Girls Night In....with Makeup and Martinis!




October is fast approaching and I have finished up most of my weddings for the season. Two left to go and then it's time to focus on in-home makeup parties. It's a great way to get your girlfriends together for a night in. I love this time of year for this type of gathering. An easy way to pick up new tips and tricks for your up-coming Holiday parties and try a more dramatic look or simply just re-polish your everyday look. I hosted a Makeup party in my studio last winter the music was pumping the martinis flowing and of course the Makeup! Book yours today! Contact me through my website at www.vavoommakeup.com

I've attached a few pictures from that party...Looks fun doesn't it?

Vodka...Cocktail or Toner?



As I cleaned out my studio I came across some of my favorite beauty home remedies....have a look, give them a try! I've tried all of these and have gotten some great results.

1. Vodka and Lemon Toner - mix 1/4 cup of vodka and the juice from 1 lemon. Pat on face, neck and chest with cotton pad. Do not rub. No need to rinse. It will evaporate and leave tired skin looking toned. Mix a bit extra and add sugar to taste for a well deserved cocktail! YUMMY!

2. Honey and Baby Oil - combined and rubbed on the body will make it incredibly soft. Rinse off before leaving the tub!

3. Herbal Wraps - so easy to do and similar to expensive spa treatments. Mix 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice, 2 t. of dried thyme and one cup of olive oil. Work in a circular motion into the thigh, butt and hip areas, cover with plastic wrap (this will lock in the heat created from your body). Relax for 15 minutes. Remove wrap and rinse. O'La'La!

4. Cucumbers - peel and crush 1/4 cucumber into a pulp and dab all over face and neck. Great for oily skin and to unclog pores.
