“Glaminar” Makeup Seminar

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

I can’t believe it’s already been a month…how time flies! I am finally blogging about my experience at the “Glaminar” with Kandee Johnson that I attended on August 14th..and what a great time it was! She is so adorable in her Youtube videos and even more likable in person. It really was an honor to meet her, along with a whole bunch of makeup-loving girls! I walked away with a “Makeup Bootcamp” & “Pro Makeup Artist” certification, handful of makeup samples and an amazing Zuca makeup bag!

So I thought it would be fun to share a few makeup tips and secrets that she shared with us that you might find really useful too!

*Loreal True Match foundation is a great quality drug-store brand of makeup (W4 Natural Beige seems to look great on most!)

*Makeup Forever foundation is a great quality specialty line of makeup

*Wrap makeup sponge in tissue and dab on the face after applying the foundation to absorb any left over oils (more…)

I tried every kind of acne body scrub, acne body lotion, acne pads, etc…and nothing was helping me! I have been using this product for over a week now and no new outbreaks have showed up and the redness/scars that were forming from the past few months, have been slowly diminishing! Also, no dryness! (more…)
