My name is Kristen and I started this blog because I have been a product junkie for many years. It's trial and error finding the right ones that work the best so I thought I'd lend out my opinion on some of my favorites ! Enjoy

SENSI CLEAR CLEANSER
Having clear skin is not always the easiest thing to achieve, fortunately after years of using alcohol, Noxzema, oxy pads and the most drying of products which at the time I thought was really good for my skin, I found Sensi Clear. I seen it one day while I was watching the Janice Dickinson reality show ( the model show) Sensi Clear had come to her modeling agency in LA and wanted to use her models that had acne prone skin to try out the product on them to see how well it works. I figured if Janice Dickinson can have them on her show and trust they will see results then I can give it a try.
I went to the website and signed up for the trial period and let me tell you how happy I was that I did, the product last a very long time (about 2 months) I have been using it for almost a year now and after 3 weeks I could see instant results. I have not used anything since although it is good to changed every few months, but I was really satisfied with the product I am still using it. Although my skin looks 10 times better, I still feel as though I am the girl with bad skin and when I talk to my clients and refer to my skin as "BAD" they give me a funny look and said "your skin looks great" I wish I could record them every time they said that so I could send it to the company!.
I do have oily skin and I also having some permanent scaring, which is now permanent from all the tanning I have done in my life to eliminate my acne, but i can say that I will leave the house without make up and that is something I never thought I would do, so thanks to sensi clear and I hope this helps anyone in my situation..

IMATS PASADENA
I am back home from my first trip to the International Makeup Artist Trade Show, unfortunately I did not get to see any of the speakers or go to any of the classes as my boyfriend was the one to come with me and I did not want to bore him to death. hhaha but I hope to be living in LA as of this January and will attend next years show.
For my first show I was like a kid in a candy store on christmas morning! I wanted to be everywhere at once and take the whole convention home with me!! I felt like i needed to buy everything at the show, which anyone who loves makeup would easily be able to do the same, but there were a few things I had in mind that I wanted to get. Including palettes from Auraline Beauty http://www.auralinebeauty.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
which I love and I'm so happy to have them, ( concealer, cream to powder foundation).
I got tons of info on makeup schools which I hope to attend next year. I also got the shimmery 88 palette and I am super excited to use, I have to say thanks to the girl who was shopping next to me who talked me into getting it because it was so great.!!
Overall I enjoyed my first show and hope to attend more as my career develops.!
I just seen on another blog that marlena was at the show and I wish I could have met her, she is amazing at what she does. But I did get to see maxi which was pretty cool!
I also which I felt bad I kind of attacked him but I was so excited was petrilude from you tube

makeup at a young age
Image by cybertoad via Flickr
I am only 25 and growing up I loved to watch my mom put on her makeup. This was during the 80s so there was nothing but pink lipstick blue eyeshadow some pink blush and black mascara. I loved anything where I could use my imagination and be creative at a young age and as I got older I used my craft to become a hairstylist and a makeup artist. 15 years later makeup has evolved into a world of it's own with many more options than your 80s makeup! As I got older I started experimenting with makeup on my own, finding my own little tricks and techniques and I loved what you could do with makeup, very simple or dramatic as can be. It's a great talent to have and a great form of expression!!
