Peach and gold are made for each other. I just love this colour combination. If you follow my other blog about my recent house reno, you know I'm not a huge fan of the colour peach. But peach can be beautiful if it's the right shade, and with the right colour pairing. </div>

Our lovely bride for this shoot is Johanna. Her peaches and cream complexion could not have been more perfect for this shoot.<br />

I wanted her makeup to not only be soft and dreamy but also elegant and sophisticated. The colours that I selected all had a warm undertone, like the golden peach eyeshadow, which compliment her skin tone.<br />

I found a sample pack of the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in a fashion magazine a few weeks ago and I finally just got around to trying it out. Admittedly I had very low expectations, but I'm excited to say I really love it. <br />
<br />
I would say it's a medium to full coverage and it feels nice on the skin. I can't say that it "reawakened and illuminated" my skin, but I like it all the same. It claims to have peptides and aVitamin Moisturizing Complex with visible anti-fatigue effect.<br />
<br />
The only thing of caution that I would say about it, is that it is scented, and I'm not sure how my skin will react to that after daily use. But I'm willing to try it out, I'm actually going to purchase this drug store foundation, and that hasn't happened since my university days!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nicole Richie looks so glam, she's come such a long way since that trashy reality show she did with Paris way back when. I love the colour of her dress, the glam retro curls, and the icy blue eyeshadow was well done without being over the top.</div>

Jennifer Lawrence makeup was beautiful, a soft smokey eye and I loved how her skin looked radiant, fresh and natural.<br />

Katherine MacPhee looked gorgeous with her dark sultry eyes. Reminded me a lot of Mila Kunis. But regardless I still love this look.<br />

I hope your new year is off to a good start and that everyone is achieving their goals and resolutions that were set on January 1st. I don't usually make a resolutions. But about 10 years ago my husband and I decided every January we would sit down, review how the past year went, and write down the goals that we have for the upcoming year. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you write down your goals.<br />
<br />
This year one of my personal goals coincides with my career goal. And that is to not take makeup so seriously. Even though it's my profession, which I do take seriously, you can't be creative when you have strict rules or also being too scared of making mistakes. That kind of thing pretty much squashes out all creativity. <br />
<br />
When I scroll through Pinterest or check out Youtube makeup tutorials and I see posts that state "the right way" to apply foundation, or whatever the case may be, it drives me bonkers! Are you kidding me?!?! Are you telling me there is only one right way to apply makeup?! That's so ridiculous! <br />
<br />
I have to admit when I started out in my career as a makeup artist I was a wee bit obsessed about doing things "the right way". But after being in the business for a few years now, I know there is never just one right way. It's just makeup! It's supposed to be fun, creative, and an expression of yourself. So my advice to you ladies, who have shun wearing makeup because you fear that you aren't doing it the right way, just do it . Enjoy yourself. If you like to use your fingers to apply foundation, but some sales person told you never to do that, well do it the way you like to do it if it is working for you! Bring fun back into your makeup routine, and worry less about being right. Take chances, be creative. Yes, there maybe some, "I'll never do that one agains", but that's how you learn. <br />
<br />
Good luck this year, and cheers to creativity!Michelle Cudmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18056288209717021662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228362817914141642.post-80951422306086959442012-10-16T09:01:00.000-03:002012-10-16T09:01:13.837-03:00Adios MoustacheI'm not ashamed that I have a female moustache. No, not ashamed, but if I could wish that darn moustache away I would. But since that's not likely to happen, I'm left with figuring how to get rid of my hairy situation on my own. I used to get it waxed/sugared. But it always broke me out, and by the time my skin healed, my hair would be growing back in. arghh!!! So for awhile I left it....and tried to convince my self that it isn't THAT bad. And it isn't, it's just sort of annoying, like a hangnail, you know what I mean? It's there, you try to ignore it, but it just keeps bugging you.<br />
<br />
So, I drove to Shoppers Drug Mart and picked out 3 facial hair remover kits. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP539fMotoaqsjnWMl8EgwIARO_CFuSnkmSR5_ulgUMcu3RYq0QgzJwodkbt1a5oWHYGwJNUl9q-CL1SGmvvmHrjtxLAGXcBsKpovDwRPhFAjMO3Qy1gbfpZo8nTxYISOp76AYsQw1m1LC/s1600/IMG_0155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP539fMotoaqsjnWMl8EgwIARO_CFuSnkmSR5_ulgUMcu3RYq0QgzJwodkbt1a5oWHYGwJNUl9q-CL1SGmvvmHrjtxLAGXcBsKpovDwRPhFAjMO3Qy1gbfpZo8nTxYISOp76AYsQw1m1LC/s400/IMG_0155.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I picked these 3 products based on ads I'd seen and mentions in some of the beauty magazines that I read.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH-SH4zXDiu7_fSZiw11zMw152hO4fage8xdABEFma_XBnemEXiWDF1RP_pYTyo5QzpdO54Rq2YsGDkfGOjxZS4IrGM2_paCOOTUX_b1hoaCeKA_Oy9cdN4amXR7QyoMOkwCN9lT2snOey/s1600/IMG_0126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH-SH4zXDiu7_fSZiw11zMw152hO4fage8xdABEFma_XBnemEXiWDF1RP_pYTyo5QzpdO54Rq2YsGDkfGOjxZS4IrGM2_paCOOTUX_b1hoaCeKA_Oy9cdN4amXR7QyoMOkwCN9lT2snOey/s320/IMG_0126.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo. $32.99 (CAD) This was the priciest of the 3 products. It's a depilatory type of product. It is designed for fine to medium hair (which is the exact type of hair that I was trying to remove). The box claims that there is up to 12 uses. It comes with a skin guarding balm that you apply first over the area that you're removing hair from. Then you apply the hair removal cream, wait 6 - 10 minutes, wipe off and you are supposed to be hair free. Does it work? Well not on me it didn't! If you ever tried to light a bbq the wrong way and ended up singeing your brows, well that is exactly what you end up like with this product. The balm protects you skin, but the hair removal cream seemed to have "burnt" off my facial hairs. It looked and felt nasty. For $32.99 this product was a total waste of money for me! Strike 1.<br />

<br />
Veet Face Ready to Use Wax Strips. I got them on sale for $11.89. On the box, it claims to be ideal for small and delicate facial areas like the upper lip. Works best on short hair. And contains vitamin E and sweet almond oil to help protect the skin. The pack contains 6 wax packets, that you warm by rubbing it between your hands then you pull the strips apart, and you have 2 wax strips. Plus it also comes with 3 perfect finish wipes to wipe off any extra goop, oops I mean wax off of your face. Does it work? These strips have a lot of wax on them and I struggled with it. I had wax all over my mouth, thank god for the wipes, but why the hell do they only give you 3?!??! Bottom line for me on this one, I had more wax on my face then I had hairs pulled out on the strips. Strike 2.<br />

Veet High Precision Facial Wax. I got it on sale for $6.79. This product is specifically designed for eyebrows and upper lip. Claims to have 20 + applications. It comes with the tube of wax, 20 wax strips and a precision stick. You heat the tube of wax in warm/hot water. I put hot water in a cup (but NOT boiling water) in a mug, set the tube in it and let it sit there for 1 minute. It spreads easily and compared to the other 2 products I tried, it actually removed hairs! You have to make sure that the wax gets warmed up enough. I tried it once with just running warm water in the sink and letting the tube sit in the warm water for a minute and it didn't work as well. You can actually see the hair on the strips, which for some strange reason makes me feel like I've accomplished something good. I kind of think that it is best for fine, peach fuzz kind of hair. If your facial hair is coarse then I don't think this wax is strong (not sure if that's the best word to use) enough to rip out that type of hair. Bottom line: I would use this product again. It works (maybe not perfectly) way better then the other 2 products and it's easy to use. And a pretty decent price too. But in all honesty. None of the products removes the hair like a professional wax job. There's a reason why they are professionals.Michelle Cudmorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18056288209717021662noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228362817914141642.post-43290229833820613842012-10-09T20:47:00.000-03:002012-10-09T20:47:01.193-03:00PEI Surf WeddingThere is only on place in the entire world that I want to be during the summer, and that place is on any of the beaches, here on PEI. I've been lucky enough to have been able to do some travelling in my lifetime, and in my humble opinion, there's just no other beach like home!<br />
<br />
And I think it's safe to say that I'm not the only Islander who feels this way. That's why our group of talented wedding vendors decided to create a beautiful PEI surf styled wedding. Although PEI is not known to be a traditional "surfing" mecca (like Hawaii), PEI is well known for other types of "surfing", like windsurfing and kite surfing. <br />
<br />
And honestly, we just love showcasing PEI as a wedding destination! <br />

<b>The "Brides" Makeup</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted "Amy" (otherwise known as Emily) to have a warm, golden bronzed beach makeup, that was beachy but still sophisticated. She has gorgeous green eyes, so I used a warm golden eyeshadow (MAC All That Glitters eyeshadow) and a brown eyeliner (MAC Dipdown fluidline) to play up her eyes, and a golden bronzer to emphasize her amazing cheek bones. I finished the look with a light coat of golden peach lip gloss by FACE Atelier.</div>

I'm back!!!!! What a whirlwind of a summer! With 30 weddings, plus trying to squeeze in some family time, the summer just flew by. I really can't believe it's September all ready! The kids are back in school, weddings are starting to wind down, and I have time to blog and Youtube again!<br />
<br />
So I thought a fun way to kick off the fall season would be to host a giveaway!<br />
<br />
I'm giving away 5 Nail Bliss bling nail appliques in some fun and funky patterns, perfect for fall.<br />

This is mostly a makeup blog, but every now and then I feel passionate enough about something else that I really feel the need to blog about. And today I really feel the need to blog about beach waves. Beach waves and glamour waves are 2 totally different things and it drives me crazy when you see pictures in magazines of these beautiful girls with beautiful glamorous waved hair and they are calling them beach waves. They are so not beach waves! Hello magazine people, have you ever even been to a beach? Have you ever seen a single person at the beach whose hair looked like this pic below? Um, the answer to that is a big fat NO! This picture is from the <a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/beauty/">Who What Wear Beauty blog</a>, which I love that blog, but I am shaking my head at this post this morning because this is so not beach hair. Not even close!</div>

Now these pictures, on the other hand, are perfect examples of beach hair. Beach hair is not soft and shiny. It's gritty and dirty and messy and tousled and imperfectly perfect. The best way to get beach hair is to drive to your nearest beach, go for a swim, towel off and viola! Perfect beach waves. If you don't live close to a beach, then spray your dry (not freshly shampooed) hair with a either a beach spray product or make one yourself (check out my DIY below). And that is it! Ah, it's so simple really. Forget the blow dryers and curling irons, that just defeats the purpose.<br />

How to make your own beach wave spray:<br />
Fill a spray bottle with 8 oz of water<br />
Add 1 to 2 tsp of sea salt (not table salt)<br />
Add 1 tsp of either coconut oil or olive oil. This helps moisturize your locks from the drying effects of the salt<br />
You can also add some essential oils if you'd like to add some scent to your spray.<br />
Shake the bottle, spritz all over, scrunch your hair and you are done!<br />

One of my Youtube subscribers suggested to me that I should do a Katy Perry makeup look. And I just happen to love Katy's new video Wide Awake, so I though it sounded like a great idea! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my hair I just curled it with a curling iron, but I was wishing I had the same blue/purple hue that Katy has. Of all her funky hair colours, I like this one the best. For the hair accessories, I went to Michael's craft store and found some pretty butterflies which I hot glue gunned bobby pins to. Believe me, it was very simple to do.</div>

Over the winter, an amazing group of talented PEI business women, and myself, came up with the idea of doing a modern, pink and gold styled wedding shoot. It took months in the planning and preparing, but just less then 2 weeks ago the planned shoot took place at the home of Kendra Mills located at the Y Loft condos in Charlottetown. </div>

Less then 24 hours after we submitted our shoot to Style Me Pretty, we heard back from them, and they loved our shoot and wanted to publish it! eek!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement! Getting published on Style Me Pretty is a pretty big deal, especially since they get over 400 submissions a day! </div>

The radiant "bride" for our shoot is the lovely Chelsie McInnis. She is such a natural beauty, and I wanted her makeup to look fresh and modern. She has adorable freckles and amazing skin, so I kept her foundation sheer by using Kett Cosmetics airbrush foundation. Her eye makeup was light and neutral, but I added some glamour with Velour false eyelashes in Tdotohh - and they look amazing on her! Chelsie has great lips, so I new right away I wanted to do a bold pink lipstick on her. I used OCC lip tar in Anime, which is a bold, almost neon pink colour. </div>

Oh boy, am I tempted by the images of MAC's latest collection Hey, Sailor. I love all things nautical, and I think I'm more in love with MAC's posters for this collection then the actual makeup in the collection. Although in reality, as my husband and I own a sailboat and cruise and race all summer, not a single person (myself included) ever, and I mean EVER, looks this good coming off a boat. I can only wish my hair looks this perfect post sail! </div>

One point given if it was a luxury product, another point given if it was a quality product (something I would go out and purchase with my own money) and another point given if it was a multi use sample size. Then I added up all the box scores for the given company and got an average score. Here is how they did:</span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Final Thoughts:</span></b></div>
<div style="font: 25.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I really tried to be as fair as possible to all the companies. It is somewhat of an individual review/comparison because each box that I received can be quite different then what someone else receives. And we all have different tastes when it comes to beauty products. This is based on my experience, with the products that I received. Someone else could have a very different opinion on their own individual experience.</span></div>
<div style="font: 25.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 25.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But I have to say, that so far Topbox has been the best out of all the beauty boxes. I do highly recommend them. I hope they keep up with the same quality of products that I have seen in the past. Glymm came out with the lowest overall score. But as you can see, it was their inconsistency in the products they put in their boxes that gave them such a low score. I feel like out of all the boxes Glymm needs to figure out what/who their market is. Maybe they should be the only green beauty box out on the market, or maybe they could be the box that provides the small "indie" beauty brands type of box. I feel like Glymm just isn't sure what kind of box it should be and that results in disappointed/unhappy subscribers.</span></div>
<div style="font: 25.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 25.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And for only receiving 2 Glossy boxes to date, I am still really impressed with Glossy box. They have provided 2 really good boxes with lots of full size products. They are certainly another beauty box worth the subscription!</span></div>

But if you want to be on trend this spring then you'll have to put your lip glosses aside and try out out a fun, bright and bold matte lipstick. For this tutorial I choose MAC's Force of Love from the Chenman collection. It's a bold pinky coral colour that is a matte, but not a "dry" matte, if you know what I mean.<br />
<br />

I love dressing up in green, drinking green drinks, sinking Irish pub songs at the top of my voice (even when I don't know all the words). I love it. So when I decided to create a makeup look for St Patrick's Day, I went all out. Green, green and more green topped off with some green bling. Oh yeah, my Irish eyes are smiling now ;)<br />

The theme of the wedding was "PEI Handmade With Love". The brides grandmother actually knit her sweater that she wore on her wedding day and on the inside was a tag that said "Handmade With Love". So sweet! <br />
<br />
The location of the shoot was the Anne of Green Gables homestead in Cavendish, how storey book perfect is that?! Complete with photos of the couple walking along Lover's Lane. *sigh* <br />
<br />
It was actually a freezing cold day (maybe one of the coldest all year), but the bride and groom were troopers, and we managed to get some amazing photos. It took us all about 24 hours to fully thaw out from being out in the cold all day, but it was worth it!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favourite images from the day:<br />
