New Launch: Ethereal Radiance Collection - Celebrating this Holiday Season

New Launch: Ethereal Radiance Collection - Celebrating this Holiday Season

The Autumn/Winter 2014 beauty trend, specifically makeup, is all about celebrating the most festive time of year. Now, we're not just talking about your basic neutrals (although, neutrals NEVER go out of style). It's all about creating magical, sparkly looks using metallics, shimmer, and glitter - in colors ranging from blues (shades of sapphire, azure, cerulean and cobalt), fuchsia, purples, and orange.

Creating a makeup look for this winter season can be easily achieved by focusing on your eyeshadow look alone, or rocking a bold glittery pout. If you are feeling bold this holiday season, then my suggestion is to rock both!

To get your makeup looks holiday ready, Sigma Beauty just launched the perfect makeup collection:  Ethereal Radiance.

The collection features Loose Glitter and Shimmer Sets for the eyes, Shimmer Creams for highlighting the cheeks, Lip Switch and Lip Bases for your lips. Sigma also released a new brush set as an addition to this collection.

Now that you have an idea of what the Ethereal Radiance collection has, let's move forward with the fun part: seeing what the makeup looks like and getting your hands on it!

Thinking About Buying Jewelry Online? Go For It with RocksBox

Have you ever found yourself having a hard time buying jewelry? Or not knowing if a certain fashion trend will look good on you?

When purchasing fashion jewelry for a specific event that we are attending or if the jewelry is just for a gift, most of us will take the time to go out shopping, browsing the collections that are available at most retail shops. While this may be the best solution for some, I have found that the answer to obtaining amazing pieces of stylish designer jewelry is to buy them online.

Most online stores offer a greater selection of jewelry and at a better price.  Transactions are safe, there are money-back guarantees, and service is as good as in person or sometimes even better. Another very important advantage of shopping for jewelry on the web is that you get to compare.

You maybe thinking, "yes, this is true, but how do I know that I will like the jewelry once it arrives?"

I agree. This is a very valid question. But, think about it this way:  Even if you see a piece of jewelry in a department store, most times you are not allowed to try it on, let alone ask to wear it around to "see how it feels", right?

Well good news is, there is an online company that allows you to select pieces of designer jewelry that you believe would fit your style, get them shipped to your home and then allow you to try the jewelry out BEFORE making a final decision to purchase the items or not.

Visit the Rocksbox website - complete their style quiz - become a Shine Insider - use code " miasanchezxoxo " at checkout - get your first month's box FREE

Rocksbox has made shopping for fashion jewelry very simple. Their four (4) step process is so easy, you can literally set up your account with them in a matter of minutes.

First, you browse through their entire collection of jewelry while telling them what pieces you like as you go through their jewelry style profile. Next, you sit back and wait to receive your very own RocksBox with three (3) designer jewelry pieces that are tailored to compliment your style profile.

This third step is my favorite!

Once your RocksBox has been delivered and received by you, you get to wear and try out the jewelry pieces for up to 60 days. Yes - 60 DAYS! That is an entire TWO MONTHS of rocking your designer jewelry in front of all your friends, co-workers, neighbors and family! After the 60 days, you then make your decision on which pieces you just have to have and you buy them. Then the final step is to refresh your RocksBox set as often as you like by using the postage paid envelope provided to you in your initial delivery.

Let me just say that this service is way beyond amazing, it is just downright fabulous.

At the time of writing this post, I have completed step one. I took the time to make my jewelry style profile and now I am just awaiting my delivery. The last time I checked my account {which was just a few minutes ago - I can't help the fact that I am completely obsessing over the idea of getting my first RocksBox!} the styling team was curating my box. The expected date of delivery is April 13, 2013.

I am literally counting the days!

I cannot wait until the package arrives to see exactly which three designer fashion pieces are shipped. Now, please do not worry. Once my RocksBox arrives I will be doing a second post with an "unveiling video" so you can see exactly what designer jewelry was received. So please stay tuned for that second post after April 13th.

It may seem like a long time, but until then here's a little something for you ...

Now it's YOUR turn: RocksBox has a special offer just for YOU:

Don't forget to come back and let us know how fabulous your experience was!

Help Support Shop Small Today

Did you know that today, November 24th marks the third annual Small Business Saturday? I know, I can hardly believe it myself. It seems it was just yesterday when I stumbled upon American Express Facebook page reading their first announcement of what Small Business Saturday was all about.

The idea of such an influential company taking the time to create a day to support local businesses around the country was certainly news that grabbed my attention, not only because I am an AMEX customer but also because I am a local business owner. Knowing that there is one day of the year dedicated to helping those with local businesses really does help all of us who are trying to make a living for our families.

Which brings me to today's post. If you are still in need of finding a few holiday gifts, a haircut, even a new pair of shoes....why not help your local community by buying the items you need from a small biz! Not only will you be helping your community but you will also be helping local business owners support their families.

So, in honor of today, Small Business Saturday, here are two easy ways to shop that will not only support the SBS movement but it will also help you save time (and money!) shopping for your loved ones this Holiday season.

For the Divas, Princesses, Makeup Mavens and Fashionistas on your list:

What You Didn't Know About: bagblaze

Of all the fashion accessories a women has, there is one accessory a woman needs on a daily basis. Do you know what that accessory is? If you haven't figured it out yet, we are referring to the Handbag.

Finding a fashionable yet high quality handbag can sometimes be a challenge. Not all handbags are made equal - and that's a fact!

With so many online shopping sites to choose from, finding that one handbag that fits our fashion style can be either a-hit-or-miss. The last thing you want to happen is that you purchase a handbag online - anxiously awaiting its arrival - then when the handbag arrives, you notice that the handbag is everything you DON'T like! I have had this happen to me before and let's just say I was no happy camper.

So, what's the solution to avoiding this type of fashion "casualty" from happening? A company called: bagblaze.

Bagblaze is an online retailer focused on providing a wide variety of trendy, fashion forward handbags at competitive prices. Most of the handbags offered on bagblaze are conveniently priced around $39.95 - however there is also a Daily Special offered showcasing a particular handbag on sale for that one day.

Here is a video explaining what these "Daily Specials" are and how they work:



While browsing their online site, we noticed that bagblaze has quite the selection of merchandise. Among some of the items, you will notice handbags suited for every type of situation:

"From dressy satchels to slouchy hobos for happy hours to evening clutches for date nights and casual totes for the workplace or everyday carryall handbag.."

It is fitting to say that bagblaze definitely understands the importance of having a highly fashionable handbag - without sacrificing quality.  We are not the only ones who think this way - bagblaze has been featured in Issues of People, InStyle, and Glamour magazines.

This is one of the many reasons why we are extremely excited to share the good news that we have recently entered into a partnership with bagblaze - with YOU in mind!

What does this mean for our fashion savvy readers and subscribers?

It means that in the next week or so, we will have the chance to review one of their high fashion handbags - share our findings with you and host a fashion handbag giveaway event where you will have a chance to win a FREE bagblaze handbag and have it shipped directly to YOU!

How sweet is that? Are you as excited as we are?!?

In the meantime, let me invite you to take a sneekpeak at the wide selection of fashion handbags bagblaze has to offer by checking out this post on our facebook page 


Now it's your turn: Were you able to get your special invitation? Of all the fabulous handbags, which one fits your fashion style? Let us know in the comments!

Amazing Designer Apparel Outfits Under $100

Happy Friday Fashion-istas! Today we all have an excuse to do some shopping because today we get to celebrate National Thrift Shop Day!

In true fashion, shopping at thrift stores is something that has become quite trendy. Until recently I had never experienced shopping at a thrift store. It just so happens that while running a few errands in the city of Dublin a few weeks ago, my daughter saw this store and asked if we could stop to see what it was like.

So we did.

Going into Platos Closet was an experience. The store was extremely clean and well organized. The clothing is sectioned out by size and color. Among the pieces of clothing, we were able to find quite a few affordable designer pieces. Other than the endless racks of designer labeled clothing, there was a wall of the store dedicated to only accessories - jewelry, handbags, scarves, sunglasses, and everything you can imagine.

Now, it did take us a while to sift through the clothing, however it was worth the hassle. Between my daughter and I, we were able to find a few trendy designer pieces great for her to wear as school outfits.

Here is a list of what we bought:

• SD II gray Skirt - $3
• Aeropostale blue Tee - $3
• Vega Jeans blue-purple leather jacket - $6
• Aeropostale pink Tee - $3
• No Boundaries olive Tee - $1.50
• Forever 21 demin Leggings - $2
• Spring Street checkered Skirt - $4
• XXI striped v-neck Tee - $1
• Nike black & pink Boots - $25
• Self Esteem plaid Jacket - $15
• Misc. Accessories - $9 (pink LEI purse, bangles, two leather belts)

To see a slideshow of these outfits please see my article: National Thrift Shop Day: Platos Closet

Now it's your turn: Is there a Platos Closet near you? If not, what thrift stores have you shopped at? Please share your shopping experiences and tips with us - We love to hear from you!
