Missing you!


Photobucket

Hello Makeup Lovers,

It has been such a busy weekend and last week was pretty busy too. But I missed writing to you makeup lovers. I didn't think I would get the chance to write today but I was wrong lol.
I was going to write about a kind nail polish that I have been using for the past few months but I thought maybe I should tell you how my makeup gig went. Don't worry it went well but it was a little crazy but what kind of wedding isn't crazy lol.

so the first thing i have to tell you is that I made sure that I had everything that I needed in my makeup bag like three time and I cleaned my brushes and packed them in my bag. When i got there and was setting up in my hotel room the next day, I emptied all three of my bags and couldn't find them. I called my boyfriend to ask him if he could drive all the way back home to my house to get my brushes. As soon as I hung up my dad comes walking in with my makeup brushes hahaha. They ended up falling out out of my bag in the car. It was one of those opps moments for me. So anyways after having a panic attack, my mom and I finish setting up everything so I would be ready for the bridesmaids. While I was waiting I was looking through the gift that my neighbor and her sister put in my room. It was blue bucket filled with makeup supplies,chocolates, and a bottle of wine with a thank you card that said to the best makeup artist around. That was very sweet of them. They are one of the nicest and thoughtful people I know. :)

By the time that the bridesmaids got to my room I only had about an hour to do their makeup. I really thought I was going to mess things up by going to slow but I made it just in time. But they did end up waiting for me a little bit because I had to put my dress on. I really felt bad about it, at least I did my makeup at like 9:30 in the morning and did my hair the night before. Yes I didn't look that great but it wasn't about me so I didn't really care to much about how I look lol. I had to do my moms makeup too. I was doing makeup all day pretty much but its all good because I like doing it.

Then we were off to the venue until we hit a road block and the driver had to take a detour. It didn't really occur to me why there was a road block until we got there and found out that the power was out. So there we were in a dark bridal suite holding flash lights for the bridesmaids so help then get dress and touching up their makeup. Yep I was putting on lip liner and lip gloss in the dark while my mom was holding a flashlight.While we were singing here comes the bride haha. Don't worry the lights came up ten minutes before the ceremony right before the bride put her beautiful dress on. We were all like YAY!!!! After all that craziness everything went great. The ceremony was beautiful and the ceremony was so much fun. There was a lot of eating, laughing,and dancing.

I wish I had pictures of the makeup looks I did but I don't have any. :( Sorry I wanted to take pictures of the looks I did but there just wasn't anytime. But its all good. I had so much fun that day despite all the craziness. I also had good experience and I hope I get more makeup gigs. I did leave one of my business card by the phone in my hotel room but I bet that the housekeeper just threw it away lol. But you never know.

I hope you had a good weekend and not so busy, and had a good day or night.

Romantic Eye Series: Fashion Wedding Look


Photobucket

Hello Makeup Lovers,

I'm so happy to be posting the second look for the Romantic Eye Series because I just love this look. It's so pretty. I have one more wedding look to go but I don't know when I will be able to film it because my eyes are watering like crazy due to allergies. I may just have to do the last look on one of my friends.

Anyways before I list the products that I used for this look I just want to let you know that you can use any golds, bronzes and browns eye shadows that you have. I know that Too Faced eye shadows are really pricey and the only reason I brought this is because it was on sale and the cute names got to me. If you want colors that are close to the ones that I used I know for fact that the Little Black Beauty Book Warm Python Edition at target have almost the same colors. They are really pretty and only $6.00. And you get whole lot more eye shadows then Too Face.

Here's what I used:

Too Faced Romantic Eye Collection:
Bouquet Toss it's a matte white
Soulmates it's a shimmer white
Honeymoon it's a gold color
Ever After it's a bronze color
A black eye liner by Sephora
a simple size of the Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara by Estee Lauder
From the Sephora Block Bluster Palette
A pink blush
A light Bronzer
A bight pink lip color
A bight pink lip gloss from my glam bag to go on top of the lip color

It's Glam Bag Time Again


Photobucket

Hello Makeup Lovers,

I was about to make a makeup tutorial for you but I forgot to buy light bulbs for my lamp to I can have better lighting. But no worries I will buy them tonight when I’m at Target or Wal-Mart. I always wonder which one I go to more. I think it’s been Target lately. Anyways I'll make it tomorrow night after my spin class, have to work off that birthday cake haha. No really I do. On a brighter note I got my Glam Bag todayyy!!!
Here's what I got!!!:

Photobucket
The London Soho New York Smudge Brush
I was soo happy to see a pink smudge brush. I just love makeup brushes and this one feels really soft. I hope it works well. You can get this at www.sohobeauty.com for $6.99. The site sells all kinds of stuff like brushes, beauty cases, cosmetic bags, and accessories. There are some nice beauty cases on there.
Photobucket

Photobucket

Mirabella Eye Colour in Semiformal which is a pretty light shimmer bronze. It’s really pretty for my blue eyes. :) Now I don't know where I am going to put this little guy because he came with out a case. Yep that’s cool I just let all the little germs get him eww.
This eye shadow is sold at www.mirabellabeauty.com for $10 each and you will have to buy one of the cases that are sold for $17.00 or $32.00 ouch. But at least the colors are pretty.

Photobucket

I got another Circus nail color in Tightrope. which is a nice matte purple. I believe all the colors are matte because I have three out of the five and there’s no shimmer. The one thing that I really love about these nail polish is that they dry in like a minute. This is really good for me because I always smudge my nails. always!

Photobucket

Carols Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer
Hmm I hope this works. I may have to blog about it if it's any good. You can get the full size for $25 at www.carolsdaughter.com. There are tons of other hair products on the site too.

Photobucket
Jane Sparkle Gloss in Sparkle Pink and boy is it pink. And that the way I like it.
You can get a set of three lip glosses at www.janecosmetics.com for $9.99.
That all for now folks haha.I hope you like what you saw and if you really want a glam bag you will have to go to ipsy.com they change the site name and all. But it’s still the same thing.

If you get the glam bag what has been your fav product so far?
Hope you all have a good day or night!

An awesome brithday!


Photobucket

Hello Makeup Lovers!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend like me. I celebrated my birthday on all three days. I had lots of food, laughs, fun, and of course gifts. I got awesome ones this year because they are going to help me out in a big way.

Here's what my family got me:

1. My mom and dad got me a black makeup case for me to used for my neighbor wedding and hopefully to use it for more makeup gigs. And she also got me a $25 dollar gift card to Sephora. Sweet deal! She also made me this awesome peanut butter cake. Yummy!

Photobucket


2. Look forward to new and improve Makeup tutorials coming your way!! My boyfriend got me a new camera called the bloggie by Sony. It’s like the flip cam but he said he had to get this one because the name reminded him of me hahaha. How cute. I am so remaking the pink and blue video. I watch it the other day and saw how bad it was and how you couldn't really see what I was doing. As soon as I make the new one I'm taking the old one off. But I have to finish my wedding series first.

3.The last awesome and very thoughtful gift that I gotten from my brother and his Fiance was a homemade makeup artist apron with the name of my blog on it. Well I could say business now sense I got business cards and a makeup kit. :) It's in the making. I almost cried when I saw this and then I didn't want to take it off lol. My future sister-in-law aunt sewed zebra pockets for my makeup brushes and anything I would need at hand. I just love this and can’t wait to use it. I was so surprise

This was such a fun and thoughtful birthday and it's funny how most of the gift are related to my blog.
Sorry that this post was a little different tonight, but no worries I will have a new post about makeup tomorrow night.I just was so happy about all the stuff that I got and wanted to share it with you!

What was the most thoughtful gift you have ever gotten? And what kind of makeup tutorials you would like to see?

Have a good day or night!

Romantic Eye Series: Classic Wedding Look!


Hello Makeup Lovers,

Photobucket

I did what I promise. I film the look that I posted on my last blog. But I did change two things from it. I used black eyeliner insided of white and I added false eyelashes. So it does look a lot different. But it’s the same eye shadows. Two things I just want to tell you before I go on. First thing is in the middle of the video I used my brush cleaner to wet my brush to make my eye shadow shinier. If you do this use water or your fix spray. I was just being lazy and grab what was close to water ha-ha. Another thing this is my first time using false eye lashes, if they don't look right to you then I’m sorry lol. I did the best I could do. O I forgot to say this in my video but this look is also really pretty for the bride. Now on with the pictures and the list of products.

What I used:
e.l.f. Eyelid Primer
Sephora Day to Night Wear Eyeliner in black
e.l.f. Dramatic False Lashes
Maybelline the Falsies Volume Express in Black Drama
Physicians Formula Happy Booster powder in Translucent.
From my Sephora Block Buster Set:
Pink blush
Bronzer
Light pink lip gloss
Clear lip gloss
Too Faced Romantic Eye Collection:
Kiss the Bride
Cut the Cake
First Dance
Soul mates

Lets Be Too Face!


Photobucket

Hello makeup lovers,

For the past few weeks I have been researching both online and in stores for good makeup products for the up coming weddings that I will be attending. I'm going to be doing the makeup for my neighbors bridesmaids. So I have been putting a makeup kit together slowly week by week. That's kind of why I've been slow on posting the past few weeks, and its still going to be slow for a little while. But I am going to do to stay in touch with you girls so, I will be doing kind of a wedding series. I will be doing make up looks for weddings, bridal showers, and bachelorette parties. It will be a little easy for me and also useful for those of you who need ideas for these events. I will do my best to post about other subjects too don't worry.

I hope this explains why I haven't been keeping in touch with you girls.

So on with my review of this wedding related product! haha

Last friday I went to ULTA with my bff to try out a few products to add to my makeup kit. And to see what deal they were having that day for their 21 days of beauty. If you girls don't know about this then go to ulta.com to check it out. Well I had to buy this deal of the day because the names of the eyeshadow are so cute and wedding related. And I knew the colors would be perfect for both of the weddings I will be going to. Well I'm also a bridesmaids for one of the weddings which is my brothers wedding. Any who the deal of the day was the Too Faced Romantic Eye for $20 it was $33. Not only are the names of the eyeshadows cute, the colors are soo pretty. I know this is going to sound funny but the shadows feel so soft like velvet. The cool thing about this cute kit is that its organize to make three different looks that comes with three how to create the perfect romantic eye cards. If you are a bride or brides mind that doing her own makeup then this is a very helpful product to used. The three different looks are called Day, Classic, and Fashion. Here are the pics and names of the eyeshadows.

OoOo pretty!

Who doesn't like free gifts?


Hello Makeup Lovers,

I hate to be bossy but if you are in need of makeup go to Macys right now!! If it’s open ha-ha.

I'm only saying this because if you spend $35 at the Estée Lauder makeup counter you will get a cute purple Cosmetic Bag filled with Six goodies inside.
I know some of you may think wow $35 is still a lot of money just on makeup but here’s the thing all the products you get last for a long time. I am still using makeup from three bags ago. And I skip one of the gift times. I hope that tells you a lot.

Here’s what you get in your free gift:
A 10 day supply of Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara. This one of the best mascaras I have ever used.
Pleasure Eau de Perfume purse spray.
Travel Size Soft Clean Tender Crème Cleanser. This really does clean your face really well and leaves behind a soft face.
Choice of a deluxe travel size skincare:
In my option the ladies with mature skin should choose Perfectionist Wrinkle Lifting/Firming Serum and Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Crème SPF 15.
For the younger ladies you should choose Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex and Daywear Advanced Multi- Protection Anti-Oxidant Crème with SPF 15.
Choice of a full-size lipstick in Rose tea or candy. Candy is a nice bold pink and rose tea is like a soft wine color.
If you do end up spending over $70 you will also get a set of 3 Pure color High Gloss Shades in Coral Chic, Berry Lush, and Flash Dance and you get a travel mirror with it.

Now I have been buying foundations from Estée Lauder sense I was a teenager. I always feel like my face looks more flawless with them. The one that I am going back to is Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup. Its covers everything even my freckles! If you are in need of a good foundation this ones for you. It’s really good for big events like proms, homecomings, weddings, or just going out. Its will last you all day and night.

In highschool I used their Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup. This one is really good for teenagers or people who don't need too much coverage. And the BB crème is also a really good one too

Most of the time I only buy Foundation from Estee Lauder but some times when I do have the extra money I like to get there Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer. It will give you a natural glow. The downside is its $32 but this baby will last you a year. It did for me. You do get a lot of product. Not just with the bronzer but with all the products.

If you girls want to try Estee Lauder then now is a good time because who doesn't like free gifts? I know I do.

I was trying to put a picture of the gift but it’s not working out for me. Here’s the link to see what it looks like.

Have fun shopping!
