a your-wife-shops-so-much-they-are-interviewing-her-at-the-mall jokes. And my friends (if you can call them that) have been sending me texts like this:
What can I say? Yes, I like to shop. Sure, I look a little disheveled and my voice possesses a rare nasal quality that is only found when Rochester and New Jersey accents combine, but in all honestly, it could have been much, much worse.
So now, for your viewing pleasure, WHEC Rochester catches up with The Flower City Fashionista at Eastview Mall:
The moral of the story: never leave the house without washing your hair and never lose the ability to laugh at yourself.
