Monday Morning Makeup Kit
Monday, March 4, 2013
Good morning all! It’s Monday and if you’re like me, you’re already nursing a cup a coffee and trying to wake up and get motivated. I have my “Ellie Goulding” pandora station going to get me moving, and I’ve already gone through my emails and made my contacts for today for later gigs this week I have going on. I have a few errands today including a visit to the VA Hospital for check ups, lunch with a friend, a face paint workshop this afternoon I will be teaching. Then, last but not least, I am stocking my makeup kit this week on some things I am low on.
I wanted to share some makeup essentials that are on my wish list or that I already have. Just in case any fellow makeup artists out there are reading, I will provide links (when you click on the image, it should take you to wear you can purchase items!)
Portable Makeup Station
Kryolan Ultra Cream Foundations
Kryolan Make Up Case
Ben Nye Setting and Face Powders
Ben Nye Foundation Pallete ( I am ordering this one!)
Isn’t this necklace really cute?! I need to get this!
Ben Nye Concealer Wheel
Bobbi Brown Face Pallete
ZUCA Pro Makeup Bag Set
A lot of my makeup I have posted here, if you haven’t noticed is Ben Nye and Kryolan. If you have never heard of these brands, they are mainly used for stage makeup or even movie production makeup. You see these brands behind the scenes and even at the IMATS. (International MakeUp Trade Show)
I use Ben Nye for my body painting, but I want to branch out and start using their cosmetics as well. Their foundations and powders really help on photoshoots helping to keep your model looking fresh and not oily and sweaty as their foundations, powders and sealers help to keep it sweatproof and long lasting. I am ordering a bunch of stuff this week and next, so I will be sure to give reviews if yall want that sort of thing.
Here are a few images of their catalog from the Ben Nye Website
This is a pic of Priscilla Ono, who is an amazing MUA! This is her latest obsession color above! She pulls it off really well!
And some exciting news out there for Hair Stylists that use Paul Mitchell Products, they finally made a Dry Shampoo Spray! So, keep your eyes open for this one! I haven’t bought it yet, but I will be because I am a huge fan of dry shampoo!
I’s thinking of doing something like this (color wise) to my hair. What do you think?
Well, I need to get into the shower and get ready for the day! Thanks for waking up with me this morning!
Don’t forget to smile today! You never know whose day you will brighten!

Kid Fashion Models
Sunday, March 3, 2013
Good Evening,or I should say good morning (as it is 1:23 AM as I start this blog post)to my fellow artists and creators still awake! I just got done redrawing and coloring a tattoo design and I am contemplating drawing another version of the tattoo while I still have some energy. MMMMeeeeerrrrrr!
I hope that everyone has had a nice Saturday! The Kreative Thinking Apparel Team met up yesterday and today to hold auditions for our fashion show in June coming up. I brought the kiddos today and they even strutted their stuff down our runway. It was so adorable! We had an ok turnout, but the Virginia Fashion Scene is a lil on the slow side. For real!
The weather was kind of chilly and after the auditions, I was ready to take a nap! Does anyone else have days like that? I think my sleep schedule is still a lil off, because I am wide awake now in my art studio (AKA my dining room). I need to go to bed, because in the morning, the whole family is helping my Aunt and grandparents move into their new house. I’m a lil bummed that hubby and I didn’t get to go to the Hampton Roads Tattoo Expo this year. We went last year and it was so much fun!
I feel like I have so much to do, and I’m having trouble focusing right now. This month is slammed with so much going on. Hopefully, Ill be alright. I think I’m a lil off because I havent had any coffee today. I ran out 
ok, Im rambling! Time to go to bed! See ya tomorrow!

Victorian House Built in 1920
Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong era? I feel like this all the time. I have always been fascinated with the early 1920’s era. I had a past life regression and (you can believe or not believe in that sort of stuff) I had a past life in 1912. I could go into hours of babbling on about that, but that would stray away from what I am talking about, which I am already doing. I love Victorian Houses! When I was stationed in upstate New York, there were so many houses that I just fell in love with. Not only in New York, Victorian houses are everywhere!
Here are a few cools ones I found that I wanted to share with you!
This is my favorite one above! This would totally be the color scheme I would pick too!
The whole reason for this post is because the Kreative Thinking Apparel Team (partial team) got together earlier this evening to check out a venue for a fashion show were holding in June! We wanted it to be held in a place that would be different than your usual venue. What better place than a Victorian House! Thanks to hospitality to the Women’s Club of Ghent Norfolk, we were able to get a tour of the place.
Talk about charm and intrigue! I fell in love automatically just from stepping foot on the wraparound porch and into the entry way.
I cant wait to help host this fashion show! Its going to be fun. Tomorrow we have the first round of auditions for our models and I should be heading off to bed. Its already almost 130am! Geez! Goodnight all! Have a great friday tomorrow!
