OH FOR THE LOVE OF LIPGLOSS

 I have been using a brand of lip-gloss from Walgreens for at least 2.5 years. It’s called Jordana Squeeze~n’~ Shine. This gloss is a nice compliment to most lipsticks and also looks great worn alone. I was only getting them from Walgreens and then I recently discovered that I could purchase them online directly from the company at www.jordanacosmetics.com. At only $1.99 these are a great deal and steal!! My favorites are Honey Luau (a soft gold), Lollipop (iridescent soft pink), Peach Sand (a nice champagne color) and my new favorite is Sugar Lips (a nice pink shimmer that has just enough pink that is not over powering). You want to stock up on as many of these as you can for your makeup bags ladies. Enjoy

Ashley Stewarts New Frangrace LAVISH!

Over the weekend I went to Ashley Stewart in Southfield MI located on Southfield Road to purchase a birthday gift and while there I got a few items for myself. While in there I noticed the line was a little long , it was only one cashier and I was in a hurry to make it on time to my next engagement. Then a lady who heard me ask the cashier were there anymore cashiers to assit her turned around and said to me, "what's your name, I know you, well I know your voice" LOL. I told her Rashida and she ended up being a lady who wanted me to do her makeup a few years ago. She saw that I was in a rush to get going and she and the lady in front of her told me I could get in front of them. I thought the gesture was so kind, so I decided to stay. Side Note~ as I looked around the store I was quite impressed with the decor for the accessories. It was so girly and well a little lavish. They have a big table with the jewerly carefully displayed on beautiful stands and boxes etc and a very sheek mirror sits in the middle as the focal point. Ok..so Im in line and as I make my purchase the cashier tells me because I spent over $50.00 I get a small bottle of thier new fragrance Lavish. I was like ok..great thanks I thought. Well last night I finally opened my new fragrance and boy oh boy was I pleasantly surprised. It smells so exquisite and rich and expensive. This is a must have for the fall and winter season ladies. The smell is not too sweet and not to heavy.

Lipcolor Lipstick and Liptricks!!

I am slowly becoming a lover of lipstick. What I mean is that I always tend to do a gloss with color, but lately Ive been using lots of lipstick on my clients and they are going crazy over them. One  recent color that I have fallen head over heels for is Rebel by M.A.C. It's a rich purple/berry color that pops on most all skin tones from light to dark. You can use it with or without liner.  It looks amazing on. Try out some new lip color today.

Fall Weddings My Brides

Today I had to great pleasure of being the makeup artist for Mrs. Tonya Willams Brown as her makeup artist for her wedding day. Me and my assistant for today from The GlamRUs Staff Shannon Forrest arrived at Greater Mitchell C.O.G.I.C in Detroit, MI . The first room that we were to serve her in was not lit well enough with natural light so we were moved to a room with more windows where the natural light came through  and once in there we set up in record time to service Mrs Williams. Because Tonya and I had not had a trial (which was not really necessary) I asked her only one question about her look and that was would she be ok with a rich color lip and she declined and requested something more softer. Since this was to be an 11 am wedding, I decided for a soft look that would flow well with her beautiful cascading curls. I also choose a lash look that would be show stopping but would not stop the show! and to give her face a little dimension I would do some soft simple contouring. Nothing too over the top for this classy lady (although she is a diva.......)

 Let me just say that Tonya is not only a friend but she was my former supervisor for a few years. She has been a constant encouragement in my makeup career since I have known here and I am most appreciative of that.
The atmosphere was just right and just so awesome as I served her this morning. Now let me share that my pandora NEVER works in church buildings but today it played from the time I walked in until the time I walked out and I had it on the Anthony Evans station and all the most beautiful worship music played and I really just wanted to worship God but I couldnt stop because Tonya had to be ready (tee hee). She was totally in tune with the Lord this morning and the presence of The Holy Spirit was a sweet savor in the room. There were plenty of times that I wanted to put down my brushes and just worship but again,duty called. Tonya was easy to work with and her family was right there by her side happy for her. I was just happy to be there and be in the number as a servant. God bless you First Lady Williams CONGRATULATIONS!!MUAH!!
