Lovely Joann!

Finally! After nearly two months of scheduling and rescheduling due to Mother Nature raining on our parade, bride-to-be Joann and I were able to meet and create engagement photo shoot magic together!

As I entered the elevator in her apartment building, I ran into her beautiful sister! Shortly after hanging with both girls, we realized our similar obsession with skin care products. Naturally, I introduced them to my fave, Skyn Iceland!

Anyway... Here are some of the photos from the engagement session courtesy of the brilliant photographer, Ellie!

Joann told me that her makeup lasted the whole evening... I wasn't surprised because I used one of the Laura Mercier primers under her foundation! The mineral one to be exact... It's fabulous!

It was so great to finally meet Joann in person... I can't wait to see her again in a couple weeks to do her makeup on her very special wedding day!!!

Mischa Mischa... Mischa Barton

I am currently working on a new reality show for VH1 which recently gave me the distinct pleasure of meeting Miss Mischa Barton.  She was such a sweet heart and super easy to work with... not to mention beautiful!

Here are a few shots I found of her after I had done her hair and makeup... These were all taken by paparazzi in New York City during Fashion Week.

GREAT REVIEWS!!!

I can't wait to work with her again!

I am working with Valerie on another show for Paradise Bikini that is happening tomorrow evening. The sexy swim suit models will be walking on the roof top of Sky Room in Times Square.  The show will be sponsored by Captain Morgan Rum! This means... Open rum bar from 7-8pm! Free admission! Come support my girl, Valerie!

Stressed skin? LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!!

I believe that there are multiple products in this line for EVERYONE! My clients ask for recommendations on skin care all the time.  This line is ALWAYS a go-to suggestion for me... Skyn Iceland. It used to be more prevalent in Sephora stores, but it seems that it's easier to purchase through their website these days.

Skyn Iceland is all about de-stressing your skin (in a no parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, petroleum, phthalates, formaldehyde or paraffin sort of way).  Take a look at the chart they've created, as it should definitely shed some light to whatever skin issues you're having today, this month, year, lifetime, etc.

CHART, FOOL!

A few of the products in this line that I have been known to go ga-ga for are the Glacial Cleansing Cloths (best makeup removing wipes I've ever used btw), the Glacial Face Wash (a little bit goes a long way AND it could also be used as shaving cream), and the Antidote Daily Lotion (makes my face feel as fresh as a tic tac... yes, really).

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you take a gander at the Skyn Iceland website ASAP.  I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would be disappointed in the products.  I can't wait to restock my supply!

Do you have any skin care questions? Ask away, comment below!

Do you have a favorite skin care line or product? Tell me about it!

FALSE ADVERTISING!!

THESE MASCARA COMMERCIALS KILL ME!!!! 

I just saw one that claims you don't need false eye lashes if you wear it... meanwhile ALL of the models so clearly HAVE FALSE LASHES ON!!!! AMAZING!!

Folks, here is the name of the game.  Don't go by the flashy commercials you see on TV.  If you're really looking for a good mascara, ask real people! My personal favorite is the newest from Laura Mercier, Full Blown Volume ($24). It's nourishing, very black, and doesn't clump!! I layer mine a TON and it makes my lashes look awesome.

What's your favorite mascara and why?
