Little Miss Oops

Little Miss Oops

A survival kit for every woman’s needs, the Critical Care Kit includes a Miss Oops Pucker Protector, Rescue Sponge, and Pedicure in a Bottle. Three essentials to keep you covered no matter the “oops!”

Miss Oops Pucker Protector’s unique formula of moisturizing petroleum and sunscreen revive your pucker with a gloss so striking you can use it alone or over lipstick. Plus, the minty scent leaves your breath smelling fresh. Miss Oops Pucker Protector – It’s a lip balm. It’s a lip gloss. It’s both!

Deodorant marks on your clothes? Makeup on your favorite shirt or new scarf? No problem, look what I found for us; Miss Oops Rescue Sponges. No need to wet your clothes, just briskly rub the dry sponge against the offending mark and watch it disappear. The patent-pending sponge comes two to a pack and are reusable. It’s like the Mr. Clean “Magic Eraser” for your clothes. Safe to use on all fabrics.

Miss Oops Pedicure in a Bottle is your new best friend! Miss Oops Pedicure in a Bottle actually exfoliates, and then hydrates your feet. The exfoliating component is actually absorbed into the skin. This non-greasy formula can be applied it in the morning and worn with your shoes without that “slippery-greasy” feeling. The combination of glycolic and salicylic acid, shea butter, peppermint, menthol, and lavender leave your feet feeling smooth and smelling pretty – just like you had a pedicure!

Hollywood South Tonight…Mahalia Jackson Theater


Today has already been a crazy day. All of my clients today were for the Grand Opening event tonight at the Mahalia Jackson Theater. The second line is at 6:45 pm and the event starts at 7pm.

I needed to go pick up tickets for Brittany she is bringing her friend Joy. Go get hair supplies for tomorrow photo shoot for the Caribbean Posh Magazine at Jerome and Yolanda Holmes Studio in Metairie.

Tonight is Jordan report card/PTA so I had to go to that before going home to get ready for the event. I hurry and jumped in the shower, do makeup & hair and off Michael and I go on our date.




We arrive at 6:48 pm which is perfect because Michael did not want to see the second line. To say he is a local boy he does not like any of the New Orleans culture. This is why I am surprise that he wanted to come out to tonight’s event. All of the music artists are New Orleans finest, I think he wanted to spend time with me because of my upcoming crazy schedule; The Golden Globe, Sundance Film Festival, VH-1 Pepsi Smash Concert for the Superbowl. The crew was there and so many other faces I do not get to see often.



The Mahalia Jackson Theater looked amazing, they did such a great job. The seats that we were given were boxed seats and Brittany seats were in section 6 not to far from us. I told Michael if we come to see any shows or plays here I only want the box seats because you don’t have to deal with people walking in front of you it’s sectioned off but still on the lower level. Thanks guys for the great seats!!!












Let me say I enjoyed myself so much. All of the artists sung 2 songs and Freddy Omar,Jeremy Davenport & Ingrid Lucia, Marva Wright, Irma Thomas, and Kermit Ruffn had me moving in my seats and when Kermit hit the stage the crowd went crazy. It was a great show…and Michael actually enjoyed himself.

Geisha aroma M Perfume

American born artist Maria McElroy synthesized her love of blending colors and textures with her passion for scent. Blending her fragrances in a bottle is like mixing colors on a palate. The scent becomes pigment, the body becomes the canvas. The nose responds to scent like the eye to color. aroma M is among a handful of artisanal perfumers who today are collectively updating the fragrance industry, and are proud to be known as direction-setters. At aroma M they are ultra-modern in their choice of unexpected ingredients and novel combinations of ingredients, such as lychee with rose, and white chestnut blossom with muguet. The bottles come housed in their own hand-sewn drawstring pouches made from richly textured kimono cloth known as chirimen and adorned with a colorful chrysanthemum design, which is the symbol of the geisha. Scents from aroma M also come in roll-on perfume oils.

Geisha Eau de Parfum. Enhancing the pleasures of the senses even before they are sprayed onto the skin, Aroma M’s three signature eau de parfum—Geisha O-cha, Geisha Nobara-cha, and Geisha Hana-cha—come embellished with exquisite artisinal décor. With their vintage-looking packaging presentation, our trio of geisha perfumes will not only awaken and delight the sense of smell, but also the sense of sight and the sense of touch. In response to numerous clamorous requests, Aroma-M has re-launched two of our original perfume oils, Geisha Noire and Geisha Blanche as alcohol-based eau de parfum.

Geisha Roll-on Perfume Oils. Eight Geisha Roll-On Perfume Oils, each named for a scent-appropriate color, such as Geisha Marron and Geisha Green; these are available in slim, carry-able containers. Our perfume oils are designed not only to smell beautiful, but simultaneously to enchant the mind and the soul—to help relieve daily stress and promote composure and wellbeing. aroma M is gender-neutral. Men as well as women are attracted to our unexpectedly tantalizing perfumes, that do not follow traditional male-female scent divisions.

There’s A Cute New Sleek Makeup Artist in Town…Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z300
Written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis


So it looks like electronics are now invading my territory as a Makeup Artist. At first, I thought it was going to be the air-brush machine but now…a camera. Anybody and everybody can be a photographer with this built in makeup artist. So here’s the skinny on my newest competitor.



Casio Computer Co Ltd has released their new Exilim Zoom EX-Z300 and the EX-Z250, compact digital cameras with a makeup function. This function recognizes faces in a scene to optimize focus and exposure. It makes the skin look flawless in it softens shadows on the face cast by sunlight with the use of an image processing technology. This makeup function will remove your pores and make dehydrated skin look less dull by lightening the skin color of faces in the image. So that means our skin tone will look more youthful with the correct color on our skin while covering mature wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. Users can shoot pictures while checking the effect of the function on the LCD screen. The intensity of the image processing can be selected from 12 levels. So move over photo shop, the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z300 will do it all except for applying eye shadows, lip gloss, and lash extensions.

This camera cost $249.99-$299.99

Laura Geller Fresh Baked Beauty

Laura Geller Fresh Baked Beauty
Written by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

Laura Geller Fresh Baked Beauty is becoming such a popular item that it’s getting rave reviews and comparisons to M.A.C’s mineralize skin finishes. Laura Geller baked beauty will definitely give your complexion that J.Lo glow. With so many types and styles of makeup out there, I really like that these bake goodies are trendy and really work to produce quality applications. From my understanding, the items start out in a liquid form, mixed by hand and then poured into individual terracotta tablets before they are baked for 24 hours. The items are then blended together in this marbleized dome shaped tablet leaving then with a creamy feel and edible look.

This starter kit of baked beauty set contains:
– 0.32 oz Balance-n-Brighten (swirled tones of soft tan/ beige/ ivory)
– 0.32 oz Blush-n-Brighten in Pink Grapefruit (beige/ mauve/ pink shimmer)

– 0.06 oz Baked Marble Eye shadow Duo in Blue Icing/ Coffee Cake (light blue/

blue/ bronze)
– 0.06 oz Baked Cake Eyeliner Duo in Blueberry/ Dutch Chocolate (shimmering dark blue/ matte dark brown)
– 0.07 oz Lip Gloss in Better Than Bare (pink beige)

Balance-N-Brighten is neutral but warm shades of soft tan, peach, and cream are blended together in this swirled compact. Use this powder to even out skin tones and achieve a healthy, glowing complexion. You can use it in place of foundation or combine it with your foundation for a flawless finish. The color infusions in this compact will correct imperfections in your skin, diminish a ruddy complexion, brighten sallow skin tones, and help you achieve a radiant glow. Apply over the face with a powder brush to smooth out complexion.

Blush –N-Brighten rich tones of marbleized pigments imparts is a glow giving blush that’s perfect for all skin tones. Swirl a blush brush across powder and swipe color from the top of your cheekbones to the apple of your cheek.

Baked Marble Eye shadow is baked powders for the eyes that feature multiple infusions of color. The shadow can be used by swiping the brush all over the entire compact and stroking over the eyelid. Or, you can identify different shades and tones within the palette and apply them individually, use darker tones in the crease and at outer corners, brighter ones to highlight. All of these gorgeous combinations are designed to use wet or dry, and the deeper tones work beautifully as an eyeliner.

Baked Cake Eyeliner Duo is a creamy baked eye liner duo. Laura Geller Baked Eye Liner Duos contain a revolutionary formula that goes on smoothly and stays put for hours. The creamy texture creates a smooth, flawless line that can be darkened by layering or smudged for a sexy, sultry stare. The velvety duos come in complementary, wearable shades that are sure to make you swoon. If a finer, darker line is desired, choose a skinny brush and stroke on wet. Bonus point: It becomes water-resistant when applied wet.
