I LOVE vintage shopping. Even more so I love doing it with my partner in crime Heather- owner of Vavoom Pinups www.vavoompinups.com. So when the Randolph Vintage Market invited Vavoom to do a pop up booth at the February market how could we resist?! Sara and I did a Vavoom hair and makeup transformation on a VP client live then Heather shot her in various outfits throughout the day while we all talked to guests and handed out cards. It was a great day to meet fans and future clients and of course get a little shopping in! Check out IG and Facebook for all the photos!

So news from headquarters: I love to invite artists over to play with new products, share products, tips, tricks, etc. Learning something every day is the key to artistic growth. So recently Mary and I stumbled upon the website for some mini airbrush machines that we saw in action at this spring's Makeup Show. They are palm sized compressors from Dinair. So we checked it out and they are perfectly sized for all our one gal jobs but also perfect for personal use! Whenever we airbrush anyone they always say that they wish they could do it at home. Well Dinair makes that a possibility. www.airbrushmakeup.com Our MAIN machines are from the professional line at Temptu. They also make a consumer machine to use on yourself. And frankly theirs is even easier! That one is available at Sephora or www.temptu.com ENJOY! Kenmore Live Studios has a cool new show called Bridal Wave! Today's show was about wedding photography. Hosted by Christy of Junebug Weddings- she interviewed Bob Davis of Bob and Dawn Davis Photography and Candice Cusic of Candice Cusic Photography. I did the makeup for Christy and Candice before the show!! http://www.livestream.com/kenmorelivestudio This morning I had the pleasure of doing makeup for the beautiful Candice Cusic who I have raved about before along with Christy Weber from Junebug Weddings www.junebugweddings.com. Check it out- great resource and inspiration to brides to be! Christy will be interviewing Candice and Bob Davis regarding wedding photography at the Kenmore Live studio! Just an FYI to all you fellow makeup junkies: Hautelook always features great cosmetics brands at deeply discounted prices. Some favorites I have recently seen: Crown Brushes, NYX and Face Atelier.
