Would You Like Some DiY Beauty Gift Inspiration?
Woo hoo - how is your Cyber Monday going? Mine was doin' pretty darn good until that moment when I have been watching Amazon ALL morning long. Just waiting for the LEGO Apollo Saturn V kit to go on sale. It did. In the seconds it took for me to click put into cart someone else bought it.
So, maybe there was one? One in all of internet land? Really? I will still buy it, but I doubt I will get it for $78 and it's normally about $119. Rawr! So mad.
But I digress. Overall the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was wonderful! Cheers to yours being so as well!
Thank you for tuning in today! This video is for those who need some inspiration for making diy beauty gifts!

SHOP SMALL Saturday - Enjoy These Deals!
Happy Shop Small Saturday! I love this day of the year when it comes to shopping and the melee that ensues around Black Friday - I do not partake!
I do all of my shopping online and even when it comes to Shop Small Saturday, I do my shopping online. Why? Because I live in a rural area and don't like going into town unless it's mandatory. Also because I have such a mega commute for work, I just don't drive if I don't have to.
So today on Shop Small Saturday - look for this blue sticker and help support the dreams of someone working a small business!
And - please consider ordering online from businesses that have been affected by the wildfires in California, like Neptune's Net. Oh how I love to eat here! When I leave work in Burbank, if at all possible, I drive over the wine country hills of Calabassas through the canyon and down to the beautiful Pacific ocean and then turn right, go up the PCH about 5 miles and look to the right.
There is Neptune's Net, a small family owned eatery that has been there for decades. Until now - the building is still there though they are without power! The wildfire came right up to the edge of their building yet they were spared! If you could, would you order something from their website? A gift card, key chain, tshirt, anything will help! It keeps them in business while APS is working to get the power back on.
Use this link here https://neptunesnet.com/products
Consider shopping J Paul Skincare online and get a big discount while also supporting an independent family owned business! I've tried the skincare and love the shave cream filled triple blade razor for travel!

This holiday weekend, instead of buying the separate $47 personal one on one makeup lesson, get it free this weekend only when you shop small!

Luster Premium White PRO LIGHT Dental Whitening System - live demo video
Happy Monday!
How is your month of May going? I can tell you that mine is going by fast! School has been out for two weeks and I have already heard "I'm bored" more than I care to comment.
What happened to the good ol' days of "go play outside" or "go discover something new in your old toys"!
Which brings me to today's live demo video of the newly repackaged Luster Premium White PRO LIGHT Dental Whitening System.
This easy to use 3 piece kit is available at Walmart, online at Amazon and mass retailers nationwide. It really is super easy and you can do more than one application per day if you are cramming in beauty treatments before graduation or your summer wedding.
I received this sample from Luster Premium White, it has a new blue packaging which will look different than their old red packaging if you are looking for it online or in some retail markets.
We tested it live on camera - and honestly, it worked!
This kit is available at Walmart or online at Amazon

How to Get Meghan Markle's Royal Wedding Day look with Hard Candy Cosmetics
Welcome to day 2 of the month of May. Otherwise known as May birthday month since most of my friends have birthdays in May!
I've already got a few gifts and I'm looking forward to what else is in store!
Including, the royal wedding on May 19th of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I watched Diana Spencer become Princess Diana. Then her son William become Duke of Cambridge and now, the youngest Harry is getting married and to an American! I'm so excited!
I have a thought on how Meghan Markle will look for her wedding day. I predict a half up do of hair with long tendrils under the veil. Makeup - definitely going to stay in the trend of her makeup artist Min Min Ma and be simple, classic and clean.
So I've made a video of the look using all drugstore makeup from Hard Candy.
This video is a simple "how to" for getting a royal wedding makeup look using all drugstore makeup - and predominantly Hard Candy cosmetics which is exclusively available at Walmart stores and on Walmart.com
Enjoy - and if you do a Meghan Markle royal wedding makeup look, tag me! I want to see! I just know she is going to stay in the traditional minimal makeup look that her makeup artist Min Min Ma creates.
I love the look and I'm excited to see her at the wedding!
For those who want a more indepth tutorial of doing your own wedding makeup - remember, The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, she did her own! Please check out DiY Bridal Makeup. It's everything I would do if I were there on site of your wedding getting you into your bridal beauty!

Meghan Markle -The Royal Wedding Bridal Makeup Look
Happy Friday! We are on the fast countdown to the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
I remember when Princess Diana, was married. I woke up early to watch! It was such a big deal, and such a fairy tale book story becoming reality and she was beyond beautiful. The gown and that train were a sight to behold!
Rumor has it for Meghan Markle's wedding dress, the British design team Ralph & Russo who designed her engagement photo dress in the picture below. Also, they are having a lemon elder flower cake! I don't know what that is, but I know I want some!
So when it comes to her makeup look for her wedding day - I highly suspect this gorgeous gal will not wear lashes and will not have a highly highlighted contoured face like what is seen in Youtube and Insta makeups.
Kate Middleton did her own bridal makeup for her wedding at Westminster Abbey to Prince William.
Trust me, if a Princess to be can do her own makeup and look flawless, so can you!
Meghan Markle -The Royal Wedding Bridal Makeup Look - I just did a makeup look using department store makeups; Too Faced Cosmetics, Make Up For Ever and butter LONDON on the Makeup University Facebook page, you can see that using this link.
There is a drugstore version in the works for next week! Stay tuned to the Makeup University Facebook page for that.
Finally, if you are a bride on a budget or an " I Do Times Two" bride, maybe a gal getting married on a cruise with a destination wedding - the DiY Bridal Makeup video course with instant access is perfect for preparing you to take control of your bridal day look!
Safely purchase through SamCart and get started today creating the look of your dreams! You can use all your own products or pick up some of my recommendations. There are links in the description of the videos to have easy access for products on Amazon. For just $97, you get instant access to the 19 short videos teaching you a step by step system to getting the same wedding day look I would create if I were on site with you to get you ready for the wedding.
There is also an opportunity to get your top personal questions about your wedding day makeup from me personally. If you would like a one on one coaching session, just use this link! The $47 price pays for itself over and over as you use the technique and tricks you learn from me in your every day makeup looks, getting ready for a date night, going for a professional work photo or doing a family photo sitting. Use this link to claim your personalized bridal makeup video!

Happy summer to you!
I am traveling and what I packed with me is a whole kit and caboodle of Mally Beauty products.
This Perfect Prep poreless primer glow is perfect for brides, professional business head shots or acting head shots.
It's simple to use and wears really well for quite some time-but here's the tip that's helping me: it needs a wee moment of dry down time so your foundation does not slip off if it's a liquid or get patchy if it's a mineral powder.
True, it's possible that I have simply put too much on-but so far, even after blending it down with my foundation brush, it needed just a moment to set up.
I am enjoying mine it's helping keep my skin camera ready in any weather while trekking, traveling and filming. Try some!
