Showing a POP of Color!

Hello my Lovelies!  Sorry for the late posting; I got caught up first with one thing and then another...you all know how that goes!  Anyway, in honor of the really beautiful weather that we've been having, I decided to do this look for you...

PINK (Mani) WEDNESDAY: Paparazzi Pleaser

How are you today, my Lovelies?  It's time for another edition of Pink Wednesday and I must confess...no pink today!  I try not to remove my polish more than once every five or six days, and I totally wasn't thinking when I did my last manicure!  Oh well, so I don't review a pink polish--surely this isn't that big a deal!  

LET'S GET READY FOR SPRING!!!

We're here once again Lovely People...the sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing madly, and GASP!!! the trees and flowers are even beginning to show a slight (maybe more than slight) green haze.  SPRING IS COMING, and rather quickly, as it seems that most of the country didn't have too much of a winter.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BlackUp Liquid Foundation

Hey there Lovelies!  I haven't done video product review in quite a while, so I decided to do a review on BlackUp Cosmetics' Liquid Foundation .  I'm cross posting my video from YouTube (yes, I post videos from

LOL TECHNIQUE CLASS: Applying Foundation

Hello my Lovelies and I hope that your day is going well!  In looking at the poll so far...(WHAT???!  You haven't voted in my poll yet?  Check out my left hand side bar and weigh in on what you want me to feature on my blog!)  Anyway, several folks have said that they wanted to see me talk about more tips, tricks and techniques so today's post is about techniques used to apply foundation.

Kevin James Bennett and the BULLETTPROOF BRIDE

Good morning my Lovelies!!   Hope all of you had a great (and safe) weekend; we had some very tumultuous weather here in Ketucky.  I had the great honor of attending a workshop session at the Makeup First School of Makeup Artistry in Chicago on March 2nd--the topic, the "bulletproof bride" and the presenter was none other than Mr. Kevin James Bennett, industry expert, Emmy award wining makeup artist, and all-around powerhouse

Face of the Day: Meet Kellie Fish!

Hi there my Lovelies!  I just recently had my first photoshoot with photographer Casey Dumaine and model Kellie Fish--I was soooo excited!  Casey has graciously consented to work with me in building my first MUA portfolio.  Just thought I'd share a few of the pics with you and tell you what I used to get the clean/natural beauty look that I was going for:

PINK (Mani) WEDNESDAY: My Heart's DESIRE...!

Good Morning my Lovelies!  Again, I apologize for the recent lack of posts--my trusty laptop once again was in the hospital and I was without it for a week!  Talk about suffering withdraw...

Anyway, I shall try again and hopefully all with stay well with my equipment!  Today's offering in the Pink Wednesday series is Revlon's Just Tinted in Desire, a bright rasberry-ish pink jelly.

PINK (Mani) THURSDAY?!?

Hello my Lovelies!  I know, I know, this is a little late--oops!  Had this written some time ago, but apparently this little gem didn't make it to the scheduler...

While this mani isn't strictly pink, I included it under the PINK heading; Milani's La Vie En Rose and Sinful Colors' Purple Diamond make guest appearances.

FAVORITE LIPPES!

Just in time for Valentine's Day...some of my favorite red, pink and even purple lippies!  I have to tell you all, I'm definitely a RED girl, but lately I've found a couple of pinks and even a purple that have snagged me.  Displayed on the left is perhaps my most favorite red lip:  NSFW Lip Tar by OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics).  This product is AWESOME--applies like a gloss, has the opacity of a matte lipstick, dries to a satin finish...and stays put!  A little goes a long way and it comes in a gazillion colors.  In my opinion, every woman should have a red lippie in her arsenal...

How CLEAN Is Your Makeup?

Good day, my Lovelies!  Can you honestly answer the question asked in the title?  Before I became a makeup artist, for whatever reason I thought that as long as I didn't share my makeup with other people, my makeup was clean for me to use.  Boy, I couldn't have been more WRONG!!!

PINK (Mani) WEDNESDAY: Santee and NYX

Hello Lovelies!  Wow, it feels like I've been gone for so long--unfortunately I took my laptop in to have a routine clean up done and found out that I had several nasty viruses.  Hence, my baby had to stay in "hospital" for several days for treatment--so, no posts!  Now, all is well and we're back to regular programming!

Today's offering is Santee Cosmetics polish in Light Nude...
