French manicure!

Getting manicures are important when you're pregnant! Got my nails done at my favorite hole in the wall with Tiffany!



Watch out! Lime Crime China doll time!

Hey everyone!!

Today I decided to use my "Lime crime" china doll pallet. I love the vibrant colors so much! I decided to use all five colors. In addition, to the pallet, I used aqua brow to fill in and shape my brows, nyx liquid liner, urban decay pencil liner 24/7"desire" blush from Nars, Naimies brand cream foundation stick in "tender beige", and Lise Watier "Havana" bronzer for the contour. Mary kay highlighter stick to highlight the brow! For Mascara I used voluminous in black! Let me know if you have questions!

Skin Care

For years I suffered from cystic acne and tried everything under the sun to fix it. Eventually I found a few things that dramatically changed my skin. So here is my routine, enjoy!

1. The Clarisonic - used at least once a day with a gentle cleanser (morning or night)
2. Mary kay 3-in-1 cleanser for combination to oily skin
-used morning &night, just a pea size
3. Vitamin c serum- this helps heal acne scars and helps regenerate collagen and keeps your skin clean (morn & night)
4. Day solution (has sunscreen SPF 35), super light (only in the morning)
5. Moisturizer Mary kay oily to combo skin
Then I apply my makeup
6. At night: use the Clarisonic with the MK cleanser
7 . Vitamin c treatment (again)
8. Even essence cream (only at night), to even out and fad scars and dark spots
9. Night solution (clear solution that has vitamins in it that help stop pimples) - the solution acts like veil and protects your skin while you sleep.
10. Last but not least! My Mary kay oil free moisturizer for oily to combination skin

Seems like a lot, but has made my skin clear and silky smooth even during pregnancy! Hopes this helps you all!

Ps- For long lashes and fuller brows I use Mary Kay brow and lash serum! I was a skeptic at first, but it makes my lashes grow longer, fuller and makes your brows amazing. I apply the serum at night before I go to bed.

Tiffany's wedding makeup

One of my closest and best friends is getting married! Of course when she asked me to do her wedding makeup, I was both touched and excited! We will be using Dinair airbrush foundation, Yessey beauty lashes and the "romantic eye" pallet from too faced, to name a few. Stay posted here, while we post all our work in progress before her big day! Tiffany has blue eyes and has a very light olive complexion, which makes the "romantic eye" pallet the best choice for her due to their rich pigments and vibrant tones that compliment her in the best way possible.

Makeup Forever HD foundation

Hello friends!

So for a while now I have heard so many people talk about "Makeup forever HD" liquid foundation. From celebrities to the fabulously dressed bank teller, all have endorsed this product. As a makeup artist as well as a makeup addict, I have tried many MUFE products and really liked them all, but some how, never got around to trying the hyped best selling HD foundation. Yesterday, after visiting my favorite makeup store, "Naimies" in LA, I decided to give it a shot. This product is outstanding! I have old acne scars that were completely covered by this lightweight water based formula. The best part? It lasted all day! I am so thrilled with this product. If you have not tried it yet, definitely "treat yo self!" and buy your perfect match today :-) along side with taking a chance on the foundation, I also picked up "MUFE (makeup forever) Aqua brow". This highly pigmented masterpiece applies almost like a lightweight mousse. To apply this product, simply squeeze out a small dot and use your angled eyebrow brush and apply small strokes as if you were apply pieces of hair to your brow. The end result? Natural and gorgeous brows that make you eyes stand out. Hope everyone had a great Wednesday!






New Years New You! (Well kind of...)

This Year has brought many new changes, that quite frankly came in left over "doggy bags", from 2012. God has been really wonderful and has blessed my husband and I with so much. We are expecting our first child, this April 2013, and could not be more excited. Please join us for the next three months as we prep for baby Callaway, in conjunction to exploring all the newest and latest makeup trends. God bless you all!
