MUST HAVE HYDRATING MIST!

I am so freaking in love with HYDRATING products!

--They are great for anybody who lives in NORTH AMERICA: the land of the dehydrated!

When people are oily but yet they have very tight feeling skin or flake they could be lacking in hydration!

Hydrating products are vital in any makeup artist kit!

-Whether it be an eye cream,lip balm or my favourite a hydrating mist!

Some people use a hydrating mist to set their makeup or a quick refresher!

I use hydrating mist to help the skin look more translucent, thus creating a natural glow! MY FAVOURITE PRODUCTS FOR BRIDES!

A Hydrating mist helps to plump up the skin-by swelling the dermal layers of the skin creating a more youthful and brighter effect. When the hard layers of the skin get dry they become white and grey-ish toned (think about your hang nails-when they get dry it doesn't look like skin anymore-it looks like dry dead scales that are white and unsightly)So-a hydrating mist can help to soften those hard layers give a more translucent and vibrant appearance!

HERE ARE MY TOP TWO!

SUNDAY MUST HAVE! GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND!

To have a vital carry in Makeup-or fashion, you need a very strong support system

Avenue Womans Spring 2010 What to Wear:

Makeup: Adrianne Thompson

Whether it be friends, family or mentors-if you don't have it your probably going to fail.All it takes is one person to push you and your passion to the next level.

A support system is someone who doesn't always agree with your work,someone who loves your work,someone who pushes your limits, someone who in general believes that your talent is needed and helps you explore that dream, but can also keep you grounded.

Today: My must have is Klyment Tan. A huge part of my career and the best part of my portfolio is thank full to Klyment. A photographer,Print maker and newly a men' wardrobe perfectionist, makeup artist and hairstylist. All around a great friends: his support has allowed me to shine a little bit more in Edmonton and has allowed me re-discover my passion for fashion.

Putting me behind the lens of a camera-I discovered I could be a pretty sick shooter. I suggest when you guys check out an area of the industry: CHECK IT ALL OUT! get dirty, you may discover something else that you love which is why I work in all facets of the industry: I LOVE IT ALL. HAIR MAKEUP AND WARDROBE!

Models: Sean and Victoria Stinchcombe for Kingsway Mall.

THANK YOU KLYMENT

http://www.klyment.com/

The photos are just some of the amazing people that I get to work on with Klyment.

My other great photographer friends: I am not forgetting about you either

Curtis Comeau, Corey Thompson, Micheal Shandro, and Grant Olson.

Thank you all!

O.k. readers: So it is time to throw out the hate and keep the love.

Be thankful for your critics-but take it in slowly. what they may say now may feel like a sharp sword: SOMETIMES it takes a while to make sence.

Just like when know it all mom says: to eat your vegetables!

Happy shopping!

TUESDAY STUMBLE: ARMANI EXCHANGE

Armani Exchange doesn't make an appearence very often although their down to earth contemporary style will for sure this Spring: Infact I just order some low riding cargo pants-not low in the ass but in the croch so way lower.-

Dsquared has a great version of these pants too:

And what looks like to be Simon Nessman gracing our eyes! DROOL!

--if its not him I'm sorry but this guy is major!

Armani Exchange is opening up in West Edmonton Mall across from T&T taking over the Tristan & America space which relocated to Europa Boulavard joining the popular Urban and High Grade as well as the awesome beauty store Beauty Junky a must stop shop for any beauty lover.

STUMBLE! FACIAL HEAVEN!

Umi & Co

http://umimakeupstudio.webs.com/

OMG! So I stumbled on this wonderful cute boutique that offers so much skin care advice and so much make-up tips.

LADIES WITH THE MONO LID: GO SEE THE FAB MAKEUP ARTIST HERE!

The wonderful store offers permanent makeup and facial services-Korean Facial Services

THAT'S MY STUMBLE:

What is so awesome about a Korean Facial is that they are so energizing: I think that this is in part due to the amazing facial and neck massage that I received for a good hour.

I actually fell asleep-even though the facial massage was deep and consistent.

My facialist-used a Ginseng product and she told me that it would do the work to keep my skin looking bright, hydrated and fresh!

I woke up an hour and fifteen minutes later-with the most light and enriched feeling that I HAVE EVER received from a facial-AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!

Most Facials: I don't care to much for-you scrape you poke you do a light massage and you leave me with a mask on my face and you come back and I pay 100+ for, Here I paid 50.

________________________________________________

Umi & Co- Carry the ever so popular John Masters Organic-plus the shampoo that is great for dull ends and oily scalps and the most amazing soap that has exfoliaters in it-great for the boys.

Diane Brill: The sparkliest Prettiest lipstick and glosses EVER!

and the popular Korean color and skin care line:

Laneige: Has a Snow Crystal Dual Foundation that actually comes with a concealer on top-for such an amazing price. I don't remember what it is I think under 40.

That is a full size concealer and foundation:

The products have an spf and they work to brighten your skin:

----It is also HD sensitive so they are very fine and wont sit heavy on the skin.

The product hydrates the skin as if your skin took a really big drink of water and works with your skins own radiance to give you a natural glow.

----So when people say "Hey, I love your glow" -this time you really own it.

Happy Shopping!
