www.myorganizedchaos.net,I was recently introduced to one of the coolest makeup products that I have seen in a long time. Oh, and don’t let my term ‘coolest’ age me, ’cause I really do feel like a giddy teen over this product. It’s called Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation, and apparently it’s been on the market for a while. This upsets me a little since I only learned of it recently, but I am so thankful for the trendy online shop Urban Chic Boutique for the great introduction.

www.myorganizedchaos.net,Airbrush? Foundation? What is it?
It’s foundation, ladies, but in an aerosol spray. No more messy liquids, drops all over the counter. Yep! It’s so very easy to spray on, though I have to admit, I was shaking the first time I tried it. After all, who is used to spraying something directly at the face! Yet, after that first time I was hooked, I could not believe the even coverage – it really does ‘airbrush’ you. In fact, it’s used by runway models and actors, and we all know how flawless they look! It’s waterproof and lasts all day. Since I am not a huge fan of foundation, just becasue it feels too much like a mask – I love that I can’t feel this on my face at all. I almost forget to wash it off at night. And, how much you spray on depends on whether you want a light or heavy coverage, so simple. Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation is oil-free and contains a nourishing vitamin and botanical base that’s ideal for all skin types.

When I first tried this product, a friend was over – so we tried it together. Yep, giggling in the bathroom – it was hilarious. But, we were both amazed at how well this foundation works. And, since we have complete opposite skin, and require different results when it comes to foundation – for us to both adore the same product was surprising.

But wait, there’s more! This great Spray On Foundation was originally made to cover scars, tattoos and stretch marks! {I hear the applauds!}. Now, the Twins left me a few stretch marks to remember them by, so I just had to try this out. Thanks to my precious babies, I sport some nasty stretch marks on my upper arms, and since then hate to wear sleeveless shirts. Well, the ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation covered them up better than I ever thought anything could – now you really have to get in and squint to see them. Love it!

This is a great video of all that this foundation can do {some spray it on a darker shade to make it look like you are wearing Nylons!}. This product has been buzzing on news programs and entertainment shows for a while now – again, where have I been all this time? Just watch, I guarantee you will learn so much…

The Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation comes in 10 shades and retails for approx. $30. Now, it is more expensive than your drug store foundation, yet with the added benefits and excellent quality – I think the price is fair!

One reader will get their own Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation, in the shade of their choice.

Lays Chip Trips | The Calgary Zoo

by Tammi on July 29, 2010 · 0 comments

www.myorganizedchaos.net,Our family has collected our Lay’s Chip Trip points, from bags of Lay’s potato chips. On the Lay’s Chip Trips website, you can redeem those points for savings on entertainment, attractions and for food – all across Canada. We recently made a trip to the Calgary Zoo {Alberta}, and yes, there is a coupon for 50% off admission to the Calgary Zoo {up to a family of 4}. That’s a huge savings!

The Calgary Zoo is a place we visit every year, yet this year they have some new features at the Zoo. They now have Dinosaurs Alive in their prehistoric park – they now move and roar! The kids {and adults} love walking through the trails of the badlands and seeing and hearing 20 animatronic dinosaurs, what a great feature that is a hit with all!

My girls loved seeing all the animals at the zoo, they went wild over the Lion and Elephants especially. The grounds are beautiful, and there’s plenty of room to roam even on a busy day. There are many learning opportunities for kids, and a ton of opportunities to play and run. We can’t wait to go back next year, there will be a new Penguins exhibit!

If you are coming from out of town, you can get discounts on hotels with your Lay’s Chip Trip points too. There’s quite a few hotels to choose from, some of them are a BOGO night stay and others are savings for one night. See, your trip to the Calgary Zoo won’t break the bank with Lay’s Chip Trips.

Lay’s Chip Trips has partnered with the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC), to encourage families to travel, explore and save this summer. Celebrate all that Canada has to offer, and read up on some great travel deals across Canada.

I am participating in the Lay’s Chip Trips program by Mom Central
on behalf of Frito Lay. I received Lay’s Chip Trip points and a gift card to offset
my trip costs to facilitate this post. The opinions on this blog are my own.

Are You In Need of a Garage Makeover?

Thumbnail image for Are You In Need of a Garage Makeover?

The garage may be known as the ‘Dad’s Domain’ but that doesn’t mean us women don’t utilize the space just as much! Whether you are the full fledged handy-woman or just someone who needs to use the hammer once in a while – the garage is used by members of the whole family. Not only does the garage store vehicles, tools and what-nots, it can also be home to kids’ toys, seasonal belongings and more. The garage is an extension of the home, and just like any other room in the house, it needs some TLC too. To keep your [...]

ShooShoos Giveaway

Last week, I posted my ShooShoos review for Summer 2010. Not only do I adore the pair I chose, but the Twins are in love with them too – sporting them indoors, out and sometimes sneaking them to bed too. I got their 2nd year birthday photos done a few days ago, and they each wore a pair of their ShooShoos for their photo session. Not only did their shoes match their attire and support that fresh summer look, but it perfectly represented their sense of fashion and style – shoe-loving toddlers is who they are! One lucky My Organized [...]

I was just a toddler when Terry Fox set out on a mission to run across Canada to raise money to fight Cancer with his Marathon Of Hope, yet I know the story well. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone Cancer at age 18, and only days after diagnosis his leg was amputated, and he wore a leg prosthesis. Being active and athletic his whole life, he was walking and running only a couple of months after he got his prosthesis. Terry Fox set out on the Eastern Coast, with only a few witnesses seeing him off on his journey. [...]

Two years ago today, two daughters came into my life, to add to our family of three. The Twins’ birth marked a whole new chapter in my life, chaos had begun. I dived into the role of M.O.M with little sleep but with more love in my heart. Two years ago today I was blessed. I look back, recalling only with hazed memory of your birth. My emergency c-section left me asleep for almost your entire first day. I woke very sad that I was the last to meet you, yet now feel fortunate to have spent each and every [...]

If any of you have little girls, you’ll know that the hairclip industry is one that has just exploded these past couple of years. Unless you knew a crafty person that could make you some, before you could only find standard plastic hairclips in box/chain stores. And standard the designs were, lacking both in uniqueness and representation of fashion. Yet, as I said, today there are many brands online and found in select stores, that cater to accessorizing the hair of young girls. As a product reviewer, I have been able to sample many brands, yet there is one that [...]

Zuvo Water Filtration System | Review and Giveaway

Thumbnail image for Zuvo Water Filtration System | Review and Giveaway

I think most people prefer not to drink water from their kitchen sink. Regardless of time of year, mine just doesn’t taste right. We have a water cooler in the house, yet I have realized that it’s actually quite expensive to own {filters, cleaning, refills on the water containers}. As well, I have been really trying to maximize space in our house, and my water cooler takes up a ton of room that I could use. Another thought is the safety aspect. I often think of how easy it would be for the Twins to tip the cooler, and all [...]

Summertime for any family means a jam-packed schedule. It seems everyday we are running from one event and one trip to another. And, when the summer temperature peaks, the last thing I want to be doing is preparing supper and cooking in a warm house. This motivated me to learn how to BBQ for the first time, yes – really. But, there are those days when there simply isn’t enough time to cook a healthy meal, and I frantically search for alternatives other than settling on fast food and takeout. I was recently introduced to Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers, and [...]
