Soleil Tan de Chanel
Offering your skin a natural glow is a must this summer as subtle tanned, radiant skin is a magnet for attention. Chanel's Soleil Tan moisturizing powder can give your skin that subtle enhancer to create the illusion of a perfect, makeup free skin that's just glowing beauty. Four hues are gorgeously mixed on application so you can look amazing.

Les Vernis
No look is complete without a fabulous manicure, and the nail varnishes in Chanel's vision have been designed to flawlessly underline femininity and create a warm feeling that is simply enchanting. Three fabulous hues which pass from nude to bright, offer you the chance to create lovely simple or multi-colored nail art designs which complete your look. The nail polishes are available in the following hues:
 
  • Mimosa - a lovely warm lemon yellow
  • Beige Petale - a feminine beige rose
  • Morning Rose - a lovely rose hue 

     
 

*** MAKEUP TOOLS SPOTLIGHT - Bdellium Tools ***

 
 
The terms "VEGAN" or "SUSTAINABLE" "ECO-Friendly" are very popular - people are more discerning of what products they choose to purchase - for many reasons.  Synthetic brushes have come a LONG way in the past year or so - due to several companies on the market answering that demand.  Bdellium Tools  makes both hand made, natural hair and synthetic professional makeup artist brushes - their series:  Maestro, Studio, Travel, Green Bambu.  
 
I chose the Green Bambu Series and have to say they are incredibly SOFT and very dense.  Not only is their color unusual, but also appeals asthetically and looks FRESH.  They impressed me immediately when I felt them in my hand and moreso when I applied makeup on my own face.  SUPER SOFT!  Travel size - about an inch smaller than your regular pro brush length - they are not miniature brushes - they are just shortened handles - same size brush head.  Check out their video  REVIEWS .  These are going to fly out the door once words gets around...
 
 
I LOVE THESE VEGAN BRUSHES!

SUMMER BEAUTY 2011 - Mascara

NASHVILLE BRIDAL MAKEUP
 
Racoon Eyes?  No need to go without mascara for the summer!  So many choices for your lashes - and for summer - the LAST thing you want during the swealtering heat are racoon eyes - so my pick if waterproof all the way.  Summer is also a great time to try different colors for fun - YSL has that covered. 
Here we have a few picks to try - and it's always adviseable to mix your mascaras should you need volume AND length.  Start with a volumizing mascara and top it off with a 2nd coat of waterproof lengthening formula - you can use different lines, as well.  Just don't forget the waterproof makeup remover!

Wedding MUSIC Video? Why not?!

NASHVILLE BRIDAL MAKEUP
 
 
I just saw this wild wedding music video on Junebug Weddings site and had to share it with you all!  Many of you brides are considering a videographer for your wedding - and it's really a big thing now - and probably will continue to be in the future too.  Well this isn't just any video - this is a major choreographed wedding music video to the Black Eyed Peas song "The Time (Dirty Bit)" including the entire wedding party - shot during their wedding of course.   The music is a little unconventional maybe - your music and style can easily be incorporated. 
 
All the more reason to have great makeup and hair, right?  ;) 
 
This amazing wedding planner went above and beyond, I'd say!   Without further ado:
