BEAT THE HEAT!!
Beating the heat and humidity can be tough espeically when it comes to ensuring your makeup lasts throughout the day. Here are a few tips to help maintain your "Pretty Face" during the summer months:
1. Cleanse your face daily using a mild facial cleanser. It is important to exfoliate at least once a week to remove dry, dull skin. I personally use St. Ives Apricot Scrub, I'm in love with it. For people with normal to oily skin I recommend you use a pore refiner or reducer to help reduce excess oils in the t-zone area. The pore refiner/reducer can be found at your local drug store for under $10. The pore refiner/reducer helps give you a more smooth, refined complexion. For people with dry skin, I recommend cleansing with Aveeno's Moisturizer Bar, which can be found at your local drug store for under $5. For all skin types moisturizing is very important, it helps proctect your face from the harsh elements. For the summer, I use a light weight moisturizer with SPF 15 to help protect my face from the elements as well as to prevent sunburn.
2. Wearing heavy makeup in the heat and humidity can be very uncomfortable. I would avoid wearing cream and liquid foundations because the outdoor heat and high body temperatures can cause your makeup to melt. If you prefer wearing cream and liquid foundations, I would apply it very lightly. Another option is to wear a pressed powder. This provides a more lightweight feel with medium coverage. Also, try using a pencil concealer instead of the regular cream or stick. This might not provide you with as much coverage as a liquid or cream, but it will ensure that your makeup lasts throughout the day. I always finish up my look with Fix Plus aka Fix + by MAC.
**A FRIENDLY SKINCARE TIP** Bacteria and heat go hand in hand...try to avoid touching your face with your hands because your hands harbor soooo much bacteria. Also, keep your cell phone screen and surface clean. I'm constantly wiping my screen because after I use my phone it has makeup residue and natural oils from my face. Keeping your face clean can help prevent problem breakouts.

This is my personal opinion, facts I have gathered from my knowledge and research as a makeup artist.

Peacocky...MAC Cosmetics Spring Collection
Hello Beauties...
The Peacocky collection is here!!! It is definitely a must have for myself...it's very dramatic and edgy. The colors are so vibrant and bold. This collection includes Mega Metal Shadows which come in 15 different shades and Kissable Lipcolours which come in 12 shades. I haven't decided which eyeshadow shades I'm going to purchase but I will say that I do have my eye on Top of the Posh, Mating Call, Odalisque and Spectacle of Yourself. These shadows are very creaming and are great for blending and an added extra are the crease resistance (def. a plus).
Here are swatches of the shades I mentioned above:
Top of the Posh

The kissable lipcolours are amazing. The shade choices are out of this world. These glosses glide on smoothly with a rich, highly pigmented finish. I have my eye on a few of these also, but I absolutely, positively MUST HAVE Peacocky. Here are swatches of the lip colors that are on my "must have" list.
Peacocky
Enchantee
Vanity Fair
I'm all for bold, vibrant, bright, edgy, highly pigemented colors. This collection definitely gives me all of that and more. If you are into neutral colors, don't be discouraged. There are several in this collection as well. If you enjoyed these colors then feel free to check out the whole collection here The Peacocky Collection. Thanks for visiting my blog, please subscribe. Smooches!!!

M.A.C. Style Session
So today I went to my first M.A.C. Style Session, I was uber excited about this event seeing as though I'd heard about them for years but never experienced it. All week I've been looking forward to it and finally the day had come. I pictured this to be something that would give me insight on the new products, something to show me something new as far as application, etc.
So I get there and check in, I'm given a cute little M.A.C. notebook filled with face sketchs and note pages along with a cute little M.A.C. pencil and a lanyard.
The session starts, we're broken off into three groups and taken to our stations. The way it works is there will be three stations. Each station has a different inspired look. For instance todays session included looks inspired by Tokyo, London and Los Angeles. Basically, all that they did was take a model from each group for each look and do the inspired look on that model. They did give you step by step instructions on what they did as well as which product and brush they were using as they went along. In my opinion, this event would be great for a newbie, someone who is just getting into make-up. There were opportunities to try products and ask questions which I thought was good. I love trying new products.
There were two products that were new to me, which I'm going to list:
First off, we have the new Digi Dazzle collection, it was love at first sight when I seen "Smash Hit".

This color looks like a goldish glittery color, but it goes on very glittery with a pinkish purple tint. I'm in love!!
Secondly, there is another product that I fell in love with...it's called Venomous Villians Magically Cool Liquid Powder of course from the Venomous Villian Collection.
It's composed of 70% water. It's something you would use after you've completed your makeup application. It's often compared to the Fix Plus. The feeling of this powder gliding on your face with the right brush would feel like heaven.
I'm absolutely in love with both of these products. I would highly recommend the Cool Liquid Powder as a finishing powder because it gives you a natural, smooth, airbrushed look. The Digi Dazzle "Smash Hit" is just an added extra that will give your look that extra pop. It'll be great for the holidays.
Hope this helps, be on the look out for my next post introducing the new M.A.C. Spring collection.
