HAZEL SHOOT.

Friday just past I had the pleasure of doing Hair & MakeUp for the delicious Women's clothing label, Hazel.  WOW.... what gorgeous pieces!  I wanted absolutely everything I set my eyes on... I highly recommend taking a look at their website.  Word of warning - be prepared to want it all!

We were lucky enough to work with a special little guy who went by the name of Cairo.  Cairo is a big, brown horse and was a huge hit!  I wish we could take him along on all shoots, he had such a unique personality and was extremely well behaved.  Not only did I want to take home all the clothes, but I also wanted to take home Cairo! Thanks to Liz for lending her bundle of joy to our shoot, he was a lot of fun and very welcomed addition.

Check out these 'behind the scenes' Polaroid's I took.  Our model Lacey from Next Model Management was such a beauty and more than a pleasure to work with.... a total doll!

Thanks to our Photographer, the über talented Alexander Ceasar.  Also, big thanks to Leonard, Caleb, Annette, Nancy and of course Lacey.  What a great crew!

Beverly Hills Polo Club.

I just finished up a two day shoot for the distinguished label, Beverly Hills Polo Club.  What a fun shoot, definitely one of my favorites!  The products were really lovely and the entire crew were amazing... plenty of laughs, professional, fast and just a lot of fun to be around.   It's so great when a shoot is such a success, it really doesn't feel like work.  I feel so lucky to call this profession my 'job'.  Will post shots as they become available.

TINTED MOISTURIZER MUST HAVES.

Tinted Moisturizers are a God send!  Two products that are a total MUST HAVE are Boscia Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20.

I am a huge advocate of using products that are as natural or organic as possible.  Anything that is formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances/Dyes, Phthalates, GMOs or Triclosan gets a HUGE thumbs up from me.... enter Boscia Tinted Moisturizer.  This little gem has none of the above mentioned ingredients therefore is 100% preservative free and perfect for sensitive skin.  

This ultra-sheer tinted hydrator contains anti-aging protection that helps guard your skin against free-radicals. The color is truly gorgeous - instant and natural looking with a silky soft finish. UVA/UVB protectors protect your skin from damage... could this Moisturizer be more perfect!

My second go to Tinted Moisturizer is by famed MakeUp Queen, Laura Mercier... need i say more!  This moisturizing formula hydrates the skin, softening and erasing fine, dry lines.  The color is natural and dewy, and we lurve us some dewy skin ladies. This awarding winning product also features an antioxidant vitamin complex that protects skin from aggressive environmental harm.  Laura Mercier never fails to impress!

L'OREAL VOLUMINOUS MASCARA.

I am ALWAYS getting asked for recommendations as to what STAPLE items are a must have for every person's MakeUp kit. My answer today... L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara.

This mascara is in every Professional MakeUp Artist's kit - if not every, then I guarantee you 99%! The price is excellent - $7.50, no complaints here and it gives the most amazing thickness, separation and length in just two coats. There is no 'clumping' and eye lashes remain soft and free of that ugly 'stiff and brittle' look... you know what I am talking about right? Not a good look at all!

I truly believe that there is no need to spend $25 on a mascara when you can get such dramatic results using a product at a third of the price.

Do yourself a favor and try this mascara TODAY! You will be a devotee for life - that I can guarantee!
