Mac Cosmetics Pro Class

I took my first Pro class from Mac last Sunday in Wash, DC. Mac offers pro classes to their pro members in a variety of topics on makeup and application. I took the Bridal makeup class. It was amazing! This particular class was for 2 hours and the price was $100 (that was fully redeemable in products). The instructor was one of Mac's Senior Pro Artists, Tiffany Johnston.
The line to get inside, this was a SOLD OUT class!
 Tiffany was a great instructor. She has been a makeup artist for over 20 years! The first part of the class she put us at ease and asked us what we wanted to learn out of the class and she answered all of our questions from contracts, kit essentials, bridal consultations, rates, to our professionalism. The second half of the class she did a full bridal look on one of the Mac employees.

After the learning part of our class was over we were able to purchase our products! The $100 that we paid for the class is a actually a gift certificate reserved for us once we get to the class. We had the choice of using the gift certificate there or using it at another time. I chose to use my gift certificate there. I needed and wanted a lot of items. I picked up a couple of lip glasses, lip stick, concealer, foundation, paint pots, blush, brush cleanser, a few eye shadows and some mascara.
My Mac Haul!
Overall the class was EXCELLENT! I love to learn about perfecting my craft in makeup so I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and it was just great being in a class with other makeup artists from all ages, races and both genders. It was eye opening to talk with them and see that no matter how long they've been in the business or how much clientele they have- they're still eager to learn and have the same desire to polish their skills. I will be taking more classes in the future :)

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger,  Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red interi

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face.

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig
