Atlanta Make Up For Ever Remix Tour

Make Up For Ever Remix Tour | Atlanta, GA

 

( dont mind this picture, I was being silly lol)

 

 WHAT A BLAST!!!!

 

 

Last weekend I was fortunate and excited to be part of the Make Up For Ever (Yes, it is four words) Team. They came to Atlanta to present the Make Up For Ever Remix Tour! People signed up via email/website for appointments and came to see us (makeup artist) to see how to use what they already have in their makeup kit and to ask questions.

 

 

 

This event was very beneficial to those who go through tons of foundations and can never pick the right shade OR for those who buy everything on the market and dont know what to do with it. I was great helping them and they also helped me..

A WIN/WIN situation.. #education

 

 

 

 

 

As Seasons Change, So Does My Hair.....

 

 

  

As it gets cold and the seasons change so does your hair....

The best thing to do is to keep your hair moisturized and conditioned.

During this time alot of people experience dry/brittle hair stands, breakage, dry/itchy scalp and the list goes on and on.

 

We all know by going to a salon and getting a deep condition or treatment will cost you $50 plus. Which I think is worth every penny, especially if you want to continue to have beautiful and healthy gorgeous hair.

However, in between salon visits you should ask your stylist what should you use, OR, I suggest an inexpensive line (that you can get at any beauty supply store) called Nexxus- Phyto Organic.

 

 

The Phyto Organics^® family of Nexxus hair products is formulated with quinoa protein, rare aromatherapeutic oils and exotic botanicals from around the world. Phyto Organics refreshes, restores and rejuvenates the hair.

 

After you shampoo/condition and before you sit under the dryer or blow dry your hair, always use something that will give your hair a nice shine, protect from heat, hydrates, and fight frizz. The best products for that is Healthy Sexy Hair- Soy Renewal and Design Lines - Silk Drops Serum.

 

 

Healthy Sexy Hair- Soy Renewal

 

A liquid nourishing styling treatment made with Moroccan Argan Oil known for its extra moisturizing properties. Adds instant shine and protection, controls frizz, boosts moisture, increases elasticity, helps smooth hair, protects against environmental damage. Also protects from environmental stresses and reduces drying time. (4.2 oz)

Use as a styling and finishing product to either blow dry or tame frizz or as thermal protection before flat ironing or curling

Use as a deep treatment when extra moisture is needed or as a preparation treatment for color or chemical treatments

Sunflower Oil: A lightweight oil that adds softness, smoothness and shine

How to use: Apply a small amount on damp or dry hair to add instant shine and protection, control frizz, boost moisture, increase elasticity and help smooth hair. Also speeds up drying time

 

 

 

Silk Drops Repair & Shine Serum

 

Tames frizz. Leaves hair smooth and silky. Conditions the hair.
How to Use: Work 2-3 drops through damp or dry hair for a sleek, smooth finish free of frizz.

Too Faced - Naked Eye Kit: Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection

I realized that alot of  my clients love to wear a flawless and fabulous look to wear every day or inquiring about a palette they could use during the day and for the night. 

GUEST WHAT?!?!! I FOUND IT

This gorgeous collection of naturally nude shadows will have you looking super neutral yet drop-dead-gorgeous for any occasion.

For the new year I decided to step out of the norm of being a MAC girl and venture out to other amazing product lines. So I came across this wonderful eyeshadow palette by "Too Faced" called "Naked Eye", which can be purchased at any Dillards department store and online http://www.dillards.com/product/Too-Faced-Naked-Eye-Kit_301_-1_301_502496871 .

I got this amazing eyeshadow palette because of not only of its amazing natural colors but because it was marked down to $9.00 (original price: $36.00). YOU CANT BE THAT.  12 pigmented shadows for that price is a steal!

  

Once I got home and opened the box, it had three step by step cards for application called the "How to cards". Which is very helpful for those who are unfamiliar with this particular brand and can use the cards as a guide.

For work, I decided to use "Day" (below). I did what the instructions told me to do and here are the results.

1-Base eye primer

2- Used "The Buff" eyeshadow all over- from lid to brow (MAC Fluff Brush #213)

3- Dabbed/Pressed "Pillow Talk" on my lid (MAC Eye Shader Brush #239)

4- Blended "Like a Virgin" in the crease (MAC Tapered Blending Brush #224)

Mascara:

HYPNOSE (Drama) by LANCOME

If you are unsure of how to wear certain eye shadows, I would strongly suggest a palette that has step by step instructions including pictures so you cant go wrong.

BUT REMEMBER: Before putting on eyeshadow you would need to but on a base eye primer.

Texture of Naked Eye: pure-pigment shadows of matte neutrals and soft shimmers 

Perfecting Ultra-Smoothing Primer

So I have found the best "Face Primer" EVER!!!!!!!

The Sephora brand, "Perfecting Ultra-Smoothing Primer"

It is a makeup primer that perfects skin's appearance and prolongs the wear of foundation.

In which a girl like me that works almost 8-10 hours a day needs this product in her kit. Especially to those who have oily skin.

What it does:
This primer evens out the complexion, hides imperfections, and helps makeup look good over a longer period of time. The first primer in the Sephora Collection infused with smoothing peptides, it goes beyond covering the skin and actually helps to smooth and perfect its texture.

This primer can be used on the eyes to smooth and enhance wear of eyeshadow. MOST IMPORTANTLY, It won't cause breakouts!

AND IT'S ONLY $16

BUT before you buy, you can always get samples from Sephora. So please ask one of the representatives at a Sephora near you to try. :)

This primer will last you a couple of months, TRUST ME! All you need is a tear drop of this to use everyday. It glides on smoothly with only one drop..
