Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another review.  These products have been on my list for a really long time.  Today I'll be featuring the Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Sprays.  I have seen lots of reviews on them and I really wanted to purchase them at IMATS Pasadena last year but never got around to it.  Finishing Sprays are one of those extra special products that really steps up your makeup game.  What's the point of spending so long on a look if it doesn't last?  That's what these sprays are meant for.


Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another post!  I wanted to share with you an amazing experience of 2010.  I had the opportunity to do two amazing things...work with Celebrity Makeup Artist AJ Crimson and help prepare guests for the 2010 Soul Train Awards in Atlanta.  I feel truly blessed to have been a part of the experience and I want to show you all my journey and what I learned that day.

Hi Bellas,

I get this question a lot from viewers - what makeup do I need to get started?  This is geared more towards those that are starting out...maybe a little new to makeup or those who just want to make sure they have all their bases covered.  I decided to share with you some of my recommendations that I've sent to some of my readers.  The post ended up being so long that I decided to break it up.  Today I'll start with Face Products - everything you need in your personal collection.  On Monday and Tuesday i'll follow with Eyes, Lips, and Tools.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another Bridal Trial makeover.  I had the chance to work off another former bride referral - the best form of advertising.  My bride came to me with several pictures of makeup she liked, and interestingly enough we didn't really choose any of them.  As a bride, it's important to use pictures as inspiration, but to pick a look that suits your own features and personality best.

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another look!  I actually wore this for a bridal trial.  It's a great everyday look that has just enough definition to make you look fresh and polished.  I used NYX's Champagne and Caviar Palette which I picked up during a sale at Ulta.  I think I got it for 40% off, putting it at around $5, not bad at all!  In case you haven't noticed I'm really into neutrals lately.  This palette contains colors awesome for getting an everyday look or smokey night time look.  Check out what I think of the palette and the look I created!

Hi Bellas,

I've recently noticed some buzz around the internet on creating Vision Boards.  In particular, fellow blogger and YouTuber Scandalous Beauty aka Erin really got me pumped about it. These are boards with pictures and words that symbolize our goals.  It's the perfect time to do it...with the beginning of the year already started and we're all making New Years Resolutions.  I truly believe in dreaming big and working towards your goals.  With this project, you can materialize your dreams onto paper and have a daily reminder of what you what to achieve.  I wanted to share you my vision board and show you how to do your own!

Hi Bellas,

Happy New Year! This is my first post of 2011, yay! I wanted to share with you pictures from New Years but I took the weekend to relax with friends and loved ones. Now I'm geared up and ready for more awesomeness on Makeup By Ren Ren. I'll make sure to have pictures this week of my New Year's Look, as well as my Vision Board for 2011! Meanwhile, I'll go ahead and start off the week with a look I did a few weeks ago featuring MAC's Club eyeshadow.
