A few years ago, while sitting on my sister in laws couch, feeling pretty hopeless about my future, I saw an article in Allure Magazine.
It was interviews and photos of a few women who had started companies from nothing that had flourished.
I suppose you hear stories like that regularly but for some reason these stories made a huge impact on me.
My dream, from the time I was in 5th grade, was to have my own makeup line.
Which is a pretty lofty goal and I knew that, even at eleven I could hear the doubtful tone in any adults response to it.
As I got older the doubtful tones only got stronger, so at some point I stopped really saying it out loud and eventually, I stopped thinking it much either. Life got in the way.
As I sat there pregnant, moneyless and hopeless, I read about women who made a difference in their life and lives around them. Women who didn’t have much more than I did, some who had less.
I wanted that.
So I got to work.
I saved and bought cosmetic ingredients to experiment with, made flash cards of chemicals and their properties, read any makeup book I could get my hands on. I started planning the blog, which I didn’t know a thing about but figured it was something I could do with very little money. Walking with Christian to the Sephora near my house and getting samples by the arm load (bless them for being so sweet to a non paying costumer!) I had no idea how any of it was going to work but I figured it was the work on my end that mattered. I could make up for everything I didn’t have with elbow grease.
I started voicing my goals again and this time (maybe because I was actually putting some gusto behind it) people weren’t incredulous, they were incredibly supportive.
I often hear quotes to the tune of “I’m gonna make my dreams come true and show all of the people who said I couldn’t do it!”
That’s kind of the opposite of what I’ve thought. I want everyone whose believed in me to be proven right. I want them to be proud of me, I want to be proud of myself.
And I’ve got a ways to go still before I realize all my dreams but I will tell you what! Walking into the Conde Nast Building for my Allure photo shoot was more than a little bit surreal. I mean surreal is just not even a good enough word but I’ve gone through my File A Dex of adjectives at least twice and so far none of them even come close. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being a huge part of my being able to have this experience, really really really thank you.
I’m hoping you guys wanna hear about it, cause I can’t stop talking about it!
So I’ll start from the time I arrived:
First JRod (the producer) brought me to the wardrobe room.
So I could pick my dress from the 5 or 6 gorgeous choices he’d already picked.
I went with a stunning Jason Wu black dress with pleather sleeves.
(my section is the furthest to the right)
Next, we picked out my heels.
I was this ” close to smuggling these Christian Louboutin’s outta there in my purse. Our separation was difficult and a little bit teary.
Next up was hair and makeup but who am I kidding? That’s gonna take up a whole post all on it’s own.
I got some gooood tricks stuff to report to you on that front, tomorrow.
This is me with a couple of the pro’s
I loved everyone I met (including the founder and chief editor of Allure, Linda Wells!)
They were all so fun and incredibly nice, even though they are used to working with celebs and were stuck with a blogger from Utah:)
(Jason the photographer and Dj the hairstylist)
And then the photo taking!
Here’s the scene for my shoot! (Although this isn’t the lighting or the angle but we’ll save that for the magazine)
I did this gorgeous models makeup while we were both in fluffy robes and then we went and got all shmancy so I could pretend to do touch it up.
Her personality was as lovely as her face and posture. So pretty dang lovely.
The photographer told me I was “a natural” which I’m sure he says to everyone but still, I’m not so mad he said it.
Next they gave the 3 of us (Me, Tati & Katie who were both a blast) a tour the Allure floor.
Which was magical.
But hold on to your hats cause my favorite part was the “beauty closet” a room full of beauty products from floor to ceiling (wasn’t sure if this was just an urban myth or not till I laid eyes on it)
And the coolest thing, to possibly ever happen in my life is when Cat (our gorgeous tour guide and an Allure editor) handed me a big old bag and said the most beautiful 4 words I could imagine “Take whatever you want.”
So, I did.
and I plan to report the cream of the crop. But seriously, how rad is that!?
After that we drug our very heavy bags back to the hotel and where Nick was waiting to take me to a Mets game and then to ride bikes all over the city (shoulda got some photos of that but I forgot my camera…) Biking the city was 1000 times more fun that walking or driving. We even road through Central park as the rain sprinkled on us a bit. Totally romantic.
Best. Day. Ever.

lizteabee
July 8, 2013 at 6:19 amI suspect that working with this particular Utah blogger was actually MORE fun than working with most celebrities. I’m so excited for the hair/makeup post. And I’m so excited for you! You’ve worked hard.

You have such a genuine nature that radiates through all of your posts, and it’s easy to root for you when you’re so gracious with your following and enthusiastic about what you do. You deserve all of this! And I hope you do get your own makeup line one day, if that is still one of your dreams 🙂

Sabrina botelho
July 8, 2013 at 7:13 amI have a few things to say.
1- having your own makeup line would be awesome! And you could so do it. You already have great DIYs so you pretty much. Have the hang of it. And your completely awesome. It’d totally be that creepy stalker that goes to your grand opening (no matter where it is) just to meet you and have u autograph a few things.
2- your trip to NY sounds so amazing and you deserve it. I think I’d cry if they told me take whatever you want in the makeup supple.
3- your bike ride sounds so romantic and I’m completely jealous. Of everything you did on this trip and your life that u worked so hard for.
Can’t wait to see you in allure!!
Sabrina

July 8, 2013 at 7:17 amSo, so excited and happy for you!!
Oh, and feel free to keep giving suggestions for fun spots and things to do in NYC. I’m joining my husband (spur of the moment) on one of his business trips. So I’ve got 3 days there (daytime by myself and night with him). Bike riding sounds fun! What else?? 🙂
Rebecca
July 8, 2013 at 7:18 amI am SOOOO excited for you!! Seriously, I’m crying!
I have been one of your readers from the beginning. And I know we’ve never met, but I hope you can count me as one who’s believed in you and wanted you to succeed. 🙂
As soon as I saw one video, I was going crazy-nuts telling my family & friends about you. I’ve even hosted a couple girls nights where I’d send the gals the list of things they need and we’d watch your videos together, practicing a new makeup and hair technique.
From one Mormon mom to another, Congratulations! You are amaze-balls and you deserve all the success in the world!!
Clear eyes, full heart… 😉
Mags
July 8, 2013 at 7:23 amI’m so happy for you. 🙂

July 8, 2013 at 7:52 amAs a single (mostly scared, but often fearless) single mom of 3…I cried reading this post! I turned my 13 year old daughter on to your blog and I know….a 13 year old girl just read this and became INSPIRED!! Thank you for living your life in such a big beautiful way that it touches any age and every generation….and thanks for proving that beauty comes from the inside!
Maribeth

July 8, 2013 at 8:15 amI give you credit for all that everyone has already mentioned, BUT – you were able to drop that big bag of beautiful products and go to a baseball game. You are truly amazing because I would have had to sit right down and spend the next two days enjoying everything in that bag! 🙂 Thanks for the great blog – I really enjoy all of your posts!
Carla
July 8, 2013 at 8:17 amOMG CARA!!!!!!!!! What an amazing experience! And the beauty closet???!!!! I can’t even wrap my head around that! How cool that Cat just handed over a bag for you to fill! She was so nice… did my phone interview for the contest! Can’t wait to see more of the products you snagged! I seriously think i’d hyperventilate! See…. there’s a reason I didn’t make it to the last week! lol xoxo Carla

July 8, 2013 at 8:36 amWhat an inspiring story Cara! As Cinderella says, “Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through…The dream that you wish will come true.” Thanks so much for sharing. This was a great reminder to me to not let dreams fall victim to every day life!

Pink Haired Princess
July 8, 2013 at 8:45 amI agree with the other comment about the way you put these posts together and your personality that comes through. I stumbled upon your blog recently and am totally hooked and that’s because of your lovely nature. It’s so easy to be condescending about makeup/skincare application and tips or to be flippant of spectacular opportunities like this that come your way, yet you are real through it all. Thank you, your Scottish blogging bud, Pink Haired Princess x
A. Wright
July 8, 2013 at 8:51 amWhat a super fabulous day, how exciting. “Take whatever you want”, did you think you’d wake up at home in your jammies empty handed? Yours is the only beauty related blog I follow and I’ve learned so much here, thank you. The posts are obviously a ton of time and work. I personally know maybe a handful of people who have held on and made a career of their passion, they are truly inspiring and moreover, the happiest people I know.
Brenda
July 8, 2013 at 9:03 amSounds so wonderful Cara and you looked gorgeous as always. Loved that black dress super cute! I’m so happy for you and hope all your dreams come true!
Megan A
July 8, 2013 at 9:10 amCara – you have worked your butt off for moments like these and we are all cheering you on! When I found your blog just a few months ago, I read the whole thing from the beginning in 2 sittings (including all the videos). I couldn’t get enough! You are so warm and real and sweet and funny. Maskcara is so much more than a beauty blog. This is just the beginning for you!
Melin
July 8, 2013 at 9:22 amSo happy for you!!! Need to hear more. Loving your fairy tale story.
Rachel Hauck
July 8, 2013 at 9:36 amLove hearing of your dreams coming true! Fun, fun!
natalie
July 8, 2013 at 9:44 amI would totally buy makeup from the Maskcara line! I’ve always enjoyed dressing up and doing my makeup, but being a mom to two young boys has caused me to slack off in the beauty department over the last few years. Your blog has inspired me to start caring again and not feel guilty about taking time to look pretty! I feel so much better about myself! Thank you and congrats on all your success!
Nathalie
July 8, 2013 at 10:13 amTotally awesome. I am sooo happy for you Cara! You certainly deserve all of what you’re currently given!!!
Mags
July 8, 2013 at 10:22 amYour post made me smile, and smile, and smile. Seriously, I was so happy for you! Congrats with everything! i can’t wait to buy make-up from the Maskcara line 🙂

nenebirdnicole
July 8, 2013 at 11:55 amThat is just amazing!!! A big bag and a chance to pick all the goodies you want! That’s better than Cinderella going to the ball, in my opinion.
You are on your way to that dream.
Loved your tutorial of the quickie smudgey eye. I did it and it looked great!!!
Best dream and wishes to you..

caroline [the diy nurse]
July 8, 2013 at 4:30 pmTake whatever you want?!?! Whaaaa?
On another note, I think I’m still in the quiet phase of my dreams. I married my husband because he is so supportive of me in a 100% way with no doubt- unlike even my closest friends and family. Everyone needs someone like that. So great to hear that story- I think it’ll be in no time until you realize your dream 🙂
Tammy
July 8, 2013 at 5:02 pmI am so super excited to read all about you in Allure! All of your dreams are coming true!! Amazing!! And the product line by “Maskcara”? You’ve sold me already!! Congratulations on your success. No one deserves it more!! Thank you for inspiring me to try be my best self- inside and out!! You rock!

I haven’t commented before, but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to give you props and to tell you how proud I am of you! You make all us girls who follow you bust our buttons, but as a southern Utah girl myself, I have to say that I take particular pride in knowing that hardworking girls from small towns who have big dreams can absolutely bless and change the world. Keep it up. I’ll be cheering you on every day!

July 10, 2013 at 8:43 pmCara your skin has such a beautiful glow! Do you use a particular product? I’ve tried jergens natural glow in the past, loved the color but after a few weeks it started peeling and I looked like a mottled zombie. Any suggestions?
Elisa
July 11, 2013 at 5:43 amI loved this post! so filled with hope for anyone in pursuit of their dreams! Congratulations! you not only deserve this for your amazing talent but because you are a good person. Best!
natalie
July 14, 2013 at 8:37 amWe’re all so proud of you! I would also buy makeup from your line, especially your highlighter and contour. I found you on pinterest right after giving birth, so your tips have helped me through the puffy postpartum days while I waited for the baby weight to come off. Can’t wait for your bun-in-the-oven posts! Congrats again, sweet mama.

Congratulations on your recent success and more to come. You have given me so much hope in my journey to use my own talents and travel to New York to reach my goals. Good things happen to those who are willing to work hard and take risks. I am thankful for all of your wonderful tips and your willingness to share you experiences with all of your fans. You are beautiful inside and out. Cheers!

July 16, 2013 at 12:41 pmYou are so inspiring Cara!! I have been reading your blog for a few months, and I’ve never commented, but I had to comment here because your post totally made me tear up. I’m so proud of you and I don’t even know you – your story and your spirit are just so touching. Bravo for chasing your dreams, and in the process, creating fun and inspiration for so many other women. Also, I’ve never really been that into hair and makeup, mostly because I just didn’t know how to do anything, and because of your blog, I totally know how to do myself up now! I love it!!
