Event: Shervon's 25th Birthday Party


As I mentioned in a previous post, I was hired by my friend Shervon to glam her up for her 25th Birthday Party!  Shervon is a natural beauty, who normally does not wear that much makeup.  After discussing her color preference and outfit choice, we both agreed that a nice golden look would make her eyes pop with the gorgeous black laced dress she would be wearing.  For her look, she asked that I did not apply anything to her lips, since she would be going out to eat right after our makeup session, and would be using her own lipstick.  I packed my bag for this event very similarly to my first event Chloe's Princess Themed Birthday Party, minus all of the glitter.
That post can be found here:

Below are pictures of me doing Shervon's makeup, I hope you enjoy! [picture-heavy]

And After!--A Happy Customer!! The look she had on her face when she said "Oh my God!" made my day =)








Shervon then completed her Diva look for the evening by slipping into her birthday dress..and some killer heels...way to make me look even shorter Shervon! It's okay, because it was her night to shine!

Event: Princess Themed Birthday Party!


I was recently hired to do a "Princess Themed Birthday Party" for a super-cool seven year old named Chloe.  She saw my work online and told her mom "I want to look like her!" How sweet!  After a conversation with her mother, MissGSketches, we decided that funky eye shadows, lip color, some blush, and glitter would make Chloe and her fellow diva's rock.  I packed my makeup bag to the brim with everything I could possibly need to make Chloe's day special.  Here is my you tube video on what I packed in the bag for this event, and pictures as well.




What I packed in the makeup bag for Chloe's Princess Themed 7th Birthday: [photo-heavy]
 The Makeup bag that I used...

Clockwise (All from Coastal Scents): 88 Shimmer Palette, 88 Warm Palette, 88 Matte Palette, 28 Neutral Palette
 
 T2B: 10 Piece Blush Palette, and 32 Lip Palette
 
Two Faced Shadow Insurance, and Facial Blotting Tissues from The Body Shop

Some Ben Nye Colors & Pencils


Gold Glitter Sample from Coastal Scents (In a Bare Minerals Container), & Silver Glitter from Mandee.


Sponge wedges, Spatulas, Double-sided eye-shadow applicators, and lip applicators.

A beading container which I turned into a palette: Each girl got her own compartment where I kept the applicators that were being used on her at the time, so that I would not get confused and so that nothing would be contaminated.  The larger compartment was used to mix the glitter with mixing medium.

Renior Brush Cleaner, Spray Bottle of water, spray bottle of Alcohol, Estee Lauder makeup remover, Eye wash, Visine eye drops, 100% Glycerin.


Cetaphil Facial Cleanser, Cetaphil Face Lotion, Baby Wipes, Tissue, Cotton Rounds, Q-tips, Regular mirror, and compact mirror.


My Coastal Scents 13 piece brush set, with three other of my own brushes.

Please vote for Lauren as one of the new faces of e.l.f. cosmetics!


Follow my blog with bloglovin


 



e.l.f. cosmetics is throwing a model search/contest to find their new models for the campaign, "beauty at all ages". They will be selecting four models from different age ranges and having a photo shoot with them in NYC. These four photos will then be posted on their website, where everyone will choose the grand prize winner!

All of the prizes sound exciting, but what excites me more is the chance to represent a great company and the products that they create. Please help me by clicking this link, and voting for me!

You can vote once daily, for only one model! So please let it be me! I would deeply appreciate it!

My personal statement: (Because of word count restrictions, I had to cut this down for their website, but this is the longer version of it)

I believe that I would be the perfect female model to represent e.l.f. in the year 2010 because I have a deep passion for beauty products and I understand how to sell them. I am a beauty blogger, model, and graduate school student who is an avid customer of your company and appreciates the quality of e.l.f.’s products. I believe that I posses a “natural and ethnic” look that would enhance your company’s products. My mixed heritages of Italian, Puerto Rican, and Colombian will only help flourish e.l.f.’s vision of beauty for every type of woman. Combine that with my knowledge and passion that I have in your company, photography, and beauty products in general, I believe that I am a great asset as the next face of e.l.f. cosmetics.

So right before this semester began, my computer had a little crisis and decided to die on me! =((
Which means I have lost nine...yes you heard right--NINE new videos that I had made for you guys...along with my work from my undergrad and grad school...and family pictures of my late grandmothers that I love.

I have faith that some how my father (who works with computers for a living), will be able to help me!  If for whatever reason, my computer is beyond repair, I have def. learned my lesson of backing up everything I do!

Because I am now in my last year of grad school (already!), and of the computer mishaps, I will not be posting on here as much as I like to.  I normally do one post on here a week.  Instead, I will be posting more on my blog, which is what I wanted to do in the first place. 

This video was put together very quickly just to show my subscribers who are not yet connected with me on twitter, facebook, or my blog: what I have been up to since my computer went kaput!

I also wanted to take this time to thank all of my lovely subscribers, friends, and viewers on here: I do all of this for you guys! I truly love everything beauty related, and I love reporting back to you guys about great finds, hauls and looks of course!

Love you guys!

Lauren =)

Korres Fashion Night Out Event




On September 10th, 2009, I was invited by my childhood friend Kathy, who works for Korres-- to their "Fashion Night Out Event".  It was a blast! I invited a fellow you tuber Carol to come with me and we had complimentary facials done!  I hope to soon interview Heather Mancini, Director of the Korres Retail Stores.  So keep an eye out for that!

The Descritpion of the Event on the Korres Facebook page:

The Foundation from Korres that everyone has been blogging & raving about:
 

Me getting ready for my facial, and Kathy working her skills on me!


The eyeliners that Korres makes are amazing! I might just have to go back & pick some up! They glide on smoothly, have a great color payoff, and wont smudge--even in the water line!  This is the first time I found an eye pencil that stays on in my water line.
The eye pencils by Korres, and swatches of them:


Thanks so much for inviting me to the Korres Fashion Night Out Event Kathy!
 
The night of the event, I purchased a package of three Lip Butters in "Jasmine", "Quince", and "Pomegranate".  This product is "a buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish.  The combination of shea butter and rice wax offers deep hydration and softness, ideal for chapped lips".


I enjoyed these products, the event, and customer service so much, I had to come back with my parents who also had facials done!  May I just add that Korres, a company founded in Greece, also has a great line of products for men? Keep that in mind for your special man's birthday or the next holiday coming up! Korres has a gift package of great products for men such as after shave, etc., that would make a great Father's Day Gift!
My father very much enjoyed getting a facial on his birthday =)

Ruscus & Chestnut SPF 15 Anti-Ageing Cream for Men
Ruscus & Chestnut SPF15 Eye Cream for Men
