1960s Inspired Photo-shoot: Behind the Scenes Video

Here is the behind the scenes video of the photo-shoot we did this weekend at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fl. As always we had a blast working again with Diana Santisteban.

We will be posting the pictures soon in our Print Portfolio.

The 69th Annual Golden Globes Awards

Last night was the 69th Annual Golden Globes Awards. I love watching E! Red Carpet interviews. This year Pepsi presented the Glam Cam 360 where you can see your favorite stars from head to toe in every angle! Below you will see a recap of my top five dressed actresses, favorite hairstyles and makeup of the show.

Celebrity Inspired Romantic Updo

I can officially say I'm obsessed with updos! I've been styling my hair up all week adding ribbon, fresh flowers, and bedazzled clips. They are so much fun and they make me feel very pretty. For the ladies that do not like having their hair all to the back, side updos are perfect for you. Side hairstyles have been popular amongst many famous stars like Lauren Conrad, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and Carrie Under just to mention a few.

These styles inspired me to create Lisay's Romantic Updo. This is part 2 of Lisay's makeover. She normally wears her hair down so I created this side romantic updo for her special event. 

Beauty Makeup for Teens

Hi Girls!

Here is my friend Lisay, she was invited to an anniversary party and wanted to look extra special for the event. Lisay is only sixteen years old and normally doesn't wear a lot of makeup. So I decided to use browns, golds, and a hint of blue to add a bit spunk to this look.

Confessions of a "Makeupholic" and a new look!

I'm one of those people that not only loves playing with makeup, but that also has this fascination with collecting makeup. Needless to say, when the new Urban Decay book of shadows was announced, I convinced myself not to get it. "I have so much makeup," " i barely even have time to put on makeup with a toddler running around," and "I already have a lot of those colors," where some of the things I told myself.

Then, I went to my local Sephora and the Book of Shadows was the first thing I saw when I came in. Tempting me and drawing me in with the cute purple speaker-my favorite color!- and super cute butterflies, how dare they! So I did what any sensible adult woman would do, I bought it, even though I didn't need it, I bought it!

Adele inspired Updo

Hi Dolls, this side updo is inspired by the fabulous Adele! Her style screams vintage/50s inspired. So, get ready to take out your teasing brushes to get this glam look. This updo is great for any event. You can dress it up by adding rhinestones or fresh flowers. Best part is it only take 15 minutes and you do not need hot tools!

Behind the Scenes- Day to Night Beauty

Hello Makeup Friends,

I wanted to share with you a Behind the Scenes video of a fresh beauty look. In it, you can see how easily a look can be changed from office appropriate, to "let's party." A few months ago, I had the pleasure of working with this model, Jenny, for some head shots for her portfolio. We took the look from...

Tutorial: Fall 2011 Look- Inspired by Beyonce

Hello my dear makeup friends!
Oh how I have missed this blog! I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I am back. I have been super busy in both my professional life and my personal life. Between motherhood, purchasing and remodeling a new house, going back into the workforce, and a million other things, I have abandoned my blog. Eleni has been holding down the fort while I was gone, and she has done a fabulous job. I know you all enjoyed her super cute looks. Okay, enough with the blabber, I know you will forgive me. I finally took pictures of a look and I can't wait to share it with you. 


I, along with probably all makeup bloggers out there, fell in love with the makeup looks in Beyonce's new video "Countdown." Here is my own version of one of the looks in the video. I used colors that compliment my complexion, so don't expect an exact copy, this is just inspired by it.

Here is the look I'm talking about:

It's retro, fresh, and cute! What's not to love?

Elegant Voluminous Bun Tutorial (5 minutes)

I wanted to share with you all this elegant bun I created for work. As a few of you may know, I'm completing my Special Education internship this semester. I'm teaching seven autistic boys in second and third grade. So you can only imagine how busy I am! Today I was observed on a science lesson; so of course, I wanted to look extra nice. Did I mention I LOVE MY BOYS!? Anyways...I find this look appropriate for work, parties, and/or events! This classic bun is a great way to add class and sophistication to your style.
