TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BON BONS PALETTE REVIEW

Hi Glam-ettes!

Hope everyone had happy holidays and a great start to the new year!

Today I am excited to review Too Faced newest makeup addition:

I have actually been freelancing as a Makeup Artist for Too Faced at Macy's and Ulta, and when I learned about this launch I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

I was so happy when my husband purchased this palette for me for Christmas!

Chocolate Bon Bons palette

Its the 3rd release from the Chocolate Bar eyeshadow collection,preceding was the original Chocolate Bar,then Semi-Sweet.

I alternate these palettes everyday,they have been my favorite shadows next to Viseart for the last year.

First of all,

The packaging is gorgeous..it's PINK! 

Like all of Too Faced products,their presentation is so cute and girly.

Its smells like chocolate,it's infused with antioxidant rich Cocoa powder pigments which apply very smooth and creamy.

The shades are neutral with pops of color,making it great for everyday use.

It has quickly become my favorite palette.

I really like the new heart shaped pans,it adds an extra feminine flair!

I will soon do a Youtube video review swatching the shades.

It's $49, same pricing as the others.

It's well worth it in my opinion as it will last a long time with the pigmentation being so rich.

You can get the palette here.

What do you think about this new palette?

I had the honor of being chosen to work on one of Tampa's most sought after hair and makeup artist team;

She truly is a jack of all trades,with pure talent and ambition.

TAMPA BAY SWIM WEEK FASHION SHOW 2014 & VIP PARTY AT BUNNY'S MANSION!

Hi friends!

This was a crazy,fun & busy weekend for me!

I attended a VIP pre-party Friday for Tampa Bay Swim Week at Bunny's Mansion..who own's Bunny Couture Crystal Swimwear.

It was so much fun to network,meet new people and see old business colleagues..not to mention see the ultimate mansion designed in superb luxury!

They had open bar,snacks,and some gorgeous swimsuits on display.

I absolutely adore this industry-its fun and challenging at the same time.

On Saturday,I did makeup for the Swim Week Fashion Show alongside my old M.A.C trainer,my friend Natasha and about half a dozen of other hair stylists.

After we got the models all glamified,we got to enjoy the show,and see the fruits of our labor.

The fashion show was held at the historic Safety Harbor Resort & Spa.

Here are some of the models I did makeup for..Eric Trotta took photos :)

PHOTO SHOOT FOR STRAPLESS FASHION AT DON VICENTE IN YBOR CITY

Hey lovelies!

I had an amazing photo shoot on location,working for Strapless Fashion.

They chose a gorgeous historic location,The Don Vicente Hotel in Ybor City/Tampa.

It was built in 1895,and when you walk in,it feels like you're transported back in time..mostly all original decor!

I wanted to share some behind the scenes photos.

I got to do a few different makeup looks,smokey and sultry,and then lots of pops of color.

It was such a fun time! 

We wanted the makeup to reflect their upcoming clothing collections.
