*Girl Next Door, Betty Bright(perfect for spring/summer), & Oh,Oh,Oh(ima little iffy on this one)

Veronica’s lip colors are much more vibrant and intense.

I’m only interested in 2 of the 3 lipsticks, which is Daddy’s Little Girl(middle) & Ronnie Red (on the right) the darker plum hued lipstick (Boyfriend Stealer) is a little too dark for my pale complexion.

One item I definitely have to get my hands on is Betty’s Cream Soda blush! Any peachy blush always catches my eye. & this one wasn’t any different. Valued at $22.

The pearl matte face powder in Flatter Me is my favorite out of the collection. It also has a peachy base, but has mini hearts that are in a coral shade. Retails for $29.

The collection is available online and will be available in stores next week on the 7th just days before Valentine’s Day! Hopefully my bf will help make this wish list come true. *fingers crossed*

We are winding down our commercial projects in product & food, save for a few special clients, and switching over to portraiture and boudoir full time.
I still have a special place in my heart for food and product photography, but my heart and soul has found it’s place within the “Global Glamorization” happening for all women throughout the world – the new genre of transformational beauty portraiture.  I’m smitten…

A Few Favorite Images from 2012

Looking through the photos I’ve made I spot a few favorites right off…
from Food to Beauty, that was the focus this year – with more than a few commercial product gigs in the mix for spice (and to ensure I’m still able to roadie all that gear!).

These six images are by no means all of my favorites, rather highlights that caught my eye right off – but if I post all my favs at once, what will I have to share next time?
Stay tuned for more lots more beauty photos to come, the year was rather full of beautiful sessions!

Sweet nail art

We’re all inspired by the world around us. Many of us may have seen the latest Mac ad. The lady’s nails looked AWESOME. So I tried it out myself…Pass or epic fail? hmmmm….. It’s good to soak up the inspiration, but at times you may fail. The winners are those who get back up and try, try again knowing that failure is part of the grooming process. What are you inspired by? Proverbs By Efua is a clothing label where the net profits go to support the fight against human trafficking. We aim to give hope and we exist to fabulously make a difference.

I couldn’t agree more with Coco, whether it’s lipstick, blusher, concealer or eyeshadow the colour has to be just right for you. People are always asking me about my favourite beauty picks and what I just simply cannot live without. It comes as no surprise that I love make up and my dressing table drawers are full of eyeshadows, lipglosses and blushers in almost every shade BUT if I had to choose just my top five make up must haves what would they be?

…No, I can’t do it, not five, but I can narrow it down to six ♥

Make Up Besties

My six make up must haves….

Love Dior Blackout

Dior Blackout – whenever I wear this I am always asked what mascara I am wearing, people don’t always believe that I’m not wearing false eyelashes. This is the ultimate mascara and my eyelash secret, one coat is all you need.

Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturising Balm – this actually makes your skin looking amazing! It’s perfect for everyday wear as it’s a sheer balm and feels light on the skin. Perfect for those ‘oh I don’t wear make up to the gym‘ moments…it works! Bobbi believes that ‘makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident.’ Make up is about enhancing your own features rather than trying to look like someone else and this is what the Bobbi Brown range does.

MAC Studio Fix – works great on top of Bobbi Brown’s tinted balm. This is a popular product for MAC, acting as a light foundation but it’s a compact powder…genius! It comes in every shade to suit any skin tone and it’s perfect for touching up when you’re out and about. Honestly though, I only touch up if I am going out as studio fix along with the tinted balm as a base lasts all day. The great benefit of going to a MAC store is that all the store staff are trained make up artists so they really know their stuff. They will advise you on your best shade, colour and show you application techniques.

Touche Éclat

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat – this is the ultimate make up rave! Now I’m not one to do ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots of myself so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Touche Éclat has been a bestseller for YSL for years now and in every make up artist’s case, recently though they added new shades to the range which means there is the perfect shade for everyone. The great thing about this product is that it really does blend into your skin tone leaving you with a radiant look. I have to admit, when I first tried Touche Éclat I wasn’t too impressed and it just lived in my make up bag for a couple of months. Then I kept noticing ladies using it everywhere, on the tube, friends at work, my bridal make up artist and basically ladies re-touching their make up everywhere even in New York, Barcelona and Dubai! I then gave it another chance, fell in ♥ and have not looked back since. This magical gold pen should not be underestimated!

MAC Lipstick – my shade in Brave, I love this nude shade with a hint of pink. For a night out Girl about Town is a bright fuschia shade which really makes a stand. MAC lipsticks stand out from the vast offering in lipcolour due to their huge range of shades but also the texture and long-lasting affect. The best bit is that if you recycle six of your empty MAC containers you get a free lipstick!

Benefit Dallas – it can take years to find the perfect blush for your cheeks, they can be too bright, too pink, too orange, doesn’t show up on your skin, too much sparkle and the list goes on. Benefit do have a great range of blushers which come compact in a small case with the perfect shaped brush. This fan shaped brush is perfect for blusher application, even if you are never quite sure how to apply blusher, it allows you to follow the natural contour of your cheekbones for a natural finish. This colour is great as it also has a bronzing effect so works amazingly well with olive and darker skin tones ♥

So there you have it, MAC with a bit of Bobbi Brown and Benefit finished and perfected with YSL and Dior ♥

Once again Nicki has teamed up with MAC cosmetics to collaborate on another lipstick. Her first lipstick shade was an electric shade of pink. She decided to switch it up this time by going with a shade of lavender.

In her ad, Nicki is laying in a pool surrounded by her new shade of lipstick as well as the first one. She is rocking a yellow retro swimming suit and a set of fierce heels as usual.

MAC revealed the new release with a tweet containing the hashtag #LavenderIsTheNewPink.

This limited edition lipstick will be available February 9, 2013 at MAC stores around the country and on MACCosmetics.com. All proceeds will go toward HIV/AIDS charities.
