Tokidoki Soda Shop Collection Review & Tutorial

I got more Tokidoki makeup! I purchased the Soda Shop palette along with a Kabuki Brush and Pittura angled blush brush. As you will find from my review, I liked everything except for the eyeliner. I hope you enjoy my review and natural bronze tutorial using the Tokidoki Soda Shop palette!

NCSU 2011 Art to Wear Fashion Show

I am so excited to share the experience of working my first fashion show with you all. I had the amazing opportunity to be the key makeup artist for Designers Afaf Seyam and Suzy Atkinson for the 10th Anniversary North Carolina State University 2011 Art to Wear Fashion Show. I worked on 7 models in 4 hours. Half of their face was supposed to have a silver metallic theme and the other side was natural. The theme of their collection was modern architecture, so they had pieces inspired by the Chysler Building, Beiging Bubble Building, the Bird Nest in Beiging, the Guggenheim in Spain, the Cathedral Brazile, and the Seattle Space Needle. Suzy and Afaf are so talented and I was honored to be their makeup artist.
Here are some pictures as well as the video I put together:

NARS Orgasm Tutorial

I recently purchased Nars’ Orgasm line of makeup at Sephora. They had a box set with lip gloss, blush, highlighter stick and nail polish. I was reluctant to buy it for a really long time because I didn’t want to give in to the hype of the name. I finally gave in when this value set came out. I’m am a coral fiend, so this line was pretty much made for me. I love how perfect the blend of pink and orange pigments look on my neutral yellow skin. Please watch my NARS Orgasm Tutorial video to see how you can wear these products.

Wonder Woman Makeup Tutorial

I love the new Wonder Woman makeup collection from M.A.C.! Everything down to the packaging is top notch. I got the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder ($35), “Lady Justice” eye shadow quad ($40), “Red Russian” matte lipstick ($15.50), “Wonder Woman” lipglass ($20), and “Themyscira” blue Opulash mascara ($15). There’s really no point in doing a review on this line because everything M.A.C. creates is amazing. I’ll cut to the chase and show you all my new tutorial!
