Face Shape Quiz

Since January is Skincare Month, why not take your whole look to the next level by taking dailymakeover.com free Face Shape Quiz. Cute little quiz that only takes a few seconds and gives you some suggestions on how to accentuate the fabulousness that is you. Enjoy!

My results: Rounded face (ala Drew Barrymore, Mandy Moore)

Quiz: A round face often gets the "cute" label. So add a bit of definition back into your face with a few well-placed razored layers or adjustments to the length.

      Me: hm, I have been called cute... I'll read on.

Quiz: For longer hair, create fullness at the crown with razored layers or by blowdrying your hair upside down and teasing only the roots at the top of your head.

      Me: Check. minus, blowdrying upside down - not a fan.

January, Skincare Month at Sephora

Despite the fact that I live in the Northeast, don't think that I have a undying love of all things cold - because I most certainly do not. Especially since winter runs wild all over my skin as soon as the temperature dips below 40 degrees! .sigh.

I totally have dry skin in the winter months and combination skin in every other season, which makes finding a healthy balanced glow quite a challenge. It becomes a juggling act of sorts between face wash, lotions & masks. So this special little offer could not have come at a better time for me. You did it again Sephora gods... thank you.

For those smart shoppers who are already a Sephora 'Beauty Insider' all you have to do is spend$25 beans and voilà, 4-Steps to Beautiful Skin Samples for free!
Since my current face wash, Murad 'Clarifying Cleanser' is just too drying for my already flaky skin I've been meaning to buy Philosphoy's renowned 'Purity' facial cleanser which is included in the Normal Skin set; excellent news for me.


As if that weren't enough to make you think about trying a new facial routine Sephora has also deemed January Skin Care Month jam packed with a free in store one-on-one skincare consultation by a friendly beauty pro, suggestions/advice, personalized product recommendations, and the above mentioned skincare samples in your hot little hand!

Just to recap, here are your 4 Steps to Beautiful Skin ala the mother-ship, Sephora
Step 1. Free Consult with a Sephora beauty pro
Step 2. Free Skin Care Samples, based on your skin type
Step 3. Free Hugs to your Sephora beauty pro
Step 4. Race home and implement!

Hi

Happy New Year?!

Happy 20twenty-ten10 to all you blog-loving dolls!

So, another new year huh. When did that happen?! Who allowed it - I'm holding someone accountable. Even though major retailers consider us to be closer to the big V-Day than to NYE I still wanted to toss up a little meet & greet/happy nyr message as my first official post at shoplikeShannon.

So Happy New Year to us!
What a great time for refreshing ourselves,
our closets, our makeup bags, our jewels,
our shoes, & our spirits! :: clink, clink - sip::

This picture was just begging to be re-posted. It's a tragic crime that these lashes aren't attached to every single delicious bottle of Verdi Sparkletini that's purchased for NYE. Which I would consider to be a tremendous gift with purchase for a fabuloso champagne sipping lovely... such as myself/any my girl-gang members.

Review: Disney Couture, The Dream Pave 3 Ring Set

Disney Couture, Cinderlla Collection by: Kidada Jones

Review: My 'dream' rings Originally submitted at Karmaloop

By shoplikeShannon from Philadelphia, PA on 1/4/2010

From the Cinderella Collection - 14K gold plated ring set with "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart makes" engraved and a pink heart on one ring, and pink and clear pave crystals on other rings.

The Dream Pave 3 Ring Set

5out of 5

Pros: Beautiful, Stylish, Good Quality, Versatile
Best Uses: Night Out, Everyday
Describe Yourself: Modern, Stylish

I have been on a constant search for the perfect pave rings to match my ever growing gold jewelery collection, I am happy to report that the search is over. I've only worn them a handful of times since I just purchased them, but as far as I can tell the quality is very good (as is most every piece of Disney Couture I have). Really great vibrant color, the cut makes this ring shine for miles.
Love how versatile they are. You can pile them together for a statement ring, or wear them separate for a more casual look.
Either way they are sure to catch an extra glance from fellow fashionistas.

The Half Pearl Half Multi Chain with Charms Bracelet

4out of 5

Pros: Good Quality, Beautiful, Stylish / Cons: No Clasp

Best Uses: Formal Occasions, Night Out, Office

Describe Yourself: Modern, Stylish

Loving the hell out of this bracelet! I'm always looking for a modern stylish twist on the classic pieces every karma girl needs. This is not your grandmothers pearl bracelet, for sure. Only downside for me is I don't like that the bracelet is on elastic. I personally would have preferred a toggle, or lobster clasp for such a substantial bracelet.
Bottom line its got bunnies, gems, sparkles - I mean what's not to love?!
