October is very special!

Hey everyone,

First and foremost, sorry for missing in action. Ive been seriously busy with moving, getting married, working, and juggling clients in the midst of all of this. However I wanted to share a few pictures of my wedding day. This day was beyond amazing that it would take me forever to describe in a single blog post so I will just be very brief. It was really hectic and chaotic but I would never change it for the world. I love every minute of it and am so thankful for lovely family and friends that made it possible. A lot of people that day asked me "Did you get yourself ready?" and the answer is Yes! I did in fact get myself ready. This was a long process but I was beyond satisfied with the outcome and I hope you guys are as well.

On a side note, October is breast cancer awareness month. Loosing a close family friend to breast cancer was something that I will never forget. Watching this courageous women struggle through treatment but still remain strong and happy, it was something I can not even begin to describe. For every blog view/comment that I get I will match that number and donate the money to breast cancer research.
http://www.cancer.ca/ Ive provided a link where you can find more information/stories/facts about breast cancer and how to help!

Another reason why October is soooooo special is.............its my Birthday month. My birthday is just in a few days so in order to celebrate ill be doing a huge contest with a goodiebag worth over  $150. Ill have more information about the contest towards the end of the month but until then, Enjoy the pictures! To see more pictures visit my facebook page.

Wing it up!

Hey Everyone,

Long time no post I know, for that I do apologize! Ive just been really busy with work and thanks to all for your support I have been busy with clients! But I'm not complaining I love every minute of it. My blog has over 3100 hits, and I can NOT thank you guys enough for everyone who stops by. Ive been meaning to do a blog post of winged eyeliner for a while but never got enough time to work on it, thanks to the long weekend that just past I managed to squeeze in some time and compose this for you guys with a few handy tips and tricks, Hope you enjoy! :)




Tip 1: The Brush

This tip is really tricky depending no what you are used to using some people are better with a fine haired brush some people with a felt tip some people like to use a totally separate brush like an angled one but it really depends on what your hand is comfortable with which can only be determined with trial and error! (depending on how it turns out, lets just not leave the house after that session :P)

Tip 2: The Product

There are TONNES of eyeliner products from pencils, brushes, markers, gel, glitter, water activated, and even a wet eyeshadow will do but it all depends again on what suits your eye lids and what your comfortable using. *WARNING* your eyelids are VERY VERY delicate and sensitive so make sure you try your product on your hand to see if it tingles or not and even get a professional to recommend something that is good for sensitive eyes id try something like Tarte or Clinique they are awesome all natural eyeliners that don't burn!

Tip 3: NO PULLING!

Its natural to pull and tug on the top of your eyelids to get a straight line but its the biggest mistake people do when applying eyeliner. Its damaging to the lid and can cause premature wrinkles and crows feet...yikes!
Try taking a mirror and placing it below your face sort of below your nose and look downward then try applying your eyeliner. Another tip use really small strokes instead of a one swipe shot, it'll opt for less of a mess up! Another trick is to rest your pinkie on your upper cheek to help give your hand stability

That's all for my tricks and tips on eyeliner! Enjoy the pictures a lot of work went into creating them :) Feel free to leave comments and suggestions on what you guys want to see next on my facebook page and stayed tuned for a HUGE contest I'm planning for the end of August worth over $100!
