The Wendol is a green, wet, fresh grassy sent with hints of wild berries in the opening. Then once it settles Wendol becomes more of a citrus cocktail with hints of earth and wood.

Veronika Gunter
Late last month I was invited to do makeup for Veronika Gunter’s campaign for NC senate photoshoot. Brake a lash Veronika! 
Speaking of Lynn…
I was so honored to be apart of The Scene campaign last year. Lynn Harty and her team and everyone from the The Scene where so much fun to work with. We all had a blast despite all the icy conditions and crazy weather. I am little late in blogging about it but I was floating around and I thought I would share.
Jaan Ferree
Jaan Ferre is an interior designer and has been a wonderful client of ours here at Makeup at The Grove Arcade for some time. Recently Jaan decided that she wanted to update her online image. I had such a blast working with, the great photographer, Lynn Harty and Jaan I thought I would share. Thank you so much ladies for including me.
Blackbird perfumes!
Tinderbox, when first applied, has the green of the tree and anchors into a warm cedar. Once the scent settles it takes me back to my grandfather’s wood shop, saw dust, warm medal, and wood stacks baking in the sun. 
The all in one.
Rose Hip Nourishing Oil from Mario Badescu is a wonderful healing oil that treats a number of things. High in Vit C it helps in fighting against free radicals. Soothing to dry, sensitive, and flaky skin it works wonders in skin texturing. During the winter my skin is still oily but itchy. This oil is so light weight even I use it at night. Use this wonder oil day or night.
Seeing spots?
Glycolic acid is here to help. As spring is approaching and summer vacations around the corner let’s take a moment to pause for our skin. Sun spots or “Age spots” are caused by over exposure to the sun which cause a darkening of melanin or the pigment in our skin. We can help fight that by limiting our exposure to the sun and at the very least keeping up with reapplying our sunscreens. When using Glycolic acids our skin can become sensitive to the sun and can burn a bit easier so make sure to use a sunscreen of at least 30 and reapply as directed.
I use this over night treatment from Mario Badescu not for sun spots but for pigmented acne scars. This gel is to be worn over night by it self and washed off in the morning. For me, I approach skin a little differently than most. I find this treatment effective by using it no more than 3 to 4 times a week.
Royal Apothic
These treasures are a wonderful addition to any spring fragrance collection. Aster Park and Thyme Yachting Club are two of my favorites from “The Society Collection”.
