I’ve been purchasing makeup tools for my personal use lately, my kit is stocked so now it’s time to take care of me! Being that I’m getting older and spend about 80 percent of my life with my face in my phone, I thought a good magnifying mirror was the way to go.  My latest purchase was a Trifold Table Makeup Mirror  here’s why; it’s got 4 different magnifications 10x/3x/2x/1x, (so I can see EVERYTHING even without my glasses on, it folds up for easy travel, and rotates 180 degrees, and has 21 LED lights powered by a usb cord which is included or 4 AA batteries (for on the go makeup).  While I like the ability to see all my flaws in different magnifications, (lol) the one drawback for me were the LED lights which I didn’t feel put out enough to actually illuminate the face and I noticed that I kept turning the mirror towards the window for a natural light source. All in all , I like the mirror and think it’s a great value for the price, I just wish the ...

I am half convinced that everyone on social media has anxiety disorder.  Whether it's ADHD, OCD, Mania or a combination of all three, (no judgements here, myself included), we are a product of our environment.  We live in a society where if you don't sleep;  you are considered a warrior!  A quick peek on my Instagram, and you'll notice I am proud to display the quote, " 5 am The time when Legends are waking up or going to sleep".    We are, without a doubt, perpetually plugged in.  We have conversations with our significant other as we check our email.  We are  Snapchatting our way through meetings and Instagramming our dinner.  And it's not only generation Y, even the President (whether he's "yours" or not...) has a Twitter account!   It's amazing we can sleep a wink, with all this stimulation!  So, when it's time to relax, what's your secret weapon? Do you find your newe...

I recently had the opportunity to try out VL Pure Skincare. I didn't know much about them but had heard that they were eco-conscious, that their products were all natural, paraben free and most of all cruelty-free. (I would think by now, with all the intelligence we posses, all cosmetic companies would be cruelty-free, but unfortunately that's not the case.) Before I get up on my soapbox, let me tell you about these products! All Natural Rose Hip and Seaweed Facial Cleanser There's so much I love about this cleanser! First of all,  this is by far one of the most gentle cleansers I have ever used. However, don't let the fact that it's gentle make you think that your skin is not getting absolutely clean. I have used so many cleansers in the past that make your skin feel "squeaky" clean, but here's a little hint, save that for your pots and pans, if your skin feels "squeaky" clean, chances are you are stripping it of the essent...

   A sneak peek for what's coming up.....

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to do makeup and hair for the Oscar's. It was a long awaited dream of mine and I feel so blessed that it came true! So in true Oscar fashion, I would like to thank some of the people that helped me achieve this dream, or at least made their products available for me to use at the Oscars. You all know how much I love taking pictures of my layout! this one is one of my favorites! First and foremost, I would like to thank Diane at KohGenDo Cosmetics for generously supplying the makeup I used. Here are the products that I used to get those award winning looks: I started the day by making sure everyone was relaxed and their skin was hydrated by giving each of my clients 10 minutes of down time with a Macro Vintage Essence Mask. Then I primed their skin with PeterThomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Primer For those that needed a little extra help with sallow skin I used Maifanshi Makeup Color Base La...
