New Makeup for my kit....and a few for myself.

Went to Naimie's Beauty Center in Valley Village with my boyfriend to buy some makeup for my kit. Also, bought some stuff for myself too. Haha. It was our first time there and didn't know that place was big. Makeup and hair stuff everywhere. Even some spa stuff. I purchased a pink duo-fiber brush, (forgot the name) few foundations from Makeup Forever, (Love it!) Neutral Set (translucent powder) and Banana Luxury Powder from Ben Nye, Model In a Bottle Setting Spray and a steel palette from Makeup Forever. I still need to purchase more foundations. Buying them soom from MAC.
I also ordered some brushes and two contour palettes online from Coastal Scents. I tried the palette in class while learning how to contour and highlight the face and a few brushes from Coastal Scents also and it's all great. I'm glad I purchased them. Received a "I Love Makeup" bumper sticker in the package too. Coastal Scents is affordable. Actually, some of the palettes are on sale. The contour palette was $11. Shipping takes about a week and it's fast. Check the stuff out from Coastal Scents and Naimie's.

Two Photo Shoots Last Week...

Since I've joined Model Mayhem (it's been about two weeks) it helps me join on some photo shoots to gain experience and get some great shots for my portfolio. It's a good way to expose your work also. I did two photo shoots last week. Thursday, March 21 in South Pasadena and Saturday, March 23 at the Long Beach Airport. I was really tired those few days. Had the photo shoots, work and school. I'm glad my boyfriend was part of Thursday's, but still felt bad that he was just staying there watching TV while I'm working. Saturday's, he had to work in the morning and I had to work also right after the shoot. It was worth it. I'm going to get some great shots soon. =)

I received the Miss Icon Pageant photos!

I would be more than happy to be part of a hair and makeup team and do this!

My first photo shoot pictures!

Just received the final shots of my first photo shoot! I love them! These are the best shots! Did both hair and makeup! =)

 

  I did not expect to get pictures taken. I didn't even dress up for it. It was early in the morning and I was only thinking about my models looking good.

  Me and my models! Thank you to Manda Aiello! Now I would like to do a photo shoot for myself. Check out her website.
