A MUST SEE--The September Issue

A documentary on the making of the 2009 September issue of Vogue Magazine & the life of Vogue mastermind, Anna Wintour is now out on DVD--"The September Issue".

The film takes us through the process of assembling the magazine's most important issue of the year--September. I love the way this documentary shows all the behind the scenes photo shoots, editing process, and characteristics of the key people involved in creating the artistry of a magazine that has stood as an icon of fashion for decades.

I adore Vogue for its spreads of gorgeous fashion photography--the not so wearable, but oh so appreciated as art type of clothing, paired with astonishing backdrops. The shots where the models are jumping for a photo shoot in 4.5" heels gives new appreciation to the extent of what goes into such photo artistry.

I highly recommend putting this on your 'to rent' list in the near future. It's not a fast paced movie at all, but thoroughly interesting--watch is solo or with a group of fellow fashionista gal pals.

Let us know what you think, comments would be lovely :)

Beauty Picks...

A list of a few mark. products that are sure to knock your socks off--

and save you a lot of money!

Since I became a mark. rep several months ago, I started sampling more of the products myself in search of replacements for my current department store brands. Not only have I began to save lots of $$$, I have also found some fab products that have replaced the previous brands completely!

If you're at all like me--a beauty conscious gal that is trying to slash expenses in such an economy--this blog is for you :)

1. Scanda-Lash Mascara by mark.: This is a dream mascara for me! It elongates and separates lashes perfectly. I also love that it is part of the 'hook up' line (it hooks up to another product of your choice, like a lip gloss, eyeliner, etc) making it a perfect size for mascara--it is good to go with a small mascara, as it should only be kept 3-6months before being tossed. This mascara has completely replaced my previous favs--DiorShow & Benefit Bad Gal mascaras (which used to cost me $18-$25 each!)

SCANDA-LASH BY mark.: $6 each (comes in black, indigo, wine, and brown)

2. mark. Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint: This is a great replacement for Benefit's Benetint as well as Nars cream blush sticks. It won an award in Allure Magazine's Beauty Picks recently & I can see why. It glides on smooth & blends easily--I love the shade "cheeky", but it also comes in "nude", "berry", & "sunny".

Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint--This is a fab find at only $7 each!

3. mark. On the Edge Liquid Eyeliner: Compare this to Makeup Forever or Urban Decay liquid eyeliners in the way that it has an easy to apply applicator--which is all too important when it comes to applying your own liquid liner. I know that liquid liner is not something most gals use--but it's worth trying for a night-out look to get that 'cat eye' effect or just to add a subtle oomph to your eyes. I started using liquid eyeliner every so often about a year ago & love the effects--On the Edge liner makes it easy with its quick drying, long lasting formula. It comes in the colors Calista (a light blue/turquoise), Cleo (black), & Medusa (a rich brown/khaki shade). **This item is also a "hook up" product--hook it up to your scanda-lash mascara for an easy day to night fix up after work!

mark. On the Edge Liquid Eyeliner: $6 each

I hope you have been inspired to try some of the mark. products!

Reminder: Shipping is FREE on orders of $25 or more.

Happy Shopping!

Twitter Time!

I had toyed with twitter about a year ago for the shop I work at. . .I hesitated to join as I'm not one to get on the bandwagon right away.

So last night I finally broke down and signed on for my official "SwankyStiletto" twitter account! (Lucky that name was still available!)

The way everything links together now with technology is more than fun! The easiest way to find my tweet is to click on the box you see on this blog. Let's start tweeting! It's a fun way to keep in touch and get the latest updates. . .

XOXO, GGal

I've been shoedazzled!

In Loooooove with this month's selection from the Shoedazzle* Shoe Club. . .

Out of the five choices that were presented to me (based on preset preferences), I chose these fabulously fun boots!

They are in a deep mocha faux suede with brass studs at the top. I adored them online and when I got them in the mail & tried them on I received a warm & cozy surprise--they are fully lined on the inside with faux fur. LoveLoveLove them!
Can't go wrong for $39.95!

I know I've mentioned this shoe club before, but if you're ready to see what it's all about follow this link. (btw: I do not get any kind of endorsement for this--yes I know what you're thinking!)

Membership: $39.95/month, you can opt out of any month as you choose. Shipping to the mainland is free (us Hawaii gals have to pay, but it's still worth it!). I find the selections to be true to size. I normally wear a 6-6.5 & go with a 6 at Shoedazzle. The only problem I've had with a shoe is one not fitting my arch--those who know me will understand why ;)--I sent it back without a problem. (I love the pink shoe bag that comes with every order!)

More fabulous fashion finds to come as we enter the next sensational season of trends--Thanks for following Swanky Stiletto!
