May 9th, 2010All about Bobbi!
March 29th, 2010
I did a great event this past weekend for the wonderful prestigious line Bobbi Brown, and I loved it. This was my first event with the line so I was super nervous but all the other makeup artist were fantastic they really made me feel at home. The wonderful people who work for the line have blown me away . They don’t just see it as a pay check they see it as a lifestyle, as if they were Bobbi brown themselves. I connected with the line instantly, it wasn’t about sales, it was about really caring about the makeup and the woman in your chair! I havent been that excited about makeup in a while.
We got the great pleasure to work with one of Bobbi’s global artist, her name was Tia. I mean this woman works next to Bobbi herself and she’s there at fashion week. You name a fashion event she’s there. So needless to say I was very nervous, but what do you know, she was amazing. Not at all like what I was expecting! Tia was a pleasure to work with, I feel very privileged to have been able to learn from her. I took away so much from her in just two short days.
So if you’re looking for a fantastic cosmetic line that you can trust from the foundation all the way to the lash curler and don’t want a sales person pushing product down your throat than Bobbi Brown is the one for you.

March 23rd, 2010Changing Paths
March 23rd, 2010Hello everyone, so I started this blog to talk about makeup and to help women learn and be excited about makeup. The problem seems that I’m not connecting with my own blog. Don’t get me wrong. I love makeup and I love the women I get to work with but you see I need something to give me that push to wright. Not to mention, recently I lost my full time job that I’ve had for a very long time. It’s hard to figure out how to restart my life. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get fired! So I have to pick up the pieces and just immerse myself in Makeup! So far so good , I’ve been getting jobs and I’m getting to work with some great companies. I feel that recent events will allow me to be more honest with all of you.
I want to take all of you along with me on job sites, weddings and when I travel to far off places. This will hopefully help you understand me and understand why makeup is so important to me.
P.S. Have fun with makeup today!
HELP!! I need skincare! Part 1
March 3rd, 2010I realize there are so many different products and skin treatments out there, and it can be really overwhelming to find one thats right for you. So i am here to try and help you find your perfect product, remember this may take some time. Make sure you go some where you can actually try the product before you buy it. Most companies will offer samples.
Lets start with cleansers, because this is one of the most important steps in your daily skincare, especially if you wear makeup. Good news is that cleansers are usually the easier part of this search.
If you have oily skin then you really want to find something that foams up, so it makes your skin feel cleaner. Also look for a cleanser that has a percentage of glycolic acid this will cleanse your skin without drying and tighten the pores. Most companies have there skincare separated into oily, normal, and dry so it shouldn’t be hard for you to find a good one that is right for you.
Here are a few of my favorites.
If you have sensitive skin you might want to use a product like Clarins Water Purify one step cleanser. If you don’t have sensitive skin then Lancome’s Gel Pure Focus cleanser is also good.
For all of you with normal combination skin types you should be looking for something that is cleansing but does not dry the skin. Look for moisturizing elements this will help prevent drying.
For those of you with dry skin ( i feel your pain) then you really want to find either a lotion cleanser that you can just wipe off with a tissue or something with a very mild exfoliator.
I love Aveeno’s moisturizing face bar or Kiehls which is great for sensitive skin.
I really hope this has given you a little more confidence about shopping for you perfect cleanser.
Stay tuned for part 2 when i go over moisturizers.
“Is a pricey mascara really necessary?”
February 5th, 2010So many times i have been asked” is it really necessary to buy a 20 or 30 dollar mascara”. Well it all depends on the person buying the mascara. Say for instance you have very sensitive eyes, then you probably want to insure you are getting a quality product thats not going to cause any irritation. If you are someone who doesn’t worry sensitivity than you could probably get away with using a product from your local drug store. If you have a Target around you even better because they offer some really great product lines like Jemma Kidd and Sonia Kashuk.
Or if your like me and you love love love eye makeup than you probably already have a few favorites. My favorite mascaras are Lancome’s oscillation, or Makeup Forever’s Smokey lash, you can get these at a department store or just go to my store link to get it sent straight to you. But remember never keep a tube of mascara longer than 6 months, they dry out and you never want to use an old product period especially if its your eye area.
