Happy 4th of July to all my US friends as well! :)<br /><br />It can sometimes take a long while for me to get photos back from weddings that I do, so when I get an email directly from a photographer with photos... I jump on the chance to share!!! <br />Thank you so much Denise from C'est Chic Photography (www.cestchicphoto.com)for sending me these gorgeous photos! :)<br /><br />Teresa is absolutely stunning! She and her entire bridal party were a blast to work with. <br />Vicki (www.teeze.ca) and I arrived for hair and makeup @ 6am so we could keep these lovely ladies on schedule... and here is the result :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNT7d24qAHFitHueMLGIG32bYx5uGNQy3QTbSrkzvH9FDUHuzlk7crlmeGhKV4Lan8XOVDPE8jgCqsjMbJ0LRatBg5JSX_7DwF5ML-EOz0yq6_BFbnDH3LMp4a08R2P3tCDq3b6RsF5U/s1600/mua_00002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNT7d24qAHFitHueMLGIG32bYx5uGNQy3QTbSrkzvH9FDUHuzlk7crlmeGhKV4Lan8XOVDPE8jgCqsjMbJ0LRatBg5JSX_7DwF5ML-EOz0yq6_BFbnDH3LMp4a08R2P3tCDq3b6RsF5U/s400/mua_00002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624060379201420034" border="0"></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7-RVUN9Cky9Y_s5O59PijlwRjysugymC8Jk1OPruCIJqVeAK5n2Kr-juXdjjeZLxrlt0JM7JPnWZnNvuSsrg2O-_0t4Z_yD3oEYdIP90gsR9ICOTda1DY0oyu9WTH8MpVgmT0BCw_TSU/s1600/mua_00003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7-RVUN9Cky9Y_s5O59PijlwRjysugymC8Jk1OPruCIJqVeAK5n2Kr-juXdjjeZLxrlt0JM7JPnWZnNvuSsrg2O-_0t4Z_yD3oEYdIP90gsR9ICOTda1DY0oyu9WTH8MpVgmT0BCw_TSU/s400/mua_00003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624060247524841874" border="0"></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5BI05SmDh78-X6cF4ZYWGt4aMyIVrT07eJwZTFN8u8x32Q3_UXautL6DlTycdTURDl3YkAMhdkt2RBZUYHmFrTTFA5l3_CK0914pXsr3ok0g34L3jnQRpxUGAtD27lCXnNbwh27eD2U0/s1600/mua_00004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5BI05SmDh78-X6cF4ZYWGt4aMyIVrT07eJwZTFN8u8x32Q3_UXautL6DlTycdTURDl3YkAMhdkt2RBZUYHmFrTTFA5l3_CK0914pXsr3ok0g34L3jnQRpxUGAtD27lCXnNbwh27eD2U0/s400/mua_00004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624059990965386434" border="0"></a><br /><br />And there's the happy couple :)<br /><br />Again, big thank yous to Denise for providing me with these beautiful images and to Vicki for, once again, being an amazing stylist and my partner in crime lol<br /><br />Have a fabulous day!!!<br /><br />Hugs...

Hopefully I'll have pics up shortly :)<br /></div><br /><div align="left">The Targeted Line and Pore primer is a good solid product. It works just as well as similar products in the same price range. <br />The eye shadows are all satin finishes and blend beautifully! I LOVE the champagne colour and pewter grey is stunning! The brush that comes with the kit is a decent crease brush.<br />I have now become a big fan of the Limitless Eyeliner (it's super smooth going on and comes with a sharpener on the end :), I wouldn't normally choose this "golden ivy" colour but it"s quickly becoming one of my faves for a classic Bridal look.<br />Speaking of classic bridal, the "Pink Sugar" lipgloss is the perfect colour. It looks much brighter than it actually is and has a little hint of sparkle... very pretty!</div><br /><div align="left">The Fusion Soft Lights in "Baked Starburst" is beautiful for that "dewy" J-Lo look but because it's so shimmery I prefer to use it as a highlighter for cheeks, nose and right above the eyebrow. You're definitely going to get a "Miami Glow" look with this one! ;)</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Now... onto the "Full Exposure" Mascara!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvuMlrOosWuNl7FUuBkjueuEIcQMKtiUikxLMpn4rkCI9vhTbFogTbMnPyz7t2B9EJXoMFjx4nBJy0FRseGHXjtL-KG_BWNIJwt5Ie3j4Qh_GUC2NSaFgTSlijBj93wm7ETesfJdffGp4/s1600/smash+masc.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615510172574561074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvuMlrOosWuNl7FUuBkjueuEIcQMKtiUikxLMpn4rkCI9vhTbFogTbMnPyz7t2B9EJXoMFjx4nBJy0FRseGHXjtL-KG_BWNIJwt5Ie3j4Qh_GUC2NSaFgTSlijBj93wm7ETesfJdffGp4/s400/smash+masc.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;">I am a bit of a mascara hooch lol... so spending $22cdn on mascara isn't a huge deal for me...

This concern is that they don't want to look too "made up". This can be very scary for brides who don't wear a lot, or sometimes any makeup on a regular basis. Why, all of a sudden, would you cake on a ton of makeup and colour to look completely different on your wedding day?</div><div>The last thing you want is for your groom not to recognize you walking down the isle! lol</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNQC1YDX0r2gJlKB05QhFz0YvII-EHvwdy2t-ln7IsFNq59PhNk4RVqzq3BVH3pvsu8-Sq7WGOD4HJ1aYQYWdofggJCv_t8rSKgFe_0ASbNUjN-YR4Yf45s7cgIyZ_wC_fV5UBYUJLSg/s1600/62327_10150293113950010_905075009_14860409_1146298_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNQC1YDX0r2gJlKB05QhFz0YvII-EHvwdy2t-ln7IsFNq59PhNk4RVqzq3BVH3pvsu8-Sq7WGOD4HJ1aYQYWdofggJCv_t8rSKgFe_0ASbNUjN-YR4Yf45s7cgIyZ_wC_fV5UBYUJLSg/s400/62327_10150293113950010_905075009_14860409_1146298_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537970451812907746" /></a>With Nancy, my goal was to give her a look that enhanced her natural beauty. I stayed very neutral with her colour pallet, using champagne, and earthy browns on the eyes and peach cheeks and lips. <div>The most important thing to remember for any bride is that regardless of the amount of makeup you usually wear, a <b>professional </b>makeup artist will be able to bridge the gap between the look you want and the type of "camera ready" application necessary for the most photographed day of your life! </div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lJkycP6OZNluQbZ59v22_0GKO4NjoVlIkKrnEzOVln3shyphenhyphen0p7mzctdb1ZBO-Z9Hu1DOPCL_ub2Bt23VnY-vKhmE4IfCQB1rcSB3zhegF4UROZHOPIBdpijd5H8fwdtCd3MV-JfUekqs/s1600/61046_10150293114635010_905075009_14860438_2587725_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lJkycP6OZNluQbZ59v22_0GKO4NjoVlIkKrnEzOVln3shyphenhyphen0p7mzctdb1ZBO-Z9Hu1DOPCL_ub2Bt23VnY-vKhmE4IfCQB1rcSB3zhegF4UROZHOPIBdpijd5H8fwdtCd3MV-JfUekqs/s400/61046_10150293114635010_905075009_14860438_2587725_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537970370703074834" /></a>I absolutely LOVE this photo of Nancy and her Hubby Bill... thanks to <a href="http://www.nbphotos.ca">"my" Nancy of nbphotos</a> <div>for these stunning images!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hugs and Happiness Always....
