Untitled #58 by vanessanelson featuring flat shoes

Hello there!  How was your weekend?  Mine was a seriously great weekend as far as weekends go.  I seriously don't think I've laughed as hard as I did this weekend in a VERY long time.  Isn't that the best feeling?  That laughter that makes your head pound, tears streaming down your face, can't breathe type laughing?  Ah.  It's so therapeutic.  I've also been doing some serious Olympic watching as well.  I always swear I'm not interested and then end up getting suuuper into it.  Every 2 years.....

Do you guys listen to Arctic Monkeys?  If not....you should.  Such a great band.  I've been listening hard core all weekend.
I taught our lesson at church on Sunday which went so well.  I love teaching.  Sundays are also probably my favorite day of the week.  So relaxing.
 Nothing really else of much significance.  I went shooting guns for the first time ever which was SO fun....but I'll do a separate post on that.  

Hope you had a great weekend whether you were spending some quality looooove time with a significant other or just chilling with friends or family I hope it was spectacular! 

Share any cool stories in the comments!

All About Lipstick

I love that quote....I feel like those are the only 3 things I have a way with too....besides having a way with drinking a 12 pack of Diet Coke in less than a week.
So as you may have guessed....because I may have mentioned it a thousand time or two...I LOVE lipstick. You could even say I'm slightly obsessed.  This is a fairly recent obsession.  About 5 years ago I wouldn't even wear lipgloss (I know....hard to imagine right?) then when I started working in make up I would wear lipgloss sometimes....but in the last year or so it's been all about the lipstick. So I thought I would share some of my current favorite lipstick colors for winter.  In the winter I like deeper, richer colors. However...that's not to say I don't like to change it up and go for a nice nude/pink/coral.  So let's get on with it then!

Deep Colors

L to R: Very Currant- Clinique, Shade 01- Kate Moss for Rimmel, #12 Forbidden Burgundy- YSL, Roundest Raspberry- Clinique, Hot Lava- Estee Lauder, After Party- Clinique, Mightiest Maraschino- Clinique, #11 Rose Culte- YSL

Light Colors

L to R: Cherry On Top- Maybelline Color Whisper, Silvery Moon- Clinique, Corail In Love- Lancome, Snob- MAC, Runway Coral- Clinique, #13 Peach Passion- YSL, Urban Ballet- Lancome

When I think of lipstick in the winter I think deep reds, burgundys, violets but I love switching it up with a coral or pink every now and then just so I don't get stuck in a rut.  Winter is hard enough as it is. 

Any lipstick favorites of yours???  Please share!!!

Genefique and GENES DAY

So as y'all know I work for Lancome.  On October 21st Lancome is having an amazing event!  It's the annual celebration of Genes Day.

What is Genes Day?  Well between now and the 21st Lancome is donating $7 of every purchase of Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.


What is Genefique?  Genefique is a concentrate that you use twice a day to give VISIBLY YOUNGER LOOKING skin in just 7 days!  Guaranteed!  It improves the radiance as well as the texture of the skin...giving it that baby softness that we all want!  I've been using Genefique for the last year and will attest to the fact that it's an amazing product!




What is St. Jude's Children's Hospital?  St. Jude is the ONLY pediatric cancer research hospital where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance and NO child is ever denied treatment because of the families inability to pay.

How do I help support Genes Day?  All you have to do is purchase a bottle of Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate between now and the 21st of October.  You get beautiful skin PLUS you'll feel even more beautiful because you helped support an amazing cause.  You can contact me for your purchase either via Facebook, COMMENT, or email at vnesslnel@gmail.com.  I will ship for FREE to anywhere in the United States and I'm also offering a FREE GIFT with any purchase.

This is an amazing event.  Last year Lancome donated $150,000 to the hospital and we're hoping to double that this year!!!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

*note: Genefique comes in 4 different sizes for 4 different prices....you can find the one to best fit your budget but I will say after using it once...you'll want the biggest size we sell :)

Life has been CRAZY busy.  Lancome is in gift right now.....and so I've been pretty much dead to the world.  I worked every day last week (even a couple 12 hour shifts).  Needless to say I'm exhausted.  Thankfully I have  a day off tomorrow!

This is what my weekend consisted of...

my weekend by vanessanelson on Polyvore.com

I wish there was a search for "obnoxious female customers" on Polyvore...because that's mainly what my weekend consisted of.

Hope you've gotten a little more rest than me.

Stay tuned and keep reading because I'll be having another giveaway coming up soon!!!
