Thanks so much to everyone who left comments and entered the sweepstakes on my Pink Spotlight posts during the month of October to help me raise money with Comments for a Cure with The Beauty Blog Network.
Because of you I was able to reach my goal of $150 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure in which I made the donation this morning!!
I had such a blast featuring beauty products and hosting giveaways to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness and hope that you’ll join me in my efforts when we do it again next year. A special thanks to the sponsors of the giveaways, Anastasia, E.L.F., Glowology, and Smashbox.
Thanks again so much, I couldn’t have done it without you!!
This October, to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Anastasia Beverly Hills has created a special edition version of her Precision Tweezers (that I love, by the way) custom decorated with a breast cancer ribbon in beautiful pink Swarovski crystals.
If you’re in need of a new pair of tweezers to create your perfect brows, consider picking one of these gorgeous babies up. Because when you do, Anastasia will donate 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this item to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, an organization committed to raising awareness about the importance of early detection of breast and reproductive cancers.
Anastasia Limited Edition Swarovski Pink Ribbon Precision Tweezers are available only at Nordstrom, in-stores or online, for $33 US… and here on The Daily Cookie! That’s right, I’m giving away a pair of these beautiful tweezers to one reader - TODAY ONLY! All you have to do is enter the sweepstakes below, sit back, and wait for an email from me to see if you’ve won!
Also don’t forget that I will donate $0.10 for every sweepstakes entry I receive on this post, or any other BCA-related giveaways I feature during the month of October to Susan G. Komen for the Cure*.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had never tried Anastasia’s brow products before. I mean seriously - where have I been?? Anastasia is a celebrity phenom in the brow biz having worked on her magic on Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith, Lucy Liu and many, many more!
I recently had the opportunity to test drive a couple of Anastasia’s products and couldn’t believe I’d been missing out. Before this, my holy grail brow product was Shiseido’s Eye Brow Compact Duo. Now that I’ve discovered Anastasia’s Brow Pen ($21 US), a brow tint product in the form of a felt pen, I gotta say - it’s really kinda cool!
Brow Pen, Long-Wearing Brow Tint, is the alternative to pencils and powders used to fill in the brows. It’s a water-based formula in a felt-tip pen form made for precision when filling in your arches to give your look a bit more dimension. Check out this video where I quickly demonstrate how to use the Brow Pen on a friend of mine. She loves it too because the shade is so universal, it matches her coloring perfectly.
For me, I’ve still got to get used to the pen and the smaller, precise strokes I need to do since I’ve used powder brow products for a long time. Hopefully in time I’ll get it down when using it on myself - although as you can see it was super easy for me to apply on someone else!
I’ve got a couple other Anastasia goodies to share with you soon - like her tweezers! So stay tuned!

Okay, so the regular football season hasn’t started yet but that won’t stop me from excited for tonight’s first pre-season game, Colts vs. Redskins. It’ll be bittersweet since my Fantasy Football star, Peyton Manning, wont’ be playing QB today - he’s my fave!
But, before we gear up to veg in front of the TV to watch the game, I’m getting ready to spend a couple of hours working on my fitness playing tennis with my friends in a little bit.
Today’s makeup is extremely minimal. All I’m doing is grooming my eyebrows with a couple of products from Anastasia’s 5-piece Brow Kit (full review coming soon!). My brows are extremely thin so I always try to leave the house with my eyebrows shaded in so they don’t look so bare.
To give myself a little color, I’ve swept NARS Orgasm blush on the apples of my cheeks and finished my look today with CoverGirl AmazeMint lipgloss in Everything’s Rosy.
