Favorite Friday: Benefit Hervana Blush

It’s Friday (woot!)  and there’s not a better time to dedicate this post to my favorite product of the week. Here is my fav for this Friday…

.

.Benefit Cosmetics Blush in Hervana

.

I was recently given this product to try from one of my best friends who happens to work for Benefit Cosmetics. I don’t get to visit her often, but when I do she usually has a few goodies for me! She told me I would love this product & it would look great with my skin tone. I knew she was right from the moment I saw the colors. I have a naturally pink undertone to my skin, so using a pink blush isn’t flattering on me. This happens to be a cool-toned blush and it has all the right colors to complement my fair to medium skin tone. It consists of four separate shades–Lucky Shell, Heavenly Rose, Divine Peach and Berry Delight. The best way to describe it would be a rose-berry swirl with subtle, light shimmer.  This blush works great when I’m at my fairest and even when I have a bit more color than usual.  I love that Benefit has included a brush inside the packaging as well. Typically I don’t use the brushes that already come with a product (I tend to prefer my own brushes), but this brush actually works so well that I don’t even have to use my own blush brush. If you’re looking for a subtle blush with a wonderful flush of color, I think you would really enjoy Hervana.  You can check it out here. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

My Favorite Bridal Looks of Spring & Summer 2012

In your wedding photos you want to look classically beautiful. Following the seasons trend might be for some, but for most brides when it comes to wedding photos you want to look timeless. Looking back in 20 years at bright purple eyeshadow or neon lips might make you wish you had chosen more of a classic look rather than living in the moment.  Whatever look you choose, my goal is to help make you look picture-perfect on your wedding day. Here is a compilation of some of my favorite bridal looks this season:

Kim Kardashian opted for  neutral eyes, luminous skin, muted lip, and wispy lashes.

.

For a little more color; this is a romantic, whimsical look that incorporates pastels on the lips & eyes.

.

.

This look on Keira Knightley looks stunning with gold shadow, black liner, and a nude apricot lip.

.

.

This elegant look has  smokey liner on top and bottom, bold lashes, peach cheeks, and a pinky-peach lip.

.

.

This look focuses on luminous skin with a smokey, neutral eye.

.

.

Carrie Underwood’s focus is on the eyes with big bold lashes and a neutral lip.

..

Emma Stone has a metallic eye with sleek, black liner and a pink lip.

.

.Which bridal look would you choose?

Spring Brides

I’ve had the pleasure of working with some gorgeous brides this Spring, one of which is a dear friend of mine. The wedding was a beach wedding in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was a such a beautiful wedding spent with amazing friends, in such a gorgeous setting. It was an honor to get to do her makeup for her special day. Here is a peek of  her wedding & what else I’ve been up to this Spring.

Such a stunning bride.

True love.

So beautiful! She was such a pleasure to work with!
