OOH LA LASH!

Hey gals! Just wanted to hip you to the hottest new mascaras out on the market! Whether you want, longer, stronger, thicker, green, or blue lashes, these mascaras are definitely worth a try!!!!!

Lengthening:


Smashbox Cosmetics Lash DNA. The bristles on the wand are, "double-helixed" which is sure to lengthen like you couldn't imagine!

Waterproof:


My personal fav: DiorShow by Christian Dior. If what you need is a great water-proof mascara that thickens, this puppy has your name on it :). Just ask my brides if they loved their lashes! They do :)

Color Trends:


Yves Saint Larent Faux Cils mascara in a variety of colors is for you bold chicas out there :) Spotted on the fall runways in the color grey, this is soooo 2010!

Mineral Based:


100% pure bareMinerals and antioxidants, this high performance mascara has a 360 degree comb to separate, lengthen, and lift!

Lifting:

One coat of thi hard-wax mascar, and your fab curly flutter's a go---courtesy of Anastasia herself! She is the grail of eyebrows among the Hollywood's elite. I loooooove her eyebrow pencils!

Volumizing:


Don't let the bristles intimidate you, Dolls. Use just as you would as with any other mascara wand. This sassy upgrade has the same spherical brush to capture tiny lashes at the root, with the added benefit of a lash-lengthening formula!

Multi Task:



I loooooove to use clear mascara on almost every photoshoot. It is perfect for keeping brows in place, for male models lashes, or for my super natural gals :)

Do I have you excited about mascaras? I hope so! E-mail me your personal favs!

Gorgeous Guy Alert!

Hello Fab Chicas! I hope you all are having a wonderful summer :) Wedding season is upon us, so I am not able to post as much as I would like. I do promise however, to make every post worth the wait, Dolls! :) I bring to you two, "Gorgeous Guy Alerts". I had the pleasure of working with two terrific Heyman Talent Models a couple weeks ago. I had a blast, and they look, GORGEOUS :)

Special thanks to Shannon Williams Photography. The baddest photog around :)

The first model I bring you is Jay Davis. Jay is such a ray-of-sunshine to work with. Very humble, and unaware of his handsomness :)
Ladies, can you believe an innocent face like this belongs to a boxer? Yes! He is :)







For Jay, I chose to stick with light, and natural. I started off by professionally grooming his brows, a wonderful concealer stick by Bobbi Brown, Mac Select Sheer powder, and Burts Bees chapstick. It is my own personal belief that every guy should maintain a well groomed brow. It takes years off of him by, "opening the eye", and is very elegant.









Our next model is Tony Banks. Tony is also a gem to work with. A true gentlemen, soft spoken, but hilarious. Even while I groomed his eyebrows, he stayed ever calm, and gentle :) Don't let those puppy dog eyes fool you. Tony is a Black Belt in Martial Arts!!!!!! I used the same products as mentioned above for Jay, but in the appropriate colors :)





Again, thanks again to Shannon Williams for the fabulous pictures :) It is always a pleasure working with him!

Hope all is well everyone! I am off to prep for a modeling job for Wendys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lethal Lips!

Hello dolls! With the fall season approaching, now is the time to get ready to work the darker lip! Don't worry! Everyone has a dark lip color that is chic, yet elegant for them. The trick is just finding what works :) Darker lips make your teeth appear whiter, and are a fabulous accessory.
Before we go into the hottest new burgundy's, wines, and reds, I must remind you all how important it is to start with a well moisturized lip. Darker lips can highlight every imperfection one has :)



I personally love using basic sugar, and gently massaging the granules into my lips. I rinse, and pat dry. You can also take a tooth brush, and massage daily. Rubbing a face cloth across your lips while bathing, also works wonders.

For a major splurge, you can try Laura Gellers, 'Lip Strip'. At $16.00 a pop, it lasts about three months, and leaves your lip soft/supple.



Next, you will want to apply a thin layer of pressed powder, concealer, or foundation to the lips. This gives your lipcolor something to adhere to :)



Your next step will be to line your lips. You will want to choose a lip liner that compliments the lip color. It does not need to match perfectly. Ladies, please do follow your lip line exactly. Drawing a line outside of your lips is an instant way to "date" your look, and looks un-natural.



Now, you are ready for that lip color! Below, you will find some of the best on the market :)



Laura Gellers' creme couture lipstick in the shade, 'Bordeaux'. This matte formula is stocked with silicones for a soft, weightless finish. Even though this puppy is matte, not to worry! It is very conditioning!



I love Givenchy Rouge Interdits' lipstick in, 'Flirting Brown'. This is sure to give you a "va-va-va-voom" pout.



Loracs' lipstick in, 'Leading Lady' is so beautiful! Infused with antioxidants, this lipstick has a special SMS complex (Second Messenger Complex) that helps counteract the visible signs of aging! Yay!



Isn't this gorgeous? It is Yves Saint Laurents' lip color in, 'Swirly'. This color-shine complex keeps lips visibly smoothed, plumped, and radiant----not to mention, drenched in a decadent display of color!



Here we have Duwops' limited addition lip color in, 'Private Red'. Made with classic "mood lipstick" technology of the 70's, this formula adapts to your body to create the perfect red for you.

That is all for now lovely ladies :) Hopefully this gives you a great place to start! Below are images of women showcasing an array of reds. :)







You see? Anyone can wear red! (Yep! That last pic is me! Photo courtesy of Shannon Williams Photography)

Gotta run! Beauty calls!

Beach Bag Buys! All under $25.00!!!!!

Hey chicas!!!!!! If you have left Columbus, and you are in the heat, (smile) here are great beauty buys to keep you looking sizzlin' hot!!!!!

No matter what your hair type is, everyone needs SPF 15 at minimum for their hair. Try Miss Oops Block Your Locks Finishing Spray:



Need to freshen up? Spritz your toes, under arms, declotee.. Anywhere you want to smell fresh with: 'Dove Go Fresh Body Mist'. My personal fav is, 'Burst'.. It smells of fresh nectarines.

Need an instant pick-me-up? Whether your on the beach, or in your office, I love this trick. Fill an empty spray bottle with your favorite skin toner. Refrigerate, and lightly spritz your face. Don't worry, your make-up won't budge. Just hold above your face about eight inches, close your eyes.. Inhale positive energy.. Exhale negative.. Now, spritz. Don't you feel better?



I absolutely love to use this next product when I feel slugglish... It really helps me get going before an early morning wedding, or photoshoot. 'Lumene Time Freeze Instant Cooling Eye Stick'. You just apply this underneath your lower lashes for an instant refresher..


I am someone who can perspire very easily. If you are like me, and don't want to worry about not being as fresh as possible, try, 'Secret Clinical Strength'. I sometimes work on twelve hour shoots, and this deoderant has never failed me, even when I am at my most hormonal! ;)


The last product I bring you, is Clarins Sunblock. I have used their products for years, and LOVE THEM! They are derived from natural plant extracts, smell wonderful, and provide the coverage we need!



That's all for now cookies! I can't wait to share another, 'Who's That Girl' post!

Gorgeous Guy Alert!

Hi ladies! I am back with another, 'Gorgeous Guy Alert'. :) I always start off by saying I haven't met a man that can even hold a candle to my hubby (smile), but I do love to post these :)
The model I bring you today is: Adam Stone of Heyman Talent Modeling Agency. Adam is a professional model, and is definitely what you call, "tall, dark, and handsome".. Adam needed pictures for his modeling portfolio, and quickly called on me for wardrobe, hair, and make-up. It was a great pleasure working with him.

The wonderful Shannon Williams Photography provided pictures, which you will see below. Ladies, would you like your guy to have a well groomed look? I highly recommend getting him on a great skin care regime, followed up by a well groomed brow, concealer such as : www.themenpen.com, and great hair.

Even for the biggest 'guys guy', following these steps will give your beau added confidence, and his look will be one you can appreciate!

For Adam, I groomed his brows, applied concealer, tinted moisturizer, and Bed Head products to his hair.

Here is Adam before:



And After. Do you see what a basic brow shaping can do?:















That's for now tootsie pops! Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful weather!
