beauty + the bride

Brides want everything to be perfect; that's a no-brainer!

I wanted to write up a little teaser about a couple of thingamajiggies I am in the processing of lining up for brides (current and future) in the GTA (and surrounding area or if you happen to be visiting the city at all the right times) that can help them get aisle-walking, white dress wearing, gorgeously glowing, picture perfect.

Here's a sneak peek:

Seaflora: I'm teaming up with my girl Raman and Seaflora in mid-March for a mini-spa experience. Learn the benefits of Seaflora's skincare line while getting your hands and feet pampered. (I should mention that this event is free).

RMS Beauty: Let's play! In early April come hang out with me for some beauty demos and quick makeup apps (no not for your iPhone) using range of colours from RMS Beauty. See what the 411 is on the living luminizer and the lip2cheek products - a bridal must-have! (And this is event is free too!)

Vida Skin Studio: I'm collaborating (once again) with Raman of Vida Skin Studio to get your complexion in tip top shape before the wedding. Let's just say skin treatments are involved plus FULL SIZE products (notice the plural) for DIY at home maintenance. Your skin will never look better.

The Blush Boutique Bridal Sale: Ready to start thinking about thank you gifts for your bridal party? Expect to hear more about a big sale at The Blush Boutique on bridal sets and goodies that you'll want to keep instead of gift. If you want to hear more about any of these events or The Blush Boutique sale, please email me at beautymail@blushpretty.com.

  • ... January 31, 2012 End of January 2012 already? Say what?! Now that we are in the midst of winter, albeit warm and actually quite nice out, I'm in a stage of wearing minimal makeup in order to keep my face looking fresh and clean and opposed to dry and cracked. First, I used plenty of moisturizer to hydrate the skin and once that has sunk in, I applied a selection of Bobbi Brown concealers to the under eye area and around the nose, chin and cheeks to minimize dark circles and redness. Blend blend blend. Then I rubbed in some Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink to the cheeks and dotted some onto the lips as well. I topped it off with Bobbi Brown lip gloss in Citrus - a new electric orange gloss from the new Neon and Nudes line. - Stephanie, Ms. BlushPretty

my brides are wearing ...

  • … Ardell Half Lashes in 301 and 305 I used to be a big fan of building up the outer lash area using single clusters ... but as of late, it's Ardell's 301 and 305 that sends my brides' (and mine) heart flutter. Using these lashes, I think, gives the exaggeration of a full strip, but the natural "I was born with these lashes" feel. Lash trick: give the glue about 5 to 8 seconds to get tacky before applying to the lash line! - Stephanie, Ms. BlushPretty

did you know ...

  • … that BlushPretty will be bringing to you beauty on a budget this year? Yep. You heard me right. And yes. We are! This February 2012 will be the start of Treat Yourself Tuesdays and Treat Me Nice Thursdays. Each and every Tuesday, The Blush Boutique will have a can't be beat promotion on our curated selection of must-have beauty products. Think BOGO deals or items at up to 40% off. Sweet, right? And on Thursdays, let's chat about getting pretty - every Thursday, make an appointment at the studio to get your brows groomed at 50% off. Such a steal. So cheers to you ... to Tuesdays and Thursdays ... and to a fatter wallet by year end! - Stephanie, Ms. BlushPretty


have you tried ...

  • ... Revlon Illuminance Crème Shadow? This cream based eyeshadow is not like your average eyeshadow. Normally, if you don’t prime your eyes before applying eyeshadow, it can slide right off - leaving little to no product left on the eye. (What's the point then, right?) This cream eyeshadow doesn't disappear or slip or slide, at all. (Yay!) It comes in packs of four different colors but they all go great together. The one that I bought is a nude/neutral set and when I use all the colors together it gives me a natural looking finish. - Alanna D., the intern

i just can't live without my ...

  • ... Pencil Concealer from the Body Shop. I needed to buy a new concealer and I just so happened to be looking around in The Body Shop when the saleslady walked up to me and asked me if I needed help - andof course, being the talkative person that I am - I told her I was looking for a new concealer. She recommended their Pencil Concealer that I have now used every day since making the purchase. It is by far my favourite concealer; it covers any imperfections without looking to overdone or covered up. - Alanna D., the intern

and i just bought ...

  • ... Medium Shopping Bag Makeup Palette from Sephora. I picked up this small palette of makeup from Sephora during the holidays and it is amazing! It comes with 33 eyeshadows, 12 lipsticks, 4 blushes, and 2 bronzers. When I first bought it, I immediately went home to use the lipstick colors. I mixed a few of them together and ended up with a gorgeous pinkish color with a hint of purple. There are so many colors to choose from to mix and match so the possibilities are endless! - Alanna D., the intern

scene & heard ...

  • "I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside."
