Hi Everyone! Here are a few images from an ANTM party (America's Next Top Model) inspired photo shoot that I did makeup for a few weekends ago. This was a birthday party, so they partied while they vogued! Looks like fun, huh?!

DPics of Yours Truly!
Hi Everyone! Recently, I had gotten my wedding dress out to use for a couple shoots for models. And before I get it preserved and put away for a long time, I decided why not get back into it for a few images for myself. I talked my hubby into getting into a suit and we had my good friends, IQ Foto shoot us at the Jeffrey Mansion. I did airbrush makeup on both of us. Yup, my husband is so wonderful he let me use him as a model for airbrush makeup!
So if you are wondering what "dpics" stands for, well, they are pictures you can take the day after your wedding, although it can be a day, a month, a year later, whenever you are able to take some time with your sig other and enjoy that special time without worrying about time and running back to your guests at your own reception. If you are interested in airbrush makeup, please view my web or contact me for more information. If you are interested in "dpics", please contact IQ Foto at iqfoto.com.

Top 10 Makeup Items on My Wishlist!
Hi Everyone! As the holiday season approaches, makeup retailers bring out holiday special limited editions and come out with new enticing makeup items. Here are my top 10 items I've had my eyes on.
Bobbi Brown Lip Artist Palette
I love this palette because the colors are all wearable for so many different skin tones. This palette includes matte, sheer, and semi-gloss shades of lip colors.
Bobbi Brown BBU Foundation Concealer Corrector Palette
This palette has been highly recommended by many top makeup artists. Foundations, correctors and concealers are all included in this palette. The shades are vast making possibilities endless for all skin tones.
Givenchy Prismissime Compact Highlighter Powder
I am in love with this powder palette. I love the shades and think it would be gorgeous on brides. The colors are so pretty and shimmery.
MAC DSquared Sculpt & Shape Powder & MAC 165 Tapered Sculpting Brush
I saw this at MAC in Nordstrom a few weeks ago. They were sold out of it already. I love the brush, too. I hoping they get it back in stock soon. The brush is also a great asset to the brush collection.
Dior Eyeshadow Palette - Stylish Move 970
This eyeshadow palette is so gorgeous. I saw this at Nordstrom as well. I swatched the colors on my hand and the colors are so pigmented. This is the perfect Fall/Winter eyeshadow quad. You can do a neutral day look and darken it up for holiday parties.
GHD Straightner BCA 2009 IV Edition
I've had my eye on the GHD for over a year. My straightner is still doing the job, but as soon as it goes, this will be my pick for sure. I am a sucker for gift sets!!!
Sephora Brand Smokey Eye Palette
Although I have eyeshadow palettes among eyeshadow palettes, I always look at this when I am at Sephora. I just love the colors together. I love having small quads because they are small enough to throw in your purse or cosmetic case instead of carrying huge eyeshadow palettes.
Ed Hardy Love Kills Gift Set
All I can say is that I am obsessed with everything Ed Hardy! I will leave it at that!
Lorac Eye & Cheek Red Carpet Reveal Palette
When I was at Sephora last time, I kept on looking at this palette. I think the colors are so striking. I want it!
Sephora The Ultimate Guide to Makeup, Skin & Hair
I love collecting makeup guides. This is a must on the list. Honestly, I like collecting these to freshen up my skills, but also they will look good on my coffee table in my studio!
New business cards!
So excited, just received my new business cards! I LOVE them!!! Since I have a brand new website, I wanted new business cards to complement! The old ones had old info on them anyways.

Oldie, But Goodie Product Review
Hi Everyone! While I am sitting here uploading images to my website (a very long process!), I thought I would drop by and give you guys a product that I have been using religiously and cannot live without. As the seasons change, our skin and the way it acts does, as well. My skin tends to dry out ALOT in the winter. So I have been using Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. It is awesome. I put it on after I wash my face and before I put makeup on in the morning. It has done my skin wonders. My face feels soft and supple and no dryness or flakiness either. I seriously love this stuff!!! Also, a little incentive, Clinique is doing gift right now so you spend a certain amount of $ and you get a free gift. And their gifts are really good!

My Favorite Costume
Hi Everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. I just got finished passing out Halloween candy for our subdivision block party. And I just realized I didn't upload my favorite costume from last weekend's Halloween photo shoot. So here it is. I did the makeup and the wardrobing for this shoot. Isn't it the cutest?!

Makeup brush & drugstore haul!
Hi Everyone! Who says you have to buy $35 brushes to get nice brushes?! I bought 11 makeup brushes that work amazing (and even better than some of my $50 brushes by name brands)! I am in love with Sonia Kashuk brushes available only at Target! The powder brush is the best of the best and I got it for $11.99; you can't beat that!! Also I bought two brushes by Ecotools which are extremely soft, that is the deal breaker, I have to have the softest brushes! I picked up some eyeshadows by Maybelline. I love their quads and duos! I hopefully can do some videos with the new colors! I do use a lot of MAC eyeshadows, but I never turn my back on drugstore brands, they keep better and better. Keep your eyes out for Loreals Hip Duos and Liners, PHENOMENAL! Have a wonderful night! I am off to clean my new brushes for my weekend of marathon weddings!! ~Thanks, Ericka
