AMOUR is in the AIR

Wedding season has got into full swing this past few weeks & it just reminds me on the daily HOW much je t'aime my career!

Inspirational Visions

Hair - LOVE

Makeup - yes please

I think that if I was to carry on looking for inspiration I would veer to far from what my original vision was....which was well...this. Thank you Pat McGrath for the perfect look from 

Dolce & Gabbana's SS 2012

Add some varying lip colors and we have the beginnings of a SHOW!

See you at the luncheon ladies.

yoU the BOSS

Words to live by.

ps. if you've been reading this blog/diary/shpeal on whatever I feel up too. You might come to realize my hip hop references every now & again.  Following suit with....Rick Ross, who is clearly the Boss, as Nicki Minaj repetitiously states in "You The Boss". I would like to point out that the first words out of his mouth are "Rose a born stunner". THIS IS A SIGN PEOPLE....now Watch the beat go....

2. something inspired, as an idea.

3. a result of inspired activity.

4. a thing or person that inspires.

5. Theology .

   a. a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul.

   b. the divine quality of the writings or words of a person so influenced.

This all happened yesterday & I'm still elevated on this feeling. 

As mentioned in yesterdays post I went back to school aka class with James Vincent & it blew me away. This morning I was thinking to myself, "this man was a preacher", I grasped onto every word that he had said & every move that he made, I attended my version of church yesterday & hallelujah I'm ready! To be able to work with & learn from someone with such talent is truly a blessing in my eyes & I will cherish the opportunities I have!

  

I walked away with so many amazing tips & tricks from yesterdays class it's hard to sum it up. If there is one thing I could say though is stick to your basics & expand from there. Pay attention when approaching your skin or anyone's you may be working on. 

Simple is beautiful.

Hair....needs to be....DID!

         

 

This is my ode to SJP aka Sarah Jessica Parker. Well the first of many to come, I'm sure.

Hair, wardrobe & look in general, love love love! If you ask any of my friends, who do I most want to be told I resemble, no hesitation...SJP first response.

So this is a little idea album for my lovely & amazing hair dresser Michael Gibson. We have scheduled ourselves, finally (my fault)(love you), a lovely revamping session on Tuesday!!! If I could walk out looking as glam as my goddess above well gosh darn Michael, I'll call you GOD! I have faith in this...

Thoughts?!?!!

If your not painting Easter eggs this weekend, why not take to your nails...get creative! 

Tantalizing Tangerine

Tantalizing; excite the senses or desires of (someone)

Tangerine; A deep orange-red color.

Tantalizing Tangerine makes for the perfect hot color of the season. Everywhere I look from runways shows to Sephora & other makeup brands alike they are introducing tangerine as this Springs "red lip".

I have had one of my most favorite tangerine colors (as seen above) for a few years from Yves Saint Laurent, Rouge Volupte #15, Extreme Coral. The incredibly bold color & glossy texture of this lipstick makes it perfect for me. I have been able to also use this color for my clients of every skin tone which is an ideal for one's kit, to be a multipurpose.

Much as my red lip application, my tangerine follows suit. I use my Inglot Lipliner/Crayon #851 in a peach tone to start & carry on with my layering of the YSL #15.

Posts to come on my perfect long lasting lip application. 

Thoughts on this seasons tangerine lip?

Loving The Crew...

It was the first time that myself along with Niki Blasina from A Haute Mess & Katrina Beveridge Photoraphy put our creativity together & started the beginning of a great loving relationship!

Picture above, is one of many from our shoot from the past weekend. Could the colors be more beautiful?!?

Niki pulled together a stunning maxi dress from a local Vancouver designer Standing Armed along with some pieces from her own collection to create what is shown above. But dare I fail to mention Niki creating her own little touch, with the absolutely adorable and colorfully creative flower wreath. I think it was so well suited for our boho chic look!

With myself completing the hair & makeup look, I worked with my different tools, products & tactics to create what is seen above. Our model had such porcelain skin already, along with luscious lashes, thick long hair & some brows that I long for...lets just say she provided me with a great canvas to work with! Some items that were extremely appreciated for our day for me were my Isinis hair brush to tame the mane & create the volume, as well as my Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Powder..perfect for touching up those possibly oily/shiny zones around the nose/chin/forehead. 

Katrina well you tell me. I think she did an astounding job capturing the moments necessary to fulfill what we were all going for.

Our crew pulled together well & created what I think is the beginnings to something special.
