GETTING TO KNOW CONNEMARA22! SPOTLIGHT ON CONNIE CONNOR!

Tue, 02/02/2010 - 4:28pm

Name: Connie Connor

Age: 36

Vocation: Optician hoping to go back to get my masters soon :)

What is in your purse? My purse has so many things in it. I have a vera bradley backpack purse and it holds quite a bit: wallet, migrain med, excedrine migraine, nail file and about 6 different types of lip balms (I have a problem).

Guilty Pleasure: I have a few guilty pleasures. My first and foremost is lip balms in which I own so many that my friends tease me. And my second is shoes... I have about 50 pairs or so and I cleaned out my closet and threw about 12 pairs away... I own enough body sprays and lotions to keep an entire third world country smelling lovely.

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I have fair to medium skin with olive and yellow undertones. I have combination skin that is prone to break outs especially during my monthly. My biggest skin issues are that I have a condition called melasma which causes darkening of the skin - it drives me absolutely insane! I am also always on the look out for something to help with signs of aging because I'm getting to the age that i have to worry about it.

Beauty inspiration: Sophia Loren... she is a beautiful and natural looking woman. I love the look of natural beauty, natural grace, and natural sincerity - it looks good on everyone.

GETTING TO KNOW STACYB! SPOTLIGHT ON STACY BRINEGAR!

Thu, 01/21/2010 - 4:04pm

Name: Stacy Brinegar

Age: 31

Vocation: Training Specialist for the MathWorks

What is in your purse? Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion, Jelly Pong Pong Lip Sorbet in Carmel Chic, Erbaviva Lip and Cheek balm (great for lips, chapped cheeks and cuticles!). My wallet, phone, work security fob and a picture of my one-year-old son, Kyle. I also have a bottle of water on me all the time, hydration is an essential beauty element!

Guilty Pleasure: A really good book, a really good massage chair and a really good pedicurist. All at the same time! I love my son and husband, but that is some quality 'me' time!

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I have medium skin that tans very well, but can get pretty fair in the winter. It's pretty normal, a little oily at times around my nose, and my eyes can get very dry in the winter, but other than that, I have no real complaints. I just need a light moisturizer and some under eye concealer and I'm good to go. My only concern is that the less sleep I get, the more the under eye circles are bugging me. I need a good nighttime eye cream that will allow me to wake up refreshed, not puffy or dry and awake. Regardless of how early my son wakes up.

Beauty inspiration: I will always remember my grandmother who passed away about 15 years ago carrying around her little lipstick case with a tiny mirror everywhere. No matter where we went, she was always touching up with this crazy fuchsia pink color that just worked. She was not afraid of color, and knew that the perfect shade can instantly pull you together. I loved that even while suffering from pancreatic cancer, she always had her lipstick on. And it was perfect.

GETTING TO KNOW JENSKI! SPOTLIGHT ON JENI EMMONS!

Wed, 01/20/2010 - 12:29pm

Name: Jeni Emmons

Age: 29

Vocation: Pharmacy Tech and part time student

My Toshiba Gigabeat (mp3 player), red heart shaped sunglasses, Bath & Body Works Anti-Bac, Bath & Body Works Ruby Red Licorice sparkly lip gloss, Carmindy for Sally Hansen Moisture Plump Lip Balm in Sweet Plum, Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder, Physicians Formula Talc Free Matte Finishing Veil (the BEST for fast touchups), a knife that's disguised as a tube of lipstick (ya never know when you might have ta kick some ass), Trident Splash Strawberry Lime gum, my 2G flash drive, Bath & Body Works Winter White Fresh Shimmer Roll-On (one of my favorite scents)

Guilty Pleasure: I'm addicted to EBAY. I would rather shop on EBAY than go to the mall anyday. The thrill of the auction and finding stuff that nobody else has!!! Also, I buy wayyyyy too much underwear. And last but not least, my tattoo and piercing addiction. I love enhancing every aspect of myself.

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I am one of the palest people I've met. I can never find foundations that are light enough for me. Sometimes I use self-tanner just to match a foundation, haha. I tend to break out if I use heavy makeup or sleep with my makeup on. (Thank DOG for Proactiv) Also, I have mild psoriasis and am always looking for the best lotions and creams to keep my skin soft and smooth.

Beauty inspiration: I'm inspired by music mostly. I like to look the waymusic makes me feel. I'm also inspired by Japanese Culture quite a bit. Traditional and modern both. And lastly, by nature, especially the ocean. The colors, the smells, the beauty of sealife...

GETTING TO KNOW RED_VELVET! SPOTLIGHT ON RACHEL S. GUTIERREZ!

Sun, 01/17/2010 - 11:13pm

Name: Rachel S. Gutierrez

Age: 42

Vocation: Jacqueline of All Trades - Master of Some
I loved working for "Leisure Lady" (family owned by Southern Baptists, no less!). We sold bras and boobs, butt pads, edible panties, sex toys, hooker looking dresses, thongs that glow-in-the-dark, play music, have dangling rhinestones, feathers, marabou & leather, plus a whole lot more. I knew every stripper & drag queen in town. This was back in 1992, long before thongs were popular. I did my persuasive speech in college about why YOU should switch from granny panties to thongs and made an "A". Also, voted "Best Public Speaker", which was really exciting for me, because I'm normally VERY shy. Once I feel comfortable, you will wonder where the remote control is.

What is in your purse? Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E, Swivel Stick Revlon Lipstick - Cherries in the Snow #440 (Been wearing color since late 80's), Revlon Lipstick - Raspberry Bite #745, Revlon Lipstick - Wild Berries #36, Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds Liquid - Berrie #50, Aveda Lipstick - Scarlet Sage #731 (same tube since 1988), it's a gorgeous blue red, Leopard Faux Fur Lipstick Case, prescription bottle of Ativan - I use this when I visit my mother and if my 16 & 13 year old nieces are having an attitude. I don't visit often, so the Ativan last a long time!

Guilty Pleasure: I guess getting a neck and shoulder massage by a professional, pedicures and I love, love, love, long scalp massages while being shampooed. It just might be better than sex! Seriously, it can be that good if you have someone well trained.

GETTING TO KNOW STEALMYSUNSHINE! SPOTLIGHT ON STEPHANIE SILVA!

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 6:25pm

Name: Stephanie Silva

Age: 15

Vocation: Student, Part time umpire for girl's softball.

What is in your purse? Rosebud Salve, Victoria's Secret lip gloss in Pina Colada, my library card, Dove Go Fresh Deodorant in Cucumber, Lise Watier corrector palette, Sunsilk Waves of Envy Hair Spray.

Guilty Pleasure: Buying cleansers. I'm always on the look out for cleansers even though I have more than enough. If the packaging looks good, it's organic or it smells good I'm sold.

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I had to google this one! But I think I have olive skin tone. I have combination skin. I don't really have a lot of acne, but because I'm out in the sun a lot during summer (and when I was younger I never wore sun screen), I have some sun damage. Also sometimes at the end of the day the area around my nose gets oily.

Beauty inspiration: I think my beauty inspiration is you ladies at megsmakeup.com. I was never really into makeup even though I know there are a lot of girls my age who are. Mostly because I never really knew what to do with it. I learnt so much from this site and from all your tips and reviews on products.

GETTING TO KNOW TIME.OF.MY.LIFETIME! SPOTLIGHT ON TAYA BURZYNSKI!

Mon, 12/07/2009 - 5:03pm

Name: Taya Burzynski

Age: 15

Vocation: Student!

What is in your purse? My wallet, Clean&Clear absorbing wipes, Bare Escentuals buxom lips lip gloss, Garnier spot-on roll-on, my glasses, Annabelle soft kohl eyeliner and a little 100g jar of vaseline for dry lips.

Guilty Pleasure: My guilty pleasure would have to be moisturizers! I'm always looking for one that is perfect for my skin, at a reasonable price. I also love chocolate bars and trying to perfect a chocolate chip cookies recipe (:

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I have fairly fair skin. It's combination, but it's leaning more towards the dry side since it's getting colder up here in south Ontario! I have very evident bags under my eyes, that always make me look tired! I also have a difficult time getting rid of acne scars.

Beauty inspiration: I think my biggest inspiration is looking at people around me! I love seeing what other people are using and how they're using it. I also love looking at makeup ads, especially for GOSH cosmetics.

GETTING TO KNOW DANDY! SPOTLIGHT ON DANA!

Wed, 11/11/2009 - 5:54pm

Name: Dana

Age: 34

Vocation: Art Teacher and Artist

What is in your purse? Well in my purse I have a Boots no 7 lipstick in a lovely Coral color called Coral Dream, an Everyday Minerals lipstick called Siesta, but these act more like balms though (I think). I have an Everyday Minerals puff Jar with some rice powder in it. I get very oily skin, so this helps a bit. I have an Everyday Minerals Retractable Kabuki too, love it! Because I live in FL I always carry some spf so I also have Aveeno positively radiant moisturizer with an spf of 30 and some Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock spf 55. Some Purell hand sanitizer, just in case. Ooh a no7 Pefect Lips pencil (it was hiding in there) in nude... sometimes I outline my lips to make them bigger, yet to find the perfect nude though, or one that will stay on me. Some Avon Glazewear color- Sand Shine. It is a nice gloss nude color. Other non makeup things: my new free phone from ATT - it's kinda nice, jealous of y'all iphoners though. Sharpie - everyone needs a sharpie! Toothpaste from my Virgin flight, so cute and teeny and a bunch of scrumpled up receipts... ie big mess.
