Meghan Markle -The Royal Wedding Bridal Makeup Look

Hi ya Gorgeous!
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.

Fall skincare with elvis+elvin

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! I love Mondays! Today's post and video feature the brand elvis+elvin skincare. I tried a charcoal bar for cleansing and a dual activation mask that was really interesting.

 This mask though! It comes in two parts and you mix them together in a bowl and then it becomes this super gelatinous consistency that you spread on the skin and let it dry before peeling off. On hind sight, I wish I would have applied this with my mask fan brush.

Watch the video to learn the details and get your own elvis+elvin skincare to help transition from hot sweaty summer skin to dry needs more moisture Fall skin!

Overall, I liked it. If you want to try it, click here: http://amzn.to/2y4pAtl

How To Change Film Distribution - BEARLY Film -

 Hi ya Gorgeous,
So I want to share with you what I have been working on in the film department that has kept me from you and the beauty blog!

I have been developing a short film, documentary and feature film. They are all in various stages of development.

The short film BEARLY is what we are talking about today because it's in production now and will need an expensive DCP file created to show in theaters and the marketing is on the film, not on the distribution.  So  that's where the GoFundMe campaign comes in.

I'm working towards raising funds to finish this project so that I can have a proven success record to studios that showing a short in theater, works! It's a package deal - and it can benefit the customer, the theater, the film maker and the distributor. It's win win win and win. Now, to get this thing finished!

Here's the look book video and link to the campaign. Thank you in advance for any help you may have!

Sandi Krakowski on Entreprenuer with "Why Faith Belongs in the Workplace"

Why Faith Belongs in Your Workplace

BY Sandi Krakowski | January 3, 2014|

I started my first business online with faith being as much a part of my success as a keyboard and Netscape. It was in the '90s, when Overture was the biggest pay per click platform and AOL reminded me hourly, "You've got mail!"

With no clue how to get back into Windows once I accidentally logged out to DOS, asking for help was my normal mode of operation. It still is today. It's my personal belief that faith stretches me to be more, do more and live more than I ever could alone.
Writing PPC ads in Overture was a blast in the '90s. The rush of not knowing who was competing with me was nearly addicting. OK, fine. It was addicting and it was the way I built my first business online. A newsletter and PPC ads...and faith. I had believed that I could do this and God would tell me how.

Many, many years later, millions in profits earned, I'm still bowing my head at my desk asking for help.
"What makes social media sing, God?"
"Show me how to write a headline that will grab their attention."
"Is there a target market I'm missing? Who am I not seeing?"
These are common questions running through my head as I simultaneously manage the Facebook Ad Manager, the Twitter Ad Platform and a few other link exchanges for some of the large brands I write for, as well as the ads I do for my own company.

You'd think the business world would think I was crazy when I began to teach small and large business owners to do the same. Reminding them of good, old fashioned direct response marketing and psychographics, we'd find target markets no one had ever even considered before and it would convert -- sometimes to percentages they had no clue could be their typical ROI. Then I'd pull out the "big guns." The "golden ticket' if you will. No matter who they were I'd encourage them to just have faith that they would reach the right people if serving became their focus more than selling, if loving their customer became the path to profits rather than obsessing about ROI. The highest ROI in this generation is relationship, so I'd encourage them to dig deep. Then I'd tell them to have faith.

"Have faith?" Corporate heads and bigwig executives ask me.
"Yes. Just ask for some help. What do you have to lose? Call me a crackpot later if you think I'm a dork but just give it a try," I'd reply.
And they would.
Ok, just think that one through.

Come on now, let me pull you out of shock, but let's go there. If you were in dire situations and you needed medical help for a child, loved one, relative or what have you, and all paths to solutions were dead ends, what would you do? Yup. Some of you just said it out loud. You'd do what you rarely do at work but what would seem very commonplace in an ICU at a hospital or on a crashing plane as the front of the jet went down. You would pray. You'd have faith.

So I ask my clients to do that. And the results have been amazing. Large companies are now making connection with their clients. Company leaders are actually having fun talking back on Facebook and Twitter. "How did you find people who were so perfect for our company?" I'm asked. Reminding them of the basics and then the "secret sauce" big guns of faith, they laugh and smile, realizing it worked.

I recently got a Christmas card from a woman who told me her story. She was a new widow. "Why didn't God take me?" she said she would often cry out. "I don't want to go on without him" was her hourly struggle. Then, something happened. It wasn't a white light streaming down from heaven crashing through her house with a host of angels and a choir singing, "You're going to make it!" and she lived happily ever after. No, she saw my pink hair in a Facebook ad. Can you believe it? The ones I was praying over.

The card went on to say, "You have been a light to me in a very dark place in my life. I wanted to join my husband after he died. I wanted to know why I was left here alone. Then one day when I was on Facebook, I saw your ad. I was drawn to you and I went to your business page. I started reading your posts. I thank you for your very uplifting messages. You have made a positive impact on my life. I now look forward to each day no matter what it brings. Thank you Sandi. You are truly a blessing to me"

We have quadrupled our company profits in the last year. This one thing I know -- prayer changes things and faith belongs in business.

Faith is not beating someone over the head with your beliefs and trying to get them to convert to your way of thinking. Faith is believing in the unseen and calling those things that are not, as though they are.
I believe that faith works in the workplace. Taking the uncommon path to profits and changing people's lives simultaneously has been my business plan for many years. Faith works.

Brandi Chastain & "Play for a Change" with Merck & Active Family Project

 Hey ya Gorgeous!
Two things are going on today that I need to share with you about.

First-today is World Suicide Prevention Day-for anyone feeling in a deep, dark place, please hold on, wait it out a bit, and most importantly get connected with a friend or family member.

Or, better yet, in my second piece of news, why not get involved in a soccer team?
Playing a sport is a fantastic way to beat the blues.

Today I talked with soccer legend Olympian Brandi Chastain.

It is Youth Soccer Month and to celebrate-for every 100 LIKE's or comments on the Active Family project Facebook page, Merck donates sporting equipment. You could be changing a life with a like!

Ok, I had a few key questions for Ms. Brandi!

1) What's the state of women's soccer today?

"It's soaring! More kids playing soccer than ever! Best part, Moms are the best role model for their kids and having more moms on the field, and being involved has kept kids in soccer and playing for fun and health.".

2. What advice do you have for the kids who want to play but feel embarrassed by being overweight?

"Playing is a celebration of who you are, and who you can be, and I encourage those that are not as fit as they want to be, to start moving in any way. I remember the celebration moment in the Olympics-it just felt so good to be a part of a team, so for kids who want to get fit-start being active any way you can. Get a group of others, grab your grand parents or parents and go for a walk around the block, skip, dribble a ball around the block, do something to move. In a short time you will find that your body is moving better, easier and you are getting faster.  Confidence will come as you get more fit. Remember to make healthy eating choices too!".

3. Tell me more about Merck and Play for a Change? Will this help a mom motivate a kid to get off the video and onto the playing field?

"Yes! Merck is partnering with Active Family Project to raise awareness of a fit lifestyle and the opportunity to get some new sporting equipment into local soccer clubs. I'm passionate about being a mom, and family and a healthy lifestyle, plus playing sports is just fun and can be relaxing for kids after a stressful day at school. This month, is National Soccer Month and the goal is to get more kids playing and exercising to stay fit.".

4. What's next for you?

"I'm excited to be a part of soccer and the next movement of players coming up. I hope to be coaching a youth national team in the near future.".

5. Makeup University readers need to know: what are your top 3 favorite beauty products for playing soccer?

1. Sunscreen!

2. Lipgloss

3. Mascara on occassion

And, sweat. It makes your skin glow when you get your blood pumping and sweat!

Thank you Brandi Chastain, Merck and the Active Family Project for sharing an opportunity to get fit and raise awareness to donate sports equipment too!".
 

***

 If I were picking sunscreen, lipgloss and the occasional mascara for Ms. Brandi, I would pick:

    

$13 online at  www.trustthebum.com
 

$6 at Ulta stores

$8 at Target

Now, onto some details and specifics to get you involved with playing for a change!

###

Merck Consumer Care’s Active Family Project has partnered with US Youth Soccer (USYS) to encourage families to Play For A Change this September. The program promotes being active together as a family through soccer, while also making a positive change in the lives of those less fortunate. 

To celebrate Youth Soccer Month, the Active Family Project will donate a minimum of 75 soccer kits to US Youth Soccer, filled with the equipment needed for kids in underserved communities to play. For every 100 engagements (likes, shares or comments by users) on the Active Family Project Facebook® page, during the month of September, consumers can help enable an additional donation of up to 50 more soccer kits.

Teaming up with the Active Family Project, soccer legend Brandi Chastain – member of the World Cup™ and Olympic-winning women’s soccer teams – is encouraging families to play for a change through media appearances and social media engagement. Chastain will also offer soccer tips on the Active Family Project Activity Finder, at www.activefamilyproject.com, a go-to guide for play and resource for parents looking for some instant solutions to their playtime needs. 

The Play for A Change program with USYS will last through September 30. Tips from experts at USYS about how to be playful through soccer will be highlighted on the Active Family Project Activity Finder and Facebook page. Helpful information on soccer field locations and clubs in the 10 largest U.S. cities will also be featured on the Activity Finder, making it easier for families to join leagues and participate in local games – locations in more cities will roll out this fall. 

The Active Family Project, launched by Merck Consumer Care in May, helps inspire families to live life more fully by spotlighting healthy habits, providing tips and information, and sharing fun family activities, while building a national community of moms dedicated to adopting and promoting an active and healthy lifestyle, for the people they care about most.

* Brandi Denise Chastain (born July 21, 1968) is a professional American soccer defender and midfielder who plays for the team California Storm of Women's Premier Soccer League and is a former member of the United States women's national soccer team. INTERVIEW WITH: Brandi Denise Chastain Chastain has played for San Jose CyberRays of the WUSA and FC Gold Pride of Women's Professional Soccer. She is best known for her game-winning penalty shootout kick against China in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final and her bra-baring celebration afterwards. Amongst her many achievements, Chastain has won two Women's World Cup championships, two Olympic gold medals, and an Olympic silver medal. Sponsor: Merck Consumer Care

And finally, let's relive the epic moment in history of the goal heard round the world during the 1999 Olympics where Brandi kicked the winning goal. Enjoy!

10 Trendy Summer Hairstyles

See the hottest styles that will actually stay put when the temperature starts to rise

This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article After spending 20 minutes perfecting every curl and smoothing down each strand, you step outside to greet the summer breeze -- and your cute hairstyle suddenly poufs into a frizzy mess. Sound familiar? To make sure your hairstyle can stand up to the heat, see these frizz-fighting looks now. Get how-tos

Hello Gorgeous summer beauties!
Have you been out traveling? Or, like me-are you so busy and scheduled that when you leave the house in the morning you pack for 3 events in one day!
So, with all the activity I usually need to touch up my makeup more than once-enter, the make up matte by Katie Corl. She calls it the 'ideal hostess, shower or bridesmaid gift', but I call it the clean way to apply my makeup in a public space. The make up matte can be washed-so if you, like me, need to put it on the bathroom counter so you can spread out your makeup tools and products like a surgeon for quick and easy application- do it!
It's one of my insider makeup pro secrets-lay out your tools and products in a 'use by' order. Thay way you can work efficiently and neatly-plus keep track of what's been used.
I'm enjoying putting my daily touch up products and brushes in the make up matte and then rolling it up and stuffing it in the bag next to the snorkel, numchucks, clean eating lunches, sunscreen, cold waters and my daily fragrance bottle-whichever it is that day!

Ladies, check it out! It's fun and affordable and Katie Corl is right, this makes a great gift!
