Some Fashion to Your Beauty

The Bloggin' Beauts is meant to be more than just beauty, we want to include the fashion and beauty bloggers of NY to mingle and find new products.

Last event, I hauled magazines from all over the world and of all varieties. This time around, we are lucky to have Fashion Magazine - the leading Canadian fashion magazine join us in the event, and school us in fashion outside of the US.

A Little Behind...

When I picked up the phone to confirm Miss Jackie for our event, I heard someone say "What's Pimpin'?" ... My crazy behind was thrown wayyy off track and I asked for Jackie. To which the response was: "Ohhh I'm sorry, I thought you were my nephew - I was trying to act young!" That's when I knew she was a perfect match.

Glamour magazine featured our feisty gal Jackie Saulsbery in their August 2009 issue. Who's Jackie? Miss Jackie is the hot mama who was a godsend (or rather a Zoyasend) to the Bloggin' Beauts for the July event. :)

We all got spoiled with 3free manis from Zoya and we got to know Miss Jackie. What did we learn? She sure has professionalism down pat! No matter how much we all poked an prodded she would not give up a single name of a client who was... well... unpleasant. You know what? Judging by her you'd think such people didn't exist!

There's Jackie perfecting Adina's (from KraseyBeauty) mani!
I can spot the Zoya 3-in-1 formula Remove - can you?

NYC Bloggin' Beauts Volume 2: Fall 2009

Hi Everybody!

Following on the heels of a successful Bloggin' Beauts get together, I present to you the Fall Get Together - Bloggin' Beauts Volume 2!

Some of you had the chance to experience the event last time, and I would love to continue meeting up and networking with New York blogging divas as well as finding out about tried and true products along with new lines to the market or just my product junkie eyes. I have to admit, it's also one of the many blessings we get from living in the metro area that we are so close to and get to meet so many PR reps and companies face to face.

So without further ado, here are the deets:

• The event will be Sunday, September 20, 2009. We will meet at 2pm and rejoice as long as we want, but not past 8pm :).
  
• Location as always is TBA. I am looking for a new and nifty location, but if not, we will have to recycle and reuse the last one. A lot of you were happy with it last time, so two for two won't be so bad.
• To cover costs and food, the entrance fee will be $15, this is a drop from the first time. I do ask that you send the money before hand (Paypal) and guarantee your money back if you cannot make it.
• To promote the event, all Bloggin' Beauts that made it to the past event are eligible to choose a 'giveaway' product of their choice by referring a Blogger who attends.
• Best for last? Of course there will be goodie bags and giveaways!

Have some input for me? Companies or ladies you'd like to meet or see? Let me know!

Company Spotlight: Thevi

Have you tried Thevi yet? A new brand in the cosmetics market, Thevi (IMO) is doing everything right to secure a place in the history of makeup. They have a large variety of good products and they have the best customer service. Add to that their fabulous blog & Twitter & Youtube presence, and you really start thinking why the hell am I not paying attention to Thevi?

Have no fear - Yaya's here!

About the company:

With roots that reach deep into the Indian sub-continent, Thevi was born of Sri Lankan parents in New York State. She grew up as part of a vibrant, multi-ethnic community, whose diverse styles and cultures shared the common ties of strong family bonds, a love of color, a respect for traditions and a celebration of women as leaders, mothers, sensual beings. As a young woman, beginning her career and enjoying a busy social life, Thevi could never find cosmetics in shades that suited her coloring. Because she has always held that beauty is a way of empowerment, both at home and at work, she felt a keen need for a prestige makeup brand with colors that were rich and vibrant without being harsh. One with formulas that would complement her skin, and shades that were modern and sophisticated. In short, a collection of colorful, contemporary, no-gimmick makeup she could relate to "I know that there are many, many women like me. Women to whom ‘natural’ means ‘colorful.’ After all, what is more natural than a flower, a butterfly, a sunset? In our homes, in our dress, even in our foods and in our makeup, we are women who feel comfortable with color. In fact, we crave it. And while our skins come in a wide range of tones and shades, we all look best with a more intense makeup. Red lips. Strongly defined eyes. Visible cheek color. And of course, fresh, smooth complexions.

Here's a tutorial Thevi recently posted on their blog (& YouTube):

Just because we're not a part of 'Desperate Housewives' doesn't we mean we can't try to at least get their stunning styles... and no, I don't mean Edie's revealing lingerie scenes..

Eva Longoria's character Gaby may not be the most generous woman on Wisteria Lane, but she sure knows how to please a crowd. Here's our step-by-step THEVI Guide to a wonderful Eva Longoria inspired look with only 3 makeup THEVI products! [Youtube Tutorial of this look available]

1. Lightly dust each eyelid using the THEVI Oatmeal Eyeshadow with your shadow brush. Remember to cover all of your eyelid, all the way up to the bottom of your eyebrows for that extra lighting effect which really gives your entire look an extra little something.

2. Then using the same shadow brush, gently gather some color with the same shadow brush of your THEVI Dark Brown Matte Eyeshadow.

The beauty of using the same brush throughout your makeup routine is to assist you in the blending process.

Gently apply the color, from your lash line, in upward motions towards your browline. As you approach your eyebrows, the intensity of the color should lessen.

A helpful hint from our THEVI Makeup Artists is to use pressed powder to cover any mistakes, never try to remove the eyecolor!

3.Finally, use your THEVI Mocha Mate Duo for the perfect contouring helper for some beautiful model cheek bones.

Locate the apples of your cheeks by smiling and then sweep the darker shade immediately below this region. Use the lighter color directly on the apples for a shimmery effect.

Voila! We may not be A- list actresses or be raking in their big bucks but we sure can look just as glamorous and irresistible!

Welcome to the Bloggin' Beauts Page!

Hey y'all!

This is Miss Yaya here, from MyOwnJudge. On the heels of a very successful Bloggin' Beauts get-together, I figured it'd be smart to separate the blogs a bit.

NYC Bloggin' Beauts (NYCBB) is all about us NYC (& surrounding areas) Bloggin' Beauts and this will serve as a great way to communicate and set up future events.

Be patient with me as I get everything together and snazzy up this lil' ole' blog, but in the meantime, stay tuned for a recap of the event that just happened on July 25th!
