Behind the Scenes

Check out this cool Behind The Scenes post by photographer Pooya Nabei from a recent photo shoot we did together http://www.pooyanabeiphotography.com/?p=805

The shoot was all about color. We had a beautiful model, Renata who did an amazing job at bringing out her inner Diana Ross! Our stylist, Krista Sung did a beautiful job pulling long, colorul flowy dresses. Makeup with super bright neon orange lips with teal blue eyes. I did strong colors on her because I knew it would work with the lighting and the wardrobe. For hair, I went all out. I wanted big sexy hair and that's what we did. Here's a preview of some of the behind the scenes. To see all of them, check out the link to Pooya's blog above.

March Favorites

Here are the March favs!!! I am looking forward to going out and buying some loot here pretty soon to bring you more options and MORE savings. By the way, do YOU have a request? Send it to my email and I'll getter done! =)

Becky is up first with her March favs!

First up is the limited edition Urban Decay 15 year Anniversary 24/7 liner set. Out the door, it's crazy expensive at $92 but you're only spending just over $6 per full-sized liner which is a crazy good value. I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay's liners and all of them are super pigmented and smooth. I love that there is a big variety in colors as well, I'm able to wear something different every day. They also work well as a base! Also included with the set is their Sharpener which is worlds better than your standard cheap sharpener (who knew!). My only complaint is that the packing plastic that it's wrapped in has a strong smell to it and you have to let it air out for a week and store the pencils elsewhere. Also, Perversion (which is THE blackest black liner I have ever seen) clouds up my contacts when worn on the waterline.

Next up is Benefit's Boi-ing concealer. I'm always trying to hide my under eye circles and liked Erase Paste because it brightens but sometimes it would start look look cakey on me after a few hours. After hearing how much Jen loved it in a post I decided to try out Boi-ing and this is MUCH better for me! You need next to zero product and I just pat it on and it covers up my circles and the redness around my nose just beautifully.

I am in love with Tarte's new Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Wear Powder Blush in Glisten. I bought it in a set off of QVC (my first purchase from there- it was at a lower price of $52 for eight items if you include the bag!). It's a great pinky-peach blush with some shimmer but it doesn't make my pores appear any larger as other shimmers usually do. This Blush lasts 8 or so hours on me which is much longer than normal blush. When I usually do a quick touch up in the late afternoon (thank you oily t-zone) I'm always pleasantly surprised that I don't need to apply more blush . Love it!! (p.s. the brush with the set is ah-may-zing!)

Also, I've been using the Olay Pro-X... I'm a fan!
Next comes Sariah with her favs:

I have an eye cream that I love that I bought from Sephora. It's called REN. I am a "weeper" so my eyes are constantly getting a dose of salt water tears which is incredibly drying. This helps out with that SO much!
I have also been using a face wash by Clean & Clear that I love. It helps out with blemishes and breakouts like it's nobodies business! (Psst, this is Jen, I wanted to post this so I'll have to ask her the name of it later!)

A Dose of Daily Glow

Every Monday I feature tips from the dailyglow.com. Dr. Jessica Wu is an amazing dermatologist to the stars and has so many tricks up her sleeve they just HAD to be shared with the ladies at Classy. Today she tells us about a homemade cookie foot scrub =). She writes:

I admit I have a weakness for Girl Scout cookies, and I can’t resist buying a box (or several) when I walk past the cute little girls selling them outside my local supermarket. My favorites are Thin Mints, which I keep in the freezer. I know, they’re high in sugar — but I try to limit myself to one or two at a time, and not every day. Plus, I like supporting the scouts in my neighborhood.

While cookies are not part of my Feed Your Face diet, cookie scrubs are featured in Chapter 11, titled “Food on Your Face: Food-Based Ingredients and Easy Recipes for Make-at-Home Remedies.” Your feet have been trapped in shoes all winter, so why not make this foot scrub to help get them in shape for spring? (It smells just like Thin Mints!)

Peppermint Patty Foot Scrub
- 1 cup coarse sea salt
- 5 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup fresh mint, minced
- 3 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)

Mix thoroughly and massage into your soles, focusing on calluses and rough patches. For best results, first soak your feet in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes, or use the scrub after a bath or shower. Follow by applying a rich foot cream. Repeat every week to keep your feet soft and sexy.

FASHION & WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AT ILLUSTRADO EVENT 2011

She had a dream, a vision of good life and future, she struggles and she struggles harder. The new woman. Ordinary woman. Almost self made with nothing but raw guts and strong survival instinct. Woman with balls, who's unafraid to face challenges.

Meet the ILLUSTRADO WOMEN.Women of substance, a mother, a sister and a friend.

At the Illustrado Event 2011, I was upfronted with disarming ladies who shine, who muscled their way to the top. These are women who are changing the stereotype on their head by being...themselves. An amazing summit of women who are in the forefront of new social order that took place in Dubai.

LALAINE CHU BENITEZ-Editor-in- Chief, ILLUSTRADO MAGAZINE

They came in all sizes, age and degree of appearance at the red carpet, forgetting for the moment that red carpets are all about celebrities and film stars, they are real women on their moments- a collective consciousness of a nation of filipina women we look up and emulate to. Women who sacrifice, who need to be strong and trying to have the empowerment.

WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE 2011 ISSUE

That day I saw a new definition of empowerment, they are no longer boxed over someone, it is the empowerment over themselves, assuming total control of their own lives, physically, morally and emotionally. Women who dressed up, women who earn and are responsible of their actions, women who are aware and in- charge of their bodies and fashionable well- being.

Women who shy are passe. It's all about facing the mirror unafraid to say, " I am a woman, a beautiful fabulous woman".

GUEST SPEAKER: DR. MARGARITA HOLMES with designer USHI SATO

BEST DRESSED MAN 2011: BANDOIX FLORES/ BEST DRESSED WOMAN 2011: ANNA DE LEON

It is about time that women explore their boundaries and create new images , feeling free to get out from the boxes of traditional impositions. There is something pleasing about women who reinvent themselves. It’s a new era of female domination – what existed in the echelons of the kitchen has moved to the workplace. It’s not really about who wears the pants, rather who finds himself holding the skirt..!!!!

KEEP FIERCE AND FABULOUS, LADIES !!!!!!!!!!
