Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another tutorial.  This goes in part with my Luminess Air review. It's a pretty long video because I show you how to pretty much do the whole shebang...from priming to color matching, foundation, blush, contour, bronzer, blush and even cleaning the machine.  It's pretty much an airbrush 101 course using the luminess system.  If you're interested in learning how to airbrush this is for you!

Hi Bellas,

If you're a frequenter of late night television like myself, you've probably heard about Luminess Air.  Many a nights have I seen their infomercials.  Even before I began my blog I would see this line and wonder about it.  Fast forward a couple of years later with a blog and freelance makeup experience under my belt, I'm no longer a stranger to airbrush makeup.  I've used several lines of Airbrush Makeup and own two different brands of compressors.  I've been on a mission to try out various airbrush lines because I think that each has their benefits and some work better than others.  

Hi Bellas,


I'm back with another tutorial! This entire look was done using drugstore makeup.  I think it's really important to show how you can create great looks with affordable products.  It's important to know what to look for and how to use them...I show you some really good drugstore items that I use on the regular.  The look is a very wearable smokey eye with a pop of color.  This is my first time using the whole zoom in method to film the tutorial, lemme know if you guys like it!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another review and i'm also announcing a huge contest giveaway.  Today I'll be featuring a product that I'm sure many of you have seen if you've ever been in one of my favorite stores - Sally Beauty.  Palladio is a brand that has been at Sallys for a long time.  I even have products from them from high school!

I was glad to have an opportunity to be reintroduced to this product line.  They actually have some really amazing products and they're super affordable, many of them around $10 and less.  Many of their products have the name "herbal" built into them because there are a lot of vitamins and good herbal ingredients infused into them.  Not only do they serve as makeup, but it's also like having built-in skincare.

Hi Bellas,

I'm so happy to finally get this post done! I stayed up late to make sure it was up because I didn't want to put it off any longer. As all of you know, I attended the 2010 IMATS Show in Pasadena about 2.5 weeks ago. It was truly an amazing experience. Thanks to Makeup Artist Magazine for doing an amazing job.

I want to thank my wonderful subbies who came and said hi, the other gurus for hanging out with me, the vendors for being so nice to me, and the Magazine for coordinating everything. I made a complete video where I tell you about my experience and show lots of video clips and pics.

Hi Bellas

Thanks for sticking with me through my absence this week.  I'm settled back into town, and I'm back with another review.  With summer approaching, this review came in the nick of time!  I like to switch my lotions and scents as the seasons change.  This time around, I had the opportunity to try out some products from a line called Not Soap Radio.  The line was developed buy two sisters who started this line as a hobby and it turned into an amazing full-fledged beauty and bath company.


Hi Bellas,

As you all know, I finally attended the infamous 2010 International Makeup Artists Trade Show in Pasadena this last weekend.  It was such an amazing experience and kudos to Makeup Artist Magazine for making it the biggest and best show to date. I know a bunch of you were requesting my haul, and even though I'm out of town, I managed to score an internet connect to make sure to get the hauls up before the buzz was gone.  It was such a long haul that I've split it into two. The first time around, there were some issues with my volume on the Haul Pt 1 but it's fixed now.  I was able to pick up some really amazing items for both my personal and professional kit.  There are some classics that I picked up refills on as well as some new, exciting products.
