My head is spinning.

What a whirlwind of a week! I had a great Birthday week then I just returned from L.A where something CRAZY happened. We went to the ellen show and boy do you need to watch it today!

 By that I mean, REALLY WATCH ELLEN AND RECORD ON MONDAY ;) 

Silly

Silly is the word that comes to mind when I think of these cute kids. These photos capture just that. I Love all these real moments. This first one just might be one of my all time fav of family photos                                                  

 Im NOT a black and white gal. . . . .if you haven't noticed ;) But I did add one in

Anyone still there??

Well Hello :) Yes I know I went against blogger rules and didn't post all our Christmas details and such. But I was taking a very much needed break to be a mom. I have so many fun photo shoots to show you from the last couple months. I will get right on that :) 

In the meantime I have other news to talk about. I have started a new series that launched last week on Studio 5 called Laci's Latest. It all about the latest in fashion, decor, beauty, food, etc. It has been so fun! So because of this series I have started a new blog. This blog will now be All about photos, and my Laci's Latest blog will talk about my home life fashion, beauty, decor and more :) So go check it out, let me know what you think, what you would like to hear from me, and follow me K?

Viewer question. . . MAKEUP! :)

I get so many fun emails asking me all sorts of questions and I wish I could get back to all of you, but this family of mine makes me get of my computer sometimes :)

So I though I would highlight some of the questions once a week.

Im starting with this

 Trish said...

Hey Laci. I love your work!!!! I saw your post on hair product. Made a quick trip to Sally's..I would love to see your favorite makeup products. Thanks

I thought this was a great place to start because a huge handful of my emails are about my lipstick. Every time I appear on Studio 5 I get a slew of email about lipstick :)

This is also perfect timing because this week, Im hosting a favorite things party where my and a few of my girlfriends exchange our favorite things. . . . So I will post those also. . after the party :) Now I have so many makeup pics I love like foundations, lip glosses, brushes But these are the MUST HAVES!

Model in a bottle

First lets start with something that has been with me for years. In 2005 this was featured on oprah. I order my first bottle then,  and I have loved it ever sense! You just spray this on after your makeup is done and it sets it!

 

another product that  keeps your makeup in place.  . .

Paint pot in painterly by mac. This keeps your eye makeup on, and boy does it work! I love it because it goes on so creamy!

Jet set Waterproof eyeliner in Bronze by smashbox. LOVE this! Its gel based and you use a angle brush to apply. It goes on so smooth and does not smudge! It comes in a lot of great colors. 

High beam by benefit This is the best highlighter. It gives you a yummy glow. I use it on my cheek bones. mmm

Lipstick- For me Lipstick is my christmas. I love it! No makeup is more exciting. These are my top 3 combos all by mac

up the amp and magenta liner worn here

impassioned and beet liner   worn here and here

Pink nouveau and magenta liner . . . worn in my family photos :)

K those are my favs! Now we can be lip twins :)  Do you share the same Love with me on any of these? 

Now I have a hard time going to makeup counters and trusting what the girl says. BUT I have a gal for you! AMY is her name and she works at the Layton mall mac counter. Go to her, she is amazing!!!

 Also I need a great bronzer, any suggestions? 

Girls weekend and Beehive Bazaar

I had a wonderful weekend! It started off with dinner at La Jolla Groves. Anyone who serves me diet coke like that deserves a star :) 

*I am so lucky to not only have the most beautiful friends ever, but they are also so kind, loving and would do anything for me. . . and often do!

The lights were so so beautiful at the shops at Riverwoods! Then off to Beehive Bazaar for some wild shopping. Seriously have you been on opening night? It is insane. As in . . . so many people you cant move, completely hot everyone is sweating, then you wait in line for a hour or so to pay. And thats why I go opening night every year ;) Because with all the hotness, its a blast! Plus I got to meet lots of you :)

(you know you love all of these not-in-focus photos)

About that pillow in my hand. Im obsessed. It deserves it's own post. . . 

Oh ya- then after this night I got influenza. . . . and have been in bed for 4 days.  Not cool

hopefully soon I feel great and can get you your photos for christmas! 

Get your flu shots!

back to bed

xox

The Adams family . . ♪da na na na

 

I get to work with Darin on studio 5. Now if you watch the show you know what a fun, goofball he is :) Lets just say his family is a great reflection of those fun same qualities. I laughed the whole shoot! It did not feel like work at all!

Did we take some "normal photos" sure. . . those just aren't as fun to post ;)

That rockstar of mine I told you about

So my husband just did something really cool, and co wrote the new Studio 5 theme song that launched today!

Awesome right?

Well, I totally Love it and you will too!

(make sure to turn my music off on the bottom of the page so you can hear)

 So fun right?

Here is the interview they did today on the show talking about all the behind the scenes stuff
