MIA!! & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

First off I wanted to say sorry guys, I've been MIA! I've been buzy working on business since this is our most busiest time of the year. Most of you know I own a graphic design business with my Tulio. Anyway, with the holiday and work, I haven't had much time for anything. But look out, I will be posting hopefully this week, if not Saturday for sure.

Thank you for all those who have stopped by, please let me know if you have any questions! SAVE me on twitter so you can reach me faster!

I want to thank everyone who has supported me, and my blog and what I do with my love of makeup. It really means a lot to me knowing such great people I've met, from all over. I have this huge opportunity to meet people from all over that most people couldn't dream of doing. I have met talented men and women in this field and appreciate all of you.

I just wanted to let you know that, in 2010, let's all breathe a lil easier, don't sweat the small stuff and just LIVE! LIVE our own lives, and not worry about others..focus on the positive and never let anyone bring you down. This is your life... it's yours.. forget about the people who don't support you.. just know I do! Whatever you love to do, keep doing it..Happy New Years and may all your dreams be possible this new year.

<3 Happy NEW YEAR!

Holiday Party look featuring Brenda & I

First of all, isn't my friend beautiful!! Uhhh can you say jealous much? lol her skin is flawless, I had to use no liquid foundation, just concealer, and a buff of powder. AND her brows! sooo nice! But ughhh.. good genes help! You should see her mother! she looks like 30 years old! I was fortunate to get long lashes but pores of comet holes lmao!! anyway...

As you all know, I do schedule appointments for makeup jobs for all types of events. My girl friend Brenda was going to a Holiday party for her work and wanted to look extra special.

She bought this dress ( But her's was sleeveless) from Torrid. It was so cute! So I wanted to pair of a hot Magenta lip to stick out from the black and white. I wanted to do more of a pink bright lip, then a red lip. I figured many girls would be doing a red lip, but I still wanted her to stand out. I still gave her the option to try both, but in the end we both knew the hot magenta lip was it! I also didn't want her to apply the lipstick (I'm wearing below) till she got there. I like to have my clients have a fresh lip, if they can when they show up to the event. So that's why we don't have a picture of her in the hot lip. I did the same look that day so I could have a try and fell in love with the colors I used on her.I also did her eyeshadow a light color to focus more on the hot lip.

I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions or booking hit me up at queenbmakeup@gmail.com

Christmas Tutorial feat. Momma G!! (Recreation)

Momma G aka Angeec03 from Youtube asked the other day if she could do a tutorial based on a look I did recently for a Christmas inspired look. Her looks are always amazing, and her blending is awesome!

I was so honored to have her do it, since I've been her fan & subscriber since she started doing Youtube tutorials. She is talented and has a beautiful family. I love her more for showing that side of her as well, and she keeps it honest which is thumbs up for me! I also like the fact she uses all types of products, and not just sticks to higher end items. I suggest you check her out if you didn't, she is also a Bay Area native just like me!

Exposed Organics Review & Swatches (Vegan & Affordable!)

I recently got the chance to try Exposed Organics. I am never paid for my honest reviews. I only received the products for my review.

I went to look at the site, and was surprised to see her wide range of products. After being fed up from companies with so-called "organic" items. They started from shampoo to lip gloss, all mixed and made from their own kitchen! I must say I was quite impressed with the pigmentation of the eye shadows for being Vegan!

I received 10 eye dusts and a eyeshadow transformer. If you have no clue what a eyeshadow transfer does lol well most don't, so don't feel bad! This product allows you to make any eye dust into a wet liner, or foiled lid. Foiled means to wet the shadow and apply it to make it more pigmented and vibrant. It can be tricky, so I only tend to do it with shadows I know will hold up well. These do! I also really like the applicator squeeze bottle it's in. It makes a difference, and helps control how much you would like to use. It works well with your make up brushes and applies easy.

Each eye dust color is as vibrant as it is in it's jar. I can't get over how much you get for only $4.99 I mean a whole 7 grams! Really a great deal and very affordable. I am always looking for great make up for those with tight budgets.. like myself! lol but all of them are very easy to apply. The only eye dust I can see having "personal" issues is the red matte pigment "Ruby's Secret". I always have issues with matte pigments, since they are tricky to apply. I do find however if you place on top of eyeshadow it makes the matte shadow apply easier. Just because I said it's not easy to apply, does not say that this shadow is not super pigmented and gorgeous.. because it is!


I have two looks I did this weekend with two friends who came over (pictured above). I used these eye dusts both wet & dry and they applied like a dream! They both were impressed with the colors, and kept looking at their lids! lol I will be posting next their eyeshadow looks!

Serayge, is a gorgeous mint green I've been looking for!! I swear I've been looking for a color like this.. and so glad I received it. Alexisescence is a gorgeous blue light violet color that has this iridescent duo tone that is sooo beautiful. You'll know how much I love iridescent eye shadows. Of of them are great and it's very hard to pick out my favorites. I'm sure you can see why!

I hope you can check out this vegan company and check out some of their products. Also, if you have bought from them, please let me know your thoughts below! I hope you enjoy the swatches and looks I have coming up featuring this cosmetics line.

Eye Dust (7 grams!) only $4.99!
Nectar "Eye shadow transformer" ( .5 oz!) only $4.99!
