NYC folks, it's that time!! I'm having an official launch event for my new nail lacquer "LoveBrownSugar" for LiSi Cosmetics and I would love for you guys to join me tomorrow afternoon in celebration. In addition to my nail lacquer, there are tons of amazing new Holiday products in-store at LiSi Cosmetics. As I've told you guys before, I'm a huge fan of the brand and I absolutely love all of their products. Aside from the amazing quality of the products, everything retails under $15! It's a win-win, seriously. There are pro makeup artists to guide you through the products and you can actually TEST the products in-store (unlike drugstore brands).
LoveBrownSugar Holiday Shopping Event
December 15th, 2012
1:00PM - 4:00PM
LiSi Cosmetics Flagship Store
741 Broadway (at Astor Pl), New York, NY 10003
I'll be at the store from 1:00-4:00PM to mingle, chat with you guys about my favorite products and help you shop for all your holiday needs. We'll be giving away door prizes, serving sweets and partying it up in celebration so don't miss it! No RSVP necessary, just pop by the store and tell them you're here for LoveBrownSugar!
Last year during Black Friday, I had an unfortunate experience at the mall. Someone took one of my shopping bags while I wasn't looking and I nearly flipped ALL the way out. And that was the end of my in-store Black Friday shopping. Ever.
So, this year, being the digital savvy fashionista I am, I'm all about the digital deals. Why slave away on long lines when you can click & shop from the comfort of your home? So here are the top 5 cyber deals I'll be taking advantage of this weekend:
I must confess, all of my EPIC party dresses of yesteryear have come from ASOS. It's one of my favorite online shopping destinations. And they're giving an extra 20% they're already low prices. No-brainer!
Aside from the fact that LoveBrownSugar has a new nail lacquer with them (on PRESALE at Shop LoveBrownSugar), their prices are ridiculously low ON THE REGULAR. I'm talking nail polish for $4.90! Until Monday, everything in-store and online is an extra 50% off. Run, don't walk to their website.
I happen to be obsessed with Nasty Gal. I've been a fan of their pieces for quite sometime. They are one of the BEST online retailers for super dope and extremely creative footwear. So it only makes sense that they're discounting shoes this weekend.
She's one of my favorite designers so I couldn't help but share her awesomesauce discount for Black Friday. Super cute frocks for under $100, handbags, jewels and more!
On Tuesday evening, I hosted an exclusive preview of the LoveBrownSugar x LiSi Cosmetics Nail Polish at the LiSi Cosmetics flagship store downtown. Some of my favorite bloggers and social butterflies came out to help me celebrate. Check out scenes from the event:
Beyond my wildest dreams! My very own nail polish!
Aside from my polish launch, LiSi Cosmetics launched an array of their newest Fall/Holiday products. All polishes retail for only $4.90!
Makisha Timothy, LoveBrownSugar.com Assistant & Pop Culture Editor
What I love about the store is that there are makeup artists on-hand to let you try out the products whenever you like. Here, LoveBrownSugar's own Makisha Timothy gets her face beat for the gawds!
Meki and Allison from My Shade of Brown were in attendance. Love their curls!
Love my girl Natasha from Asili Glam - super sweet personality & faboosh hair. What's not to love?
Julee Wilson, Style & Beauty Editor at Huffington Post stopped by (left) wearing LiSi Cosmetics lipstick in "Fierce". Beauty buff Tunisia Wilson (right) came by as well. Long live the statement lip!
Annika Harris of UPTOWN Magazine passed through to say hi! She's a fan of the polish!
Misha of TheFabChick stopped by! Definitely check out her site - great fashion & beauty tips!
Black-rimmed spectacles never looked so good! Christen of Divas and Dorks and Ty of Gorgeous in Grey delighted us with their presence. Nothing like a great statement accessory!
Danielle Young of Hello Beautiful got her makeup done as well. So gorge!
Me and the lovely ladies of LiSi Cosmetics. Stop by the store sometime and tell them I sent you!
Stay tuned! In December, I'll be hosting a meet & greet in-store event for you NYC-based lovelies to come out and shop the store (as well as my new color) before the holidays. Can't wait to meet you guys!
Toodles from the LoveBrownSugar family! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi everyone! As today is Thanksgiving, I thought it only fitting to introduce you guys to something that I'm incredibly thankful for this year. Aside from being thankful to have all of you as faithful readers of my site, I'm BEYOND ecstatic to announce my latest accomplishment. I can't even express in words how honored I am to announce this....
I have my own nail polish color yall! One of my favorite new brands LiSi Cosmetics has honored me with privilege of having a glossy bronze nail color in my honor - called "LoveBrownSugar". You guys may remember my post about their digital launch party a few months ago, as well as my trip to the store to prep for the BET Awards.
What I love about LiSi Cosmetics is that all of their makeup products are so effective and so well-priced. The store resembles a high-priced luxury cosmetics store complete with makeup artists on hand and product trials, but EVERYTHING retails below $20! Can you believe it? So when the Creative Director told me they wanted to name a nail lacquer in my honor, I almost fainted.
This is literally a dream come true. Words can't express how appreciative I am that all of you follow me, read my posts and actually care about my crazy life. Thanks to you, I've been granted amazing opportunities like this. I couldn't have done this without you. I really and truly appreciate you.
LoveBrownSugar x LiSi Cosmetics nail lacquer is currently available for PRESALE exclusively through SHOP LoveBrownSugar as well as in-store at the LiSi Cosmetics flagship store in NYC (741 Broadway, New York, NY 10003). In December, it will have be on sale on LiSiCosmetics.com as well.
I so appreciate your support guys. First shipments of the polish will go out on 11/26/12 so make sure to order your stock and tell your friends!
So back in June as I was prepping for my BET Awards trip, I introduced you guys to a brand new cosmetics store I fell in love with here in NYC. The brand, LiSi Cosmetics, makes the most amazing makeup and beauty products and everything is dirt cheap, like drugstore prices! Y'all know I can't help but share a good bargain when I see one. So in the spirit of sharing, I agreed to host a digital launch party at their flagship with some of my favorite beauty gurus and bloggers. I had an absolute blast!
First thing, I got my makeup done by one of their awesome consultants. She gave me her "bronze, summer glow" look which I loved.
She prepped my eyes with their primer then added a mix if shimmery golds on my eyes. Then she finished with blush and bronzer.
The MUA's gave out makeup advice and consultations to each of the guests. Above is Deena Campbell of UPTOWN Magazine.
Had such a good time with the LiSi team! Check out the video below:
LiSi Cosmetics has just recently launched their first online store so all the lovely products they have at the flagship are readily available to be shipped to you, wherever you are. Just head to LisiCosmetics.com to check them out. And don't forget, I still have a lovely package of goodies to giveaway from Day 1 of my LBS 3 Year Anniversary celebration. Winners will be announced next week!

So, I've thrown together a few quick tips on styling neons for the summer. Check it out: [CONTINUE]
