I got a Superstay in Infinite Petal

Have you checkout out the CVS flyer this week ? Ok, so CVS, has a Beauty Club that you can join for free. So I did. In doing so I got 10% off my purchase! But this week they also have $3 bucks off any beauty purchase of $10 or more! So I headed on down to make my purchases, due to the fact that I also saw Maybelline was buy one get one 50% off! You know me and my color stay lip sticks! I got a great one this time with a bit of a purple hue to it! I have been saving the Maybelline Coupons from the Sunday paper coupons. I had $1.00 off any lip stick AND 3.00 off ANY One by One Mascara! All combined I saved a total of around $9.00 on my purchases! Would be a GREAT idea to head to CVS this week for some great buys!

I met Angel of Angel Morton Photography on location at a Wedding I just did at Winterham Plantation during the beautiful Rice-Garner Wedding. I was blown away with her sincerity and professionalism, and also how quickly she had photos up from the Wedding! I always ask the photographers to please send a few for me, and she was right on top of that! I asked Angel if she would like to get together to talk "makeup" when she expressed to me that she has never had a makeover and would really love one! How could I resist?
I asked her to bring her camera and come on over!
Here is what she saw and her little makeover to follow.....

its me!

Being that it was a HOLIDAY Weekend, no coupons arrived! However, as I have looked closer this week, I got a few little gems in the mail. FIRST! JCPenny is running a $10.00 off coupon right on the FRONT of the flyer! IT STARTED yesterday and goes through the 30th! You can pick it up RIGHT at the store. NOW here is what i love about the JCPenny $10.00 off. You only need to spend $25.00. My first thought for a BRIDE on a BUDGET to be, is heading right to the Intimates section for a few new special under garments. Under (stuff) is EXPENSIVE, and this is a great time to get a few new little things for yourself! SECOND, I also got ANOTHER JCPENNY GIFT by mail! THIS one is $10.00 off $10 or more!! HECK, that's like getting something FREE! If you are a JCPENNY card holder this came to you as well. Handle this by just making two separate purchases while at the store! You will be be able to use both coupons (thats 20 bucks off!!!)

THIRD, this week Macy's is running their SPECIAL family and Friends 25% off coupons! Take advantage of using this on clearance or sale items! Your gonna save a bundle! Personally, I just got a new bedroom comforter set. The set was originally $480.00, it was on sale for around $220.00, I ended up getting it for $171.00. THAT'S ABOUT 65% off the original price!
 
Happy Shopping!

One rainy Saturday in Richmond VA, did not hold back any Brides! We were thrilled to be able to help one of them at the Jefferson on Saturday! Hair and Makeup among the beauty and splendor of one of Virgina's finest locations! We had a wonderful time with Danielle and her Bridal Party. I can't wait to get the photos back from her photographer! These are just a few from my camera!

Just starting to get her Dress together....

Then Sunday came and the rain dried up and flew away as we drove to Northern Virginia to prepare another Bride and her Bridal Party for her Wedding at the beautiful Glen Gardens in Fredericksburg Virginia!

Just getting an idea of Veil placement before the big ceremony!

Almost done!

I spent this past Saturday and Sunday heading over to Innsbrook in Richmond Virginia to prepare Sarah for the Miss Teen VA US pageant being held today in Richmond. Yesterday I created some beauty magic for hair and makeup for the Interview portion of her competition. Interview makeup should be natural and pretty. I wish I had my good camera but here is Sarah from my "camera" phone.. for Interview....

Today I headed back to make her over for the Stage portion of the pageant and brought along my Canon, so you could get a little 'behind the scenes' look at the making of a FBJ beauty queen! Stage makeup is heavier with lots more of everything. Its very enhanced with darker makeup and full eyelashes. I love doing stage makeup since its so much fun to dip my brushes into different hues. I thought I would use Graphite, black, and Swiss Chocolate in today's makeup with Sarah! The Swiss Chocolate from MAC pulls out the more of a Purple with Sarah's skin-exactly what I was going for with the Graphite mix. LOL!!! (fyi...these are all un-retouched photos.....)

Enjoy!

This a GREAT time to save on COVERGIRL Mascara.  Let me tell you! They have a new LASH Blast Mascara. Now, its not that I am so in LOVE with the LASH BLAST, but what i am in love with is that it comes in a variety of cool colors!! You don't ALWAYS need to use black!! Especially with my Brides, I tend to shy away from using black mascara. Often times with the suede's and milk chocolates I use in bridal makeup, black is too overpowering! I lean towards using a dark chocolate mascara (which is hard to find). Most of the companies make a "glam brown" -which is still black...and too much. I have a great little Waterproof, Milk Chocolate ( REAL HARD to find) Mascara from Avon, that is very nice and fitting for my Brides that don't like much mascara-and it looks amazing with the lighter tones of brown hues for Weddings. OK, let me get back to my Covergirl...you can pick this up with shades of DARK WINE(Burgundy) which looks AMAZING with Darker Chocolates and Creams with hues of purple, Dark Blues, which highlights Darker Eye Colors and Skin and of course Brown. SO KROGER has an E-Coupon for 3 bucks off, paired with the Covergirl $1.oo off coupon from this past Sunday and you have your self a COOL 4 bucks off to try a different color mascara! Yesterday I Got mine for a cool $2.69! ENJOY!

As the weekend comes to an end, I am a wee bit tired and ready for a good long slumber! But I will be having little dreams of an incredible weekend in the books! Joyce and I enjoyed working on Weddings Saturday and Sunday, one in Mechanicsville and one in Powhatan at the Mill at Fine Creek. Both Brides and Bridesmaids we amazing and we had so much fun! Here is a little sneak peak with "my camera" from today at The Mill at Fine Creek! BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

Looking for a GREAT product that is well worth the price? Last week I got a bottle of BED HEAD After Party. I started using it with my flyaways in my hair after straightening it, using the product for a smoothing cream and it was an INSTANT LOVE. I have since used it on Wedding updos and styles and even smells good to boot. Its easy to use and smooths for silky, healthy looking hair. Its my favorite hair product right now! Here is the FUN PART! I was in GREAT Clips with my kids getting their hair cut and the woman told me that GREAT CLIPS always has BED HEAD products 2 for $20! So check with your local Great Clips-that's a GREAT price!
