Disco Fever

This past saturday, I was asked to do a makeover party for a very cool birthday girl! The theme was disco and you gotta love a girl who loves to dance and sing at the top of her lungs. The girls were a fun crowd and I had a great time giving them party styles and fun makeup for their disco night! I knew they were gonna be a fun crowd when I asked them who their favorite singer was and in unison they all answered "Taylor Swift"! She has fabulous hair! Thanks Bethany for making me a part of your day, you are a fun girl!

Creation Part One!!

Ok, I couldn't be more excited about this!! I recently teamed up with my fabulous sister, who happens to be one of the most talented makeup artist I know. to do some very creative work!! It was a ton of fun and the lovely models were amazing for each part. The theme of the shoot was the 7 days of Creation!! We have completed the first 4 and stayed tuned for Part 2 in the near future. I can honestly say this was one of the funnest shoots I have ever worked on. Hope you like each girls best shot! And thank you ladies for being so cooperative and giving us a chance to have some fun with our work:) Oh and last but definitely not least a big "Thank You" to Carrie from Carrie Wildes Photography for a phenomenal job on the photos!!

Congratulations Kelly and Jeff!!

Just wanted to say a big Congrats to Kelly and Jeff on tying the knot yesterday! I was honored to do the bride's hair and makeup and the flower girl. They rented a beautiful 3 story condo on Treasure Island beach and were married on the back veranda over looking the ocean. I actually stayed to watch some of the ceremony and it was a very beautiful time. Thanks for having me out Kelly, the pleasure was all mine!

Hair tip for beach weddings: Because often times the beach can be somewhat windy, I often suggest to wear your hair pulled back. If you opt to leave your hair down, it is a good option to have the front pulled back and secured in some way as to not constantly be pushing hair from your face.

Trash the Dress Contest Winners: Trent and Julie

You may remember seeing a post for a Trash the Dress contest that I was involved with, with 4 other vendors. Well the winners were Julie and Trent and they were incredibly good sports. Especially Mrs. Julie who was brave enough to even get in the pond in her wedding dress...alligators and all. Ok, we had people looking out for gators, but she did get a spider crawling up her dress! Brave girl! Julie requested that we add a braid in the front to keep the hair out of her face and even if her hair got wet it would stay and look nice, and of course I was up for that:). Braids are actually very trendy and popular right now for all hairstyles from casual to classy! I had a blast and thank you to Julie and all the incredible vendors I had the opportunity of working alongside for being so creative, talented and fun! Oh yeah, 10 Connects News was even there to see what was going on:)

Long time no post!

So sorry to have been so long since my last post! Let's just say I'm not the best blogger in the world, but I'm gonna try to do better. Despite the lack of blogging I have been staying very busy these days. Olika and I had the privilege of doing Karen and her ladies makeup for her beautiful wedding in Clearwater. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we had so much fun with the girls. They all wanted fake lashes!!! You gotta love a crowd that loves dramatic looks:) Well, Congratulations Karen and I guess this is better late than never!:)
