Enter The Glam Nutella Contest!

It’s the middle of the week and if all you’re thinking about is, “When will the weekend get here?” then I’m about to give you something else to occupy yourself with. As you know Alexa LOVES her some Nutella so it’s only fitting to host the following contest.

Alexa wants YOU to leave in the comments below your best Nutella inspired recipe. The yummiest one (chosen by The Glam Fairy herself) will be featured on the blog a week from today. To be considered in this contest follow the guidelines below:

  • Leave your best Nutella recipe in the comments and give it a title.
  • Tweet @TheGlamFairy a photo of your creation and include the title you gave it in the comments so we know which is yours. In the tweet include the hashtag #nutelling.
  • If you don’t have a twitter account email me a photo of your Nutella recipe to melissa@theglamfairy.com and include the title of it as well.

The winner’s recipe and accompanying photo will be featured on this blog next week and Alexa will share your creation with the world. May the yummiest recipe win! (16318)

Most Gorgeous trial of the week!

Hello all!

Its 10 days in and it has been an incredible year already.  I really feel like Christmas strengthens bonds between friends, family, and of course if you are lucky enough to have one– your penguin.

This was the first Christmas I truly felt like a kid again.  From waking up at the crack of dawn and sliding under our enormous tree to a sea of gifts.  To a delicious breakfast in lieu  of the traditional xmas breakfast I had as a kid whipped up by my penguin (Danny) and a day to follow filled with the beginning of new traditions that we will have for years to follow. I feel like Christmas makes you fall in love again.  In love of course with your partner, but even more so with your life.

This new year my overall resolution is to really be in the moment.  Whatever it is that I do I am just staying there and enjoy it.  Last night for example Jisette (concierge/ cleaning lady/ best friend) and I tore down my massive tree and did a deep spring clean ironically enough into the dark night hours of the winter cold but how refreshing is it to wake up to the smell of Fabulousa, bleach, and the wide open space that miniature Santa Clauses, gifts, garland, strange christmas decor on every counter space, fake snow, and bowls of ball conceal.

I digress– what I am trying to say is that each thing I do– as simple as cleaning up the Christmas decor (something not as simple as it sounds) I am making it my goal to simply be there.  And that all encompassing resolution has of course flooded the gates of the Glam Factory.

I am a firm believer in following your passion.  As most of you know mine of course if being a Makeup Artist–and with that I utilize my artistry in as many areas as it will lead me.  Brides, education, photoshoots, classes, parties– anything and everything Glam is a place where I am following my passion.

Am I saying that I half assed all my trials, photoshoots, etc. in 2011.  Of course not.  Happy brides shoot out of the Glam Factory doors like Chocolate bars off a conveyor belt at the Hersey Factory.

However this week I had a trial with a bride who was a refferal.  She was reffered by my former bride who ended up taking a bunch of classes with me.  Its a domino effect here in the world of Glam.

In any event at this trial I really just let myself go.  Who needs one cheek highlighter when you can have two.  If my brushes were magic wands I felt like the chubby little fairy in sleeping beauty shooting out the full spectrum of fairy dust from my magic wand.  (And I don’t know why they call it dust when it looks like an electric bolt)

That said I feel like the look that I created was an incredible blend of traditional Indian makeup methodologies, fuses with the deeper end of the neutral pallet, balance shades to contour the natural curves of the face, and a golden opalescence to pull out the highest points of the face.  That– with a pouty Jlo tribute lip, cascading Dolce and Gabbana curls,  and WALA– my Masterpiece!

I hope you enjoy the manifestation of my New Years Resolution.

Record breaking season premiere of Glam Fairy!!

Style Network’s Docu-Series GLAM FAIRY is 2nd Highest Premiere For Network

Style-20010101

The Style Network’s premiere of the new makeover docu-series GLAM FAIRY on Sunday at 8:00pm was glamming with Women 18-49 (249,000) and Women 18-34 (140,000), becoming the 2nd highest premiere for the network, after “Tia & Tamera,” according to Nielsen.

The new makeover format show takes viewers inside the glittery, high-energy world of makeup artist extraordinaire and GLAM FAIRY herself, Alexa Prisco. After leaving the Gatsby Salon, Alexa establishes a new business headquarters – ‘The Glam Factory’ – to serve as home base where she can showcase her makeover magic and build up clientele. Each fashion and beauty-centered episode will follow Alexa, accompanied by her team of “fairies,” as she takes on new clients and uses her signature New Jersey style to transform women with hot new looks for all kinds of special occasions.

Peace, Love, World

If I said that googling myself wasn’t a past time I would be a liar!!  I am almost positive that nearly everyone has found themselves curled in front of the computer at some point in their lives, in oversized sweatpants, a ripped up t shirt, hair in messy oily bun, craming your mouth with some strange combination of chocolate marshmallows and pretzels putting the almighty quotations around your name inside your favorite search engine hoping that someone, somewhere, said your name.

In any event, on one of these signature evenings I found myself engaging in this all too familiar past time and came across a wonderful blog from Peace, Love, World — one of my favorite clothing lines!  They bring oversized fashionable comfort to a new level and of course are a staple in my closet of Glam!  PLW blogged about one of the shirts I wore in a recent Jerseylicious episode!

Well I connected with PLW and got a bunch of fabulous items that I wore for a bunch of recent press events!  Before The Glam Fairy premiere party hosted by Style at the Gansevort– the fairies and I made over some very special guests attending the swara and what is better Glam gear than a PLW sweat shirt!!

The next day before doing a satellite media tour I was literally HEAD TO TOE in PLW… from the fabu sweats that have PEACE down the leg, to the off the shoulder sweatshirt with PEACE across the chest– I literally felt like the one scene in Wayne’s World when Garth was head to toe in PEPSI gear but I couldn’t help myself!!! These are the most comfortable sweats on the planet!!

I found myself in this sweatshirt for a week… I felt like Linus with his blanket.  This is the ULTIMATE in loungewear.  Screw skin tight juicy pants that DONT make you look thin. They make you look chubby and like your on some strange conveyor belt that produces girls from the NE region. (juicy suit, uggs, baseball hat, and a vest over) SO over it.

You must get these comfy clothes IMMEDIATELY!!

#1 they are actually beyond comfy… fleece lined and super cozy.

#2 you don’t feel guilty wearing oversized sweats because they are so freaking cool– so you can go out and have REAL comfy sweats… not go out comfy sweats.  These are the sweats you don’t get out of when you get home and run for your pj pants– these are the sweats that you keep on for a week!

#3 If your over 25 like myself and don’t want JUICY across your ass however want a fashionable LARGER comfier option– then these are the ticket!!

Here are some pics of moi in my PLW gear!!!

Check out www.peaceloveworld.com to get your own googling sweats now!!  Its the best hibernation gear I have ever come across.  And if the fire alarms go off and you run out of the house– you won’t have to be embarrassed about your sweats!

I love peace love world!!!

Thanks Angie!!

Smooches!
