My new eye shadow obsessions!
So, I went on this amazing journey to Niece, France with my husband and I had more time than usual to just relax and shop for makeup. These days when I shop for my kit, I usually know exactly what I need to purchase and I am in a store for 5-10 min. Well, in France, it was more like 30 min per store and so I got to really just play around and test out some products that I have never worked with before.
I went to St Tropez where I also found super amazing skincare products and Perfumes!
My # 1 new love is YSL's Pure Chromatic eye's shadows.
They are so velvety and soft and glides on to the skin like silk! I have been using MAC eye shadow for years, but I love these much more!!!
I could use them to make a natural look or add water to the color to make it more intense!
I did a trial yesterday with a bride and used this for the first time on a client and she and I were in love with it! I also do the trial on her mother and she liked it as well.
*I used Mac paint pot in Painterly first, then Makeup Forever's Aqua Creme in #18 Mauve just on the base of lid. I used #3 Pure Chromatic.
My # 2 Love is Dior's single shadows in
#616 Golden Spotlight and #056 Argenic and #026 Chrome and #086 in Flashback
These shadows had a really unique texture to create that really sultry fashionista look and stayed on very well as well. I could picture using these shadows on Penelope Cruz for the cover of Vogue.
Last but not least....My # 3 love is Channel's Les Ombres in #14 mystic and #08 Vanites.
These shadows were also very velvety and glided on like silk. I really enjoyed the colors and how just a little goes a long way with these. I could make so many looks with these colors!

Best of bridal lips!
Welcome to our Blog!
415-735-6159
All about the lips!
I have so many brides ask me about what color and shade will work best for them on their wedding day. So, I have came up with my top 10 colors and products that are best for the bride on her wedding day!
First thing, I highly reccomend wearing a long wearing lipstick on your wedding day, rather than a regular, every day lipstick. You will be so busy all day and trust me...you really won't have time to be thinking every hour...oh, I need to put my lips back on!
When you look back at your wedding photos, you will really want to see yourself with a nice color on your lips, so this is why long wearing lipsticks and stains rock!
(Your new to be hubby will also like this, since he won't have to worry about getting this stuff on his lips) xoxox
Here are my top 10 favorites pics
Made out of clay, so really sets well. The color is great for any bride looking for a sweet lip color that is not too dark. I put on a gloss after to spice it up a bit, but I have literally sold this color to more than 200 brides. Best color for anyone!
I also love desert rose and bridal rose!

#1 Burlesque Pink, superwear by Ur name Cosmetics
- This color is amazing! It's a stain and goes on very smooth on the lips.Made out of clay, so really sets well. The color is great for any bride looking for a sweet lip color that is not too dark.

#2 For Keeps, Longwear by MAC
-Great color and boy, does this stuff stay on!! Love that the gloss stays on pretty well as well. This one needs to dry for atleast 1 min before applying any gloss. No need for lip liner!
#3 Lasting Lust, Longwear by MAC
If your looking for the perfect red, this is the one! If you choose to wear red on your wedding day, you 100% need a stain. This way, you do not have to worry about getting it off on your teeth, your hubys lips, on your dress....well, you get the point~!
