MARTHA STEWART AND WEDDING BELLS!

THIS IS LONG OVER DUE!
I am not going to lie.
Weddings are not my favourite beauty even.
If I say yes to doing your makeup, or what ever
*It is cause I like you*
Please don't destroy that relationship-by being an infamous
BRIDEZILLA!
which JENN AND TYLER WERE NOT!
My best friend Jenn ( below) and Tyler (her husband also below)
asked me to acompany her to NYC-after winning
 the pop up wedding
Styled by Martha Stewart Wedding and featured in Weddingbells.
OF COURSE I WOULD BE THERE!

Happy Tyler and Jenn-awww cutting their
picturesque cake (barely shown)
but who cares-look how white her teeth are.


Theo-did Jenns hair.
I sewed her extensions in.
Jen wears Era Face EveryDay foundation
Shu Uemura Soft Cross Eye lashes
Mac LipGlass in PURRRR
Blush in Armani Cream #1

SPARKLES ARE SO FRESH!



"Sparkles are the Herpes of Makeup"
it is so true: once they are on-they get everywhere!

First I would like to introduce
with a moment of silence
for these amazing pumps: from Badgley Mischka
1,2,3
DROOL!
I did not even bother looking at the price tag!
                    sometimes flipping the over is the worst decision any of us could do! EVER!
so-I decided to look for the replica.



This is what I found! Aldo! www.aldoshoes.com

50.00 www.aldoshoes.com


www.eyekandycosmetics.com
Above:
glitter
Below:
Minerals
  
The shitty part about wearing sparkles is the they wear you.
A lot of glitter available is not safe for the face and has a lot of fillers.
NOT TO MENTION THEY FALL EVERYWHERE!
Eye Kandy has come out with a great solution:
Make a glitter that is safe for the eyes and to mix even with Gels for your nails.
The plastic is made from the same stuff that contact lenses are made of.
The LIQUID SUGAR is a bonding product that does not allow the sparkles to move.
Drool for these colors:  I am in Love with
Berry Blast: A pewter with a hint of a soft cool blue.
Marshmallow: A white iridescent heaven.
Pixie: A cool mix of greens and golds.
Sour Grape: A delicious deep Purple.

Happy Shopping!

Dehydration is for Apple Chips not your face or lips


Winter! I am so sorry, for even uttering those words.
But lets face it, Winter is arriving we are all feeling it.
The first signs of aging can be prevent by attacking dehydration-before it starts.


photo from : http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/
Shu Uemura available at Holt Renfrew
Introduces the Newest DepSea Hydrability Program-
Complete with a lighter and more rich moisturizer (I use the lightest one)
A Lotion-most of us call this a toner it is like a drink of water for your skin.
and a concentrate that I use to boost my hydration levels in my skin
and of course an eye cream.

I really love the hydration emulsion-which is the lighter of the two moisturizers.
It has a gel texture, and extremely clean fragrance and its in a glass bottle.
This line could be considered a teacher-because it teaches your skin to self hydrate it self.
offering 24hrs. of moisturizing heaven.
For those whom are more concerned about aging and then moisture or hydration visit the Redjuvenus line complete with Lycopene and Lichi Nut Lipids to help your skin rejuvenate and hydrate it self.

Keep your lips un-chapped and soft and smooth all fall and winter by using and
intense hydrator:

Shu Uemura has the Depsea Hyrdability moisturizing lip balm
that also teachers your skin to hydrate it self.-Flavorless and Scentless but to some people they say it taste like it is a little sweet. This product does not leave my kit-all my models start their look off with this product because in minutes it softens even the scaliest of lips.

For those of you who need a little bit of color-YSL offers Golden Gloss a multi-reflective smooth gloss that adds a mild to medium cover that also contains Nigelle and Cameline Oils to help protect the lips. This season I am crushing on #14 Golden Purple.
also available at Holt Renfrew-in Edmonton I see Cindy for my personal lip service.


You can not forget about about your hands or feet or body:

For my hands and cuticles year round I have been returning back to a gorgeous olive based product that is small enough to fit into your back pocket-about 18 dollars.
I was wary of the fragrance at first-but once I smelled it, it was so fresh and slightly fruity.
It absorbs in to the skin really fast and is non greasy.
Message me if you need this product.

For Feet-
Full of antioxidants and Vitamin c-I am all about Double Coverage from the Opi feet line.
Men-don't mind this product either because of the peppermint and it helps to combat foot odor.
about 30.00-contact me if you need this

I really want to write about a body care line-but there has yet to be one that I love. So Until Next time: Happy shopping.

TOUCHE ÉCLAT

This ever so popular Radiance Highlighting God-has now launched a new color
For those with a more yellow skin tone.

TOUCHE ÉCLAT NUMBER 8

This product has been living and re-living in my kit for six years.
All you makeup artist out there know that-we rarely ever purchase the same items to replenish our kits with.
I love love love this product-not only for how easy it is to use and blend but its attractive to use and great portability because it is light weight and the lid on the cap seals tight.

This Radiance Pen is used anywhere that I need a little pop even under the lips and under eyeshadow or just under the ends of the eyebrows-a fool proof way of highlighting.
I generally don't use it as a concealer but-I have and its a nice light to medium coverage.
Another great option is just to use this MEGA STAR PRODUCT to refresh your self during the day to night transformation with out having to go home and start all over again.

I use my Armani Blender brush while I am blending but it is not necessary you can use your fingers or the brush applicator that comes with it.

Number 1: has a slight salmon pink tone to it great for those dark circles and vain spots on the face.
Number 2: has a nice peachy ivory tone as I like too call it-I use it for those with a little more olive in there skin,
Number 3: is for my TAN beauties. I used on a black woman under her foundation to give the center of her face a little more glow and pop-kind of like what a RING FLASH would do-so she could walk around like a Beauty Shot all day.
Now it is time for Number 8-to Shine. the most yellow beige tone of them all-designed for Asian skin tones-but definably not limited too.
Available at Holt Renfrew or The Bay. $50.
Happy Shopping

It is that time of year: when we are thinking its better to give than to receive.
or are we really saying:
"If I don't give, I wont receive"
There are always those
GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING

-have a mobile spa company- and get all of your friends pampered at the same time while opening your gifts they are getting treat like a Queen by yours.
-a Grand picture frame completed with memories is great even for the guys---
Does he love love love love sports? his favourite teams picture-all through out the frame
and what ever memory is going to jog a great impression, I once made a picture frame full of cut outs from news paper articles on his fave sport and hockey pucks that were all shredded up surrounded the whole frame-it was awesome,simple, memorable and inexpensive.
-a docking station for that music lover.
