Glam Session with a Focus on a Glowing Complexion


I had a glam session with Joanna a few weeks back - she had questions regarding makeup application since her daily routine consists of only mascara - and we had a great time going over product suggestions as well as technique tips.  

I gave Joanna a bronzy smokey eye that did not overpower the rest of her face & focused on contouring & giving her a glowing complexion + a fuller brow- honestly, how great does her skin look?!  

Joanna loved her makeup so much that she left me a glowing review ! Thanks, Joanna!  I'll be waiting for your call once your boyfriend proposes! ;)

IMATS 2014 Haul

Happy Monday my lovelies!

IMATS has come and gone, and let me just say that this year's turnout was INSANE!  I attended the Sunday show, and there was a line literally 2 blocks long to get into the Pasadena Convention Center. Next year I will be sure to purchase tickets for the 1st day because a lot of items were sold out, much to my disappointment... And probably much to my wallet's delight!  In 2.5 hours, I was able to score the following products:


Face Atelier Foundations - Set of 7 ($150)
My very sad attempt at swatching the Face Atelier Foundations


In the process of creating my own personalized Palette with the PRO Z Palette ($19), and 6 INGLOT lipsticks ($4 each)


My complete Z Palette! It was my first time "de-panning" so I ruined 2 of my CARGO Blu-Ray Powders :-( Ahh!!!!! 


INGLOT Freedom Palette - 10 pan ($60) (this was really pricey.. but I couldn't help it - it was too gorgeous to pass up!)


Bdellium Tools Brushes - I bought so many that they couldn't all fit in the photo.  12 brushes: ($98)



Of course, my ABSOLUTE favorite Brush Cleaner by Parian Spirit ($25 for the enormous bottle, $5 for the spray bottle)



Here I am, absolutely exhausted, but happy as a clam :-)
