mad men

I've been obsessed with Mad Men forever now.

It's not just the brilliant mid century styling that I love,

but the oppurtunity to watch something on TV

that is actually intelligent.

Besides, come on, Don Draper makes me swoon!

This Mad Men inspireed shoot with Tonya Joy Photography

gave me the chance to go full on "Joanie".

Ashlee, whom I call "Big Red" because she is the

only person I know that makes me feel short,

was the perfect red headed muse.

Her lips are in MAC's Chili matte lipstick,

her cheeks are MAC's Well Dressed blush,

and the eye liner is MAC's fluidline in Blacktrack.

She is so stunning and Tonya's images are perfection...

that's why this is only post one of two posts.

Too many good ones for just one measly post!

Enjoy!!!

bb cream

Have you heard all the BUZZ about

a new product called

BB Cream.

It stands for Beauty Balm and

it is a utilitarian's dream come true!

It color balances your skin,

hydrates (more than the usual tinted moisturizers),

has SPF, is tinted with medium/full coverage,

and some boast they also serve as a primer.

phew!

That's a lot of stuff in one little tube.

My favorite is

Smashbox's Camera Ready $40 at Sephora.

But, I did a little testing and I compared with

Garnier BB Cream $12 at Target.

(Check next to the specialty skin care not the makeup isle)

It is the perfect summer makeup for dewy

natural glowing skin.

russian red

Russian Red is the MAC lipstick I used on Jess

in this "Parisian" shoot with Tonya Joy Photography.

Jess is wearing some of my top all time favorites:

Fleur Power blush by MAC

Russian Red lips

Eternal Black eyeshadow Infallible by L'Oreal

MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack

and

The Messy High Bun

All these pictures were taken to promote Tonya's

upcoming Parisian themed photography workshop.

honeylust

Here to HAUNT your Black Friday

are the 2nd annual Ghost pictures.

This year we wanted "little" ghosts

to haunt the Carriage House

at our location in Corona at Lemonia Grove.

Honeylust

was the name of the MAC eyeshadow I used

to cast a shadow on these ghostly eyes.

I also mixed Vanilla Pigment into my Strobe Cream

and mixed it all into some foundation to make these

heavenly little creatures shine.

It was hard to make such adorable little kids

look spooky, but these kids were awesome

and the results prove it!

more to come....

Thanks to Kamee June Photography

and to all my little spooks :)
