Hello bloggers and beauty lovers! It is officially the season of the witch and I couldn't be more excited. This past weekend two of my close friends made a lifelong commitment to each other in an absolutely beautiful ceremony that took place in Tiverton Rhode Island. Giving you another google search moment...... Historically cute right?!
I had the honor of being one of the "Lady Maids" in this wedding and was also able to gain beauty experience. I took on the task of doing all the fellow lady maid's makeup for the day of the wedding. This was amazing for me because it gave me an opportunity to experiment with color on more fair skin tones. Knowing the theme and colors before hand was most helpful too. I was so painstakingly nervous but you don't get better at what you love by playing it safe. I had to trust myself and what I have learned over my 20+ years of being a makeup addict. I knew that makeup would be intimidating for some and the proof had to be in the pudding. I found myself shielding the mirror until I was done lol. All of them told me they felt beautiful at some point during the evening and they most certainly were. The whole night was just surrounded by a feeling of unconditional love and definitely made this mermaid a little watery eyed. Lashes stayed on though...;)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit: That Glow
 |
| Retails for $40 |
 |
| Glowing from within even in low light. This stuff is BOMB! |
Anastasia Beverly Hills makeup is a cruelty free company that pumps out quality!! This glow kit is amazing and was the clutch hitter this weekend when I made up the lady maids! I think that it gave all of them a fairy like glow which went perfectly with the flow of the evening. It is extremely soft without giving too much kick back. It is very pigmented without being too creamy of a texture. You get a lot of product in this kit and is definitely worth the investment. There is a color to go with whatever look. Some of the other glow kits I don't think are as versatile as this one (just my opinion).
Most importantly: This product leaves a glowing appearance that shines from within. It looks like natural candlelight has kissed your face. It is so gradient and blends in with your makeup (or bare skin) flawlessly. I suggest using a fan or petite tapered brush for applying this. Using a light hand is important. To apply, dust over the high planes of your cheekbones in small wide circles. If you want to glow for the gods then sweep the highlighter down the slope of your nose and across the cupids bow of your lips.
This month: October is by far the best month of the year! Fall fashion is in full gear, everything is pumpkin flavored and more bold makeup looks are popping up on all forms of media. I have a lot of concerts and events coming up this month and I can't wait to experiment with some dramatic rocker looks. I will have reviews and perhaps walk through tutorials on my blog! Thanks for reading. I am not ready for Monday at all. I feel like I have been floating on a cloud all weekend and I am not ready to come back down yet! Oh well the beat goes on...xoxo
