A Hair Post! Finally Kym.......

I received an email from a viewer stating that I never post pictures of my hair work.
So, Here are the few I had in my phone.........


















I promise to take more while I work (if I remember & the client doesn't mind) & post my "hair artistry" more often! :D

The Makeup Show L.A 2011\

Hey Beautiful People!!

I attended The Makeup Show L.A. on Sunday. This was my first time attending & I had a BALL! Unfortunatley, because it fell on a Sat/Sun instead of a Sun/Mon, I worked Sat & was only able to attend Sun. In my opinion, they were hosting better classes Sat so I missed out but I DID get a few deals!! Looky what I picked up......>>>>



Upon receiving my makeup show wrist band, I was given a free Kevyn Aucoin gloss in Jupitesse Metallic Blue. The packaging is SO Fly but I'll probably never use it. :-/


My first stop was the Kissable Coutoure booth. Isn't the packaging lovely? I purchased Tyler (a purple color) & Fantasies (a brilliant red).












I also got to meet the man behind Kissable Coutoure, Mr. AJ Crimson!














Then I walked over to the Crystal Wright booth & had my book signed. She's super duper nice & pretty funny!











She specifically asked me to post this photo & not the other 2 we took. I think I look pregnant in the face here. Ughhhh..
(I'm NOT preggers by the way)










Then.......I ran in to Elyessa from Purse Buzz & Koren of Enkore. They are absolutely the best!



I attended a class he gave. It was very informative.










And sat & listened to these ladies (whos names I canNot remember) speak about how to get into TV/Film makeup. Great advice was given.














These dear 'ol face charts were three 10packs for $20, so I picked these up to get my face chart practice. I'm terrible at face charts by the way!














I picked up 5 Danessa Myricks DVDs & her book.
I haven't had a chance to start reading the book but I did watch all 5 DVDs.
I like one of them. I could seriously live without the others.


















































Now on to all the other stuff I picked up...


4 packs of these wipes in different scents for $1.99













These brushes from Crown Brush & Bdellium.
I wish I would have picked up more brushes from Bdellium. They are the bomb!

All the brushes I purchased were between $2-$8.


























8 packs of much needed disposables. They were all $2.











Lip & brow pencils in Espresso, Candy, Toast, Deep Red & Pale pink from the Auraline booth. I think they were like $1.














Also from the Auraline booth, I picked up these shadows. They had MAC & Urban Decay dupes. I only picked up six. They were $2.50 each.
Warm Brown Shimmer, Taupe Opalescent, Chocolate Matte, Vibrant Purple Shimmer, Deep Plum Shimmer & 24k Frost.
The color pay off is amazing & they blend very well.





Last item I purchased there was this Graftobian High Definition Color Palette in Super Warm for $60. I can't wait to use it.






And drum roll please.........................................


The last stop I made before heading home was to AJ Crimsons class. It was very fun, funny & informative.




























All of the other things I got to see & experience were recorded & I don't feel like editing now. Maybe in the next few days.......
Can't wait for IMATS!!!! I'm uber excited!!!

Smokin' Hott

I LOVE when my Mom offers to watch the kids & tells me to go have a break! These moments are few & far between. I'm a workaholic & most of my hours are spent making others fly & tending to my Motherly duties. So I curled my hair, slapped on Moets (<~my inner diva) face & broke out my young hottie attire.
I was going for the "classic" smokey eye due to me not having time to ever really put on shadow anymore. I wanted a little drama........So here's what I used.......

Foundation- Revlon ColorStay in Caramel (my fav :D)
Power- Maybelline Fit Me in 355 & MAC Prep + Prime to set concealer
Concealer- MAC Studio Finish in NW40
Highlight & Contour- MAC Trace Gold & Blunt
Brows- MAC Down Brown Fluid Line
Blush- MAC Devil
Eyes- 2face Shadow Insurance, MAC Beam, Texture, Espresso, Carbon, Black Tied, Urban Decay 24/7 in zero & Maybelline Falsies mascara.
Lips- Palladio lip gloss in Mocha, MAC Superglass in Disco Blend & Hodgepodge lip liner

To Have Hair......

Or not to have hair......
That IS the question!!!

Review Time!!!!

Hey guys!!! I promise I'll be updating more in the 20eleven!!! I've been busy & lazy at the same time! :)
Anywayzzzzz......

It is my civil duty to tell you about these products I've been using & how much I love OR Hate them!! Heeeerrrrreeee we go........



Maybelline Fit Me foundation & powder
$ 6.99 @ Target


I ran across a review in a local magazine & HAD to try this. I have it in 355 (the darkest shade they offer ).<~ O_o Now, I'm a 400 caramel in Revlon ColorStay with a MAC NC 45 Studio Fix powder, (if you're familiar with those brands), which is not very dark so I had an attitude! The foundation alone is a little too red but the power is very yellow so it balances out to "fit" me! It is has light to medium coverage and blends & sets like a dream! Very airbrush like! Would I buy it again??? Heck NO!! It didn't even last an hour!!! Oily skin people....RUN!! This is NOT the foundation for u. I was shining like a brand new penny every time I wore it. No bueno!!!


















Hard Candy Glow Doll Face & Glamazon Bronze $5.49 @ Walmart I freakin' LOVE this stuff! Its great! I use the Glamazon Bronze the most. It gives you a great highlight without the over power of shimmer. I'm wearing it in my family photo I just took. Doll Face is a must have for darker skin like a NW45 + but can also be wonderful for fair skin as well.
It gives u a very pearlized, doll face type highlight. It has pinks & pearl colors......very beautiful!!
I will repurchase as long as it is available.




Hard Candy Show Girls Loose Glitter & Glue
Both $5 @Walmart

Bottom Line.......it kinda sucks. Totally not for "professional" use but great for kid functions, DYI Halloween makeup or if u wanted a quick look for a few hours. It doesn't last very long & it definitely won't last through a sweat or on oily skin.


Lastly.....


Hard Candy Split Personality Duo Eye Color
$5.48 @ Walmart

Ummmmmm......don't waste your money. Glad I just wasted mine on just one.







Well.....that's all folks....until next time!
