What Makeup Item Are You Looking Forward To Getting For Christmas

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

As a makeup artist or a makeup lover, what makeup item are you looking for under your tree?

2 of my new favorite makeup items that I’m enjoying are from Absolute New York. I am so lucky to have their luxurious Icon Eye Shadow Palettes. Each palette holds 12 gorgeous colors and it comes with a large mirror and a dual-ended eye shadow brush. I have the Twlight & the new Smoked palettes. The third palette is called Exposed. I luv that the eye shadows are pigmented and the shades are to die for. I luv using them wet & dry taking any look from day to night. These eye shadow palettes from Absolute New York is definitely a must have.

Christmas Day Is My Favorite Time Of Year

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

Another relaxing and enjoyable Christmas with the family. We didn’t have any family members come up to visit. The cold weather & snow is something that keeps them away. It was just us 4 but with all the laughter, music, drinks being poured and food eaten you would have thought we were hosting. My tradition is mimosa and a bake good before we start unwrapping gifts, then we make our way to the living in sit by the fireplace. For Michael and I it always feel like our babies are still babies. We enjoy watching them opening their gifts. I don’t care how old our kids get we luv having them home for the holidays. So I do go all out for them while they are still home. Once they start their own family there is no guarantees that they will continue to celebrate with us. So I’m getting my time in.

My next gift for Envy are classes because she does a great job playing by ear but with a few lessons she could be a rock star. #justsaying

Even though I have a fab time with my family, I always have a moment for girlfriend Chiquita SimmsChiquita Simms who I lost on Christmas Day in Atlanta while preparing for a big Christmas event. She passed due to a brain aneurysm, leaving behind a son. I’ll never forget the day I found out, I was home in New York. I never thought I would be able to enjoy Christmas ever again. LOVE YOU CHIQUITA!!!!

Then later in the day when I finally decide to check my texts & emails I see breaking news of George Michael passing on this day. This is why I try to enjoy each in every day stress free & no drama. Because we never know when it’s our last day.

Christmas Eve O’ Christmas Eve

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis


My day started at the salon from 10am-3pm. It was a fun filled day with over 50+ appointments. Co-Owner Rebecca Sullivan Baglio of Romeo Baglio Design was my first client this morning. A girl always need makeup & lashes for the holidays right? Rebecca also gifted me with a bottle of Champagne & a bottle of Philosophy Cinnamon Buns Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. She’s a girl that knows my heart, thanks Rebecca! My last client of the day was the fab Laura & Charlotte Cantwell. I always enjoy chatting with Laura, she’s a cool lady!


Before the day was over we had to do a Whip Salon photo shoot with the staff

Ended my evening sitting by the fireplace while sipping on wine. We waited for Envy to return home before we started our Christmas Eve celebration. By 11pm I was out that I didn’t help Michael wrap the kids gifts. So he was solo, thank goodness he’s reliable because I definitely dropped the ball.

Yay…Our Beauty Blenders Are Here

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

I’ve been waiting for this package to arrive, and finally it’s here!

I’m so happy to announce Whip Salon is now selling Beauty Blender. Every makeup lover must have beauty tool.

What I love the most about using beauty blenders is that you don’t need face makeup brushes in your makeup bag. This cute pink sponge will give you a flawless makeup finish. We have the original, the white for sensitive skin, the black if you use dark colors and long wearing foundation, & the mini greens are great for concealers, highlighting & contouring.

Make sure you pick one up!

Saying Prayers For Nick Cannon While In The Hospital Again Due To Lupus

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

On no, not again, I just heard that my boy Nick Cannon is once again in the hospital due to his lupus flaring up. It seems like it’s a bad one because his doctors are keeping him for a few days. So Christmas Day he will be spending it in the hospital, #LupusSucks! I’ve been there, not being able to celebrate with family & friends and inconvenience others to stop in come out to visit can be a pain. I know Nick is going to come out running ready to catch up with work that he won’t rest, I know cause that’s what us Lupus Warriors do. That’s our problem we don’t know how to rest. I’m saying prayers that you get better fast so you can kick off 2017 with a bang, #Ncredible

I Luv The Christmas Window Displays In New York

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

I’m such a kid at heart, I live for this day. Being in New York City with the family, drinking hot chocolate & viewing the window displays on 5TH Ave. I have to be very careful so I make sure to layer my clothes so that I don’t have a flare up. I hate having this much clothing on but I do what I have to do to stay healthy.

Here are some of my favorite windows. I wish I could have taken more but my hands were freezing.
