I'm back.... and Wedding Pics

I'm back from my vacation!!!! I had a great time. I'm still getting adjusted from the Caribbean weather to the Fall weather. I hope to post some pictures next week of my vacation. In the meantime I wanted to post some pictures of the wedding I did makeup for last month. The pictures are taken from Creative Village Collection Photography http://www.creativevillagecollection.blogspot.com. Their blog can be found on the blog roll on the right.


The Flower girl, my first time doing children's makeup. She wanted eyeshadow and lipstick.


Eyes and Brows

For the eyes I used Woodwinked (brownish-gold) Saddle (light brown) Blanc Type (beige) eyeshadows. All from Mac


For foundation I used Graftobian HD creme foundation and Elf pressed powder.

The final look :)

On her cheeks I used Elf's Pink Passion blush, nude lip liner and a pretty pink color from my Kryolan lip palette.


Bridesmaid

She wanted a very simple, light look with a pink eye and clear lip. So, I did foundation, powder and a pink eye using my Coastal Scents eye palette and clear lip glass from Mac.

The lovely bride, Joy and myself.

I love this picture, I think it's important to establish a friendly relationship with clients as well as provide exceptional services. Joy was a repeat customer, I was able to do her engagement photo shoot and wedding pics!

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years. It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me. The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

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...
