CHRISTMAS AND BEYOND

I was thinking about Christmas and the list of things that would be nice for a makeup artist not only for Xmas but all year-round.  I came up with these items some makeup, some not--but things I love. Some ideas are for client gifts or for the makeup enthusiast you might know.  I hope you enjoy this list and it makes you think"outside of the box" sort of speak.

Get on the Zumba train.  I will confess I haven't hehehehe just love watching
the infomercial.  BUT I have begun to move--why? Those damn subway steps
were kicking my ass.  Check out Zumba and tell me how you like it  Hey maybe at
Studio D we can have a Zumba party:)

Being someone who cannot live without her Blackberry I wanted to
include these smartphone products to the list.  It will keep you organized and on time. 
They range in price according to your plan and service provider
Also included is the KINDLE--from what I am told it is becoming
the tool to carry.  If you like to read and you know how we can have hours of downtime
then this Kindle and lets not forget Barnes and Nobles color book reader the NOOK is great for you.
 Add that to your Xmas list
Kindle $139 at Amazon --Barnes and Nobles color book reader the NOOK $249



These lashes Lash Lush by THI COSMETICS are so natural your clients will not believe it

though I just used their products on Anette Benning  http://www.thicosmetics.com/

As a fashion makeup artist I find myself with one of these in my hands on a daily basis
Why not splurge and get a year subscription to these fab mags for a present or better
give them to a makeup artist in the making. It's the gift that gives all year round
