Today is a busy day for me! First, I got up early to pack my makeup bag for another gig I have tonight. I am going to be doing my friend Shervon's makeup for her 25th birthday! After I packed the bag, I was about to leave the house when a big mark. order came in! I had to then stop and try on the dresses I bought, and I must say that I am in loooove them! After that, I ran to get my hair cut, and make a last min. errand before I came back to finish getting ready. I just filmed this quick update for you guys, then I am leaving for the makeup gig! Hopefully when I finish doing Shervon's makeup, I will make it back in time to meet up with my parents and Enrique for a little get together in my building. Manana? Doing my last assignment for the semester! It's due Tuesday! Wish me luck! Good luck to any of you guys who have final papers or projects!

Until then,

Three New Awards...

at Wednesday, December 09, 2009

The "I Frequently Read Your Blog" Award, The "I Love Your Blog" Award, & A second "I Love Your Blog" Award

I have been awarded with The "I Frequently Read Your Blog" Award and the "I Love Your Blog" Award, by my blogger friend, GeekyMacBoy--thanks so much! I did not expect this, and I really appreciate it! I was then awarded the third award, another "I Love Your Blog" Award by Photography by me. Thank you! Now comes the hard part, having to choose only a few blogs out of the many talented people that I follow. Since I kind of went over-board with picking over 20 people for the last award, I will try my best to only stick to 15. Please do not get offended if you didn't get chosen this time around, there will be more awards circulating I'm sure! I want to thank the following people for being talented, original, and creative! Following what GMB said, "To the people that I am awarded, consider yourself nominated for all three of these awards!" Of course, you are not obligated to accept all three if you do not wish to do so, just know that I thought of you!

Rules:

Post the award on your blog together with the name of the person who has given you the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award :)

I nominate the following people for all three awards:

Event: Princess Themed Birthday Party!

at Friday, December 04, 2009

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

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.
