Sephora + NARS = ❤

Last month I was browsing the Sephora website, stocking up on Lancome HYPNÔSE when I ran across this amazing, limited edition NARS Sea of Love Set

The set contains mini sizes of 

NARS Multiple in Orgasm, NARS Blush in Super Orgasm, NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight, and a full size NARS Illuminator in Laguna.

These happen to be some of my favorite products for creating a beachy, bronzy, natural look.  It turns out I like the Multiple even better in this mini size because it's easier to apply.  These products are great for my personal makeup kit because they're small and easy to travel with.  It's a great and affordable way to introduce some classic NARS products into your professional kit as well!

Obsession

Another awards season has drawn to a close...  To wrap it all up, I made up Sky Ferreira for the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party

Here are some behind the scenes shots courtesy of Nikko La Mere

Then from the hotel room to the red carpet...

I wanted to keep Sky's look pretty and natural, yet glam enough for Oscar night.  She's not wearing any false lashes, just tons and tons of mascara.  I lightly lined her eyes with Chanel Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow in Illusoire, highlighted the apples of her cheeks with Chanel powder blush in Imprevu, and finished off the look with Chanel lipstick in Rouge Noir.

I'm Gonna Be A Supermodel

As you may know, I've been working on expanding this blog and taking it to a new platform that will include more user interaction. Well, to do it right takes time, and I want to do it right, so thanks for your patience!  There's so much I want to tell you in the meantime, so I've decided to keep updating during the transition!

Quite awhile ago a lovely makeup artist named Mae was assisting me and gave me some amazing lashes that a friend of hers had brought back from a trip to Asia. They were a brand called MODEL 21 and they were amazing!  I loved the shape, they were really full in the middle instead of the outer corners... Great for a dramatic look! I was OB-sessed.

I kept them tucked away in my kit and only used them for very special occasions like this photo shoot with Karmin

and this shoot with Mischa Barton...

 (just some behind the scenes instagrams)

Well, the sad day came that I ran out of the lashes, but little did I realize the entire time I was hoarding them away there was a website address right on the box! www.model21eyelashes.com

I've already placed 2 orders!

The lashes are very reasonably priced and come 10 pairs to a box. Right now they offer free shipping when you buy 3 boxes, if you buy 4 boxes, they throw in a free box of lashes (of their choosing).

Well, now you have your marching orders!  They're a small company, so let's try not to crash their website!

UPDATE:  The first order I placed with MODEL 21 arrived today!

Cute new packaging, same great lashes!

Turn Around Bright Eyes

As someone with very sensitive eyes, I am always on the hunt for the perfect eye makeup remover. Last week my search came to an end when I was gifted with Talika Oil Free Lash Conditioning Cleanser.

This innovative product not only removes stubborn eye makeup with ease, it actually conditions your lashes and is great for sensitive eyes like mine! Genius.

New obsession! Chanel Long Wearing Luminous Eyeshadow

Although it's a cream shadow, the formula and texture is like nothing I've ever seen before.  The colors are beautiful and, unlike other creams, the shadow stays put and does not crease! It can be used as shadow or liner, and it comes with the cutest little Chanel eyeliner brush.  I suggest you try it immediately!  My favorite shades are ILLUSIOIRE and EPATANT.

Got Her Toes Done Up With Her Fingernails Matchin'

New obsession! Get ready... Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips!

I never thought in a million years that these would actually work...  I dismissed it as just another gimmick.  Surprisingly, I started hearing really great things about them, and when I actually saw someone wearing them I thought they looked great!  So... when I was at the drugstore the other night, I decided to grab a few.

They weren't hard to apply, and  the file and oragewood stick you need are included in the package. Mine lasted 4 days... I'm sure they last even longer on people who don't use their hands as much as I do.  Anyway, I am totally stoked on these and of course I'm having fun mixing and matching different designs.

In celebration of a long overdue nail post, I bring to you one of my favorite new clients, Kid Sister, and one of the best videos ever made 'Pro Nails'. You're welcome. ;)
