Nothing gets the juices flowing like a crisp 5:00 a.m. breeze in your face while walking through a gully holding a reflector and a light stand when working with photographers. I met Sade when working with Joel Brooks completing demo makeup for one of his Photography training courses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Favourite Makeup Loo<span style="color: #222222;">ks : I guess it would have to be a smokey eye with a red lip. Or even a really natural look with nude lips . ( Two extremes, I know lol)</span></span></div>

Recently bought foundation for the first time! On a daily basis I wear little to no makeup.

It kills me when someone uses Google images to find a generic photo so that they can create their flyer. You know, google a cupcake, add words and instantly you look like a baker. It especially kills me when a makeup artist uses faces from the internet to advertise their services.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
In their defense It can be hard to find willing and reliable faces. The average bajan doesn't relish climbing out of bed for a 4 a.m call time to shoot at 5:30 a.m. with a photographer unless you are actually paying them like Naomi . Fortunately I was contacted about makeup for a pageant and met Tomi-Ann. She instantly became a fave and is one of the three Faces of N2N . </span><br />

Magnique Hair offers human hair extensions right here in Barbados. Since I had tried tons of other hair and kept all of it in black or dark brown, I decided to jazz up this one with a little colour.I also installed and coloured this hair myself.<br />
<br />
So off to the local beauty supply and I purchased, peroxide, developer and and Texures and Tones Golden Brown in case the hair colour wasn't quite what I wanted. Sometimes if the hair has been colored treated and not virgin, you can get a weird green toned blonde.<br />
<br />
I didn't have this problem though. I had Peruvian Natural Wave in a 22 inch length, in the highest grade available. Peruvian hair has a more coarse texture so blending with our straightened locs is even easier that with other silkier textures.<br />
The Peruvians come from sturdy stock so this hair holds up to curling and maintains a wave pattern even through heavy brushing.<br />
<br />
I decided to go with the popular ombre effect dark at my roots and lighter at the tips. I am am not much for crazy colour so no purple roots and pink tips here. I just wanted subtle brown colour to come in beachy waves down my hair.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1x34X_x9arG6tXaO-N8sFCJQqXkBd5ieGtMptmJUUcbe6dvy_0Da84LZs4IeQv2jEWqV0CCHezad1dDJ1b6JNT827X9koZU-3SSdNhrYkBXfS7ZcyIsZZWQ2OM4Hd1arT78tf_tYe3kKK/s1600/hair2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img bea="true" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1x34X_x9arG6tXaO-N8sFCJQqXkBd5ieGtMptmJUUcbe6dvy_0Da84LZs4IeQv2jEWqV0CCHezad1dDJ1b6JNT827X9koZU-3SSdNhrYkBXfS7ZcyIsZZWQ2OM4Hd1arT78tf_tYe3kKK/s320/hair2.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">If you ever tried to bleach remy from a package a store you will realize it is not remy . It might be Remington, remus, remo but remy it is not. Already we use the term Remy too often to refer to any kind of hair, it really refers to hair harvested from one person's head and bundled and treated for your purposes . Alot of the hair that comes from a package on the shelf in the local hair store may come off of a head alright but which ones???</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I coloured this hair and unlike my previous attempts, that left me on the floor clutching a ball of knots which resembled frayed crocus bag, this hair was lovely.I was able to bleach it and the colour was gorgeous and very bright too bright for work I am afraid, so I was able to add the colour golden brown to achieve this look. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div>The hair held up well but didn't get fair treat mention as it was on my head while I was on the HcG diet. So just to be extra careful I didn't use any product on it . So it was bleached and colored and razored and received no moisturizers for weeks. When I was desperate I sprayed a brush with oil sheen, gave it a good brush and was done.<br />

</div>All in all this hair lived up to expectations. I was able style, colour, razor with moderate shedding . The wefts are flexible enough that the fold over method was easy to achieve. There was some tangling at my nape but having seen how I treated this hair I am surprised it didn't unstitch itselfef from my head. I have always said if I have to treat the hair on my head better than a small child and I have to touch it and groom it and kiss it and talk to it just for it to look good, that means it is not the high quality hair extension I should have on my head. Marie from Magnific also checked in with me, during the process ensuring I had enough info about care and handling of the hair, which was great.<br />

As many of you know all it takes is a high wind to blow and for some odd reason, you can't find your gym clothes, you wake up too late or have to go home to cook and before you know it months have passed and you haven't gotten to the gym.<br />
I decided to get serious and get back on track but I am CHEATING. I decided to take to fast road to fit. I am doing HCG!<br />
<br />
I know, "Who?' It is the HCG diet craze that is silently sweeping the nation. It shocked me to realise that some of my own clients were looking fab and getting skinny on HCG while I was eating oats and hay and fighting the treadmill. When I started looking into the diet I realised that few people had any info so I decided to document my journey here in between makeup of course.<br />

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone found in the body and can Accelerate fat loss in certain areas if combined with a very low calorie diet (VLCD). And VLCD is no joke. I mean looooow. HCG was discovered way back in the day,1954, by Dr.Simeons and if you are thinking about giving it a try you can down load his book Pounds and Inches free online before you take the dive. I am aware that there are a few Doctor's offices offering prescription HCG. I chose to use the Caribbean Weight Loss Clinic with Dr. Donna Matthew.</div>

I went in for my free consultation and got the down low on the diet.<br />
Basically<br />
<ul>
<li>You inject yourself each day at the same time. Yes, I said inject. No, I am not crazy. No, it didn't hurt. I'm from St.Thomas, I have felt worse stings during the 4-6p.m mosquito happy hour at my house.</li>
<li>Start the injection and gorge for two days. That part was super easy eat as much as you can of higher fat higher calorie foods. Uhhhh sounds like a normal day to me .</li>
<li>On day 3 start the 500 Calorie / Day diet- UH OK</li>
<li>20 mins of light exercise a day and you must avoid strenuous exercise while taking HCG -No problemo</li>
</ul>
So what are you allowed to eat for 500 calories? Not much but thankfully you aren't hungry.<br />
The diet is very strict. So nibbling off the crispy bits of a fish cake and saying calories only count if you are sitting at a table won't work. <br />
<strong>NOTE:</strong> At this time, you discontinue all oil products. This means little or no makeup and if you use makeup, you must use oil free. No oil lotions on the body either. Switch to oil free makeup or lotion. You can use mineral oil or Curel Continuous Comfort as well. No massage as well. Somebody hold me I nearly fainted .. NO MAKE UP !!!! LOL!<br />
<strong>Here is the food list:</strong><br />
<strong>Breakfast:</strong> Nothing is laid out for breakfast but you can have one of your 2 allowed fruits of the day if you wish. All the coffee and tea you like. Start drinking your water. It’s recommended to get down 66-100 oz or so of fluid a day.<br />
<strong>Lunch: </strong>Meat: 3.5 oz of veal, very lean beef, chicken breast, white fish, lobster, crab or shrimp. One type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage.<br />
One breadstick (grissini) or one Melba toast <br />
1 fruit: apple, a handful of strawberries or 1/2 grapefruit. <strong>Dinner:</strong> Same as above<br />
<br />
Well it's pretty straight forward eat this, not that, lose weight. At the end of week one I have lost 8lbs . I am on a 45 day programme and I tell myself I can do anything for 45 days. There is no weeping or wailing and I feel fine. But I am not tempting fate. No more Paula Deen or Bobby Flay watching for a while.The 45 day programme should get me to lose at least 20lbs-34lbs and I am giving it my best shot.<br />
<br />
If you are thinking of giving it a try, message me. I need a buddy to lose with. I will be giving you updates on how this round of HCG is going. So cross your fingers for me.Next2Naturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04754566904475577398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168882636533196760.post-50346173568799823832012-09-19T18:41:00.003-07:002012-09-19T18:42:30.136-07:00N2N Goes Russian !Thanks to Facebook and Twitter there are few things about me that people don't know. What many people don't know though is what my real hair looks like. Since hairdressers don't like to sign my confidentiality agreement and because I just hate waiting, I have been doing my own hair for years. Probably another reason why you can't see my real hair. I don't miss styling my own hair. When it rains, curls go limp, it takes tons of care and product and after months of vitamin E capsules it only gets so long. And let me be truthful, I change direction like the wind one minute I want it long the next short, colour, no colour, streaks, no streaks so it's best I experiment with someone else's hair. <br />
<br />
I was on the job at a wedding recently and caught a glimpse of one of the attendant's hair!! I had to find out where she got it . Since the recent "Remy" craze I have been doing my research but not everyone with a bag of hair can sell me on this "Remy" thing. But this girl's hair looked great. I went online and followed the seller Platinum Hair, a local company on Twitter and Facebook and entered their giveway . I mean just because I wanted to buy didn't mean I wouldn't take it free! Weeks later I open my inbox and I have won their weekly draw!!!!!!<br />

Now don't get carried away wondering about my amazing luck . The draw I won gave me two options. I could purchase a hair type of my choice at a substantially discounted $200 a pack or I could put my name back into the final draw to see if I could win the hair out right. I opted to buy. Who knows if I would I have won the final draw. Okay stop staring at the screen wondering if you read correctly, Yes I said $200 a bundle. But the hair I was lucky enough to get was RUSSIAN. I choose to believe straight off the head of a Russian princess. On their Facebook page the lengths I won 22" and 24" can retail for $600. So I saved $1200 . Yup because I had to buy three packs. I know you are saying no Renee you CHOSE to buy three packs. But to look my absolute best I need fullness. I know some ordinary person could get by with two bundles but I am far from ordinary !<br />

Here are the shots of the hair I received.<br />

The bundles had a freshly washed Dove conditioner smell. Which made me feel better as very often when suppliers buy human hair in bulk it comes fresh from the heads of others with a little more in it than tangles, if you get what I mean. Truly raw or virgin hair should be washed prior . Also as much as I love the smell of fresh hair in the morning that packaged smell is a dead giveaway of the same chemical processes and colouring you don't want in Virgin hair.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
I know some of you are reading and wondering about all the terms virgin, remy, remi, unprocessed, wefts. Trust me I will cover them all in another blog . It is all too much to put in one post. Sufficed to say another quick tip is to burn your hair with a lighter and watch and smell. 100% human hair <span class="goog_qs-tidbit goog_qs-tidbit-1">is pure protein fiber that burns with a small flickering flame and will not</span> continue to burn unless you hold the flame continuously to the strand. It burns briefly with an orange flame and then chars leaving a dark ash that turns to powder when crushed. The odor is of burning flesh or burning feathers. I burnt a few strands and it was just as I had researched ! 100% hair ! </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Anyone paying full price for this hair will probably treat it kindly. I believe however if I have to treat my hair better than a small child it shouldn't be on my head. I cut the weft (those of you that are hair people just got goosebumps, I know.) I sprayed it, steamed it, curled it, flat-ironed it, spritzed it, moussed it, went into the pool and didn't rinse the chlorine out, dove into the ocean and went to bed with wet hair. I tried it all . NOT A FLINCH. I got up after lying on wet hair and ran my finger through it. I actually went a whole weekend without combing my hair. Which is typical on those weekends when I don't have weddings.</div>

I love this hair. I really love this hair. I have installed another type of hair that I bought online. However since I have changed my hair from the Russian Wavy, I have been greeted with weird looks from coworkers when I forget I am no longer a Russian princess and turn up at work and my new hair which is tangled and needs combing. It was a fabulous few weeks and the only reason I removed the hair was to try some others. It will be making an appearance on my head again soon. So feel fry to walk up to me and ask if you can touch it. </div>

We met again at Community College where we both studied Biology and continued studying together at the University of the West Indies. We loved Biology but were not so big on long hours in the library so we always had a "system". Maren branched off into fisheries. On the other hand you couldn't get me into a fishing boat if you tried. Then Maren became a certified diver ..HA!!! You know who didn't join her. The only thing I dive into is a sale bin. However having completed her Masters in Environmental Resource Management Maren moved to St. Vincent and is a Fisheries Biologist based in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and holds the post of Research Graduate in Research and Resource Assessment. <br />
<br />
Being my best friend you would think she too would be a diva-fied hottie with false lashes, nails, weave, and heels. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the sight of my lash collection causes Maren to shake her head in awe. I finally got to do her makeup in between travels. Who knew fish could get you from Tobago, to Iceland, to Puerto Rico and back. I hooked up with her in between conventions and meetings to sit for my 30 and.. series. Maren chose 30 and Fishing !!!! You can decide what she is fishing for when you see her shots. But looking as great as she does here,she certainly won't have to fish for compliments.<br />
<br />
Maren named this look the Parrot fish. ( I know, right ? WHAT?") The parrot fish lives on the reef and the colours we ended up using, selected by Maren, reminded her of this gorgeous reef fish.<br />

Not just parties but fabulous, epic events perfectly coordinated to suit my exquisite tastes but empty pockets.After my birthday soiree the genie was let out of the bottle. I am a planning machine. So I of course I started looking for any excuse to plan something. My plan backfired my sister decided to move to Scotland giving me not only something to plan but something to cry about. Thanks to much inspiration online and many trips to Woolworth and the "$2 and $3 Stores" I was able to plan a Summery Flowery going away party for my sister , Alexis.<br />

Kadooment day is especially crazy for me. In the weeks leading up to the big jump up everyone is hoping to book makeup for kadooment day offering favors, money and their first born for a coveted time slot. I think every makeup artist has to be booked from 4a.m. to 8a.m. on kadooment day. <br />
<br />
I however felt particularly ambitious and decided to start taking appointments from 2:40 a.m. Yup 2:40 Makeup is that important. Fortunately with the help of a dedicated team, I was able to survive this day with all my weave intact. <br />

To keep the makeup on over time I selected three brands of spirit gum Graftobian, Ben Nye and Kryolan. I was taking no chances of rhinestones moving. Glitter is a big fave of mine so it was on everything eyes, backs, shoulders. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
While waiting my clients were treated to breakfast sponsored by M&D incorporated. More popularly known as mummy and daddy. From the wee hours they were able to munch on plums, oranges, apples, strawberries, yogurt, cookies, sweet pastries, fish cakes,sandwiches, sausages, well you get the picture. Gone are the days where people stand hungry waiting for a chance to sit in the chair for makeup. </div>

My assistants for the day Allison, Alana, Alexis and Sherry were a God send. Every year I toss and turn the night before Kadooment nervous about the number of people, hoping everyone looks great and no one is left waiting on the sidelines for their makeup. This year it was smooth sailing. From prepping with oil and sweat control, to foundation and rhinestones they kept the line flowing so that everyone was on time.When the dust settled I even had enough energy to finish my makeup and hit the road before all the bands ran down to Spring Garden.</div>

After the dust settles I too will have a Commission of Enquiry into the day's events :-) and we will plan for even better things to come in 2013. If you want to join in the fun my advice is not to wait 6:00 a.m and 6:30 a.m are already taken.<br />

Then at 12 I tried Chitosan the fat blockers but was allergic to shellfish, the main ingredient so that didn't last long. Slimfast at Community College, Cabbage soup diet, ccayenne pepper lemonade and Atkins diet at University. Nowhere in here did I consider eating healthy and going to the gym. I mean really, I didn't get fat because I like veges and the treadmill. I like sweets and pasta and souse and high calorie beverages.<br />
<br />
The only thing that had ever worked for me was the Atkins diet but with old age setting in I was too afraid to binge on bacon and cheese. There is only so much cholesterol arteries can take and who am I kidding? Who can afford bacon nowadays anyway? At $13 a pack its cheaper to raise the pig. <br />
<br />
When I tipped the scale at my heaviest I was a whopping 239lbs but a cute 239lbs. In case you didn't know the bigger you are the more you do. I put on more makeup, had bigger earrings, bigger hair, brighter nails and higher heels. All to distract from my expanding waistline. So when people came up to me and said "Waait you getting real big!" I would say I guess so but did you see my new shoes!<br />
<br />
I lost the first 20lbs then stalled because I hadn't been in the gym. I renewed my membership at Surfside, got a gym partner and got to work. I had a white dress to get into for my 30th and all my friends are hot so I was not to be outdone.<br />
<br />
My diet consisted of modified Atkins as far as I am concerned. No bread, pasta, little to no potatoes absolutely no fun. Mostly pretty vegetables and protein and more water than the west coast. I know... Where are you getting your energy? Where are the carbs? In the supermarket !!!! I have very little self control and it is better for me to leave them out than eat any so apart from the squash, the vegetables, low sugar fruit and the slice of sweet potato here and there. I tried to avoid carbs.<br />
<br />
So here I am Renee minus 51lbs and a lady asks me if I want to enter her plus sized pageant. While I was flattered, I stood there with my pants riding low on my hips and sagging at the back like I just lost a ton of weight and I feared that entering such a competition would mislead my friends, family and let's not forget my fans. <br />
Well I had set a goal of 160 and she informed me that I could enter the competition once I was over 150 so my new weightloss goal is 149.Should someone require a makeup artist though I am certainly available.<br />
<br />
I will need as much help as possible. My personal trainer is no longer with the gym and my gym partner often goes in the night time, so I am in need of motivation. I had set up deadlines for myself. I will use my Loseit app to record my food intake and my exercise and I will assess my progress in 30 day segments. I have started a personal journey and really I'm just hoping to motivate others and get a little motivation myself. As for the pageant I think I'm too short and I don't think taking out my brush and doing someone's makeup will be judged as a talent.<br />

One minute I was having a shoot with five girls then nothing. All plans fell through. But being the good sport that I am I decided to roll with the punches and after picking up the phone and pleading with someone, anyone to come for makeup, Regina came to my rescue. As luck would have it her sister was her in Barbados on vacation all the way from Tel Aviv Israel. So I had two models on my hands.<br />
<br />
I gave Regina a sunny summery look.Using a shimmery beige eye shadow, brown and bronze shadow I created an easy to replicate eye look. Rhea mentioned that she like to wear a red lip when heading our so I got a chance to use my red blacklUp lipstick. I used NYX megashine lipgloss in Perfect Red along with my blacklUp red (which has no name on my tube so don't ask). I gave her a hot gold lid suitable for parties and used Inglot back shadow as a smokey eyeliner.<br />

Everything was looking great and then BRUGADOWN, the lights went out. No ELECTRICITY. Back in the day when partying was partying I was known to put on my makeup in the dark. Many an evening struggling to get into Club Extreme or Boatyard for free I would apply my makeup in the car the dark and no one said anything to me so I assume I looked great. This however was ridiculous.With no AC in the studio, rain pouring outside and mosquitoes waiting at the doors and windows for just the tiniest crack I was not amused. <br />
Jaryd, the photographer for this shoot, was not deterred. He got the girls to stand in front of a lovely tree and whipped out his camera in the drizzling rain. Of course I am standing thinking "Where are the lights?" "Where is all the fancy schmancy stuff ?" "How are we supposed to get a shot like this?" But I kept those thoughts to myself, creatives can get very touchy. The lights and fancy stuff were to come later, but look at how great the shot turned out.<br />

Finally the power comes back on and we were able to complete the N2N Summer shot. I was thinking the usual sunny poses and Regina says "Can I make the kissy face?" Here's where my age shows itself because I was like I know she doesn't mean that puffed out cheek face she does with her galpals on facebook, but her shot turns out to be fabulous as well.</div>

Over the past few months I have lost quite a bit of weight (shamelessly bragging). Forty-seven pounds to be exact and it is mostly due to the usual, you know, starvation, prayer, bargaining with God. After all the trials it comes down to the same thing diet and exercise. I have never been however a big fan of classes. At my gym, Surfside, there are lots of classes and I never take them. Seriously, never! I am dragged kicking and screaming if ever I am seen in one. I don't know what it is but I am from the old school. I stick to simple movements done over and over. Elliptical, Stair-climber, Treadmill, rinse and repeat. I am like Stone Cold Steve Austin when it comes to the gym....</div>

Dancing around and Zumba are obviously the last thing you will catch me doing. When contacted about sponsoring a prize and coming to a Zumbunnies class, I willing offered the prize but not my body. I would come see what it was all about and go home. Boy was I in for a shock.<br />

The DJ hit us with hit after hit, my girl Beyonce included. This was no class. This was and out to all, "shell down" fete!! Girls came in all sizes and costumes with prizes up for grabs there was no holding back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For well over an hour and a half there was dancing, "jonesing" mixed with the usal kicks, squats and zumba core crunching moves. Okay, time to bring my eyebrows back down. Everyone was having fun and most importantly they were able to keep up and keep moving. I hate when I get to a class that is so complicated all I can do is march on the spot and watch the clock. </div>

Just a few tips:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Bring lots of water</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Bring a big towel.</strong> There is no end to the sweating and burning. Never touch your hands to your sweaty face, as this spreads bacteria and increases the likelihood of acne. Just use your towel (blotting, not wiping) instead!</li>
<li>Whenever possible <strong>get out</strong> of your Zumbunnie sweat soaked clothes as qucikly as possible. Get out of those clothes and into the shower.</li>
<li>Wherever possible <strong>avoid makeup</strong> (unless in costume :-D) Most makeup will clog pores by not allowing your skin to breathe naturally during workouts. If you must, use a lighter foundation which will alow your skin to function more naturally.</li>
<li><strong>Cleanse your face!</strong>You should thoroughly cleanse your skin directly after exercise to clear your pores and remove the sweat and grime that have built up during your workout. You may be losing pounds but your face is accumulating oil, grime and perspiration.</li>
<li><strong>Rehydrate </strong>your body with water and <strong>Rehydrate</strong> your skin.After putting your skin through this butt-shaking workout and a cleansing, you will want to re-establish the natural moisture and oils that have been removed.</li>
</ul>
For you guys who love to shake it and want to "six-thirty" in a safe judge-free environment this is the place for you. Zumbunnies classes are $25 and I believe you sweat out everypenny. Check the link for their dates and info. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you were listening to the beauty buzz, you would have heard about the launch of blacklUp Makeup. An upscale French Make-up Artist line created with women of colour in mind. Now usually once it's French and I can't pronounce it has to be good. The name Black Up Makeup was easy enough to pronounce but before now not easy enough to get. I knew for some time it was available in a boutique on the West Coast but was not sufficiently motivated to purchase it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve been to launches before which were more informal and to my dismay had much less wine. So this one I liked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I was able to meet and mix and mingle with fellow artists as well as some of my clients who had come out just to see what was up. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It's black, it's sleek looking and the cream to powder compact is easy to carry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The line has a special focus on matifying and let me tell you, I wage war on oil on a daily basis. Nutrients are nice but I want to like matte and polished as long as possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It comes in a wide range of shades and I had no problem finding mine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Shades are warm without appearing too red on the skin and the formulation dries down quickly. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Way, way, way, back in the day when I thought I could apply all shadows with a q-tip, I met Carolanne Nurse. At that time she worked with Clinique. I remember looking at her skin and thinking OMG! It was flawless so whatever she was selling I was buying. She then moved to MAC Cosmetics and she took her flawless face, pleasant attitude and great service there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pleased to see that Black Up had hired such a gem. In the days before I owned more makeup that any same person can actually wear, she helped me with my purchases and I am sure that should you venture down she will make you feel as comfortable as she did me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Makeup doesn’t just walk off a shelf. Especially in Barbados where everyone just wants to look “natural”. Personnel are important are Black Up has made a good choice in Make-up Artists Carolanne Nurse and Joanna Jones.</span></div>

Smokey eyes have been around forever but recently the term has become quite popular. Every time someone speaks of an eye look you will hear "Wait a minute. Is that a smokey eye?" I was still a bit surprised to have to hold two smokey eye workshops and have people ask for more. In case you missed it, here was the flyer.<br />

In the workshop I started from the basics. Giving everyone information that would help them to become informed shoppers. I remember when I started buying makeup, I found what I thought was the greatest invention...a makeup eraser! Please stop laughing! I seriously thought it would help me. It did. It helped me to realize I spent too much money on stuff that didn't work and I wanted persons to leave my class feeling confident enough to make intelligent purchases. </div>

I was able to use makeup in this class that is actually available in Barbados. For the average shopper when a makeup artist starts to rattle off names not only are they left bewildered, they are always frustrated when none of the items can be sourced here.

There were many prizes in this class from makeovers to cash vouchers to discounts on hair and makeup. The most coveted prize though was the full smokey eye makeover and photo-shoot with BCreative photography who took the head shots for the class flyer. Cheriece was the lucky winner.<br />

<div>
<div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Meet my gal-pal Danielle. At 30 she is well on her way to achieving her goal of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">becoming the 'go-to' </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Attorney-at-Law in Barbados for advice on International Trade and Development issues. </span>A graduate of the University of the West Indies Cave Hill and Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad, Danielle holds<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> a Bachelors Degree in Law, the Legal Education Certificate and a Master of Science in International Trade Policy.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Much like the other 30 year olds I know she ain't no old girl. Between traveling, shopping , socializing and our regular Cafe Sol and beach limes Danielle is always on the move. </div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Professionally Danielle is on her way to the top. A Senior <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Associate at the largest law firm in Barbados Clarke Gittens Farmer, she divides her days between work, gym, her work as Programme Action Officer of Soroptimist International of Barbados and of course, relaxation time with friends and family.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
I wanted to give Danielle one of her signature looks. Whenever I do her makeup she requests a smokey eye and why not. It is classic, no fuss and can go from flirty to professional. Too often we rush out of the house without makeup, doing just enough to get through the day. Let me say it now CLEAR LIPGLOSS IS NOT ENOUGH. You aren't a teenager liming at Accra. Get out some colour girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes I know its an office but I don't mean you should stripe yellow or pink shadow across your lids to match your blouse. For the office stick to neutral tones. Not only will it hide any mistakes you made while applying your shadow at the stoplights, but your face will say " I took time to look professional and I am ready for work". Even if your shoes are off under the table and you forgot lunch at home.</div>

But so many things needed to be in place. The next few blog posts will be dedicated to the fabulosity that is 30 !<br />
<br />
The SHOOT<br />
I wanted to have a photoshoot of all my girlfriends who were 30.. or at least those who wanted to admit it. The plan was I would do everyone's makeup and we would capture this fab time on the roof of the Oceans 2 Resort. <br />
I had very limited time and everyone started coming around 3pm for a 5pm shoot. At least I knew the look I was going for. I wanted just bronze and clean. Not only would this allow me to finish all 8 of us on time but it would ensure everyone was just their most pretty without looking too busy.<br />
I also wanted everyone to feel comfortable in their skin after. Makeup for a shoot can get pretty heavy and knowing that I would have to fight some of my friends into lashes and heavy liner, I didn't want them to have to spend the rest of the night feeling like they wanted to peel their faces off.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Products used</b></u><br />
Black Opal foundation and Powder<br />
Ben Nye Banana Powder<br />
Inglot shadows<br />
Sleek eyeshadow palette in Au Naturel<br />
Mac brow pencil in Stud<br />
Mac liner in Smoulder<br />
Revlon Colorstay liner in black<br />
Red cherry Lashes #606<br />
Nars Taj Mahal Blush<br />
Sleek Blush in Aruba<br />
Mac lip pencil in Chestnut<br />
NYX lip colours and glosses<br />
<br />
To tell you the truth unless someone is pried from my chair I rarely want to stop applying or modifying the makeup .<br />
So as crunch time approached we just had to drop everything and run to the roof and got their just in time to catch the last rays of sun.<br />

I am an avid youtube viewer. When I say avid I mean I don't go to work until I check for new videos. So you can say I am a bit obssessed . I mean between yt and twitter you feel so like everyone is your buddy and you can chat away with people who love the same makeup I love and feel just how I feel. <br />
<br />
Giveaways on yt happen all the time and I usually watch the giveaway vids and seldomly enter. I always feel like " Whatever, there is no way I can win." So I can count on one hand how many I have entered. <br />
Somehow I decided to enter the Gossmakeupartist January giveway. After many "I want to win Makeup" I watched the goss winner video and nearly fainted at my iPad. When he said the winner is Moccatreat. I played the video for everyone to make sure I had heard him correctly.<br />
<br />
You have to understand why I was so excited. It is not just the products but that of all the people in the world who entered and 236,242 yt followers I WON!! Insert Happy dance here. <br />
<br />
Let's not forget the star factor. Watching people on yt is just like tv and honestly they are MUA superstars to me. When you see them in public you want to whip out your phone and post on your fb page ASAP.<br />
<br />
I have watched Wayne Goss's videos forever but what I love most are his shortest, most concise and honest reviews. When you subscribe and you see a video that's only 2 minutes ...WATCH IT!! I mean I dont have time to sit through 20 mins of footage before I get to the hot stuff. So he hits the spot for me everytime.<br />
<br />
So let me get to the HOT STUFF . This is what I won from THE Wayne Goss aka gossmakeupartist. SUBSCRIBE people SUBSCRIBE!<br />

She had contacted me about collaborating with her during the holidays to provide makeup for the promotion of her hot new clothing line. I was all in. Not only was she an old school mate but we grew up just around the corner from each other.<br />
Ayesha now resides in Miami but came home for a working holiday and made an appearance on the Morning Barbados show and was interviewed for the Sunday Easy Magazine.<br />

Ayesha as she appeared in the Sunday Sun </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My parents who never miss Mornin' Barbados were thrilled to see "little Ayesha" from around the corner on television and read about her progress in the Sunday Sun. My mother had only one problem, which was that I had not taken the time to let her know that a celebrity was at her house!!!<br />
<br />
So after this tongue-lashing when Ayesha returned for a special N2N photoshoot I made sure to give early notice to my mother who came armed with her camera to be photographed with a celebrity!!!<br />
<br />
Our shoot got started at the crack of dawn and this time we couldn't travel to an exotic locale. We were without a portable light source so we got a really really long extension and had the shoot on an abandoned lot. <br />

The usual, weight loss, save more la de dah de dah .<br />
This year however with 30 looming around the corner la de dah will no longer cut it. So one by one I have been tackling the things I want to change. One big item is skin care.<br />
You would think that someone who loves makeup and fussing over their face would spend more time taking care of their skin.<br />
What I do spend is alot of money actually buying skincare items but I never seem to finish them. But no more. Starting now I am embarking on an EB challenge, The Empty Bottle challenge. From my undereye serums to my night resurfacing elixer I intend to actually finish a bottle of something, anything! This doesn't only make pocket sense but often we quit using something before it even has a chance to make a marked difference in our appearance.<br />
<br />
I am doing seven things to improve my skin this year .<br />
<br />
1. Keeping my fingers away from my face. Scratching, pinching and squeezing are doing nothing other than putting germs on my face and leaving unsightly scars.<br />
<br />
2. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice a day. I want to work on my pores so I am currently using <strong>Clinique</strong> <span class="copy12"><b>Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum</b></span> before I moisturize.<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Wearing sunscreen everyday.. ..or at least a moisturizer with a suitable SPF. <br />
I am giving <strong>Clinique's Age Defense Moisturizer</strong> a try.<br />

<br />
<br />
4. Using a mask once every week.<br />
5. Exfoliating regularly. I know whenever I heard the term exfoliate before all I could see is the old st. Ives Apricot Scrub and the scratches I made rubbing that sanding lotion onto my face. But select a gentle exfoliator. In fact an exfoliator doesn't even need to have granules in it to be effective. Chemical exfoliates have been proven to slough off dead skin cells without the harsh scrubbing action of granules. <br />
I am currently loving <strong>Olay Regenerist Nightime Resurfacing Elixir.</strong><br />

<strong><br /> </strong>6. Taking off my makeup before bed....THOROUGHLY !!! More on what I'm using later.<br />
<br />
7. Being consistent ! It doesn't help my cause starting, then stopping, anything. My scale can tell you that .<br />
Good makeup should start with good skin care and I intend to make this the year I focus on having clean, clear and healthy skin.Next2Naturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04754566904475577398noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168882636533196760.post-10663174615538097332011-12-20T11:37:00.000-08:002011-12-20T11:57:28.418-08:00Holiday Looks: Merry Berry Christmas'Tis the season for makeup and recently some of my friends and clients have been asking for red shadow. I am honestly not a fan of red shadow. It is probably the only colour in my pans that remains untouched. But the holidays are too great not to give rich berry hues a try.<br />
First I created a simple red berry eye with a natural pink lip.<br />

I may very well stop scowling at the red in my kit and give these hot reds a try in the future. Take a look around your makeup bag and give some of those unloved shadows a shot. Maybe you will be as happy with the results as I am.Next2Naturalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04754566904475577398noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168882636533196760.post-31153866441055585392011-11-15T15:26:00.001-08:002011-11-21T14:37:54.394-08:00From Drab to FabI wanted for a long time to have a makeup workshop, but just because you feel like talking doesn't mean people feel like listening. And seriously, I am always talking. For years though, my friends have been asking me tons of questions about makeup. <br />
"What foundation should I buy?" <br />
"Where should I buy eyeshadow?"<br />
"How do I use an eyelash curler?"<br />
I finally found the right location and the right time and held my first workshop.<br />

I tried to cover all the things I remembered I wanted to know.<br />
<br />
What people wanted was to have the world of makeup boiled down to simple, easy to understand steps and of course with solutions for our climate and items that can be found in our market.<br />
Well I had a major challenge. Almost my entire kit came from "over 'n away" and you know why . Not only is availability a problem but as a mere consumer I don't understand the challenges which face the average retailer. I cannot see how a product which is sold for US$1 can be brought to Barbados and retailed here for BDS$9-$12 .I also don't understand how something bought for US$3 retail is sold here for BDS$25. So as a makeup lover who must beautify on a budget, I choose to purchase elsewhere.<br />
<br />
So for the most part I offered information about where my favourite items could be purchased online, how they could be sourced through makeup suppliers in Barbados and where in Barbados you could find a cheaper alternative to those makeup must-haves. We also covered makeup application techniques, selecting foundation and a slew of tips and tricks from how to get your eyeshadow to last, to how to keep lipstick off your teeth.<br />

I honestly felt "fussy". The oohs and aaaaahs that come after someone finally understands something were gratifying and knowing that I could help persons to make informed purchases was great. <br />
<br />
And of course I had giveaways. Each person received a gift bag with discount vouchers from N2N and Platinum Touch, an eyeshadow pallette and at the end thanks to an idea from the O2B2 tour Barbados, we had giveaways of 30 different makeup products from Black Opal lip colours and mineralize shadows, to MAC pigments, vouchers for makeup from Beauty Essentials and lots of mascaras, glosses and shadows to supplement the gift bags.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I've been hearing and seeing lots of stuff about Naked Cosmetics and with the term "mineral makeup" being on everyone's lips it surprised me that this mineral brand slipped my grasp for so long. I was finally able to get my hands on some items from the Naked brand from<b> Colour Coded Makeup</b> who retail a number of the collections from the Naked Brand . You can imagine my glee.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mineral makeup has been gaining popularity among women the past few years. So dermatologists, makeup artists, and basically everyone and their granny are giving a boost to the sales of mineral makeup .So what's so exciting ??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mineral makeup comprises of minerals, which are pulverized and sterilized into fine powder form. The makeup is made using zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and 100%-micronized minerals, which some companies say are free from chemicals that cause inflammation and irritation to the skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But beware just because they slap the word mineral on it doesnt make it magic. Always do your own research
and test the makeup in store before you go all out on these sometimes expensive
purchases.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I got my Naked mineral makeup I was excited at
the thought of more pigments. On the back of the box Naked even lists ways in
which you can use your new pigments. E.g in nail polish, on your lips and even
in your hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all I love the stackable containers.
Long before the iPhone and ipod my friends christened me as Renee
iMash-up (you know instead of I-fill) and I have broken many of the Mac
stackable pigments but these containers seem a bit tougher and of course I
dropped one :-)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pigments are pretty and shimmery and that’s
what I love most about pigments there always seems to be a little more
oomph when a colour is loose when compared to its pressed and flat counterpart.
That may just be my eyes. This stack is called Mother Nature and contains a
blue brown pigment (much like Mac’s Blue Brown)
, a tan coloured pigment with gold flecks, a shimmery gold pigment,
a mint green pigment with gold flecks, a rich coppery red colour and white
frosty pigment. I looked at the gold, green and red together and I seriously
thought oooh I can feel a holiday look coming on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Blame it on marketing, YouTube, whatever you want . People know now exactly the look they want and the products the stars use to achieve it. <div>
<br /><div>
Some makeup artists may be put off by this kind of client but honestly sometimes it takes the pressure off me! So often people say I don't know what I want and I stare at hundreds of shadows, a million lip colours and think "Girl neither do I!" but ever so often there is a girl who has gone online downloaded a Kim K pic and said, " darling want these eyes and this lip" and I know exactly what she is going for, even if it has to be tweaked to suit her .</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was clients like these that started demanding high end products , airbrush makeup, HD foundations, 'pore-perfekting' products , and luxurious bronzers and I obliged until little by little I had a collection products from moisturisers to mascaras to satisfy the client. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't get me wrong I love me a deal but I must admit I too am a sucker for marketing. I know...I know... As a MUA I must use a discerning eye and follow the research and reviews for products that aren't only high end but work, but I love shiny packaging and if you smack a little gold dust on something and put on a pretty price tag...somehow I feel it must work and when I put it on I feel like money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Packaging aside though , thanks to reviews and other avid bloggers I was able to add sensibly to my collection and come up with products which I liked and would satisfy my clients needs for a luxurious finish. .....N2N <i>Luxury</i></div>

In Barbados Ramona , Rhea and Regina have been staples on the pageant and fashion scene. They have been collecting crown and titles for years. I first met the bubbly and exciting Regina and collaborated with her on shoots before but this time all three sisters were on the island and the opportunity to shoot with them presented itself and I was more than willing to take part.<br />

For their makeup I wanted to let their natural beauty shine through and I am currently on a coral kick!! I don't know when this colour became so hot but I am glad that it did. I used Temptu Airbrush foundation on Regina and Ramona and a coral coloured La femme blush. Rhea's deeper tones called for my favorite Black Opal Foundation and used Nars Taj Mahal Blush on her cheeks for a warm glow. On their eyes I used Clinique's shadow <em>Like Mink</em> on the lashline and blended into the coral toned <em>Sunburst</em> shadow. I used Clinique's <em>Daybreak</em> shadow as a highlight.<br />
<br />
I cant get enough of the OCC lip tars and I used the varying mixtures of <em>Beta, Grandma</em> and <em>Safety Orange</em> to personalise each girls lips for her skin tone. <br />
<br />
Here are the results.<br />

Its one of the few days that ladies will actually let me apply glitter, rhinestones and lashes without raising eyebrows.My day usually starts for me around 3am and goes straight to 10:30 am, then I head ontp the streets. No sitting, no drinking, just glitter and craziness. <br />

If you notice that these pix looks extra sleek just know that I did NOT become a photographer .. my buddy Brian of Bcreativephotography took them .Check out his stuff here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcr8ive/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcr8ive/</a><br />

</div>This year on twitter I saw the offerings of Xotic Eyes. A company which produces gorgeous glitter appliques for the eyes and body .My first plan was to starve myself lose 100 pounds and wear it myself on kadooment day.Sanity prevailed and I spoke to a girl I saw at work and when I showed her the pieces and she was thrilled and decided to create her own costume with the pieces.<br />
Two days before Kadooment we realised we needed more <span id="goog_1413311132"></span><span id="goog_1413311133"></span>appliques to cover her body with none to be had on the island.

The makeup videos on the YT allow you to access a world of products often unavailable in Barbados. Not to mention there are a slew of makeup gurus who give you tips and tricks of the professionals. But when I started watching Pursebuzz (Elessa Jade) and Enkore (Koren Zander) I learnt not only tips and tricks but they were truly gurus. From how to make brush cleaner and deodorizer to swatches and reviews of all the latest pigments, shadows and glosses and how to properly apply each one.<br />
<br />
When I got the opportunity to go to O2B2 (Out Of the Beauty Box ) tour I was thrilled, not only would I get a chance to meet people that I have admired forever but I would get a chance to be certified in Bridal or Airbrush makeup application.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I was fortunate enough to attend the July 10th Traditional Bridal Class in Tampa Bay , Florida. I sat in the taxi mentally screaming all the way to the class I was so excited. It is not that I haven't been to makeup classes before.. I went to classes in Barbados conducted by a variety of makeup professionals, but some how going to this one I felt "fussy" :-).</div><br />
When I arrived at class I was presented with my tiara and bow and started by taking inventory of the FABULOUS kit. I got brushes, HD primer, foundation....too much to mention just click below and look at the product list for the Bridal class. <br />
