Important Post - 10 Ways to Be Happy

6:00 AM

Hi Bellas,

I was cleaning out some old blog posts and found a draft of a post from years ago that I wrote when I was going through a depressed stage in life. I obviously kept it because I knew I'd want it for another rainy day. After reading through these personal feelings, I decided to publish it. Because I know someone out there will appreciate it. Take a look!

A Drag Queen Told Me to Buy This...Makeup!!!

6:00 AM

Hi Bellas,

When a Drag Queen recommends a makeup product to you, you buy it! That's what happened to me. I was at a local costume shop buying professional makeup for my students' makeup kits and an amazing drag queen recommended this awesome product. It was foundation, highlight and contour in one. I gave it a first impressions test to see if it would go from the drag queen stage to my everyday makeup routine. Check out the results!

FOTD: That Go To Makeup Look

Hi Bellas,

Do you ever have a go-to makeup look that you know is pretty, safe and will work on any occasion. I always teach my students to have a couple of these looks on hand to give their clients who have no idea of what makeup look they want. I think an ideal look is a bronze eye. I mean it's brown, it's sparkly, you're good to go! Check it out!
