Last week I got a call about a hair and makeup gig for this past Sunday. After getting the details I accepted and came to find out the woman I would be doing hair and makeup for was Gillian McKeith.

She is a Scottish nutritionist, television presenter and writer. She previously hosted You Are What You Eat and Granada Television's Dr Gillian McKeith's Feel Fab Forever in the UK for several series. She writes a weekly column for Reveal magazine and is the author of a number of books about,including You Are What You Eat: The Plan That Will Change Your Life.

I arrived at her suite to be greeted by her oldest daughter. Once we got started she was quite sweet and friendly despite being rushed and feeling overwhelmed with how much she had going on.

I was told they were shooting a corporate video for Danone Yogurt that was to be sent to the UK which was not only interesting but a great credit to my resume.

It was a great experience and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity :)

Onwards & Upwards ;)

Stay Pretty ;)

Personally I'm gonna go with a big fat HELLZ NO on this for 2 reasons...
1) I'm Muslim so bacon ie.pork is outta the question for me.
YES I know this is just bacon flavored but let me explain. Because I have not tried bacon before (ok maybe one time in my childhood by mistake, who knew A&W teen burgers had bacon?) I don't really know the taste of it. Everyone goes on and on about how good it is but meh I choose to turn on my selective hearing at that point!

2) A meat flavored lip balm just sounds EW!

What do you think?
Would you purchase this bacon flavored lip balm?

This past weekend one of my best friends had her engagement party. She had asked me a while ago if I could do her makeup for this event and of course being her BFF and MOH I quickly agreed.

Her dress was a beautiful peach color and she wanted to incorporate some of those shades in her makeup so this is what I came up with. These pics were all taken before mascara as she wanted to do that at the last minute before she left the house.
Doesn't she look hot?!

The party was so much fun and I got the chance to introduce Mr.BF to everyone which was nice :)

There was a beautiful and yummy cake...

Lots of these..

Which lead to a picture like this... Ah well the flowers were stunning huh?!

Its wedding season peeps... im booked for the next 2 weekends with brides and I cant wait ;)

Hope you all had a fab weekend!

Stay Pretty ;)

Have you ever been in a store, taken item to the cash and been charged less than you were supposed to? What did you do? Did you tell the cashier their mistake or just keep quiet?

This has happened to me twice this week...

Bath & Body works is having a sale and it was buy 2 get one free so I'm thinking great I gather my items 2 Fig & Brown Sugar body lotions & 1 Fig & Brown Sugar body pray. I love this scent and its now discontinued. I also picked up their rose blame or whatever its called that can be used on lips, elbows,face & cuticles.

I'm up at the cash and the girl cant find the sku for the sale so she asks the guy to her right and he says oh just punch it in and take off a zero. She does this and lets me know my total is $19.95.....

I know this isnt correct or rather I thought something was up since it didnt quite make sense however I wasnt about to say something I mean what if I was wrong.

After I left I checked the bill and noticed she charged me for ONE and have me TWO free!

Then yesterday I was with Mr.25 and we headed to this flee market near his place and there was a Revlon sale there so I was like hellz yeah lets go! I ended up picking up some transparent pvc bags for my kit and Revlons Bare It All luminzing lotion in 2 colors.
The lotions were 2 for $5 but when I got to the cash the guy only charged me a $1 each...

I felt kinda bad when I left but didn't say anything... truthfully I'm not sure I ever would unless it was a HUGE difference....

What would you do? Would you correct their mistake?

Stay Pretty ;)

So yesterday was my first on film experience and I gotta say it was awesome.
I didn't sleep much the night before because I was going through everything I needed for the shoot over and over...

I got to set at 8am and met the talent & directors who were all really laid back and friendly which in turn relaxed me a bit.

Anyway I'm not allowed to mention the company this ad was for until its launched but here are a few sneak peek pics from behind the scenes.

The look was "corporate".






I worked on the hair and makeup for this shoot so I'm very proud of myself :D

My giveaway ends this Thursday so don't forget to enter if you haven't... GO HERE!

Stay Pretty ;)

Anyway I promised pics of the prom girls who's makeup I did yesterday so here ya go.
Makeup Artist: Far (moi)
Prom Girls: Amy & Jenn G.

They are twins can you believe!
Such sweethearts though... they NEVER wear makeup I was told so this was huge for them. I kept it fairly light but they looked stunning... I wish I was a smart cookie and took before pics... but I wasn't..

Yesterday was a lot of fun but now I'm looking forward to my next gig which is a lingerie photoshoot this Sunday ;) Ill try to get some behind the scenes shots for you voyeurs ;)

On a side note.... If you're going to add me as a friend on Facebook and I don't know you chances are I'm going to click on your profile to see who you are.... If one of the groups you belong to is "Toronto Casual Sex" your ass is getting ignored AND blocked!!! Thanks but NO thanks!

Tomorrow I'm doing prom makeup for twins.... they look nothing alike. One has long dirty blond hair and the other has dark down shoulder length hair with glasses. They are adorable and don't normally wear makeup but want the smokey eye look... this should be fun!

All this prom talk has brought back memories of my own..
The pre-prom party at our friends house,
All the parents snapping pics (I don't think mine were there so I have none lol),
The limo ride with 12 of your closest friends,
My date - oh lord don't even wanna think about him actually....
My dress that ended up showing wayyy too much cleavage cuz nothing can contain these damn things....
The stupid prom queen and king thing... ours was SO fixed and lame!
The after party in the hotel lobby!
The day after brunch....

I'm SO glad those days are behind me... Prom was fun yes and I'm def glad I went but you know... I'm just glad that was then and this is now lol...

Good Monday Morning!

Is today a good day?

Not a bad one for me I gotta say!

I had quite the productive busy weekend...

Fridays date with Mr.25 went really well... However I am taking this one date by date...

Saturday the DrunkBQ wasnt such a drunk one for me... Due to a mix up I had to drive and so no drunkenness for me.. Oh and we never made it to the bar because well.... Rockband got turned on and although I vowed I would never play that game.... I ended up singing to No doubt and Alanis.
ONLY because the music was so loud and no one could hear us (I made my gf sing with me). That and the fact that one of the guys got 0% on the guitar and I figured we couldn't do worse than 0%....
We ended up with 77% for the first song and like 50% for the second lol.

Sunday was my big photoshoot. I had 3 models, 2 female and 1 male, a photographer and a hair stylist and her assistant all at my condo for the shoot. I managed to snap these pics but none of the male model yet so Ill just have to wait for the professional pics to come in.

We spent about 6 hours on the shoot and took well over 1000 pics. I'm super excited but here are some teaser pics that I took with my camera and my crackberry.

Stylist & Makeup Artist: Moi ;) Far
Models: Narges & Mira









Stay Pretty ;)
