Surprises @ Clinique
Most brands are involved in big brand families! You'd be surprised to know about brands that are brothers and sisters. For example, when consumers think of Old Navy and Gap, they think of two different clothing brands. They probably also consider Gap as a higher class clothing brand considering it is more expensive. Here's a fun fact: Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime, and Athleta are all clothing stores that sell different styles and price ranges in their products, but they are all owned cooperatively together.
A lot of makeup brands are also owned cooperatively. Clinique at OSU has every beauty product that a girl could need, but they also have fragrances! Men and women all over the world have been wearing Clinique fragrances for years. Clinique Happy, Clinique Happy Heart, and Clinique Happy for Men are classics and will be around for a long time as favorite fragrances.
Brother and sister companies to Clinique are offering their fragrances to Clinique now and consumers are very excited! Donna Karen has 4 different scents in their DKNY Be Delicious perfume line, Michael Kors has a perfume called Very Hollywood, and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs also has a perfume. All of these brands, including Clinique, are cooperatively owned by Estée Lauder.
Another popular item at Clinique counters right now is the Quick Blush line of blushes. This is a great product to throw in your purse and use on the go. It's a brush and blush in one and comes in several different shades! Celebrities and magazines have been suggesting this new and exciting product. I love it, and I think any college girl at OSU would too!

Breast Cancer Awareness @ Clinique
As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. About 207,090 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2010. About 39,840 women will die in 2010 from breast cancer. These shocking and unfortunate statistics should encourage people around the world to donate time and money to research efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.
This year, Clinique is doing its part to raise money for breast cancer research by launching two special promotions this month. The third step of Clinique's famous 3-Step System is the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. For the month of October, customers will be able to buy a larger revamped bottle of DDML that will include a pink key ring with Clinique 'C' and breast cancer awareness ribbons. Clinique will donate 10 dollars of every $45.50 bottle sale to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation! They will also donate 4 dollars from every purchase of Clinique's Lip Trio Key Ring which include three popular lip colors; Clearly Pink, Grapefruit, and Glazed Berry.
I've never been the best citizen when it comes to giving money to charity and mainly because I don't have a lot of extra income in college. Since I've worked for Clinique, their involvement in different charities and especially the Breast Cancer Research Foundation has motivated me to give. By purchasing the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, you are not only giving to charity, but you're getting a great product. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I easily spend $45.50 on items that are completely unnecessary every week! Ask yourself where your discretionary income goes, and where it COULD instead go to help others.

Practing Safe Sun @ Clinique
Self tanners are on the rise right now as the new trend!
Celebrities and government officials are endorsing these products and pledging to stay out of indoor tanning beds. I was reading an article in Cosmopolitan magazine this morning about actress, Kristen Bell and model, Marisa Miller, who have just received Cosmo's first-ever Practice Safe Sun Awards, because they pledged not to "fake bake."
Even though famous faces are making self tanners look like the new it thing, I haven't completely bought in to this. Research has proven that tanning beds and too much time in the natural sun is harmful to skin and can even lead to skin cancer, but the blunt truth is that tanning beds make you tanner. I've tried several self tanner sprays and lotions that promise to make me look bronzed, and instead I look orange and streaky. Often, I don't even look darker; just weird.
I've been working for Clinique at the Oklahoma State Student Union for a year and a half now, and I was required to try their Self Sun Body Airbrush Spray. I was NOT excited about this, because I expected it to look horrible, but I was surprised that I didn't hate it! The product's color is supposed to last for five to seven days, and it did for me. The color isn't the same as a tanning bed would deliver after five to seven days, but it works, and you can feel good about your color because you achieved it safely. The Self Sun Body Airbrush Spray by Clinique has sold me on the idea that self tanners really do work.
Although I'm dragging out my fall/winter clothes and packing away my shorts and tank tops, I still want to keep my healthy summer tan, and I'm going to do that with the help of Clinique at OSU. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on practicing self sun, Clinique's product, or any other self tanning products that anyone has tried!

Awesome!!! This is an awesome blog and I've enjoyed reading your posts over the past month. Eskimo Joes is famous all around the country and anyone who has ever attended Oklahoma State University is proud to be from Stillwater, home of EJ's. The next time I'm asked what Homecoming at OSU is like, I'll direct someone to your blog. This is a great summarization of the festivities in Stillwater. I also really liked the point you made about how long it takes to find a parking spot on our campus, ha ha! So true, and so funny! Keep up the good work.

Cute cute cute blog!! If I had enough time and money to take care of my own dog, I would go on down to the Stillwater Humane Society and adopt several puppies! Your blog is very informative and great PR for the society. Keep up the good work! Willoughby the weenie dog sounds so precious :) My family has 3 at their house.

Way to stay up to date on fashion trends! In my opinion, fur is almost always not okay. I think it's gross to wear, even though it's pretty and fake fur usually looks tacky. You make a valid point that Rachel Zoe rocks the faux fur look. She always knows what she's talkin about and that's why she's famous for styling the stars. I might have to drop by the Wooden Nickel to check out any cool faux fur items they have to offer. Keep up the good work on your blog. I've lived in Stillwater since I was 9 and I've always loved shoppin at the Nickel!

I've never been a big thrift store shopper but I really enjoyed reading over your blogs and I might have to go check out the stores here in town soon! I do have some funny memories of thrifting around Stillwater from jr. high and highschool though. Every summer I went to Falls Creek camp over in Davis, OK and we had dress up themes for dinner. I found a lot of fun outfits for 70's themes, nerd themes, and superhero themes!! Keep up the good work.

Anything Clinique does that can be described as 'Strawberry Fudge' is always a hit! Pink and brown hues are great for us brown eyed girls and especially a hit in the fall. I really enjoy reading your makeup tips and your blog is obviously a hit because you know what you're talking about. Keep up the good work. I'd love to hear more about what you think about Clinique products. I've worked for them for over a year now and they really are hard to beat when it comes to beautiful cosmetics.

I really love your blog as a whole but these easy ways to steal the stars emmy looks is such an awesome idea! I'm always seeing pictures of the stars in magazines and thinking how much I wish I could pull off that look. You have provided an easy way to do just that. Telling your readers exactly what products to use is so great and informative. Keep up the good work!

Cool blog post Miranda! I agree that dancing is definitely a sport. I took dance classes from age 4 to high school graduation here in Stillwater and loved it. I was never on the Pom squad at Stillwater but I danced in competitions for Encore! Dance Studio. I took ballet, tap, and jazz. Dancing takes a lot of practice and dedication just like any sport does and I really appreciate you speaking out for the hard work dancers put in to their passion :) Way to represent for the Shock too. This gives them credit and good PR. Keep up the good work.
