Okay, so here's a mini-post.....

I decided to just do a quick post. I used Serene, Iced Violets, and Lace all from BFTE of course. I desperately need a real camera and not just my stinking phone, but it's the best I can do for right now.

My apologies about the hiatus.....

I just really have been going through somethings around here lately and I've lost a lot of drive to do much of anything. I received my new order from BFTE and I need to swatch them for everyone, so I hope to do that within the next day or two. Thanks for being patient with me!

The Egyptians REALLY worshipped Ra?!?

Yeah, I'm crazy sunburned right now. I spent the day with my little sister, Mary, my daughter Gabby, and her friend Gillian. I slathered myself in waterproof/sweatproof SPF 50 but to no avail. I am baked more than a ham at Christmas (minus the Coke and brown sugar)! The sun made me so ill today that I think I only went to the bathroom twice and I was drinking all day! By the time we left the water park, I was D-O-N-E. I didn't ride half of what I wanted to because I was feeling so sick. What finally did me in was a water slide that is pretty much pitch black with the exception of holes that make faces in the plastic siding. You couldn't see where you were going and I was literally in panic attack mode. I still shudder thinking about it! Claustrophobia and anxiety attack for the "win"! Needless to say, I am not in the mood to do a makeup look today. I'm about ready to crash out. I will try to do better next week. In the meantime, I need some ideas. Color suggestions would be nice :-)

Lighter Shade of Rainbows....

So sorry for the delay, people! Life has interjected and made me it's bitch :-/ I did a paler, more pastel version of the rainbow eye for Easter. I really liked it too. I used Aloha, Peachy, Spirit, Lucky Me, Aqua, and Iced Violets by BFTE. I need to come up with something obnoxiously bright and summery soon!

I created a business card.....

UPDATED VERSION:



My oh-so-thoughtful "friend" Larry told me that I couldn't legally call myself a cosmetologist without a license, I had to redesign my business card. I am so livid at that man. He actually just HAD to go looking for the information to prove he was right. His response was, ""Apparently I'm correct, indiana law says that a cosmetologist is defined as someone licensed as such. Just saying...the fines are pretty stiff to operate illegally. Alternatively to call yourself a make-up artist is separate. I think the main reason is that a cosmetologist also performs other non-makeup procedures."

So I won't get thrown in the slammer for doing a bride's makeup illegally, I changed things around. I need opinions, please. I haven't ordered these yet, just worked on them. I can remove my photo or whatever. Just need some advice.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow....

For those that know me, you know that I love doing the whole rainbow eye look. It's bold, it's bright, some love it, some hate it, but it always puts me in a better mood. I've gotten stopped by MAC employees saying how much they love it. I've gotten stopped by SO many people and it's just so damn fun to do! I used to do it even when I worked in the blue and khaki drab world of Wal-Mart. Mom totally thought I shouldn't do it when at work but it made me feel bright & cheery even when I was bummed out. I just enjoy doing it. Tomorrow, I will post the pastel version of the eye. Everything I used, I used out of the Rockin' Rainbow Collection from BFTE found here: http://bftecosmetics.com/collections/boxed-collections/rockin-rainbow

Something a wee bit tropical....

I didn't actually wear makeup today! I totally vegged out all day and it was fabulous. I like doing this particular look. It's Blueberry, Green Apple, and Grape (all from BFTE) and it's totally bright! Keeping this brief for tonight. I will try to do something later in the day :-)
