SmartphoneDNA and a KINDLE FIRE HD Giveaway!

There is no doubt that Isabelle Thornton of Le Chateau des Fleurs is talented.  This French-girl-gone-Utah has a wildly popular blog full of interesting DIY posts, photography, giveaways, and great reviews.  Aside from being an awesome blogger, she also creates fun apps for phones.  Previously her "Make Me Skinny" or Bon Bon app has kept many entertained as they edited and adjusted photos on their iPhones, and now I'm excited to announce she's released an entirely new app!  This one is different, and for Android!

Let's face it, sometimes you spend more time with your smart phone than you do with your spouse, friends, coworkers, and family... You sleep with it, eat with it, and admit it-you take it to the bathroom with you!  With Smartphone DNA you are creating a new kind of experience with your Smartphone.

What is Smartphone DNA?  

Smartphone DNA is an app dedicated to Twitter users, and it allows you to collect your Twitter DNA via your Android phone, and then compare it against other twitter users to see how much you match!  This is a great way to locate new Twitter friends that have things in common with you! 

How it works:

1. Smartphone DNA shows you a list of apps you currently have installed.
2. You select the apps you want to share as part of your DNA
3. Smartphone DNA shows you how closely you match the DNA of other users.

Smartphone DNA is 100% secure and controlled by you.

Win a Kindle Fire HD

To celebrate the release of Smartphone DNA, Isabelle is offering one lucky newsletter subscriber  a brand new Kindle Fire HD!  Can you say wow?  This is the reader of all readers-with a 7" full color HD display, exclusive Dolby audio, and ultra-fast WiFi it's top of the line.  Don't miss out on this opportunity to have one for yourself!  Follow the break to enter the giveaway:

my favorite shops giveaway #3 : SHIMMER POLISH

as you may know,

i am ADDICTED TO NAIL POLISH.

some women have their shoes, their purses, 

but i have boxes and boxes of lacquer!

and yes, sometimes i change my polish twice a day!

i would like to share with you one of my FAVORITE

nail polish artisans on etsy

nothing, and i mean NOTHING compares 

to the amount of sparkle and shimmer that her polishes have to offer.

named after friends and important people in her life, 

shimmer polishes' lacquers pack a real punch of glamorous goodness. 

you cannot help but feel like a princess 

every time you wear jennifer or karen

or any of her other amazing products!

 whether you are looking for subtle shimmer 

or a decadent glow of diamond-like glitz, 

shimmer polish has every color you could ever want-- 

and so much more!
and mega-awesome shimmer polish is not tested on animals
like so many of the drug store brands!
amazing, right?!

my FAVORITE thing about shimmer polish is that you can 

CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM POLISH!

if you do not see the exact color you have always been dreaming about, 

the lovely creator will custom-make the polish that your heart desires!

she will also use her amazing creativity to help fine-tune, tweak, 

and make sure that your custom polish is PERFECT! 

talk about AMAZING customer service!

Check out some of my cousin's 

and my favorite customs below!

paige of artsy anthropology

how would you describe your shop?

-- Eclectic? Temperamental? I have yet to find something that I "love" and stick with it...

when did you start sewing? 

-- When I was really young I was in sewing classes, but I didn't sew between other than some baby blankets for volunteer hours in high school.  I busted out my machine in October of 2011 and really just went to town, made myself a new duvet cover, made Christmas gifts... then switched the shop from hair accessories to sewn items...

what inspires you?
-- Color. I have so many colors going on in my studio and my life... it's silly really.

favorite piece ever made?
-- Ooo... hmm... At the moment, I'd have to say these new leather purses I'm designing (not yet up in the shop)... or the scrappy-bags and the "hard to handle" clutches - "scrappies" because they are adorable, and then the clutches are more "grown-up"... I find myself having trouble designing things that aren't all really loud and bright and obnoxious.

describe yourself in three words.

Loud, Sarcastic, Creative

your shop is so creative! how do you come up with your bag ideas and patterns?

-- Usually at around 3am when I'm trying to sleep... it's obnoxious.  But also, when my fabric starts piling up, or when I see something I haven't worked with yet and think "well, what can I do with this?" - it's fun, finding new challenges. 

favorite color?
-- Green.  For my entire life, green has been my one and only ;)

favorite band(s)? 
-- Ummm.... Country?  The Glee Cast?  Haha, unless it's from the country station in the car... or music I hear on Glee, I have no idea what's playing.

favorite movie(s)?

-- Pitch Perfect {like seriously, still laugh every time, also Jesse... yummy?!} 

-- Notting Hill {Hugh Grant says "Whoopsy Dasies" too awesome}  

-- Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Miracle {love me some sports movies}

three things that drive you crazy.

-- When people don't use the dryer sheets in the dryer, really, who wants all the static?! NO ONE!

-- People who don't use their blinkers - they should be ... impaled by a flying unicorn.

-- Men who spit in public, really? They can't swallow their spit like the other 50% of the population?

and now for the good stuff!

enter to win YOUR OWN
artsy anthro e-reader case! 

THREE winners will be chosen!

madison street beauty review and an amazing giveaway

 cosmetics are a tricky, tricky thing in the vegan world... 

not tested on animals? finished product not tested on animals?

animal-friendly? contains no animal ingredients?

vegan-friendly? all-natural? huh? huh?

and your head is spinning because
you want to keep your make-up bag cruelty-free, 

but you want quality products, too!

well, guys, guess what i have found...

their etsy shop states that they offer "100% natural mineral makeup 
including eye shadow, foundation, eye liner, blush, 
bronzer, lip balm and a wide selection of vegan cosmetics."

and oh boy is it true! 

i bought a gorgeous eye shadow color called mossy mauve.

it looked like a deep mauve with mesmerizing flecks of gold and green.
and now, it is my favorite eye shadow!

it glides on so easily!
the soft, mineral make-up can go on wet or dry. 
either way, it will make a bold statement.

looking for another color?
take a look at THIS ↓

wow, right? 

no more dull and boring vegan browns and tans!

madison street beauty has an entire rainbow 

of vibrant and bold pigments for you to choose from!

have a hot date ?

want a sexy, smoky look? 

try silver star- 

an opaque gunmetal gray 

with shimmery silver undertones.

feeling sassy? want a bright pop of color 

to match your fun mood?

try electric periwinkle - 

a semi-opaque, bright periwinkle 

with electric blue undertones.

are you shy? sweet? 
looking for the perfect eye shadow 
to show your innocence? 
try parisian pink -  
an opaque, powdery pink  
with light sheen.

the quality of these shadows will knock your socks off!

they rival the biggest names in eye make-up and eye pigments

at a fraction of the cost!

they are natural, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, 

non-comedogenic, gluten free, and oil free! 

spending tons of money

on expensive, name brand 
mineral make-up?

well, stop it!

try a mineral foundation 

from madison street!

they are soft, silky, 

and provide full coverage 

while improving the look 

and health of your skin.

if you have trouble 

finding your perfect skin match, 

try picking up a sample or two!

all of their mineral foundations 
can be purchased in a sample size 
to make sure you are fully confident before you purchase a full-sized product.






madison street also sells aloe airbrush setting powder! i purchased a jar myself, 
and i think it is amazing! it doesn't cake or look unnatural, it minimizes pores, 
diminishes redness, and best of all, it didn't bother my sensitive skin one bit!



and just like the big name brands, 
they also have highlighters, mineral blush, and bronzer!
get an all-over, all day glow that your wallet 
and the animals will thank you for!
what a gorgeous way to show how much you care!

lastly, one of my favoritestestest things 

(don't you love how i make up words? lol)
about this company is that they don't 
package their mineral make-up in leaky plastic bags! 

your amazing products will be packed in jar with a sifter! 

you have full control of how much you use!

no more dusty, colored fingertips 

and no more countertops smeared with wasted color!

i cannot say enough about this company and their make-up.
they get a top review score from me!

overall score:

 5/5
