New season new ad!

Well now that summer is almost here soon it will be fall, and that means bridal ad season for me. It has almost been a full year that I have ran an ad with Metro Detroit Bride Mag this is my second ad with the beautiful model Shelbi, hairdresser Meatta Berry, and photographer/stylist Gosden of GVPStudio2.

It Takes Two!

I am happy to announce to all of my future brides that I now am teamed up with hairstylist Meatta Berry.  Meatta Berry has been doing hair for 15 years and specializes in Editorial, Fashion, Commercial, and Weddings she also is a pro with extensions.   We will be offering services as a team to brides and their bridal party that want the best of both worlds.  So brides if you want to look like you have just stepped out of the latest fashion magazines we are your team.  For brides who use Shalonda A and Meatta Berry special rates will apply!  Our joint venture is optional we also offer our services separately if you just want hair or makeup as well.

Sleek "Good Girl" Palette

As I promised I am going to do a look with each Sleek palette for review and I worked with the "Good Girl" Palette.  If you remember from my other haul post Sleek is a UK makeup brand that I fell in love with on YouTube.  If you are interested in seeing more you can go to http://www.sleekmakeup.com/ the makeup is inexpensive  $10.00 (but the shipping a little high $13.50 but if you get a lot of products it is still 13.50 so that is ok).   Here are photos of before and after photos of Melanie (my model).

What I used for eyes only

 I based the eye with NYX white shadow base  From the "Good Girl" palette I used Cupcake and Pink Punch (Lid) in the crease I used Candy Floss on the brow bone I used Ambre Nude from Bourjois on the cheeks I used Cupcake as well.

I really loved the pigmentation and they are really smooth!  I really can't say anything bad about the shadows I am really happy I got them, you can use them as shadows or even a highlighter (with lighter colors) or even a blush!   I feel that sleek is a really good buy and I just ordered more!!! can't wait more reviews to come!
