So, it’s about time that I updated my blog with some info and reviews on my purchases from IMATS last month!!!
I was lucky enough to have The Man accompanying me on this trip. We got a better deal coming in on Saturday and leaving on Monday. So, I missed a bit of the fun [...]

Review: Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner
megan fox inspired makeup
I couldn’t find the exact picture I saw in a magazine, but this one is pretty close. It seems that Megan Fox has appeared here and there lately. She’s been sporting this eye catching bronze glow and well defined eyes (golds, bronzes, touches of orange and warmth). I thought I’d do my own interpretation.
Here’s [...]

photography considerations for wedding makeup
Some of you may have seen my tweet from last night about attending a MAC pro class on bridal makeup.
We went over some really interesting looks and thoughts. I’m THINKING about doing a series of bridal makeup related posts actually (the class gave me a lot of ideas.)
One thing I really took note of – [...]
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color
Last week, I indulged in the 25% off sale on Bobbi’s web site. I also indulged on the BBU palette (more on that later). I snagged Bobbi’s Creamy Lip Color in Blue Raspberry. I’m loving the Creamy Lip Color formula!! I already had one in Nude Pink, and it’s a definite barely there nude. Blue [...]
How to apply false lashes
Here’s an often requested video tutorial on how to apply false lashes. In this one, I’m using MAC #7 lashes. They are the strip kind. I’ll have to do individual lashes in another tutorial. Enjoy!
RioBlush City Girl Firming Leg Shimmer
I love a good makeup artist story (of course)! Kyra Panchenko began her career as an esthetician at the Peninsula Hotel and Spa. She moved up to become the Body/Skin Care Manager and at the same time freelanced as a makeup artist for various big name modeling agencies. Kyra’s talent and passion [...]
80s inspired pink purple and aqua blue eye makeup look
I had a Birthday party to go to recently, and I was inspired to try out some makeup that referenced the first eyeshadow colors I learned to put on in the late 1980s. I didn’t have time to make a video tutorial, but I still wanted to share the look and colors with you. [...]
brushes and techniques for shaping Asian eyes
I got a question from a reader about whether or not she could use MAC Brush 217. She is of Asian descent, has limited visible lid space, and a crease that’s a challenge to define. She was worried that the 217 brush might be too big for her smaller eye shape.
I did not have ready [...]
lusting after Bobbi Brown’s Limited Edition “BBU Palette”
I’m always looking for space saving solutions for my artist kit. Toting numerous bottles, pans, and containers to and from makeup gigs can quickly become a burden…enter the BBU Palette. While this wonderful item will put a dent in your pocket book at $250, it’s less expensive than buying foundation, concealer, etc. individually. [...]
