Something that made me smile recently was going pumpkin/apple picking with my man. I had a fever, but he's been promising to take me for years. So I dragged my bootie out of bed and sucked it up for a few hours. I don't regret it at all. It was so fun :)

Funniest Sephora Product EVER!

It's called BOO BOO BLING, what is it you may ask? It's bling for a band-aid. Who knew scraps and falls could be so fashionable. I can not believe Sephora has come out with this product. Although to some this may be a silly product, I actually would buy these for friends and family as a spoof gift. These will definitely sell.

How cute would that be as a gift for a friend who just had a surgery, along side a get well soon card, or if you have a scrap you want to cover because you have a super cute dress you wanted to wear to a certain event.

Whoever thought of this was genius! I know what my family's getting in their stockings this Christmas!! (Laughing, but I may be serious).

Price: $6

What do you think?

LOTD- Cyndi Lauper Lip Glass

Lately I've been diving into the colorful lip. I've been wearing my lips up more than my eyes. A new addition to my collection is MAC lip glass Cyndi Lauper. I've had it since it launched a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It's so different from all the colors I normally go for, it's a reddish coral. So unique!

What lipsticks have you been loving for fall?

FOTD tutorial with my sister n law

My sister n Law has a wedding this weekend and she needs to sleep over away from home. So she was bummed she wouldn't have her makeup artist sis near by. I told her to come by and I would teach her how to do her eyes the way we thought best for the event. I did one eye and she did the other. She's the maid of honor for her cousin's big day, and her dress color is black. All the brides maids are wearing red dresses. So we thought it'd be gorgeous if she had a black smoky eye and red lips. We searched for the perfect red lipstick, and we chose one by Makeup Forever- 21 (bright pearly red).

Eyes:

We primed her eyes with Urban Decay Eden.

The eyeshadow: Sephora collection smoky eye kit (this kit shows the steps to the perfect look)

Mascara: Maybelline the Falsies

Eyeliner: Makeup Forever 0L black pencil (we smoked it out)

Face:

Foundation: L'oreal True Match

Blush: Nars Orgasm

Bronzer: Physicians Formula Light beige/warm

Lips:

Lipstick: MUFE Rouge 21

My sister n law and her daughter (my godchild). Isn't she precious?
On that note.
Hope everyone's having a great October so far.

Bring it on Macy's!

It's about time! The most commonly asked for brand at Sephora is "Bobbi Brown." Atleast 3 times, everytime I work, I have a cleint asking me if we sell Bobbi Brown, and I have to say "no," and send them to Macy's. But not anymore, mwaahahahaa! Sephora now sells Bobbi Brown! Take that Macy's, bring it on!

You can check out the collection here.

I honestly have never tried the collection ever! So I'm super excited to see what all the fuss is about. Anyone really love Bobbi Brown? What are your favorites from the line?

How makeup can start a smile trend.

I had a client who is currently going through Chemotherapy and her eyebrows had fallen out due to the treatment. Her goal was to get the most natural look, and I was ambitious to satisfy her need. I tried a few different products, like eyebrow powder, markers and pencils. I really like the marker because it's water proof and usually people recieving chemo treatment can have hot sweats. But considering we were just working with skin and no brow, the markers looked so fake and so did the powder (plus the powder would never stay after a slight sweat). I avoided doing the pencil because I thought it would look the fakest, but I grabbed the right pencil: Benefit instant brow pencil in medium to dark. Her brows looked so natural. She was so happy with the results, and her boyfriend approved of my work. I was so happy to make her feel good about her brows again, she looked great!
To shape her brows I used stencils from Anastasia, petite arch, and it really worked well with her frame, and was the shape she once had. This product is really a good tool.
It felt good to help someone in a hard time in their life, her smile really made my day.

Share a Story with me below of a time makeup made you smile :)
