Now you see me, Now you don't!

Hello my lovelies!

I was due for an update, and I figured I would fill you in on a product I discovered about 6 months ago. I know, I apologize for holding out on you for that long:) My bad!

People are always looking for amazing concealer. And I have dabbled in quite a few of them. Until I found THIS  Makeup Ally has some good reviews on this! And if you are like me, you are a review stalker!  :)

Glamoflauge by Hard Candy:

I can't rave enough about this. 1. It is SUPER affordable. I want to say I paid maybe $4-$5 dollars for it from Walmart, since I believe that Hard Candy is exclusively sold there. 2. It has amazing coverage for any flaws (under eye circles, tattoos, blemishes, etc 3. It is super creamy, blend-able, and light weight. 4. A little goes a LONG way. Seriously, a dot of this stuff will do the trick! The only thing I would suggest, is go a shade darker than you think you should, since it is very light once you start blending it in to your skin. I got Medium Light, and I should have just gone for the Medium or even maybe the next step from that even.

So a little about this, since you may be wondering why the pencil is included. That, my friends, is for covering up tattoos, or beauty marks, or and other imperfections. I will explain how you can cover a tattoo. So what you do is take the pencil, and outline and draw over the tattoo that you are covering. Next, apply a thin layer of Glamoflauge, and then set it with a pressed powder. You can repeat the steps as many times as you need to cover your tattoo, or blemish. I covered a tattoo and it took me about 3 times, since it was a black colored tribal tattoo. Not many drugstore bought concealers can do this! Especially cheap ones! So I was thrilled to have this in my kit. You could even use it for a contour cream if you needed to, since it is that dramatic of an effect. Pretty cool.

If you are in the market for a good concealer that has multiple uses too, then look no further! Glamoflauge is your answer!!

YAY!

Well til next time my pretties--

Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Well lookey here! *brushing dust off of my blog* It's alive!!

I am back! I have been wanting to get back on here for sooooooo long! But life sometimes get's in the way, and blah blah blah. I remembered how much fun I had with my blog! It was so fun speaking to my friends and family, and getting to share my love of makeup. I pinky promise that I will keep up with this, now that I have way more free time!

What has been going on? I am now a stayathomemommakeupartistjewelryseller :) It's been such a  wonderful year getting to focus on my family, makeup and meeting new people selling Origami Owl. It's been greaet for my soul! Plus I have been able to make tons of stuff from Pinterest!!

I am still going to keep this blog for products I love, makeup tips, and clothes, but I think I will also share blog posts from my photoshoots! Cause it's a cool part of my life, and will give you a little behind the scene glimpse into them.

Yesterday, I got to work with an AMAZING team! I have worked with photographer Brett Loie www.brettloie.com a couple times and she is one of the best photographers I have worked with! She seriously kicks booty with her talent! The model was Kelsey Knickbocker, who I worked with back when her modeling career was just starting about 2 years ago. She has come a long way since in her career, so it was really great seeing her in action now! She rocks, plus she is so sweet too! I got to meet Aarika Walton, the wardrobe stylist, and she was also really cool, and brought some neat pieces for the shoot. It was a great shoot, and the feel that Brett was going for was a very bold, edgy fashion look. Kelsey started off with a very natural look, and then we moved to the smokey eye, and a bold lip. She had wet hair for the shoot, which was a cool effect when Brett shot it in black and white. It was a great time. We all shared some laughs, and it's neat when all talents come together to create cool pictures. Here is a little sneak peek:

Well, that was fun! I am glad to be back, and I hope you all still want to hang around! WOOOT!

Kiss, Hug and Makeup,
