I’m in complete denial that it’s getting cold outside and winter is on the way (I was just at the beach with my toes in the sand!). With cold weather comes many other things, and dry skin is not excluded. I have already started to stock up on my favorite heavy-duty moisturizers and realize that I might have a slight obsession. Especially after TSA threw away my favorite moisturizer at the airport

When it comes to lip color I am never one for fuss. The whole lip liner, lip stick and gloss combo is just way too much for my everyday liking. I have come to love anything that doesn’t require a mirror and steady balance. Which is why I really love matte lip color and lip stains.......Check out the rest of the article at Second City Style!(Kelley Woods, Beauty Editor for Second City Style)

With spring on it's way, some of us have started our spring cleaning, got our gym memberships back and scheduled our salon appointments. For me it's always the time to get my face back to it's pre-winter radiance. My skin always faces the biggest challenge over the winter months due to breakouts from food allergies, dry skin from the air, and splotchy skin from product over-use. I know we have

Never would I have thought I could continue a weight loss/ maintenance program for 4 months! Nutrisystem has been an interesting journey of pounds lost, calories cut, and a new way of eating. For the past month, I have been trying to incorporate regular food choices into my diet, and I can say I have done pretty good! I have dramatically cut out starches, and red meat, and pork. Now, its lots of

If it's one thing that I have with me at all times, it is a concealer!... Most days I get 'wow, you have such beautiful skin'... "Oh well geez thanks", and thank you concealer! Yes, I must have concealer everyday, to hide the darkness under my eyes, and yes, even to spot conceal. I can make do with just concealer and powder, but I do need all my fixin's... ha!If we are not getting lines, and

Here I am almost coming up on my month on Nutrisystem, and honestly I didn't think I could do it this long. Yes, I have been replacing some NS Meals with my own, because hey that's what I'm going to have to do when I'm no longer on NS, so it has been working.I finally weighed myself after not weighing myself for a few weeks, because I just knew I wasn't losing any weight. I had, had a few cheat

So, here I am at the end of week 14. My goal was to update my progress every week, but some week, i'm too consumed with work. However, I'm not too consumed that I can't stay on my Nutrisystem track. I have been weaning myself off of Nutrisystem for some meals, and I am very much surprising myself. Not only am I choosing healthier options, some of the foods I use to love, I no longer love as much.

As a makeup artist a flawless face is like the perfect canvas. It's a must that skin is clean, clear, and even. However, I know we are all not blessed with the best skin, but there are ways we can fake it ;) Check out my article at Second City Style on getting your face to be 'Flawless in Minutes'...The Perfect Flawless Face in Minutes..

It's been an emotional 3 months. I have reclaimed my body, in what I had hoped to do. I didn't lose 20 pounds as of now, However I have lost a considerable amount, and I am happy where I am. Maybe the 20 pounds was unrealistic, but maybe not. I see that I am happy with a 16 pound weight loss, and it looks great on me.I love the convenience of Nutrisystem, which i'm sure I'll miss most when I

So, I'm almost through my 3 months, and I have to say it was a pretty good ride. Not that I thought it would easy, but it wasn't as nearly as hard as it could have been. It definitely is taking a quit a bit of discipline, but it is really a straight forward method, and it has worked for me. To the date, I have lost a total of 17 pounds, hoping to near my new goal or 20 pounds at the end of my 3

Here I am at the end of week 9, and over the 8 week hump. After a few weeks of teetering between ounces, this is the first week after a few weeks, that I have lost 2 pounds in a week. I'm now officially over the 15 pound mark! yay.. I'm halfway there. The last 3 weeks have definitely been a challenge. For some reason I feel that my metabolism has increased, and I'm wanting to eat more. Not sure

I almost can't believe I am doing this post! I am one that is a little modest, and reserved so me revealing is huge. But hey, I know someone else feels this way, and they want change, so I want to be an example not only for them, but to know that it can be done, and to not lose all hope. When I started this journey I had just completed a 3 month exercise program. Yes, that's right Week 1 was

Keeps me accountable, as well as helps keep me on track. This week was a good week. No big cheats at all, just focusing on staying on the plan and keep my meals exciting.

This week wasn't so much a challenge, it was just hectic. I stay on the go, which is why I knew Nutrisystem would be great for me. Prepackaged food that I can just toss in my purse, how could you go wrong with that. This week I didn't expect much weight loss, because my body is still catching up from a few cheat days this past weekend. What can I say, we went on a weekend getaway with friends

Here I am at the end of another week of Nutrisystem. I had to actually think back, and wondered why I seemed like I been on Nutrisystem longer. But, I remembered I started almost in the middle of one week so technically I'm almost at week 4!.. So what have I lost this week?... Again, another 2 pounds.. yay!At this point my weight loss is noticeable. I'm up from a couple of

Here I am at the end of week 2 of my Nutrisystem Journey. After my first week of losing 3 pounds I was unsure what week 2 would have in store for me. But, surprisingly after today's weigh in I see I lost another 2 pounds!I received so many compliments over the last week, that apparently it is noticeable. If they see a difference with 5 pounds lost, wait until I get to the other 20 pounds. Gasp!

This week I embarked on a new Journey to regain my body back! Yes, that's right, a year later, a baby, a family and a business, it has taken a toll on my body. Not only am I struggling to lose the baby weight, but my nutrition and diet is not the best. I was on a workout program for months and lost pounds, but it still did not give me the results I desired, because I was unbalanced with my diet.

Due to my hectic lifestyle, I can say I'm not the most nutritious person, but I do try to watch what I eat, take my supplements, and stay on an active workout regimen. Sometimes supplements are easiest to take if I need a quick burst of energy, or just to feel over all good. So, I was excited when I was introduced by my client to Sibu Beauty, a premium sea buckthorn berry-based beauty and

If anyone knows me you know I am about Dior Mascara. I am a mascara junkie and nothing has pulled me away from my Dior Show BlackOut, and I have tried alot. I have the skimpiest lashes, and it's nothing like rich,lush lashes that have some major volume and curl. So, yesterday I happened to walk myself on in to Sephora, to do a little browsing and pick up a few things, and I noticed a new mascara

It's been a while since I have done a photo shoot, with so much that has been going on this year. But, I was able to sqeeze one in with the fabulous Alexey, and model Kaylie... This time I did makeup/ and hair, and was able to have a little creative freedom. However, she was a natural beauty, so I kept it basic ;)Here goes...

Before I even got into makeup Mr. Sam Fine was a staple name in my vocabulary. He was everything I knew about makeup. I would just sit in my room and study his books, mesmerized in how did he get those brows? , how did he achieve such flawless skin? Not to mention, the many faces I have seen in Essence Magazine... Well, this past weekend I got to meet Mr. Sam at his DVD Launch in DC and, Sam

Its been a while since I posted some hot makeovers. Well this weekend, I worked with a Bride who has actually already been married, but was taking Bridal pics again. So, this was her time to get extra glammed for her new photos. I already thought she was beautiful and couldn't wait to see what we could create. Well..... here she goes!Here's a little inside to what I used on her:For Face I used

For as long as I can remember, Sam has been one of the leading makeup artist I have been following. Everything about Sam is fine... His Work, His Attitude, His Ethic, and His Poise. Sam has got it all. With a copy of all of his books, I have spent many of nights buried in them. So I am so pleased to see the release of his DVD! From the preview clips it looks like Sam is putting it all for us to

After a month and a half break, I am back to doing Weddings! It was so refreshing to be back and doing what I love. I had a beautiful Wedding at the Grand Hyatt today. A party total of 7. The bride was naturally gorgeous, so her face was a playground. When I first had the trial with her, I had just received alot of beauty goodies, that I was dying to try, from Rock and Republic, La Praire, Estee

As a makeup artist I love a good smokey eye. But, when one thinks of smokey I they think dark browns, and blacks. However, a smokey eye can be actually created with any color,and that's why I am loving Armani's new Smokey Eye Shadows, Eyes to Kill Palette. How genius and gorgeous. For those of you who are challenged when it comes to creating a smokey eye, you will be happy to know that these

I haven't done a beauty/editorial shoot in so long I had to get back into my love. Plus, I had to try out some of my new products. Which is why I can't wait to rave about the products I used on one of my past shoot. This is a

I have to admit, I have been a little bitter with the summer and this rain! ..I mean I'm spending more time in rain boots, than my 'oh so lovely' sandals. Can we get a break so we can atleast break out the toes and fresh mani's for the pool? I'm not deterred though, I am still on appointments for my pedicures. I am a sucker for a great polish, and the summer always brings the prettiest. From

I totally remember when I first got into makeup, and because I didn't have that many foundations, and had to make do with what I had.. Making do was mixing 2 or 3 foundations to get the correct matching, or mixing lipstick shades to get that marvelous red that I wanted.That changed over time, even though I still mix, because I now have more of a supply. Okay a huge supply, but that's a different

Okay, I have to say..I have missed the past Bridal Palettes, but every time a new one comes out I am inclined to buy.. Why you say? I love that Nars creates palettes especially for Brides. Meaning it will include some of the most flattering, universal color for Brides. I love that this palette comes with the ever so popular NARS Orgasm Blush. That is one of my staple blushes for Brides.This

Yes, I love me a great lip gloss, and summer has some of the most beautiful colors. Think pinks, bronzes, corals, apricots, and shades of peach. However, knowing which color suites you is key. Universal shades are best, but be sure to try the color first or have someone assist you in color choices. A gloss that is sheer and not too bold works great for summer, and a long lasting gloss with SPF

I'm usually not a fan of scrubs, because I use a loofah daily that seems to exfoliate me enough, however, I recently used Scrub that promised baby soft skin, and a ultra glow. Well what was it and did it perform? Yes!!!!

I had the honor and pleasure of working with a beautiful Bride this weekend in Arlington! It's amazing how just 5 months can make you feel as if you have known them forever. Bridal makeup gives a personal peek into the lives of the Bride, because doing some one's face is often a 'private' space. This is someone that is trusting you with their face, and most times your judgement. So, I take so

As a makeup artist, I am always looking for the next best lip product. I'm in love with gloss, but was taken aback when I discovered this new innovation in a lip product! These new gems by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics called Lip Tar, are what a lip product is suppose to be! With the coverage of a lipstick and the application of a gloss, these pigmented colors, created the perfect satin finish!

I arrived to the home to start makeup, and my

No more unexpected peeks of your undergarments, and no more tugging and pulling.Hip-T solves those problems by being extra coverage for under your shirts, and as a cute layering piece. I have one in black and white, and I love them! No

Okay, I have never been one for shaving. First, it takes too long, and second,I never can manage a clean shave without nicks and cuts. It never fails. So, I had sworn off razors, and went other routes.Well, that was until I tried Gillette's Venus Embrace 5 blade razor. One word, Amazing. I will never try another razor. I couldn't believe how effortless it was. I had to look at the razor to see

Ladies if you are like me, I'm ready to ditch my boots, and slide in some sandals! But, with those sandals, there are the pedicures that are a must. But if you are like me, I absolutely despise those paper sandals that never stay on, or always fold under. It's a task just to keep them on, let alone walk. So save yourself the trouble, and get some Pedi Couture Sandals! That's right, these super
