I'm so sad about that. =(<br />So today I am going to post pictures were I did makeup for 2 sisters. Both of the girls look so much alike, they could pass for twins!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmpEHngyd-V073y158pVgKYVcQeazeFWd0CHlXqTLoSgdmGzFyyiQvvTY07p14cATTm1ypkLE3zcaQOHGcU8HpBKSWaa7L89Iqk_2dQ_AgRuZ0Va7TdAzhlnsPUYdQa9CLiwj7jGVmRBL/s1600/Veronika+A..jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmpEHngyd-V073y158pVgKYVcQeazeFWd0CHlXqTLoSgdmGzFyyiQvvTY07p14cATTm1ypkLE3zcaQOHGcU8HpBKSWaa7L89Iqk_2dQ_AgRuZ0Va7TdAzhlnsPUYdQa9CLiwj7jGVmRBL/s320/Veronika+A..jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488049847509310162" /></a><br /><br />Products used all MAC unless otherwise stated:<br />Embark for brows<br />Painterly Pain Pot as base<br />Vanilla as a highlight<br />Hepcat in the crease<br />Sketch in the outer corner and lower lash line <br />Girlie on the lid<br />Ardell false lashes in #105<br />MAC NC30 Studio Fix Fluid Foundation<br />Dainty Dollymix Blush<br />Makeup set with Fix Plus<br />Whirl Lip Pencil<br />Syrup Lipstick<br /><br />I really like how the mixture of Hepcat, Girlie, and Sketch came out together.

Today's post will be on Bridal Makeup. Here is a look that I created for a bride a while back. She wanted a very natural look and a pretty pink lip. We discussed the look she wanted and we went with browns and a slight shimmer to open up her eyes.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEPFIwIE50bFNQqiE5kNZuSKVxQDfjlF_M9Gd4A0mL-WeqWYfhqjDojyMaqz1_v0A_VrNAP-eTn7q1zhldEXoB4c-o49R_wABmFhdOSlorG9ArqhmaSM4YLIlefKIIkXF9dh3jrOZIeVj/s1600/LAURA+ONE.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 127px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEPFIwIE50bFNQqiE5kNZuSKVxQDfjlF_M9Gd4A0mL-WeqWYfhqjDojyMaqz1_v0A_VrNAP-eTn7q1zhldEXoB4c-o49R_wABmFhdOSlorG9ArqhmaSM4YLIlefKIIkXF9dh3jrOZIeVj/s320/LAURA+ONE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487353135297149090" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsVaanEbBAcTPoMu8UfWlMWOjjT0y5p8hcXAbmoTQKwGtJedD0k3_CoFJRLsNq-7psB0yJc5ht7cH90sIva_h8POM_3LE5Av-CrbHHZg9Nu0g96PZdgsl_5wpHV06ZkkXxovzaOHBWUtj7/s1600/BLOGGG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsVaanEbBAcTPoMu8UfWlMWOjjT0y5p8hcXAbmoTQKwGtJedD0k3_CoFJRLsNq-7psB0yJc5ht7cH90sIva_h8POM_3LE5Av-CrbHHZg9Nu0g96PZdgsl_5wpHV06ZkkXxovzaOHBWUtj7/s320/BLOGGG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487352795085373186" /></a><br /><br /><br />The products used all MAC unless otherwise stated:<br />Embark to fill in brows<br />Painterly Paint Pot to prime eye lids<br />Vanilla as a highlight and on the lid<br />Cork and Brun in the crease<br />Nylon inner corners<br />Teddy Eye Kohl<br />Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Black<br />Avon liquid foundation<br />Pink Swoon blush<br />Whirl lip pencil<br />Viva Glam Special edition lipglass<br /><br />It was an honor to do the Bride's makeup on her big day and she looked stunning.

With summer in session, my ends usually are split and bone dry and I usually wear my hair in a bun or curled to disguise my split ends. My last haircut was in April and I told my hair stylist that I really needed something to help my ends because they get so dry in the summer. She suggested using olive oil or a hair serum and apply it to my ends when my hair was went. I started using what I already had which is Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. I focus it on the ends of my hair and massage it and then proceed with spraying Tresemme's Heat Taming Spray. I did a posting about both products titled "Old Faithfuls" and they have done right by me since day 1 lol!<br /><br />Since I've been using the serum on my ends when wet, I definitely notice a difference with my ends. They don't look bad at all! If you really want to kick things up a notch, you can apply the serum in the morning and before bed at night. I like to alternate that method about every other day and I'm happy with the results. I hope you all find this helpful. Since summer is here and you want to protect your tresses, please don't forget to wear Sun Block as well!<br /><br />I did mention that Paul Mitchell is carried at JC Penny's salons but the salons I've been to here in Arizona do carry the line. Please call and check prior to making a trip to JC Penny's to pick up anything from Paul Mitchell. You can also check at Ulta which is where I picked up the serum from. I hope everyone is enjoying summer! <br /><br />Here is a video I did :)<br /><br /><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MYkOlNamMic&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MYkOlNamMic&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>Nicki G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15044125204632675737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325441598021485503.post-11989772259038765252010-06-09T18:08:00.000-07:002010-06-09T18:17:58.956-07:00Old Hollywood GlamourHi! Today will be a quick post will on an Old Hollywood Glamour inspired look. Don't you love the classic red lip? I do! Christina Aguliera and Gwen Stefani really know how to rock The Red Lips and they remind me of classic Hollywood stars a la Marilyn Monroe.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo3f1Pi2QHz5T7lKqMPzuA_NIuhxTT-nXEFWYG7tB5aII2KXbiRnbqCsJ_d6pccsIL_5JA8VGZSAI4impzWGqO6WLdMelY4f7WD1-KCERWbUvL1buY_pUNE3smgQW8Dq4dUcYIQO5_iXvI/s1600/MM.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo3f1Pi2QHz5T7lKqMPzuA_NIuhxTT-nXEFWYG7tB5aII2KXbiRnbqCsJ_d6pccsIL_5JA8VGZSAI4impzWGqO6WLdMelY4f7WD1-KCERWbUvL1buY_pUNE3smgQW8Dq4dUcYIQO5_iXvI/s320/MM.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480945855210883378" /></a><br /><br />Here's what I used (all MAC unless otherwise stated)<br />Painterly Paintpot <br />Vanilla eyeshadow as a highlight<br />Cork and Wedge eye shadows in the crease<br />Vanilla eyeshadow on the lid<br />Blacktrack fluidline<br />Ardell #109 false lashes<br />Pink Swoon blush<br />Brick lip pencil<br />Russian Red lipstick<br />Clear gloss<br /><br />I hope you enjoy this look!

If you scroll down to the previous blog entry, you will see that Sylvia is in the picture. She looks completely different, right? I love what makeup can do! You can completely transform someone into looking and feeling totally different! A different texture, color and placement of the makeup application can make you do a double take. A new approach can work wonders.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGpeGEwayaX4O8IPNM8YEXDgXtaphGZ0t2d6fpe5zN0mG9JgzGHLDICYpBdtkD-if_EDpxNa69bXKzGGElR-dxCFfWgwmvq15ORlJADf_QifIWFPzOU0EOWf3wGg3yFDxCPKAL8PzoLvRc/s1600/Sylvia+G..jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGpeGEwayaX4O8IPNM8YEXDgXtaphGZ0t2d6fpe5zN0mG9JgzGHLDICYpBdtkD-if_EDpxNa69bXKzGGElR-dxCFfWgwmvq15ORlJADf_QifIWFPzOU0EOWf3wGg3yFDxCPKAL8PzoLvRc/s320/Sylvia+G..jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478382421292591138" /></a><br /><br />Sylvia was going to a birthday party and allowed me to suprise her with whatever look I wanted. I decided on a subtle smokey eye with falsies and natural looking lips. This time, the application techniques I used were different compared to the first picture of Sylvia. I decided to use a different type of foundation, contoured her face, used different false lashes and kept her lips as natural as possible.<br /><br /><br />Here's what I used:<br />Embark eyeshadow for brows<br />Nylon on the lid<br />Copperplate and Carbon in the crease applied with a MAC #224 working passed her eyes<br />Vanilla as the highlight<br />Ardell lashes #105<br />Blacktrack Fluidline<br />A Marykay cream foundation in #400 buffed with a #109 and stippled with a #187<br />Blunt blush for a contour<br />Azalea blush<br />Bobbi Brown Peach concealer <br />Vaseline and Gingeroot lip pencil <br /><br />I think Sylvia looks different in the picture because I worked the eye shadows passed her eyes all the way to her outer crease and buffed and stippled her foundation leaving a different glow look to her skin. In the end, Sylvia was very happy with her look and had a great time at the party. The transformation of makeup is incredible and it's all about being creative and taking chances!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. For a few months, I had been saving up for things I wanted from MAC Pro and To The Beach Collection. After this hual, I don't think I will be hauling for a while lol. <br /><br />I also want to show an older picture of a client that I had worked on for a wedding. She wanted a very natural look with black eyeliner, falsies, natural lips and blush. I can't remember all the products I used on her but I did use Blacktrack fluidline by MAC, Rice Paper as a highlight, Azalea blush, and an NYX lipgloss. The camera barely picked up any blush but she looked gorgeous. I also helped her with her hair too. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2cy8U-mAdVDrrQRL1elevCrcd3-1br4hvCezwepOls5ETV6Z5FzX3ghbc3ntDR7I1cUIyWQdDrPsawEz9YMFC_6WHBcPjJakWk3s6Lau7NCTRwQH_RaTY8KPxtMP-Icz__v9geEPOVlo/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2cy8U-mAdVDrrQRL1elevCrcd3-1br4hvCezwepOls5ETV6Z5FzX3ghbc3ntDR7I1cUIyWQdDrPsawEz9YMFC_6WHBcPjJakWk3s6Lau7NCTRwQH_RaTY8KPxtMP-Icz__v9geEPOVlo/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477474649417538802" /></a><br /><br />Ok Dolls, last year I made two Youtube videos and then I stopped but now I'm back and I look forward to making more and I hope you all enjoy them!

I forget I had it but I have a short handle #150 brush that is all pink that I bought from a MAC class offered at Nordstrom back in 2004. It's still in perfect condition andI really do believe in investing in brushes. Red Brick eyeshadow looks like it could be Brown Scripts sister to me and I bought Genuine Orange Paintstick because it's great to use the tiniest amount on your ring finger and dab underneath your eyes for dark circles. <br />Here are the swatches:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0Te8J_puvtJ6gH7pVP4L4RudaRubAGw6UYoCdKGG9kNEuphZXAbZf6Dlga-kE4WQZk-jcYGkzfdD0CTI9eSoqoFoefqdM_M-qx22_-wEK3hvYRjUUBSlP5CfCL-9y6BX2kKz8GgYqFio/s1600/098.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0Te8J_puvtJ6gH7pVP4L4RudaRubAGw6UYoCdKGG9kNEuphZXAbZf6Dlga-kE4WQZk-jcYGkzfdD0CTI9eSoqoFoefqdM_M-qx22_-wEK3hvYRjUUBSlP5CfCL-9y6BX2kKz8GgYqFio/s320/098.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477471915535852082" /></a><br /><br />In this picture:<br />Peachstock Lipstick<br />Neon Orange Lipstick<br />Faux Lipstick<br />Pink Poodle Lipglass<br />Love Child Lipglass<br />I was inpspired to get Neon Orange because of Lady Gaga. Her makeup is definitely cutting edge and I want to challenge myself with a lippie that I normally would not wear. I love her makeup! I bought Faux again because it's great to mix with other lippies or even on it's own. For me, it's what I call a "Mix Master" lol. I feel like I have a special bond with Pink Poodle Lipglass becuase I wore it all the time when I was a Senior in High School and I even wore it to my Senior Prom. Go Class of 2004! Buying Pink Poodle definitely brings back memories.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ZmZCPkGVTgnmgHNRQw884bvi5oyfl6Vqp1MNGrA3fT6r8fMKgtOw1ebBiIlxSLRlIrof4ulh2W81oC7cJL2_yYK5YATymF97NB85Y7Jb8p50geqTDQQRxG31ziiZOacX5ag_-ajeGsjB/s1600/094.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ZmZCPkGVTgnmgHNRQw884bvi5oyfl6Vqp1MNGrA3fT6r8fMKgtOw1ebBiIlxSLRlIrof4ulh2W81oC7cJL2_yYK5YATymF97NB85Y7Jb8p50geqTDQQRxG31ziiZOacX5ag_-ajeGsjB/s320/094.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477472712307422786" /></a><br /><br />Here are the swatches:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipzynPrCi6YMIO5QhOsnZ6AQOZEMUci8ylXjHFKEQOfGbCOER8lzuYMN9m99D27RZOMzp1XZoMS-E7jgzrUkcy6A90qNg5tq7qPgePQWsg6MXqtPnDg8CWAqH8reuA06I024paDzdz0cYi/s1600/095.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipzynPrCi6YMIO5QhOsnZ6AQOZEMUci8ylXjHFKEQOfGbCOER8lzuYMN9m99D27RZOMzp1XZoMS-E7jgzrUkcy6A90qNg5tq7qPgePQWsg6MXqtPnDg8CWAqH8reuA06I024paDzdz0cYi/s320/095.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477473413736020802" /></a><br /><br />I forgot to take a picture of the products but I did swatch them.

I recently moved and I'm still in the process of unpacking and trying to settle into my new home. Once things are more situated at home and I have the Internet, I will continue to do postings. I've been coming to my Nana's (Grandma) house to use the Internet lol. <br /><br />Since the move, I've realized I have collected quite a few makeup books and magazine clippings for inspiration and I've gathered ideas for makeup looks that I plan to share with you all. The more my passion for makeup has increased, I've found inspiration anywhere. As crazy as this may sound, I founded inspiration from the street, literally the street lol. I noticed there was a pretty grey, navy blue, a hint of purple and black were the colors I seen. Doable, right? I think so! <br /><br />I'm also inspired by RuPaul's new book Workin' It! His makeup is flawless and beautiful. I love, love, love how RuPaul's face is perfectly contoured it's gorgeous. Last but certainly not least, I've been inspired by my Alice in Wonderland poster. It's the poster where Johnny Depp has his hat and all you see are bright and beautiful colors. In case anyone is wondering where I got the poster from, I purchased it from Walmart for only $5! So with the craziness of moving, unpacking, shopping for necessities, I've found inspiration in places I never thought I would. I cannot wait to start blogging more. Take care, Dolls! Thank you for sticking with me. :)Nicki G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15044125204632675737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325441598021485503.post-19304433221971913582010-03-30T19:46:00.000-07:002010-05-08T18:24:20.244-07:00HAULHi Lovelies!<br />Today's post will be on MAC Give Me Liberty of London haul.

How exciting, right? It seems like purples and pinks are all the rage this prom season. I did makeup for 3 lovely clients and they were very pleased with the results. <br /><br />My first client is Vanessa. As you can see in the picture below, Vanessa had her hair pinned back with beautiful curls and classic chandelier earrings. She was going for an Old Hollywood look but with a twist of purple. How clever! Vanessa printed out a photo of eyeshadow that was a purple smokey eye and chose. On to the pictures of the girls for their big night!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QUc_dn3njjG7FgBaXoGJBSdeZyQYsw6EuSVGMBrk6wSoMeiPjKLG1RYRaZN3fIAzHHYGrPT3y0v8xP3163csOT4cLJZRTefBG6xAcaJLdlOBQym3mKVCPkoeZl-wfqxZPXp38wTEzwFa/s1600/147.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QUc_dn3njjG7FgBaXoGJBSdeZyQYsw6EuSVGMBrk6wSoMeiPjKLG1RYRaZN3fIAzHHYGrPT3y0v8xP3163csOT4cLJZRTefBG6xAcaJLdlOBQym3mKVCPkoeZl-wfqxZPXp38wTEzwFa/s320/147.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454254351017292802" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3W_o-jnzsDkW7TYXQjqxQ8lf9qxjbCuFea9KKyLYFxz2h23t55aK2axxjz8R55T3CL4LPjxlE3jdF9Gv7r1huq36KKYSpk2fCr0E_Kf_o4NNv-Ly0-Uadd3Vt2lhirSNdX9JXa7rZlAGo/s1600/148.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3W_o-jnzsDkW7TYXQjqxQ8lf9qxjbCuFea9KKyLYFxz2h23t55aK2axxjz8R55T3CL4LPjxlE3jdF9Gv7r1huq36KKYSpk2fCr0E_Kf_o4NNv-Ly0-Uadd3Vt2lhirSNdX9JXa7rZlAGo/s320/148.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454257017410607186" /></a><br /><br />Products used:<br />Face<br />Cetaphil Moisturizer (Equate Brand)<br />MAC Prep and Prime Skin Base Visage<br />Eve Pearl Magic Salmon Concealer underneath eyes(Medium)<br />Bobbi Brown Concealer in Peach<br />Graftobian High Definition Warm Color Palette<br />MAC Bronzer in Bronze<br />MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Dark<br />MAC Blush Ombre in Azalea Blossom (Love this blush)<br />MAC Prep and Prime finishing powder<br /><br />Eyes<br />Embark eyeshadow (Brows)<br />Painterly Paint Pot<br />Ricepaper <br />Violet and Push The Edge Pigment<br />Carbon<br />CoverGirl Lash-Blast Mascare<br />E.L.F.

Hair products may vary for everyone from season to season but I for one stick with my "Old Faithfuls" all year round. I have my moments when I want different hair styles whether it's choppy layers all over, longer hair with bangs or right now I'm totally into long hair with longer layers. I love it because my hair is not as high maintenance to style and it not so time consuming. Besides, I would rather spend my time doing my makeup rather than my hair. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmcJ9HnXE17ShQGVqnHLBtzqT5q1K6hhAuz4N19Sp4vuWWVwm-UOm9FlzphAPX33o48gUZnoRpnw3QsfExOtWBF6_r0zKAW4AIHWmf2PcN-f-KhudLPfOrzhIfFeAb677ASTnOHK47f5c/s1600-h/hair+don%27t+care.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmcJ9HnXE17ShQGVqnHLBtzqT5q1K6hhAuz4N19Sp4vuWWVwm-UOm9FlzphAPX33o48gUZnoRpnw3QsfExOtWBF6_r0zKAW4AIHWmf2PcN-f-KhudLPfOrzhIfFeAb677ASTnOHK47f5c/s200/hair+don%27t+care.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451665465240217186" /></a><br /><br /><br />No matter what type of hair style phase I'm in, I always stick with these products. <br />Starting from left to right:<br /><br />Redken Workforce 09 Hairspray is fabulous. I would say it is more of a mist rather than spray. It smells great and makes it easy to comb my fingers through my hair whenever I need to and it's lasts a long time. <br /><br />Redken Guts 10 is basically a root booster. I usually spray a liberal amount at the crown of my head when my hair is damp and use my fingers to really work it in my hair otherwise once my hair dries it will stay crunchy, hehe. Once I work it in, I blow dry my hair with a large round brush and I've got tons of volume and full, voluminous hair.<br /><br />Tresemme Heat Tamer is basically a hair life saver. I could not be without this product! When my hair is wet, I comb it out and spray a generous amount all through the bottom half of my hair. I spray a few times near the top of my head but the heat from the blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron and hair wand is mainly focused on the bottom half of my hair. Ive been using this for about 3 years now and I have noticed a huge difference at the ends of my hair. I don't get split ends nearly as quick as I used to. A huge plus is that the spray is vitamin enriched which is great because it's healthy for your hair.<br /><br />Next is my Ojon dry shampoo spray. I know this may sound nasty but I don't like to wash my hair everyday because I feel it's not good for my hair. I use this for second day hair. Once I'm ready to style my hair I will spray this a the top of my hair, wait a few minutes until it turns white and then rub it out with my fingers. I like this because it takes out the oil in my hair and it makes my hair look clean and smell powdery fresh.<br /><br />TIGI Bed Head After Party is definitely a classic. I've been using this since I was about 18 and I use it to make the bottom half of my hair shiny and feel smooth. The texture is amazing and a little bit of After Party goes a long way. If you ever use it, be sure not to get too much out other wise it you put it in your hair, it will make your hair appear super oily. <br /><br />I got my pink teasing hair comb as a little prezzie from my sister. I like it because it has two rows to tease your hair with and it really grabs your hair and who wouldn't love a pink comb, right? <br /><br />Finally, I have my pomade that I use to give my hair some control and texture. This pomade is unlike any other I have tried and it's extremely thick. It has a lemon-y smell and does a great job with styling my hair. I love this pomade!<br /><br />I hope you all learned something new about my hair styling products. The Redken, Tresemme, and Bed Head products can be bought at Ulta. I think the pink teasing comb is from Sally's and I got my pomade from my hair salon. What are some of your favorite hair products? Let me know. Take care!<br /><br />- NickiNicki G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15044125204632675737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325441598021485503.post-15660557643671799752010-03-09T17:47:00.000-08:002010-03-09T19:24:59.779-08:00San DiegoHi Dolls! This post isn't exactly beauty related but I thought I'd share some pictures of my trip to San Diego. Last week I went to beautiful San Diego, California with my family and I loved every minute of it. While there, we went to Mission Beach, Sea World and of course did some shopping at a few places including Fashion Valley Mall. There is no place like San Diego, it is so green and I love how everything is up-hill. SD is very different from Phoenix but there's no place like home!<br /><br />I also wanted to do a comparison on two brushes that I had mentioned in a previous post. One is the MAC 239 and the other is a Loew Cornell 3/8. In the pictures below, you will see the MAC brush is black and the Loew Cornell brush is purple. These brushes are great for brow bone highlighting and applying color to the lid. The MAC 239 is around $25 and the Loew Cornell 3/8 is around $5. I bought the Loew Cornell at Michael's which is an awesome arts and crafts store and both brushes work great! I would recommend either one. However, if you are looking for a great quality eye shadow brush that is inexpensive, buy the Loew Cornell 3/8. The cool thing about Michael's is that the send out coupons in the Sunday paper here in Arizona so you can buy your brush at an even lower price. Pretty sweet, right?!? <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56m5_a2cqAnaHngkiLuO6Jjpo4y8BGC4UkoysmTM0rFa3KnEwQPnfPTGGqL06YZ96HNLTmpiQ29JT5my2oNTztcwvqVx34IpiYrlUHQUL41cWqwb0BXMSAGvFWot5VDXb997VzkTF32eW/s1600-h/036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56m5_a2cqAnaHngkiLuO6Jjpo4y8BGC4UkoysmTM0rFa3KnEwQPnfPTGGqL06YZ96HNLTmpiQ29JT5my2oNTztcwvqVx34IpiYrlUHQUL41cWqwb0BXMSAGvFWot5VDXb997VzkTF32eW/s320/036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446838547389917330" /></a><br /><br />Here is a picture from an "All Decades" party that my boyfriend and I went to a couple of weeks ago. We decided that we didn't want to match and dress in different decades. He went as a Thunder Bird, better known as a "T-Bird". Check out his wig LOL! It's hilarious we were all laughing all night. He kept having to fix it and brush it because it kept messing up. I went dress in 80s. Although you can't tell what eye shadow colors I was wearing due to my glasses, I had on eye makeup.<br /><br />Eyes<br />-Rice Paper as my highlight<br />-Swiss Chocolate in my crease<br />-Nylon on my lid<br /><br />Face<br />-Studio Fix Fluid in NC 30<br />-Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre<br /><br />Lips<br />-Carmex to prep<br />-Brick lip pencil<br />-Cockney lipstick<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirX_OUulZK3URsLOpiVuWlox3bORqmQ3d4z1Sf1uGBSeUMjx5v7FvjhbxkkVVq1Eb-q5YlTVsogkR9GF1B9zA2aXspeYx9TzRTx9xKYprAt83siP91qjkLrahbLnaEbTCacaDJgTql9qvf/s1600-h/104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirX_OUulZK3URsLOpiVuWlox3bORqmQ3d4z1Sf1uGBSeUMjx5v7FvjhbxkkVVq1Eb-q5YlTVsogkR9GF1B9zA2aXspeYx9TzRTx9xKYprAt83siP91qjkLrahbLnaEbTCacaDJgTql9qvf/s320/104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446823257106231458" /></a><br /><br />I had to write my name in the sand lol.

I've been M.I.A. for almost a month now but I've been so busy lately. Things keep coming up but I do plan on blogging more often. I'm like 3 weeks late on this but I did attend an event for The Spring Colour Forecast collection. This collection is amazing! There's basically 4 collections combined into one and the colors are so bright and fun. It was so refreshing to see bright lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, and pigments again! Spring is in the air, well at least in Arizona lol. <br /><br />I have not have time to test everything out but so far I love the blushes. They're huge and should last a long time, which is always nice, right? I'm a blush girl for sure and I love to pack it on. Not too much though lol! I do plan on trying out everything and creating looks. Goodness, I love makeup. I hope my Dolls are doing fab!<br /><br />Here's what I bought:<br />Blushes<br />Azalea Blossom (not pictured, sorry I forgot to take it out)<br />Ripe Peach<br />Vintage Grape<br />Springshine<br /><br />Eyeshadows<br />Very Violet<br />Lala<br />Hot, Hot, Hot<br /><br />Lippies<br />Bronzilla<br />Vegas Volt<br />Colour Me Coral<br /><br />Stacked 1 pigment<br /><br />*I bought everything on my own. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDyeGWoNtSZlBOYc1vD0vcb0MI-ctPZswH2zc2P6ND1MjDplmEYvmq7gQK7ts9wV2TvTpsz_0NPbYiK3VqDyQc6X8iE5X-Xi56tqOk9Zn4DoM1WObN2B75Un2lOQydCh2WPbEPXQ5Tucr3/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Today's post will be for a look that I did a few days ago. My boyfriend and I went on a dinner date and I wanted to wear my Love Lace eyeshadow. I really like this color because it's different, something that I do not have and I rarely wear blue eyeshadow. I need to start wearing blue eye shadows for sure! I think it's all about finding the right color of blue. <br /><br />Love Lace is a Veluxe Pearl finish and I really packed it on my lid with my 239. Another great brush that is comparable to a 239 brush is a Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop in 3/8. I bought mine at Michael's which is an arts and craft store in case no one knows what Michael's is. The 3/8 Loew Cornell brush is inexpensive and I highly recommend it! I will take a picture of both brushes for my next post. On to the makeup! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XXFy96WCrNYuk7dWmfMl6cylV8-dQpAkr8gRhyVXomR6AUflenmKeDabDpbiES0XXWzdesuxBYx3CsAlr-25VFTrCgRbzd7SoiYa7ZmdpeqkVn-uQj86PEX-6ZwvsKd1wKNbdEOU2-ql/s1600-h/nic+eyes+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XXFy96WCrNYuk7dWmfMl6cylV8-dQpAkr8gRhyVXomR6AUflenmKeDabDpbiES0XXWzdesuxBYx3CsAlr-25VFTrCgRbzd7SoiYa7ZmdpeqkVn-uQj86PEX-6ZwvsKd1wKNbdEOU2-ql/s320/nic+eyes+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430391671040086594" /></a><br /><br />Products used (All MAC unless other wised stated)<br />Eyes<br />- Anastasia Brow Pen in Universal Deep Shade<br />- Painterly Paint Pot<br />- Ricepaper as highlight<br />- Softbrown and Texture in the crease<br />- Love Lace on lid <br />- Graphology and Blacktied in outer corner<br /><br />Face<br />- Studio Fix Fluid NC 30<br />- Prep and Prime Powder<br />- Bronzer in Bronze<br />- Dame Blush<br /><br />Lips<br />- Beurre liner<br />- Myself lipstick<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOa-j4m9I0WFbeYD4nMsYDilfihlBAc5S13oFz3ZsvqcoadAI_ksc6Js5AYnl2deuaeOkHatlt7RoSwlLeYhXXvmZJgJY7UPVmgSQeEguAncsvAIVrdI5rmMI8BeFNy0x5GSJxZFnD_pAm/s1600-h/jerky.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 123px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOa-j4m9I0WFbeYD4nMsYDilfihlBAc5S13oFz3ZsvqcoadAI_ksc6Js5AYnl2deuaeOkHatlt7RoSwlLeYhXXvmZJgJY7UPVmgSQeEguAncsvAIVrdI5rmMI8BeFNy0x5GSJxZFnD_pAm/s320/jerky.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430397220232276290" /></a><br /><br />I hope you all enjoyed this look!

I'm posting a look that I did yesterday. When I started applying my foundation I was trying to think of an eye combo to wear. I first thought about Earth tone colors since I was wearing an orange shirt with a matching scarf but then once I opened up the first palette I seen, it had some purples in there. I decided to ween it and went with wearing all purples. <br /><br />Purples are so vibrant and I think you can wear purple shadows with any colored top you have on. Purple shadows are fabulous! Speaking of vibrant, I just got Vibrant Grape from MAC today and I cannot wait to wear it. To me, it looks like it can be Stars n' Rockets sister, hehe! Both of the colors are a purplely-pink and are so awesome! <br /><br />Now for the pictures, it may look like my right eyelashes are curled and my left eyelashes look straight. I promised I curled both of my lashes but for some reason it looks like only my right lashes are curled lol. Please excuse my hair. It was humid yesterday and my hair is a bit frizzy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj-QCRJdodbuTzbdGNO9jwuOUBnkaIicKOEn6vNnruONzJ8PGiLAr_B0A6ghjIZH18MG2ZiYLYCkgM6w-NW1AynDwn-inHVfm03W9GXriFsJLW5-dopSsNw2ay9GD-SQSF3S3HLYij-CKB/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj-QCRJdodbuTzbdGNO9jwuOUBnkaIicKOEn6vNnruONzJ8PGiLAr_B0A6ghjIZH18MG2ZiYLYCkgM6w-NW1AynDwn-inHVfm03W9GXriFsJLW5-dopSsNw2ay9GD-SQSF3S3HLYij-CKB/s320/017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428284336368123218" /></a><br /><br />Products used (All MAC unless otherwise stated)<br />- Studio Fix Fluid in NC30<br />- Prep and Prime Powder<br />- All's Good Beauty Powder Blush<br />- MSF Perfect Topping<br />- Painterly Paint Pot<br />- Ricepaper as highlight<br />- Shale and Beautiful Iris mixed together on lid<br />- Beautiful Iris inner lid<br />- Blackberry crease <br />- Sketch outer corner<br />- Blacktrack Fluidline <br />- Cover Girl Lashblast in Blackest Black<br />- Strawberry Chapstick<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimKLEN94bZ5p-HixTc4Oxilr5JHF1t5XbGBvxuRPCOd0wPo-o_IqbsC9r81j0A8u7H0L9JfQ0ABHZNGstMVy-TZb3OIKTlaoJboJwvqW65GHrpD4S-vMI2SNRy9-CxOmZTQoWNsFq32zUT/s1600-h/nickig.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 163px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimKLEN94bZ5p-HixTc4Oxilr5JHF1t5XbGBvxuRPCOd0wPo-o_IqbsC9r81j0A8u7H0L9JfQ0ABHZNGstMVy-TZb3OIKTlaoJboJwvqW65GHrpD4S-vMI2SNRy9-CxOmZTQoWNsFq32zUT/s320/nickig.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428284633781904066" /></a><br /><br />- Here is a shot of my eyes!

<br />I know I'm a little late with this haul but its better late than never, right? Hehe. I picked up items from All Ages, All Races, All Sexes and Lillyland collections. Lately, I've been into neutral colors and strong contoured cheekbones which totally reminds me of makeup from the 90s and that's why I'm so excited about All Ages, All Races, All Sexes. Makeup from the 90s makes me think of Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford being on the covers of high fashion magazines with strong cheek bones, strong brows and soft neutral eyes. The colors are so pretty. Don't get me wrong, I love bright colors too but there's just something about neutrals. Today I did an eye combo with Cross-Cultural and Showstopper which are two of the shadows I bought from the collection and got a few compliments while I was out shopping. I almost want to buy back ups for my kit.
<br />
<br />From the Lillyland collection, I bought a creme blush and a powder. I'm in love! I wore the cream blush today and it lasted all day long. The powder gave me a nice glow with a touch of shimmer. Below is a picture of the haul!

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nicole but everyone calls me Nicki and I'm a 24 year old freelance Makeup Artist living in Phoenix, AZ. I was inspired to create a blog by other beauty bloggers out there and I wanted to join in on the beauty-blogging fun. I look forward to sharing what I've learned about makeup and hopefully making new makeup friends! If you have any questions, or wanna see what I'm up to you can email me or follow me on Twitter! 2010 is going to be a great year and I can't wait to see what awesome things it brings.
<br />
<br />Now, on to the blog post. For about 2 months, I had thee worst hands ever! My hands were dry, cracking and I even had tiny cuts on them. Ouch! It was so bad, I was embarrassed to even show my hands. I couldn't figure out why my hands were so bad. Maybe I was washing them too much. I don't know. I tried different lotions, putting Vaseline and gloves on my hands but nothing seemed to work...Until I heard about a moisturizing cream called CeraVe. Gurl, this cream works so good. My hands feel so soft and moisturized. I've got spirit fingers now! LOL. A little goes a long way and I don't see myself using any other hand creams or lotions. Within a couple of days I noticed a huge difference so I'm sticking with this. I love it! Stay tuned for more postings!
