Changes
After six weeks in Hawaii, I have returned to the mainland. I’ve swapped the humid air and beautiful beaches for oven degree weather, traffic, and lots of smog. Don’t get me wrong, I love California, but after spending over a month in paradise it’s hard to come back to reality.
The blazing sun wasn’t the only thing that greeted me when I got back. Instead I’ve...

Illamasqua: Zygomatic Cream Blush
Zygomatic has been on my wish list for quite some time now. I think Illamasqua makes the best cream blushes on the market, and I love their formulation. Every time Sephora has a VIB sale I always think “Hey! I need to pick up that one blush with the crazy name.”
Speaking of crazy names, do you even know what zygomatic means? It’s the scientific name of the cheekbone. I...

March Favorites
1. Laura Mercier Foundation Primers ($32): No matter what type of skin you have, you will find the perfect primer for it in the LM range.

I love all products from this brand. Have you noticed?

Today was my last day at the nuclear pharmacy and I couldn’t be any happier. I was so ready for that nightmare to be over. So far I’ve done 5 different rotations and I only have one more to go before graduation. The end is so near, I can feel it!
I’ll be heading to Hawaii to do my last rotation starting on Monday, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s a 6 week...

The Makeup Show LA 2013
Earlier this month my BFF and I made our way to the biggest event of the year. If you’re into makeup, that is.
For those of you who don’t know what The Makeup Show is, it’s an expo for makeup artists or anyone else in the industry. I attended the show last year and I came home already looking forward to the next year’s show. I loved it so much!
The Makeup Show was...

After talking to my preceptor and telling her that I would do anything to earn an A in the rotation she tells me:
“No offense to you, but sometimes in life you’re going to fail. Just because you do everything right doesn’t mean you’ll always get what you want.”
It took every single fiber in my being to keep my mouth shut. And when I think about that moment I remind...

Bridal Glamour Shoot
Remember this gorgeous bride? I had the pleasure to do Stephanie’s makeup on her wedding day last summer. Recently a very talented photographer and I teamed up to do a bridal glamour session, and Stephanie (who is also in pharmacy school with me) quickly joined in. For her makeup, I created a sexy smokey eye complete with false lashes. I kept her skin radiant, added some contouring on the...
