Hi Bellas,

I'm finally back from IMATS LA (International Makeup Artist Trade Show).  Wow!  What an amazing experience.  Besides my massive makeup haul, the best part was really getting to know my fellow gurus and subbies, yay!  I'm also dealing with some personal issues right now which might prevent me from filming in the next week or so, so I'll be uploading some reviews I've planned for a while now.  I try to keep this blog on the professional side so if you want to stay up to date on everything going on with me, follow me on twitter.  On to the review!

Many of you may be super familiar with the super cute Asian Cosmetics Brand Eyeko.  It means love in Japanese, and I had the chance to recently test out some of their products.  I've seen their stuff around and always thought it was just adorable.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another celebrity inspired tutorial. I've run across a picture of the actress Mila Kunis a few times and have loved this one makeup look.
I just love the colors on her eyes and the sexy, sultry look.  Recently I had the opportunity to test out some products from Palladio, a brand I've seen at Sally Beauty.  I decided that it would be a perfect time to finally try out this look.

Hi Bellas,

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  I spent my weekend working on wedding gig for an Indian Bride.  It turned out amazing.  I can't wait to show you pictures.

Meanwhile, I'm back with another review.  Today I'll be featuring a brand you've most likely heard of - Aveda.  Personally, I knew this brand to be more into hair care products.  I pass by it in the mall all the time and do see that they offer makeovers, but have never stopped to try.

I received a package from them in the mail and was interested to see that they indeed do have their own line of cosmetics.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another tutorial featuring one of my favorite makeup lines, Graftobian Cosmetics.  I received one of their new eyeshadow palettes to try out and I was inspired to do a look.  I used the entire Graftobian line to do my look, to show you how the products complement each other so well.

I went for a very bronzey, coppery look that's perfect for a summer night out.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another tutorial.  This look was requested by a viewer.  I was asked to recreate the look that Hilary Duff wore in her January 2009 Maxim Magazine Shoot.  This look is very Bridget Bardot inspired, with neutral eyes, winged linger, and a pink lip.  I showed you how to create it using the very affordable 26 neutral palette.  I figured a lot of you all had this palette and you could recreate the look without spending an arm and a leg.

Hi Bellas,

I've finally gotten around from posting pictures from the wedding I attended last month in Houston.  We made it a girls trip at the same time and it was so much fun.  I also did the bride's makeup.  If you follow the blog, you'll remember my memorable bridal trial with her.  You can also check out the post here.  I'll show you pics of the fun girl's weekend...and also break down the makeup.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another giveaway and review.  We're all on the search of high quality yet affordable makeup brushes.  More and more brush companies have sprouted up over the years and it's hard to know which ones are worth the hassle.  As a beauty blogger, I try to do a thorough job of testing and reviewing products so that you all can some direction on your cosmetic purchases.

This time around, I worked with Sedona Lace again to show you one of their newest releases - their brush line.

Hi Bellas,

Today's post is part two to my article on Graftobian Foundations and Powders.  As I mentioned in the previous post, these professional grade cosmetics are super versatile and apply flawlessly.  I often get requests on showing how I apply foundation on clients so I decided that it would be appropriate to show you how in this video.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another review!  Today i'll be featuring the much talked about Sigma Makeup Premium Brush set. I've worked with Sigma Makeup in the past and am so excited to see how much their line continues to grow and flourish.  I've been eyeing this set for a while so when I had a chance to test it out, I was stoked.  I gave myself several weeks to try out the set before doing this post because I wanted a really thorough review.
