the end of summer

I meant to type this earlier, but i didn't save it so here is a short and sweet recap of the orange county fair.  The fair is one of my favorite places to go during the summer to people watch and see what new and outrageous / disgusting food choices there are.  i tried a candy apple for the first time (not awesome) and a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  I love peanut butter and jellies BUT this was disgusting and looked like a round mound of brown.
Hay,

Love in the Mail

Today i got home from work and had two packages on my door step.  generally speaking getting stuff in the mail is always fun when you have bought something and are waiting for it, but today it was a surprise!  

My first gift was from my beautiful, fun, loving, friend Leah!!! she is my tell it as it is go to sister.  Always have a really insightful outlook and perspective.  She bought me A Guided Journal Captivating: Unraveling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge.  I  can't wait to crack it open.

My First Makeup Tutorial on YouTube!!!!

I am so blessed to go to Paul Mitchell the School Costa Mesa and I had the opportunity to enter a contest with CAO Cosmetics to film a makeup tutorial using their amazing products!  I have always wanted to start filming tutorials, but was too scared to.  I have to say it was a ton harder than I imagined.  Props go out to all the YouTube gurus out there, because it is hard to talk the entire time!!!

The look that I chose to do was a modern twist on the always classy Pin-Up look.  My beautiful friend Mel was my model and my dear friend Ronnie filmed it for me.  I also had Kwinn pop in and gave moral support half way through it. 

The founder of CAO was a guest speaker at our school and I unfortunately was not able to meet him, but I am lucky enough to have their basic makeup kit!!! It is the perfect starter kit for anyone that wants to start doing makeup or wants for themselves.  My favorite part of the kit is the basic concealer pallet.  To the untrained eye it may appear that there are tons more colors than you would think about using, BUT I show you how to use all of them in my video!
Here are the links to the stuff I used:
Brushes: All of these can be found in the Basic Brush set
Brush 116
Brush 119
Brush 109
Brush 102
Brush 114
Brush 100
