What's NEW?!?! Loving Blue & Urban Decay Razor Powder

HEY!

It seems as Blue will be thee color for Fall and it's all good cause it's my favorite color, whooohooo!!!! 

So far I'm feeling NARS new blue for the Fall - 

Can I scream GORG!!!!

I began playing with the BLUES inspired by Alexandra Stan music video "Mr. Sax" BUT I began applying without looking at the photo so this is NOT a replication

Another product I'm feeling is Urban Decay's Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder.  It feels nice & light on the skin with or without makeup so that alone is a BIG+. It's designed to "perfect the skin" especially for photos & videos.  If you're interested, click on the link below to read more info.

must twist right to open & left to close

The applicator attached - sponge buffer (not meant to be removed)

At first, I didn't understand how to use this product.  It's designed to be 'mess free' so you have to twist the top to open and close, however, I felt like nothing was coming out so I would just completely open it.  After a few weeks of using this product, I've come to really like it and learned how to use it.  Now when I twist it to open,  too much powder comes out, I never win, lol.  So I simply stipple the powder on my face and then go over with a powder brush to distribute evenly. 

Demonstration -

Before

Hey, Hey, Hey - no one has perfect skin

 After

What do you think?

I used Revlon ColorStay Foundation, MAC Studio Finish concealer and then Urban Decay's powder.

PROS:
feels nice on the skin (bare skin or over makeup)
doesn't clog pores
reduce shine
easy to use (twist open/close)
mess free (saves time)
justice served (skin looks well in photos)


CONS:
Package (when twisting too much product comes out)
Sponge attached (can't clean.  I use Beauty So Clean to disinfect)

Fighting Leukemia with Fashion

I am so proud of having the opportunity of being apart of this event.  The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (L.L.S) - fighting blood cancer - hosted a fund raiser to raise money for children and their families fighting life threatening illnesses.  The event was a fashion show located at 404 Lounge in New York City.  I volunteered to do makeup, but I really wanted to be present cause this event is very close to my heart for I am a mother with a child fighting Leukemia.  My son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L) when he was 2 yrs. old.  He's now almost 6 yrs. old and is close to finishing his treatment of 3 years.  I know for a fact how these events help families like mine and I am truly appreciative to witness it at first hand.

Honestly, I went to this event with no clue to what to expect, but I was extremely excited cause it was my first time attending a fashion show.  It was exactly what you see on T.V shows like 'Sex in the City' and 'The Next Top Model.'  By the time I arrived, mostly all the models were dolled up already by the other two makeup artists and styled by the stylists.  All the models were so beautiful and handsome.

You know I took pictures, lol, but my camera is breaking slowly cause I had trouble snapping all night and if that wasn't the case some pictures look blurry.  Enjoy the slide show!    

The show was fantastic!!!!  I was informed that more than 260 guests attended and raised over $10,000, which is AWESOME!!!  This supports L.L.S mission to cure those battling leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.  

THANK YOU L.L.S!!!!  

God Bless ALL who are battling cancer or know someone who is!!!!
