sexy, young, happy

After 43 years of being married to her best friend, Ms. P suffered a spinal bleed, one of only 36 recorded cases, which left her in a wheelchair for the next 5 months. She worked hard and with the help of her doctors, Ms. P learned to walk, dance, and smile again. Her appreciation for those abilities cannot be explained with words. In honor of her recovery, Ms. P’s husband gave her a session at Belle Boudoir to help her feel as beautiful as he knows she is.

At “66 years young. This was the most wonderful experience” for Ms. P.  She “felt gently cared for” and appreciated Cheryl’s professionalism. Cheryl “knows how to bring out beauty from within. The photo shoot was so much fun. The time flew by. The studio is lovely.” Ms. P continued gushing by saying that “the make up and hair session that proceeded the shoot honestly made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt before.”

After Ms. P’s photoshoot and image reveal were complete, she felt “sexy, young, happy, and (her) heart soared.” She has said the her boudoir session at Belle Boudoir was “life changing” and that she would recommend Belle Boudoir to any woman who wants her confidence to soar!

Eyeliner for Prominent Eyes

A prominent shaped eye is typically defined by being large and round with a good amount of lid space – think Beyonce and Katy Perry. Some makeup artists refer to prominent eyes as “makeup eyes” because this shape can hold a lot of makeup and looks great no matter what makeup application you choose. If you were one of the women blessed with this incredible eye shape, you can rest assured with one simple fact: there is not an eyeliner shape or style out there that you cannot pull off. You were born with the holy grail of eye shapes. Wether you want to evoke the spirit of Audrey Hepburn or Adam Lambert circa 2009, you will look fantastic. Winged liner, smokey liner, thick line, thin line, smudged liner, dropped liner, and of course the classic line. They will all look incredible and allow you to play up your eyes in different ways. So next time you reach for you eye pencil, think about trying a different shape or thickness. You just might find a new eyeliner application you’ll love.

Coca Cola for texture?

It sounds crazy but I have heard that Coca-Cola adds texture to limp and lifeless hair. Coca Cola  – the overly acidic beverage that people use to clean their fireplaces is going to give my hair texture? I had to put it to the test to see if it works and…wait for it…it does! The acid in the soda actually helps to bring out your hairs natural texture and makes it appear fuller. If you are feeling brave and want to give it a try, here is how to do it:

  1. You can use wet or dry hair but if your hair is more damaged, I recommend wetting it first so that it absorbs less of the coca-cola.
  2. Use a 2 Liter to ensure that you entirely saturate your hair
  3. Beginning at the roots, pour the entire contents of the 2 Liter over your locks and do not rinse
  4. Style as usual
