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 confess....I am a nail biter and picker! I go though phases and do a good job when I set my mind to growing nails! I am on a 'good' phase right now and am enjoying growing my nails and having pretty hands with pretty polish! Thing is, I can not seem to get the polish to stay on my nails for any length of time past about 2 hours! We all know that it is hard to get polish to stay on our natural nails. I was in Sallys Beauty Supply this Friday to pick up a few things and noticed that if I bought two eyelash set s(which i needed anyway for my upcoming Weddings) that I got a polish FREE! You know me...all about the deals!
So I headed over to China Glaze to pick my color choice. Instead of a ravishing Red, or beautiful purple I chose to try a Base coat. Best choice I could have made! WOW! I put the base coat on Friday night. My polish has lasted through two weddings, and a Mothers day Picnic! I am super excited about my new find and would highly recommend!

Two weeks ago I got an email from Halen wondering if I could help her with Makeup for her engagement photos! So fun! I have not had the opportunity to work with too many engagement photos yet! She styled her own hair and I took care of the makeup! She is such a sweet heart and as you can see her photos are filled with love and are just beautiful! Shout out to James Linkowitz for getting me photos so quickly!

THANKS LIZ!

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!

Hair by Faces by Joy

 I would say 50% of brides that come into visit me for a consultation 'long' to have 'longer' hair. Many would like to just add volume to their existing do!  Coming from a background in pageantry, I can tell you that I have worn multiple types of hair pieces to make my hair appear longer, thinker, curler, and so forth. Its a trick of the trade! I am excited to let Brides know that I have decided to carry hair pieces in my studio so that they may try a few different hair pieces when they come in for consults. I am able to match hair color and order them for you according to what you are looking for! Tons of fun!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

My Glam Studio is a GREAT place to come to try your hair and makeup (a bridal consult), or get bridal makeup done before a portrait! Its also a great place to come and learn makeup application! It's located in Hanover Virginia and is convienant to Lewis Ginter and only 20 Minutes from Maymont park. Both popular portrait locations!
The Glam studio is dressed up in a vintage, shabby Chic style, but this past week I gave her an upgrade STRAIGHT from Hollywood!
I found the PREFECT mirror while searching the internet! Its from a company called Vanity Girl! Now when clients come in they can enjoy a little "Hollywood flair". So the seat is ready right in front of the new mirror! The Glam Studio is waiting for YOU!
