Fun Day In NY For NYFW At A NARS Cosmetics Event

In the morning I always start off my day enjoy a nice cup of tea from Donna Karan New York Blend (chamomile, ginger roots, & peppermint). I’ll go sit on the deck and just collect my thoughts and then I’ll have my time with GOD, thanking him for getting me through another day. As you know by now with Lupus, Lyme, & RA, I may look good on the outside but my body thinks I’m about 90yrs old. What I luv about the ladies I’ll be with today they both understand my health issue in they don’t push me to do things are get in there feelings when I can’t do things. Thanks Ilse for my GORG mug, anything NY or NOLA I luv!

We (Brandy, Ilse & Annya) made it to Grand Central Terminal

Stopped by Great Northern Food Hall inside Grand Central Terminal to see what type of snacks they had. 

Ilse & Annya went to check out their menu

BUSY BUSY BUSY, everyone has somewhere to go. This is why I luv the energy in New York

The ladies are so social media driven

Leaving out of ABC Carpet & Home, I’m glad Annya got me out of there cuz I would have spent my kids college tuition this month in this store. Decadent is not even the best word to describe this store. iDIE every time I’m there. Oooh, but I actually look fly. #justsaying

Made it to ABC Kitchen to have a bite to eat and of course have a few cocktails

Toasting to a variety of things; FRIENDSHIP, WOMEN IN BUSINESS, BEING WIVES, WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN…those watermelon mimosas were delicious!

Made it to the W Hotel Union  Square for NARS cosmetics NYFW Event “WhatShe Said” 

 Ilse, your striking is what the mirror should be telling you

Radonm pics: this is what happens when you put makeup artists in a room together we start talking makeup. A young lady name Jeannie @jenlaprincesse  shared with us 2 new makeup items she’s luvin right now so I’m sharing them with you. Both items are from a cool company Touch in Sol. I luv their duo metallic eyeshadow & glitter.

This is an art piece to me, like I would put this up in my home. Throw some red glitter on the lips, bling out the eyes.

A little touch up before we leave…I hope I gave you a nice peek of my sexy day with my glam ladies at a wonderful event. Thanks NARS & Melissa for the invite. We had a blast!

Makeup Artist Chat Makeup

This is what happens when you leave a teen with your computer. They find old videos and and put together this…I actually think she did a good job. I have so much footage that I can probably make a movie from all of my travels and assignments doing makeup. I’m happy that she was able to find all my old files in hopefully can do something with my videos that’s just taking up space on my hard drive.

Weird thing is I have not aged!

Pamper Your Lips With Fresh Sugar Cream Lip Treatment

Fresh Sugar Cream Lip Treatment is not just another lip gloss that will leave your lips popping. It’s a lip treatment that will leave your lips nourish and smooth while giving you 6hrs of moisture. Don’t expect a basic shine on your lips, Sugar Cream Lip Treatments will give you a tint of color with a touch of a soft iridescence glow.

The Sugar Cream Lip Treatment are creamy colors that is inspired by watercolor paint and the whipped texture is like a decadent dessert, creme fraiche. A texture that Fresh co-founder wanted with these Sugar Cream Lip Treatment.

The reason why your lips will be so soft is because of the ingredients. It has sugar, a natural humectant, antioxidant-rich vitamins E and C, and a blend of oil to give you smooth lips. Being housed in a metal paint tubes it makes it so easy to carry in your purse especially during the fall and winter time, when your lips will definitely need it.

Working From While Living On The Lake

The best part about living by the lake is it’s so relaxing! Working from home on a beautiful day like today a girl could not ask for anything else. As I’ve gotten older I like my ME TIME, quiet time. I really get a lot of work done when I’m sitting out on the deck. I turn on some ambiance music from the Parisian scene, electric lounge of Hotel Costes since the deck has surround sound speakers out there. I work so much better when I have on music that makes me think.

I don’t want the summer to go away it’s been WONDERFUL this year.

Makeup Monday: Jane Iredale Snappy Brush Wand

My new makeup tool obsession is from Jane Iredale it’s such an innovative synthetic fiber makeup brush that any girl on the go would love. The Snappy Brush Wand  has three interchangeable magnetic brushes to use with eyes & lips. I luv that the brush can fit easily in your handbag and a tiny clutch. It’s so easy, just snap on the brush head you wish to use and switch as needed.

If your a makeup junkie you will be just as obsessed as I am when I first laid eyes on this fab makeup brush.
