Review: MAC Refined Zone Treatment & Matte Creme etc..

I purchased these two products about 3 months ago. The Refined Zone Treatment seems to be discontinued now. Anyway, I like them. They leave your skin feeling really smooth if worn alone and they seem to make my foundation look airbrushed. The Matte Creme doesn't last long enough for me but I have noticed that it has made some difference. The smooth feeling of the skin does last though.

I wouldn't actually buy them again but it was worth the initial purchase. They are a little pricey for the amount of product you get.







A BIG THANK YOU for all of your prayers and well wishes. I am back up and working. (Taking it slow) Although I am not 100% yet, I am well on my way. I was hard being put flat on my face unable to really help myself. Thanks Mommy for forcing me to fight and nursing me back to health!! You're the Worlds Greatest Mom!!!!!!!!

On to other news.........
My clients have talked me into starting a YouTube channel. I was reluctant to start one because there are a million and 12 makeup channels but, we'll see how it goes. Go subscribe to my channel (if you'd like)!! www.youtube.com/user/kymmycandy
I would appreciate any ideas also.

:( :(

I apologize for being M.I.A. on my makeup and photos. I contracted the h1n1 virus (the swine flu).
It's no joke ya'll!! If you could see what I look like right now:{ Ooohhh Weeeee!! I'm not kidding!

If you're sick, please stay in the house until you recover and don't go spreading germs around being selfish!! If you've been around someone that has been sick, consider yourself sick and stay in for a few days to make sure you don't spread what you could have possibly picked up! *in my stern Grandmother voice*

Anyhow, I'm improving a little each day and looking forward to getting back to work. A Big Welcome & Hello to all of my new followers!

I miss ya'll!
Holla at you soon.

I Have the Satin Pillow Cases!!

Not long ago, I made a post about the importance of satin or silk pillow cases. (For those of you who don't remember check the July 13th post)

The colors that are available are: Black, royal purple, light purple, yellow, white, cream, silver, mint green, dark green, regular green, chocolate brown & red. The cost for the pillow cases are $15.00.
They are really pretty!! She also does custom orders!! I'll post pix soon!

In the mean time, if you would like to treat yourself or a loved one to a pillow case, let me know.
If you are in the L.A. area I can hand deliver them to you, if not, I can have them sent to you.
Email me or leave your request below!
