CB1209

Makeup artists, this one’s for you! — A makeup artist’s life is all about being in a model’s zone. When doing detailed liner, or a complex lip, we like to get in there. It’s a fact that with our job, we get in someone’s bubble, real quick. At least for my experience. And when getting in someone’s bubble, unwanted scents from the mouth are a-not-okay.

I recently found out about CB12’s mouthwash. A mouthwash that ensures a good breath up to 12 hours. Guess what? it has changed my confidence around models… Continue reading ‣

If you’re a fanatic Game of Thrones watcher, you know as no other how gorgeous Emilia Clarke’s Khaleesi—the mother of dragons/queen of life, basically—hair is. Those blonde manes have us wishing there was a magic potion that could transform our hair into her heavenliness in seconds. But, of course, Emilia wears a wig for that character.

Well my friends, no need for all that! Celebrity and Dove hair stylist Mark Townsend—who has worked with Emilia regularly—has finally shared his secrets… Continue reading ‣

Who remembers the good old days of creating your most stunning look yet, using the Coastal Scents 88 palette, finishing your base off with that iconic kabuki powder brush. And, giving your nails an unique design using the Konad plates? — The old school days.

I recently purchased NYC’s Liquid Eyeliner in Black, because of all the times Chrisspy and Desi Perkins used it in their videos. The classic brush eyeliner tip with actual, movable hairs, brought me back to the old days. Let’s take a closer look at this gem, shall we? Continue reading ‣

Review: Garnier Pure Active BB Cream

GarnierBB09

There used to be a dark time in my life where I did not want to acknowledge the existence of BB Creams. I even went so far as to say that I would never like one.—the horror!—They just all looked like sheer, tinted moisturizers to me. Until recently, I got introduced to the Kings and Queens of BB Land. The best of the best. The BB Royalty. And I fell in love. A BB that helped me fall in love with the entire trend? The Garnier Pure Active BB Cream Continue reading ‣
