Therefore, my 2011 resolution is to update this blog more!
So...where have I been and what have I been up to?
WELL...since you asked...
I FINALLY finished Beauty School!! WAHOO! I took a break from school and studying to work @ a Supply House to get more aquanted with many different lines and products, to help myself be more well-rounded (and hopefully) increase my chances of getting into one of my "Top Choice" Salons.
I've been working assisting my "Team Hair" Partner, Alice in her MUA Adventures in our Metro-Detroit Wonderland. Thanks to my two closest friends, Alice (who I sometimes assist) and K (BFF who's an agency represented model) I have had quite a few Beauty Adventures myself over the past year-ish.
My lovely BFF is quite amazing: An Agency Represented model, Smart (like Engineer for a major car company smart!), and the sweetest person ever! So a few years back when she decided that her birthday was "Just Another Day" me and her boyfriend decided to surprise her with a dinner party with her "Inner Circle" at her favorite restaurant! Well, as it turns out...the gentleman I happened to sit next to at this fab din for my BFF is QUITE the VIP in our area.
He invited me to sign up for one of his group events and TA-DA!! I had all kinds of shoots (and was asked back to the next event he had) that stemmed from this ONE dinner party!
My Kitty-ism for the day is this: You never know when you're going to be "discovered." Get your Beautious self out there and NETWORK! I can NOT stress enough how important business cards are. I NEVER leave home without some now. You never know what the day will bring you, so BE PREPARED! Also, make sure you THANK the people that got you where you are, and let them KNOW how much you appreciate EVERYTHING they've done for you. Humility is something not often found in this industry. Divas abound, saying "Please" and "Thank You" will get you MUCH farther than "GIMME" and "NOW!!"
Whew... /end rant
TFP is a WONDERFUL thing when your just starting out. I'm lucky in the fact that at the beginning of my MUA career I happen to meet the right people and be in the right place at the right time, so my Port has A LOT of depth to it in a VERY short amount of time.
Back to the MAIN purpose of this bloggy-poo. Here are my recent purchases of the Beauty L00TZ!!!
From Mirabella:
Fashion Smoke in the Le Smoking Collection
Shade 3N in Pure Press
IIIN in Liquid Cream Foundation
Felt Tip Black Eyeliner
(Editor's Note: Maybe my eyes are abnormally oily...but the first two times I used this it seemed to wipe right off. Next time I'm priming my eyes to see how that works for me.)
If you're not familiar with Mirabella here is their site as well: Mirabella
My most recent beauty purchase was this:
Centerfushia by Lime Crime
I've had my eye on this company for awhile now, keep in mind, this make-up is NOT for the weak-of-heart! The only semi-sad news is that due to their reformulation process, many colors I wanted to purchase are out of stock currently! :'( However, the reformulation process is for a GREAT reason...They are switching over to an all Vegan formulation! (They are already cruelty-free!)
Here is the link to read more about this wonderful company...if you're interested. Lime Crime Site.
Have no fear my Kitty Krew! I will post pics and feedback on this loveliness as soon as I get my paws on it!
Kitty Signing Off...TTFN Loveys!
