Exciting Brands at the Makeup Show LA 2018
The Makeup Show LA 2018 once again brought its epic beauty trade show to the California Mart, November 10-11, 2018. What I always enjoy about this particular trade show is its ability to have intimate class instructions from the Pro Artists leading the various breakout training sessions. No show is complete without a list of James Vincent’s favorite beauty products for Fall/Winter 2018 and Spring 2019. On the list is Ardell Beauty, an LA-based company widely known for their affordable and great quality lashes and eyelash adhesive, DUO. Did you know that Ardell employs over 1,000 people locally and they have a conglomerate of businesses under the Ardell brand? Ardell recently launched their own brand—Ardell Cosmetics.

Best Special Effects Lip Toppers for Photo Shoots
Let's talk about modeling, shall we? For a while, I was a professional model. These days, I still occasionally model for fun—and maybe a little bit of extra cash. However, I am not nearly as serious as I once was about it.

12 Duochrome Eyeshadows You're Going to Love
I gave up on matte eyeshadows. It wasn't because the colors were boring, or because I really wasn't feeling the many different looks you can do with matte. It's just that I kind of realized that matte eyeshadows just weren't me.

5 Lush Products That Will Change Your Beauty Routine
A lot of people struggle to find the perfect product when it comes to beauty, no matter their age, gender or ethnicity. This is because every skin has a different and unique texture and colour. Additionally, all of us experience different kinds of problems: some teenagers might have issues with acne, some others with spots, while adults may have scars they want to take care of. The cosmetics retailer Lush, however, has a huge range of products to help even the most challenging skin in getting better. Also, Lush contributes to sustainability of the society and the planet by using natural ingredients and recycling their pots and bottles, as well as selling 'naked' products, aka package-free.

Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Cassie was a bright seventeen-year-old who not once has dated a boy, worn makeup or smoked cigarettes. Her lips have never tasted the sweetness of alcohol, as she was voted in high school the most likely to succeed. She had a very bright future in front of her.

Testing Milk Makeup
Let me start by saying, I am not someone who enjoys spending my money. My main weakness is clothes, but nothing I have is worth over £20 and I buy most secondhand or on sale. If I’m taking a long train journey, I use sites to split my ticket and make it cheaper.

It’s 2018, there’s no time to be careless with your earnings, am I right? So the thought of buying one item of makeup, something that will last a few months at most, for £20+ terrifies me. And yet here I am, writing a review on a brand that sells foundation for $42 (around £32) and four eyeshadows for $36 (£28).
