Hi Bellas!

Last Friday I received a box of goodies from Milani Cosmetics.



I know what you will say!
WOW!!
Just exactly what I said when I got this package!

The friendly team at Milani is very generous to send me this awesome goodies to try-out. I am so overwhelmed I don't know which one to open first!



I have been a fan of the brand for quite sometime now. I have used some of their products on myself and keep some as staple on my kit. I received their recent collection for Spring/Summer 2012.

Here's the list of what they sent:
Powder Eyeshadow Palette (Paint, Impressionist)

Items arrived neatly packed fully protected with bubble wrap. The Milani Runway Eyes palette was bubble wrapped separately too. I just took them off for the purpose of this picture.

 Milani is available at your nearest drugstores and Target, also available online at www.milanicosmetics.com. Also, follow them on twitter @milanicosmetics and on Pinterest Milani Cosmetics, if you haven't yet.

 I am and will be taking pictures, do a swatches and tests, and of course post some looks using these goodies!
It's definitely PLAYTIME, and I'm taking in requests....LOL.

I joined the MakeupBee Contest, help me win!

Hi Ladies!

So I was browsing at the MakeupBee site and thinking of posting a look, then I saw a competition for a Chic Bridal Look sponsored by BFTE Cosmetics.

I submitted an entry and entitled it My Sweet Bride.

Gotta learn more! Assisting in Makeup for TV Commerical

Hello! :) I am blessed to be able to assist a fellow Makeup Artist Michelle Arcilla last Sunday morning for a TV commercial. She is a good friend of mine, and a good mentor too. 

Me and Michelle

It was my first time to be able to assist in a tv/film set. I have worked in print, bridal, fashions shows and event but have never experienced tv/film work. The location is a cozy home in Brentwood. I learned a lot and I am hoping to learn more in the future. 

Key MUA Michelle gave me chance to work on the actress ;)

Nice weather outside too.

There was pompoms in the set.. hahaha.

After  filming we got hungry and went straight to Seal Beach pier for some good food and drinks at The Hangout. Sunday is so much fun.

 Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I forgot to bring a camera so I just used my iphone. ;)

XOXO,
