I (not so) Secretly (anymore) Heart Selena Gomez

I think Selena Gomez is cute as a button.  I know many of you probably think she’s just another Disney tart-lette (If you even know who she is), but, I think she’s totally adorbs.  PLUS she’s allegedly (and by allegedly I mean according to Wikipedia) named after the singer Selena – Which makes me love her even more.

Anyway, here she is at last nights Teen Choice Awards.  I don’t love the hair – A bit too prom-ish for me…But since she’s only 17 I suppose that makes her hair completely age appropriate, and so I’ll give it a pass.

But I love (and I mean LOVE) her make-up.  It’s fresh, it’s flirty…It’s perfect.

She happens to be wearing Dew Drenched Moisturlicous Lip Color in Skinny Dip from Mark.  If you like it, cop it (It’s only 6 bucks!).

M.A.C and Milk Does the Body Good

I stole this from a friend via facebook. It’s a good, quick read – And since it’s ‘official’ debut is only one month away – You should get in the know if you aren’t already.

What to expect at M.A.C and Milk Fashion Week.

My Make-up: Public School. Jersey City, NJ.

I’ve been learning how to skateboard.

So far so good, although I must admit it’s definitely a slow process. I’m getting more comfortable with it every day, but I can’t go THAT fast yet and I can only turn to the left – And even my left turns are still a bit wonky. Don’t even get me started on my right side turns. That’s a disaster and I usually just jump off and kick the deck to the right and jump back on. Eh…Baby steps.

So anyway, I’m out skating around the other day and my roommate and I go right pass this super cute store called Public School. It’s full of crazy kicks and really dope t-shirts – Definitely my kind of store

Last night (sans skateboard) we stepped out for a little JC jumpie at the store and I copped the cutest pair of sneakers from Greedy Genius!  I love them so much that after I put them on for this photo, I wore them out of the store.

Now, as You may know – We’ve been having a really random heat wave around here.  90 degrees in April is really weird and not even close to normal, and it was hot last night.  Normally when it’s super hot I don’t like to wear too much makeup, but my skin is really angry at the heat that came on all fast and furious – And I have some weirdo prickly heat rash all over my face.  I love the heat, and usually I’m very pro inferno…But, I was feeling a little awkies stepping out with that kind of a face sitch last night – Especially since I knew Mel would be there taking photos (He took the one featured on the left).

Thank the make-up Gods for Bare Minerals…I did a heavy coating of that stuff all over my face (F the swirl, tap and buff instructions – I popped the top off of this baby and dunked my brush in until I covered it with product), and in pictures you cant even tell my face was a red bumpy mess.  The great thing about BE is that it’s an amazing product for sensitive skin and didn’t  further irritate my skin even when it was in a state of crisis.

I’m also wearing Benetint, with a bit of apricot blush from Rimmel on my cheeks;  Posie Tint on my lips with a Bonnie Bell Lip Smacker over it; BadGal Eyeliner applied with a really heavy hand and then smushed around to give a smudgy/smokey look on my eyes; Plus 3 or 4 coats of Avon Supershock Mascara (This stuff is good).

Joey Pero Record Release!

Last week I had the pleasure of turning out to support my friend and neighbor Joey Pero to celebrate the release of his debut jazz album ‘Resonance.’

At a soiree hosted by Resonance Music Group, Veuve Clicquot, and my client ‘Rogan’ – Joey gave a fabulous performance that showcased his amazing talent on the trumpet.

Here’s my roommate, Lindsay, (she’s the one in the fierce leather mini skirt!) – With flawless skin airbrushed by me!

Lindsay wanted a ‘no make-up’ look, and airbrushed foundation created using Temptu aqua make-up was the perfect application technique to achieve the effortless look.

Check out Joey’s new blog, as well as his record – Available for purchase on itunes!
