It was such a weird/amazing feeling knowing that I was in the same building as the President and that there was a POSSIBILITY I could see him. I didn't though. :-/ Regardless, it's been a wonderful six weeks! Coming up I have many more weddings, I have some amazing shoots happening and I fly to LA in a few weeks to train for Wella!

Elica's curls were in need of a boost. We only trimmed her length but we loosened up her curls so they had freedom to bounce!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tina has very long, beautiful hair but the ends were dry and the layers were heavy. We trimmed an inch off, reworked her layering and, voila, shiny beautiful hair! You can really tell in this before and after because this cut was done on her hair dry. The difference in her hair is not product or styling tools, it's simply cutting!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com01044 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607, USA41.886942 -87.6541009999999699.7314104999999955 -147.41972599999997 74.0424735 -27.888475999999969tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440242299792311241.post-90173503646275230462012-04-15T13:25:00.000-05:002012-04-15T13:25:00.229-05:00Before and After: Samantha.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

With Christmas around the corner I have been hunting for gifts and have stumbled upon some really cool products that I want to add to my wish list and also share with readers! This post is all about lips!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) <b>OCC Lip Tars</b>- According to their product summary, these pucker pigments go on smooth like a gloss and dry like a lipstick! They are only $13/piece and come in 36 shades! I have seen it for sale at Akira in Chicago but you can also pick it up at <a href="http://www.occmakeup.com/" target="_blank">OCC's website</a>! I can't wait to pick some of these up and to use these on a shoot.... or maybe on me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.occmakeup.com/images/ltweb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.occmakeup.com/images/ltweb.jpg" /></a></div>
2) <b>Lime Crime's Opaque Lipstick Collection</b>- If you're not one to go gaga over a gloss but still want super vibrant or off-the-wall colors then maybe you should opt for Lime Crime's wow-ya shades. For $120 you can get 10 shades or you can buy them individually for $16. Not only do they have lipsticks but you will find glosses, eyeshadows and primers on <a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/" target="_blank">Lime Crime's site</a> as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

**3) <b>Kryolan's Lip Rouge Mini Palette in LF</b>- I own this palette and, let me tell you, I LOVE it! It's great for any makeup artist that wants to have a variety of colors in their kit without breaking the bank and it's also wonderful for the personal makeup diva who wants to try a multitude of colors without... well... breaking the bank. Once you figure out what colors you love the most you can buy them in a regular size tube as well. It retails for $32 and comes in 3 different palette tones. Pick it up at <a href="http://CosplaySupplies.com/" target="_blank">CosplaySupplies.com</a>.<br />

**4) NYX Matte Lip Creams- I rave about these to everyone. They're amazing. These creamy, lovely lip tints go on with a wand, like a gloss but stay for hours like a stain and have a satin finish like a lipstick. They come in 11 colors and won't leave you broke because they're only $6! Pick them up at <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/products/lips/lip-gloss/soft-matte-lip-cream" target="_blank">NYX's website</a>!<br />

<br />
1. <i>Dry shampoo</i>. Try a product like Bumble & bumble's dry shampoo. It comes in a variety of colors and can add a subtle hue to your regrowth.<br />
<br />
2.<i> Hair mascara</i>. I actually prefer Anastasia's Brow Gels because I think they look more natural but you can find a variety of hair wands at your local Ulta.<br />
<br />
3. <i>Zig-zag your part</i>. Confuse your friends eyes and they won't notice how long it has been since your last salon visit!<br />
<br />
4. <i>Extra volume</i>. Use hot rollers to give your hair extra height. This way the regrowth will be hidden behind your Texas-style 'do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440242299792311241.post-64585814409115653812011-12-13T13:38:00.002-06:002011-12-13T13:38:48.006-06:00Tearsheet: CS Brides, Page 132.Just saw the new issue of CS Brides. :) Photographer: Heather Talbert, Model: Jade Pruitt, Hair: Shelby George Smith, Makeup: Kerre Berry, Additional Artists: Marla Del Angel and Rebekah Satler!

<br />
There is a new "Ammonia-free" trend in hair color. I just wanted to take a moment to point out that Ammonia-free doesn't necessarily mean damage free. Permanent hair color has to be able to penetrate the hair cuticle and in order to do that you need an alkaline substance. The only FDA approved alkaline substances are Ammonia and Alkanolamine. When hair color is "Ammonia-free" that means it has Alkanolamine in it and Alkanolamine is no less damaging than Ammonia. Cutting your hair every time you get it colored will prevent it from becoming damaged. However, if you are worried about Ammonia or Alkanolamine hair color damaging your hair then your options are to have your hairstylist use a temporary or demi hair color that is not permanent. Keep in mind, you will have to color your hair more often and it may not camouflage all of your grey. The up-side is that you won't have a strong line of demarkation at the root which makes it less noticeable when you have regrowth.<br />
<br />
DO NOT use Henna. It will simply coat your hair and make it feel sticky and waxy.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440242299792311241.post-21845096292766460982011-12-11T18:57:00.001-06:002011-12-11T18:58:50.555-06:00Photoshoot: Brides, Bubbles and Bliss.Here is a shot from the shoot with Carasco Photography a couple of months ago for the Brides, Bubbles and Bliss event in the spring.

It has a natural spf 20 and goes on with a decent amount of coverage considering it is a tinted moisturizer. I have extremely sensitive skin and have had no issues with this product whatsoever. I use it every day and I don't think I will be changing any time soon! This is definitely an investment for a tinted moisturizer, retailing for $42 at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P140906">Sephora</a> but it's huge and will last you a long time. It's definitely worth it!<br />

I have written before about <a href="http://shelbydoeshair.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-difference-between-drugstore-and.html">how I am super anti Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS)</a> and how it is terrible for you. What I haven't mentioned is how I am actually allergic to detergents used in shampoo and how they make my scalp flake like crazy. Growing up I thought I had dandruff so I would use dandruff shampoo but that just made it worse. It has been a constant source of embarrassment. Up until now I have been using Alojoba by Bumble and Bumble. Although my reaction was not as strong to the Alojoba, I still had some flaking. <br />
I recently discovered Deva products. I bought these little guys at Ulta to give them a whirl because their Deva Curl No-Poo (I feel weird saying that name.) is completely detergent free. I used it and I love it and I have NO flaking! Granted, there is zero lather but I don't mind. They also have a low-detergent shampoo called Lo-Poo and a line of every day shampoos for straight haired ladies and gents called Deva Care. I am mainly obsessed with the shampoos but I do really like their gel as well. I have probably never, in the history of doing hair, used a gel on anyone other than when doing finger waves because I hate that crunchy, shellacked look that gel gives. However, when I used Angel it was light and soft and did not look like I had product in my hair. I was really pleasantly surprised. I am hooked and will be sticking with Deva for my own personal use.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you are a hairstylist/makeup artist you have to haul around a lot of <b>stuff</b>. Currently I am using the FatMax case from Stanley. It is so great for organization but not so great for not be bulky. <strike>Yes, I am aware that is a double negative. </strike> Also, lugging it up and down stairs is just a chore and not great on my back. </span><br />

I love them so much. Kryolan started as strictly theatrical makeup in Berlin, Germany in 1945. They are well known for their HD foundations as well as their camouflage face makeup, Dermacolor. I love bought palettes of both of those amazing products in an array of tones but I also purchased their mattifying face primer, Perfect Matt. It is great! It goes on clear and instantaneously gives the skin a matte finish! OBSESSED! I have been using this instead of my MAC primer ever since.<br />
