Mermaid Photoshoot Makeup
Categories gigs, photo shoot makeup 18 Comments
Aloha everyone! (That is, if you still visit my blog, hehe!)
I plan on being a little more active on my Facebook page so if you haven't already, please click here to 'Like' my Facebook Page. I'll be doing a giveaway for that soon. :)
First off, I won't give you the sad story about how I haven't been blogging lately. I'm sure you all have noticed that lol. Although I do apologize for my followers who regularly come to my blog, only to find out there isn't anything new. There's really no other reason besides the fact that I've been busy with my personal life. I just recently joined 24 Hour Fitness and have started working out regularly (which I will be blogging about on my personal blog soon!) and I've also been networking with more local models and photographers in my area to build my portfolio. But enough of that. I know that many of you would like to see more makeup looks/tutorials, reviews (there are a few lined up) and everyone's favorite-hauls! I am also thinking of making more makeup tutorial videos on YouTube by request. I've lost a few pounds so hopefully I can start feeling a little more confident in front of the camera lol. Yesterday I met with a consultant for Motives Cosmetics and will be attending a seminar tomorrow. So yes, a lot of exciting things have been happening and I will share more on my personal blog soon. I also would like to host a 2nd giveaway since I am getting closer to 400 followers, I'm currently at 395 and I would like to thank all 395 of you for following. I don't have anything planned today so I'll be able to play around with makeup. :) But it's 2 a.m. so I'll be getting my Z's soon after this post. Anyhoo, I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying this fabulous (and scorching) Summer season! ;)
On Thursday I had a wonderful opportunity to work with a young, up and coming model who, like myself, is working to build her portfolio. She was a pleasure to work with-nice and friendly, mature and professional with a great attitude to match. I had so much fun working with her and she is a wonderful model. :) The photographer was awesome as well. This was a mermaid photo shoot so we decided to do something a little more elaborate. I know you've all seen it before but I did use fishnet stockings to create the scales on her forehead and temples. I made the scales more dimension on the front forehead area and it gradually faded to her temples and side of her face. I believe the lashes that I chose for her (Red Cherrys, forgot the number) were a good match for the makeup, they were criss-cross lashes with rhinestones. Honestly, it took me a little over 2 hours but she loved it and kept saying that she didn't want to wash it off when she went home lol! Alright, enough of the babble! I'll leave you all with a few photos-they're clickable. ;)

Photo Shoot Makeup
Categories gigs, photo shoot makeup, update 13 Comments
Hello Dolls! I hope you all are doing well! ;)
I know I've been a little MIA from the blogging scene this month and I do apologize and thank all of you who still visit my blog. Thank you to all my new followers as well. ;)
I want to thank Hussy over at Beauty Product Hussy for notifying me via email that I won her giveaway! I was absolutely elated when I found out because I've never won a giveaway before. I haven't even ever won a raffle prize before lol. So Thank You, Hussy for having such an awesome giveaway. Please visit her blog if you get a chance, she has some great reviews to check out. :)
I'm excited to share with you that I've finally started on getting my professional portfolio together. I've been networking with local photographers and models here in Hawaii and I've already met some amazing people. This is what I've always wanted to do and I'm really happy that I'm actually getting the ball rolling to fulfill my dreams. I'm waiting for my business cards to come in and also currently working on my final contract. So far I've only worked with one model and 2 photographers but I loved the experience and can't wait to collaborate with others. I do have a few more projects lined up that are still in the works, so I'll keep you posted. If you read in my previous post, I'm still in my makeup slump and have only been wearing makeup if I need to. Part of that is because I have broken out a little and I'm trying to let my face clear up. =\ Anyhoo, I'll leave you all with some photos from the shoots I did. All photos are clickable to enlarge, hope you all enjoy it. ;)

I received an invite from them on my Twitter and I was able to check out the website and got to add a few of my makeup looks there.

All you have to do is fill out some basic information and they will send you a confirmation email and you're good to go. I've already met some amazing people on the site so it's definitely worth checking out. They were also kind enough to have me featured on their Facebook Page. Thank you, Makeupbee! =)

Believe it or not, I have been in somewhat of a makeup brain-fart stage. lol. I've been a little uninspired lately but it happens here and there. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon and create something juicy lol. I've also been on a makeup no-buy because I seriously have so many things that I have yet to even open and try out. I am, however, a little crazy about nail polishes! I know I mentioned that before but I think I have a problem lol. In my last nail polish haul I mentioned a local nail supply store that has now closed after 25 years. Let me just say that they had some incredibly outrageous deals that I just could not resist. So expect a collective haul post soon. I was loving Orly and Zoya but my new favorite is CND (Creative Nail Design). The brush applicator is nothing like I've ever tried before. It's amazing! Anyhoo, here are my nails of the week. :)
NailTek II Intensive Therapy Base Coat, CND Colour in 'Plumville' (2 coats), Wet N' Wild's 'Party of 5 Glitters' (3 coats), & Seche Vite Top Coat
What are your favorite brands of polish? What are you currently rocking on your nails? I'd love to know! ;)
