Easter Weekend Makeup

I am so happy that it's Easter time and Spring time! Spring Time is my FAVORITE time of the year.

While looking at pinterest I came across this beauty -------------->
I wish I knew who the makeup artist was so I could give them some credit and pick their brain on what products they used... but I am coming up empty handed in my search.

However I thought it would be fun to share what products I would use to try and recreate it.





LIPS- I would use Snob from M.A.C

CHEEKS- I would use HD Microfinish Blush in First Kiss - bright apricot by Make up For Ever

EYES- 44 LASH by M.A.C, Urban Decay Eye-shadow Primer, Rule eye-shadow by M.A.C and Shroom eye-shadow by M.A.C

Let me know if you try it out and what products you ended up using... I would love to see it!!
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                        Have a Happy Spring DAY!

Oh NO!

Oh my heavens, it's been far to long since I last posted on here! I apologize if you have been waiting at the edge of your seat for a new beauty post... I am sure that is the case.

I have some good news, I am now a certified makeup artist! I completed a two week intensive MAC makeup class at Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design and I LOVED every minute of it!

I feel like my makeup skills progressed so quickly in just those two short weeks... believe me, the first night we had to do makeup on someone I had the crease color piratically up the middle of their forehead and no where near the crease of the eyelid where it belongs. 

At the end of the course we had a photo shoot, I am so happy with the way my photos turned out! (It helps that I had a beautiful model to begin with.) 

I know I have so much more to learn about being a makeup artist and I am pumped to learn EVERYTHING about it! 

I have a few goals in mind:

Take a special effects makeup class

Do 20 faces in 20 days

Assist some awesome makeup artist

Do more photo shoots

Get a paying job :)

These goals will have to be accomplished all in due time... I have a baby on the way, which I am happy my world will revolve around! But if I ever get some free time I hope to fit in these goals. 

Also if you know anyone that is in need of a makeup artist, I hope you will send them my way. 

Until next time..

PS: Another goal is to be better at keeping up with my media pages... blog, facebook and so forth. :)

About Li Lash-

Sales for $140 - Buy NOW for only $125!

I've mentioned before on facebook that I now sale Li Lash, which is an eyelash stimulator. I have had a few people ask me about it so I wanted to tell you some information about Li Lash.

Get Long, Beautiful lashes with Li Lash eyelash enhancement.

Lilash is geared both towards those who want to enhance their lashes naturally and those who wear eyelash extensions because it not only encourages growth, but strengthens existing hairs, offering more support and less breakage

Generally, those who used Lilash agreed that, compared to other lash enhancement products, it worked the fastest and the results were the most dramatic. Those who used the product daily noticed that their lashes were not only longer and healthier, but thicker and fuller as well. People noticed results very quickly and within six weeks those who used Lilash saw full results and were very pleased. Most claimed they would never again need mascara because their lashes were so long and full already

How to Apply Li Lash

1. Apply once a day, morning or evening, to clean dry skin. Allow LiLash to dry for 2 to 3 minutes before applying other cosmetics.
2. Remove the applicator from the tube and carefully wipe off any excess product on the inside of the tube.
3. Apply the applicator to the skin of the upper eyelid along the lash line from inner to outer corner of the eye. See illustration below. A single application stroke is all that is required. LiLash is highly concentrated so little is needed for your best lashes

To avoid irritation do not apply to the lower eyelids or directly to the lashes themselves!

Side effects may occur-

Though the Lilash formula is safe for even the most sensitive eyes, there are some possible side effects may occur. First, some people noticed that there was burning and itchiness if it gets to the eyes. It may last for a couple of minutes. It feels like the burning sensation you get when you get shampoo in your eye. Others found that the formula caused swelling around the eye and discoloration of the upper lid. However, all side effects were easily reversible.

As mentioned earlier I am selling this product for $125 right now, if you are interested please let me know either on this blog in the comments, or on my facebook page.

If you have any other question feel free to ask me, or you can visit Li Lash FAQ's HERE.

Most of my information about Li Lash was found HERE.

Pretty Braids

Braids are showing up on the red carpet and every where else. Here are a few pictures to help you get some styling ideas. OH how I wish I had long hair... sighhhh

One of the great things about braids right now is that they don't have to be perfect to look pretty, if some of your layers don't quite fit into the braid that's ok!

They are great of spring and summer. Just pull your hair up and go out and enjoy the nice warm sun while it last!!

Fun Hair Accessories That Are In Right Now...

Hair Clips

Clips are perfect for short pixie hair styles and I love to use them when I am trying to grow my bangs out. (Which, I think we can all agree when I say growing out your bangs is one big FAT pain!)


Headbands




I Love the flowers and the jewels on these headband! Headbands are nice when I don't have a lot of time to get ready. You can just pop one on your head and go out the door looking more put together.

Bridal or Prom

I am already married, and too old to go to prom but if I were to have an event where I had to do my hair fancy I would pick one of these, I LOVE them all!

Feathers



Feathers are really in right now! They are on cute headbands, clips, and even extensions.

Hot Trends for the Spring

Color Melting Your hair is still in... although some of the magazines are calling it Ombre Color now. Either ways it's a pretty fun look! It's great because it has a very natural, grown out sun-lightened feel to it.




This is one of my favorite things to do with my color clients, it always looks so pretty!







Retro styles are in right now. This would be fun to try out if you have a special event to attend. You'll need a small to medium curling iron to achieve this look.

Pixies- LOVE THEM!! Which is why I am having a hard time growing my hair out.

One thing you'll want to keep in mind is this hair cut is NOT for everyone, and to make sure your pixie has soft, feminine touches so you don't end up looking like a little boy.

With that said I would highly recommend it if you can rock it!
