What the heck is going on...

Well hello there few yet faithful followers!! I know that I have been gone away from here for a little while now but I promise it is all for good reasons. I have some amazing news to share so lets get started…

First and for most I would like to thank all the people of this amazing organization the I have been working with, RAW: natural born artists, and the amazing Glaminar sister who kindly invited me to be her sidekick for a night, the lovely miss Sarrahh Blank.


What is RAW? It is an independent arts organization that hand selects and spotlights independent creatives in the visual arts, film, fashion, music, hair & makeup artistry, models, photography and performing art so that they might be seen, heard and loved.*

RAW’s mission is to provide up-and-coming artists of all creative realms, when others might not, with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity. RAW educates, connects and exposes emerging artists in 17 artistic communities nationwide.*

Can you say amazing!! Yeah I think so!

So, after being a sidekick, which I will gladly do again and again with Sarrahh, and after a last minute booking to be lead makeup artist for a second RAW showcase (thanks again to Sarrahh for this) I am now officially a part of RAW and will soon be a featured artist on their website.

I have been booked for both a third and forth showcase with RAW in the next few weeks. I am beyond excited about this. It seems like what I have had a passion for for so long is finally starting to bloom. I knew the seed of creativity was planted in me long ago but seeing it bloom into reality is truly amazing. And just as Oprah always quoted Glinda the Good Witch of Oz, I will too: “You always had the power”


Here are some amazing links to check out:

MUA Sarrahh Blank-the one who helped me discover RAW. Check her out here.
MUA Rey-another talented artist who is now part of RAW. Check her out here. You can read her blog here.
MUA JennyB-who has been Sarrahh’s sidekick, is now a part of RAW. Check her out here. You can read her blog here.
MUA Agent Jacqueline- another RAW artist. Check her out here.

For the Love of Children



 i adore Gwen Stefani. i have since my brother introduced me into all the wonders of No Doubt in their early days. what i have come to love most about her now is not only her amazing music and fabulous sense of style but all the other wonderful things that she does. i am a huge fan of hers and i think what she is doing for Japan is flippin' amazing!!!

Gwen Stefani has already personally donated $1,000,000 to Save the Children's Japan relief fund!!! and now she has created ways for her fans like you and i to join in her efforts to help save the children of Japan.

"i have been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the japanese people and their culture. the disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and i want to do anything i can to help. i would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years." - Gwen Stefani

Gwen has designed a Harajuku Lovers shirt specifically for Japan and will soon be hosting an auction where you can bid to win some fabulous stuff!!

Lets start with the HL shirt!!



This is the official photo advertisement for the HL shirt




so the photo tells you all the details of how much this shirt means and most importantly is that 100% of the net proceeds go to helping Japan. even more exciting is that if you choose to purchase this shirt it is limited edition and it will not be sold in stores. here is a close look at the shirt...



this is a super cute shirt! the shirt is selling for $40.00US on the No Doubt website. when you purchase the shirt you have the option to donate a little extra if you'd like. again the net proceeds all go to Save the Children's Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund. ladies please keep in mind that this a Juniors size shirt NOT a womens size shirt. please keep this in mind when ordering your shirts. i ordered my shirt not only to donate to Japan but to have a nice memory of my small contribution in effort to help save the children of Japan.

in addition to the shirt Gwen is hosting an auction!! for those who are financially capable to make a more substantial donation, this auction is a great way to show Japan how much you care :) here is the official photo advertisement for the auction. you can go to the No Doubt website to sign up for the auction and updates about it.





for the love of Japan, all things Harajuku and Gwen Stefani...lets all do our best to donate no matter how big or small the amount.

XOXO,
cindy

ORIGINS Review

OMG!! Can i say that my skin is in heaven!!! i was having some funkyness going on on my face a few months back and nothing was working until i found this stuff. i had heard about ORIGINS in the past but never actually stopped by to try it because my trusting Mary Kay products always got the job done.
A short history on what i was actually experiencing: i have combination skin, meaning normal to dry on most of my face with an oily T-Zone. i had started experiencing dryness (more than usual) in small spots on my cheeks, my right eyelid was dry and the skin under my eyebrows was also dry...like dandruff..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! CAN YOU SAY WEIRD!!!!
how does one eyelid get dry and how in the heck do i justify buying a bottle of head and shoulders for my eyebrow dandruff??? well you dont! You go out and buy some of this ORIGINS stuff. this weird weather here in SoCal sure did kick the moisture out of my skin but this stuff showed the weather who was boss. LOL.

a little bit about the brand and why it is soooo amazing:
(this info was taken directly from the Oigins website.)

The Origins Mission:
to create high-performance natural skincare that is powered by nature and proven by science

Origins Purity;
products are formulated with natural and certified organic ingredients and 100% natural essential oils. and formulated without parabens, phthalates propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA and animal ingredients. we manufacture using a combination of renewable resources, wind energy and earth-friendly practices.

On one of the bottles it even said that they do not test on animals rather they use a volunteer panel to try out their products...how awesome is that!?!!

here are the products i have used and have fallen completely in love with:




Checks & Balances- frothy face wash
5fl. oz $18.50US
This face wash is amazing!! it is a thick consistency face wash which means that you do not need much once you start to lather with water. this face wash is formulated with broad leaf kelp extract which discourages excess oil production and wheat protein which balances and protects dry prone zones. this is perfect for combination skin. the way to use it is to start with a small amount and lather with warm water. if you need more face wash feel free to use what you feel is right. Origins calls it a frothy face wash and i would say that is very accurate. at first sight i thought that the water would just dissolve the small amount face wash i had on the tips of my fingers but it didnt. the lather is so wonderful. after playing with the right amount of face wash with the right amount of water i have worked up a lather much like shaving creamy without the heaviness. the smell of the wash is pleasent. it smells minty but not overpowering. after rinsing it off, your face feels brand new. it does not feel too dry nor does it feel tight. after the first wash i noticed a difference compaired to my old face wash. after using the Origins face wash my skin tone appeared more even and without as much redness. i use this as both my morning and night face wash...gotta love a 2-in-1... overall an awesome product and for the price you cant complain. if used right, this will last you quite some time.

A Perfect World- antioxident moisturizer with white tea
1.7oz $39.50US
this is another product where a little goes a long way. this moisturizer is mostly for those with dry skin. it is formulated with white tea which helps intercept free radical damage before is causes early signs of aging and it keeps the skin looking younger longer. i had a few mixed emotions about this when i tried it out at the Origins counter at my local Macy's. i wasnt to fond of the smell. although it doesnt smell bad; it has a mild citrusy scent. i am more of a mint or sweet scented kinda gal. the good thing is that its not going to make you smell like oranges all day long. another thing that i wasnt too sure about was the consistency and feel after it was applied. i loved that it was thick but didnt leave the skin feeling heavy at all. the feel of it after it was applied i thought would be oily because my skin was a little shiny at first. however once it set into the skin it left a nice glow with enough moisture for the day without looking greasy. i did notice that i had to wait just a few more minutes for it to settle into the skin before applying make up compared to my old moisturizer but the pay off was more than amazing. my foundation went on much smoother and my imperfections were hardly noticeable. after using the product for a week i must say i love it and my first impressions were completely off of what this product had to offer. i used this product in the morning daily and every other night. overall the quality of this product is amazing! and it really did help after the 2nd day with my dry eyelid and dry spots on my face. the only downer is the price. although you literally only need very little to fully moisturize your face paying nearly $40 is a bit high. however, price aside, i do highly recommend this product and i will more than likely purchase it again.

Drink Up Intensive- overnight mask to quench skin's thirst
3.4fl. oz $21.00US
i have never been a big fan of face masks, especially overnight ones, because i hated the whole concept of something drying hard on my face and making a mess. i know...pretty lame...but its true. not to mention i havent tried many face masks to say i have like one more than the others in particular. when i was explaining to the lady at the Origins counter what i was experiencing she immediately guided me to the face wash and moisturizer. then she mentioned that she had a mask with a similar feel to my night time moisturizer i was previously using that i might like for an extra ooumphh of moisture for my skin. i had her show me this mask that i didnt believe was a mask if it felt like my old night moisturizer. my old night time moisturizer was clear, light weight and left the skin feeling...well...moisturized all night. it never dried, got hard or made a mess. how could a mask do something like that if its a mask?? well gee was i wrong. she told me that i would love it and again she was right. this mask is formulated with apricot kernel oil which quenches compromised skin and avocado oil and mango butter which Origins says builds a reservoir of moisture for tomorrow, and on top of that it has japanese seaweed to prevent future moisture loss. believe it or not a lot happens at night time when we are asleep. for those that have used night cremes or moisturizers and wake up feeling like you never put anything on the night before...thats because of dehydration. this mask is the solution. the sweet smell of mango is also a plesent smell to fall asleep to. once you have applied it all over your face you might feel a little sticky in some areas like the eyelids and around the nose but dont worry. it will soon make its way down to a dewy very moisturized skin feel; but not uncomfortable. it will not make a mess all over your pillows at night and it doesnt make you itch(from feeling something on your face). in the morning when you wake up your skin feels just as dewy and moisturized. when you wake up simply rinse your face with warm water and you will feel the mask coming off and start your day all over with the frothy face wash. i use this mask every other night (the other nights i use the moisturizer) after i wash my face with the frothy stuff and call it night from there. the price is right, the quality is great...overall amazing. i highly recommend this and will buy this again.

so there you have it. my long review on my new Origins products. i can honestly say that i love them all. for those of you who are a little more conscious of their budget you might want to consider something less expensive(stay tuned for some at home remedies that are super cheap) or look at this purchase as one that will give you better results for your money. i must admit i was a little hesitant to pay the price for these products and even after i did, i left the Origins counter hoping that it was money well spent. turns out that it was more than just money well spent. for me who has suffered from dry sensitive skin finding a good product that works as fast as this does and as well as it does the price was no longer a huge factor.

well i am off to bed with the scent of my mango mask

WOW! WOW! Wednesday

in the world of make up artistry we all know we are always on the constant buy. as an MUA you always wanna make sure you have the latest and greatest to offer your clients; and for your own success you must always have the essentials.

that being said we all know that always having to buy new things or restocking on old favorites can nonetheless get pricey. thankfully, our most trusted cosmetic companies offer pro artist memberships. yeah i know....ubber exciting!! what is even more exciting is that for the "newbie" MUA's (myself included) is that we dont need to have a gazillion years of experience under our brush belt.

keeping all that in mind i started my hunt for all the pro memberships i could get my hands on. here are some of the amazing things i found out about pro memberships (for those who dont know too much about them):
  • you can get discounts from 10%-40% (some depend on your level of expertise)
  • you get the latest info on whats going on in the industry (such as newsletters, articles, etc.)
  • you generally get to get your hands on the newest products before the general public
i could go on and on about how wonderful these memberships are and why you need to go out there and get your hands on them. please know that you dont have to be solely a MUA in order to get them. most pro memberships also offer their discount to other professions that are related such as but not limited to:
  • photographers
  • aestheticians
  • models
  • cosmetologists
  • hairstylists
  • nail technicians
  • performers
  • fashion stylists/designers
  • students
so you cant wait to get your hands on these...well....good because here is the info on the pro memberships i have applied for and you should too!!!

****special note to all my GlamSisters- your KJ Glaminar pro certification is a form of professional criteria that you can use for these membership applications. i have not encountered any issues thus far using mine.****

I have made the names of the cosmetic companies links so that you can easily start applying...ok ok lets get started:
  1. MAC Pro (this was my first ever pro card...YAY!!!) all you need to do is download the application, fill it out and mail it back with two pieces of professional criteria and a photo ID. the cost: $35US and $45CDN annually. the discount: 40%
  2. Dinair on the home page look under the professionals tab and click on the pro card apply now link. fill out the application online or download it. if you do it online all you have to do is fill it out and click submit. they will email you with the rest of the info that your need to provide. if you download it, print it out, fill it out and mail it in with a copy of your photo ID and two pieces of professional criteria. the cost: $25US annually. the discount: 20-30%
  3. Smashbox at the bottom of the page click on the smashbox pro link. download the application, print it out, fill it out and email or fax it back to smashbox with a copy of your photo ID and 2 pieces of professional criteria. the cost: none listed on application. the discount: 20-40%
  4. Senna Cosmetics this one is a little tricky. i could not find their application on their website but i know that they do offer a pro membership. i got my application at TMUS is LA this past weekend. i also dont know if there is a cost or what the discount is. however, i did get a chance to see their make up artists work on people at TMUS and i did get to swatch their product even though i did not purchase any and the color pay off on their shadows are great and the feeling of their foundations is amazing. i encourage you to do your own research on their site and to contact them if you would like to get an application. maybe they can send you one in the mail of via email. their number 800-537-3662.
  5. Stila <----click there and start filling out your application. it only takes a few minutes. when your are done, allow 4-6 weeks for processing. you may need to provide additional info at a later date. the cost: none listed on the site. the discount: 20-40%
  6. The Powder Group when you visit their site click on the little box that says TPG Pro Membership. there you will see all that they offer and let me just say its super amazing. this is why i saved it for last. this website will keep you up to date on the latest news of the industry, give you automatic entry to some of the harder to get pro memberships, exclusive offers on special events and they will even give you a spot on their site where other people, professional or clients, can contact you for work. its like advertisement for your sevices. not only that but you can also see what everyone else offers so if you are looking for models for work just look for one in your state. yup thats right...they have even made it easier for you to find people near you. there is so much more to say about them but i will let you find some more surprises for yourself. the cost: $125US and $65US for students annually. the discount: varies. i know its the most expensive of them all but i think its sooo worth it. so go check out their website and see what you think.
WOW!!

well my friends that is all i have to offer for now. if you know of any other great deals or programs please feel free to post them in the comments section below.

much love and wows...your cindy

An added lil goody

so i just finished posting my long review, yeah i guess you can call it that, on all the palettes that i got at the end of last year but i forgot to mention a lil something special. well...i dont know if its really special but its actually kinda cool hahahahaha. I was at my local CVS pharmacy for the gazillionth time this year (because i have been extremely sick) when i happened to start browsing around in the cosmetics section which happens to be the aisle the pick up line of the pharmacy section follows. I know right??? totally awesome. What else would a make up artist want to look at while standing in line at the pharmacy? Well as i was checking out the newest shades of lipstick by L'Oreal and Maybelline and all the other drug store brands as well as picking up a tube of mascara, i already forgot which kind hahahaha. i finally made my way to the front register to pay for a few other things when i saw this little bit of joy sitting right on the counter at the register i was checking out.

CVS has one of those rewards card called the ExtraCare card that you use everytime you shop and you accumulate what they call "extrabucks." Sometimes they come in a form of a certain dollar amount off of your next purchase of a certain amount or coupons for specific things such as shampoo, conditioner, vitamins etc. Normally they are coupons to something you buy often or have bought in the past. Well now they have what is called the beautyclub. There is a little certificate you pull off the stack and have your cashier scan it when you check out and the beauty club benefits are added automatically to your ExtraCare card. If you dont have an ExtraCare card just sign up for one, its free and you get some good coupons the more you use it.

So what exactly are the benefits of the beautyclub you may ask....well let me share:

Recieve 10% off beauty shopping pass when you enroll
Get $5 ExtraBucks everytime you spend $50 on beauty purchases
Get $3 ExtraBucks on your birthday

Its not much but its a little perk for when you are stocking up on your drug store brand make up. Some of my favorites are L'Oreal and Maybelline. Not to mention they also sell (at my local CVS and maybe others) the Ardell false lashes and the DUO lash adhesive. Now you see spending those $50 isnt gonna be too hard to do and the perk is you will get those extra 5 bucks everytime you do. So make it over to your local CVS, if you have one, and sign up for your ExtraCare card and add the beautyclub to it so you can start earning.

For the love of drug store brand make up and rewards.....your cindy

Well isn't it about time!!!!

So I am finally back. I started this blog with every intention of keeping up with it but I didnt exactly plan on being sick the first 20 some odd days of the year. Thankfully after some antibiotics and some much needed rest I am now starting to feel a lil better. So here are the palettes I got that I wanted to introduce to you.


Stila Color Wheel
 The Stila Color Wheel has an awesome assortment of colors to work with including matte and shimmer eyeshadows. It comes packed with some good neutral/nude colors for an everyday look, great highlighting colors and some fun blues and pinky-peaches to add a pop of color to any look. This palette even comes with a little book that shows some of their most popular looks created with using only the Color Wheel Palette. The Color Wheel comes packed in a sturdy acrylic snap shut case that is good for traveling. Its clear from cover is great for easy viewing of what colors are available.



Enchanted Glamour by Too Faced
 You cannot go wrong with purchasing the Enchanted Glamour Palette by Too Faced. This palette come filled with 15 eyeshadows (matte, shimmer, frost finishes) along with a tube of their Shadow Insurance and a beautiful lip gloss: Glamour Gloss volumizing lip gloss in Pillow Talk (nude/peachy color). Oh and i must not forget. The first surprises you get when you open the box is not only the beautiful 3D pixies but a bronzer in Snow Bunny, a blush in La Vie en Rose and 3 beauty cards that each have a popular look using the  Enchanted Glamour Palette. It is packed in very sturdy package that can be easy travel with even when its taken out of the box. I saved my box and its great even when storing them away.


Pixie Pin-Ups by Too Faced

The Too Faced Pixie Pin-Ups palette is a smaller version of the Enchanted Glamour. The Pixie Pin-Ups palette has 6 eyeshadows (2 matte, 4 frost), Lava Gloss eyeliner in Super Black and Lash Injection Pinpoint mascara in black. This is good palette for everyday use. Its small enough to care with you in your purse especially if you have hug purses like mine. If you are a more of a small to medium sized purse kind of girl this might be too big to carry around. Nonetheless, its still a great palette to have. I love it. I use mostly browns and plum colors for my everyday look and this palette has just what i need. I would say for traveling purposes to keep the box it comes in. The eyeshadows slide out on a palette and can easily slide out and break during travel. Atleast in the box you know that they will be secure.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 3
 Urban Decay's Book of Shadows Vol. 3 is amazing!! First of all the light up show you get when you open up the top flap of the book is so awesome. Its all about the NYC in this palette and with all the 3D pop outs and lighting there is in this palette makes you wanna get it just for the show. Then you slide out the shadows and its even more amazing. You get 16 shadows which consist of an awesome assortment of color from green to blue to purple and everything in between. You get 2 of the 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils, zero(black) and ransom(purple) and of course a small bottle of their Eyeshadow Primer Potion. If you are looking for a look that pops and makes an amazing statement out on the town, UD's BoS Vol. 3 is the palette for you. Oh the looks that you can create with this little book of awesomeness. For traveling again i would suggest to save the box it comes in because the shadows are on a slide out palette and while traveling they may slide out and get ruined. Have fun with this one, you are gonna love it!!!


Urban Decay's Naked Palette
 UD's Naked palette....ummmm what to say other than this is my ultimate favorite palette of all time!!! The colors in this thing are absolutely phenomenal!!!! These are colors that i like to use in my everyday looks. Although after playing with the colors in this palette there are so many looks that you can create. This is a MUST HAVE in my opinion and i can assure you that you are gonna love it. The colors are highly pigmented where less means more. The case is also very nice. Its a perfect chocolate color velvetty case with Naked written in gold. This palette sold out so fast when it came out and i wasnt one of the lucky owners of it until it made its big return to Sephora. When i got my email that this product was back in stock i typed as fast as my little fingers could and ordered it online. I could not risk my local Sephora being out of stock. I had it shipped to work because there is someone there 24/7 and i knew that i wouldnt miss the delivery guy if it went there. It made its delivery on my day off and you best believe it drove all the way to work (15 minutes hahahahaha) just to pick up this baby. Its so funny, the ladies i work with get all excited when i get stuff in the mail because its usually something fun. When i got there i just stopped by said a quick hello retrieved my box from and was ready to head back home when they said, "um, you're not gonna open it? we wanna see!!" I gladly opened the box and shared the beauty. They were so amazed, but im not too sure what about. Was it that they were amazed at how happy i was to finally have this long awaited treasure or about the palette itself? i think it was both hahahahahaha. You must understand one thing, these ladies are your old school beauties who wear the good ol' pressed powder, a swipe of the only eyeshadow they found that morning, some mascara and maybe a bit of eyeliner. Some just use a lather of their good ol' favorite lotion. So when it comes to make up, i must say they have all learned a tip or two of what make up is all about. Not to mention they all loved the palette.



Urban Decay's The Black Palette
Lastly, UD's The Black Palette. This is a palette with deep colors for a great smokey look. It comes with 6 intense color eyeshadows and a 24/7 eyeliner in Zero. I have used this palette to create a very intense smokey eye and i have also used these shadows seperately to add depth and dimension to other looks. This palette is small enough to carry with you and its another palette where less is more. You only need a small amount of shadow to take you a long way. This is defenitely a must have.

Yup I got all these palettes just before the year ended. They were all purchased from Sephora. I absolutely love love love all of these palettes. I highly recommend that you slowly make your way to adding these palettes to your personal set of goodies and/or your make up kit. Hope you enjoyed reading and come back soon.


For the love of awesome palettes and my blog family....Your Cindy
