New Products: Blush & Bronzer from ICING!!!

Hey!!!

So I went browsing through the mall where I worked at, and found out that Icing Accessories now sells a line of makeup products that include eye shadow palettes, blushes, bronzers, nail polishes, false lashes, etc.

So I picked up two products, a new blush and a bronzer. BLUSH is a MUST!!! It definitely brings life to the face. Both products were under $8 each. Check them out below:

(Left to Right): Shimmering Bronzer & Blush

The above picture is me wearing both the bronzer and the blush. Love It!!!

Yellow & Naturals: Another Queen of Blending Inspired Look

Gold, Silver & Black: Queen of Blending Inspired

Hey!!!! I feel so bad, I've been neglecting my blog like crazy. But I am definitely back!!! My work schedule has me busy! But I went out tonight and wore a black romper, and decided to do another Queen of Blending inspired look. I loved the way this came out! It was super easy! To create this look, I used my 120 Manly Palette (for the silver and black) and Still Glamorus pigment in Rich Girl (for the gold). I also applied Ardell Lashes #117 in Black to create more drama to the look. ENJOY!!!

MUA At Work

Hey!!!!

So while I'm at work I tend to take pics of my surroundings, lol. so here are three pics of where I work as a Makeup Artist. I love my job. Its great to meet new people and make them look beautiful! If you all don't know, I work at Mica Bella Cosmetics Makeup Bar in a local mall in Charlotte, NC!

SN: I am seriously considering opening up a makeup bar in downtown Charlotte. It will be a makeup lounge/bar. I think this city needs it!!! I'm going to keep expanding on that idea.
