Stack my Locks..
Fall 2012 is coming out with familiar hairstyles. Style always repeats itself and their is no deny this retro bouffant. What is s bouffant you ask? The definition says: a bouffant is a type of hairstyle characterized by hair piled high on the head and hanging down on the sides.
Originated in the late 50's then exploded into the Mod 60's.
Fall runways were full of all kinds of time machine looks.

Dramatic Red Lips
Red... Red wine. Red lips has been a fashion statement for centuries. From lip stains to vibrant Red lipstick even the greatest icons have often colored their pouts with blood red. This Fall it's on a huge rise... Instead of breaking it down into the blue-reds or orange-reds, this is true red. Many runways used dark lip liners to enhance the vamp look.
How do you apply red lipstick perfectly?
Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first.
Apply lipstick. This is the most important part and it's very important that you apply correctly. This is where the lipstick applier (looks like a brush) comes in. You don't have to use it, but it helps you stay inside the line from the lipliner. If so, apply in a thin layer but enough to where there's no "nude" areas. If you're going to just use the stick of lipstick, apply in a thin layer. MAKE SURE TO GET THE INNER CORNERS! It's easy to see the inner corners of your mouth when you talk and nothing looks worse than having bold red lips and having white corners. Blot, and then apply a second layer to ensure that color stays for a long period of time.
The key is always to blot and reapply, it total helps with the longevity.
Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. !!!!
Which shade of red lipstick can you just not live without?

Let's break this down...
What exactly is "Geometric Eyeliner"?
Younger stars like Taylor Swift and Kelly Osborne have been spotted wearing a new eyeliner trend, one that pushes the boundaries of eye definition beyond crazy colors into geometric shapes. This futuristic look is a theatrical effect that can easily be created with eye shadow and liner.
It's a mix from Twiggy's bold 60's eyeliner, with a 2012 futuristic twist.
Now, you can step out of the box and rock a bright yellow eyeliner without being traditional; black, brown, etc.
These mathematical dimensions have rocked the runaway from coast to coast.
How do you feel about this trend? Where do you feel these looks would be appropriate?
I can't wait to do my own creations:)

Fall Must Haves
Fall is coming up faster than I thought.
It's funny how fast this year as flown by!!
Here are all my FALL MST HAVES!!!!
The new Jessica Simpson scent! I was looking for something new and refreshing. Vintage Bloom is exactly what I will be rocking for the upcoming months. I absolutely despise perfume that comes off too strong. This, however has the perfect mix!! It is not overwhelming but, when you walk past someone it will still play with their senses.
It's funny how fast this year as flown by!!
Here are all my FALL MST HAVES!!!!
Need I say more?
After the summer alot of us have very dry and damaged hair. Being from the sun, the pool.. we need to let those luscious locks rest. This Hot Tool is great, you can have everything from a loose wave to a nice tight ringlet. The hold is what I love it actual holds on all kinds of hair types.
While running around shopping the other day I past by this special at ULTA. This will cover you until Spring, when colors come into play more often. This will create great smoky eyes and even has lighter shades for those who like the natural look. Pop a blue on top of a black smoky eye and see how much difference. Endless amount of fun!! Your receive Urban Decay's notorious eye shadow primer with it...$49 dollars. I'M THERE!!!
Remember when you invest money in good products your pigments and longevity will suprise you.

Rosy cheeks go with every season
Do you know how important blush is in your makeup application? Ever try to go without it? It's horrible.. The masterpiece is unfinished without chiseled cheek bones.
I recently had a friend ask for me to review some products she has with Mary Kay. Intrigued I accepted, few days later I was ecstatic when the sweet white box was delivered.
One item she sent me has become a must have essential.
Mary Kay cream blush is ahhhhhhhhhhwesome!!! I've used this on myself and a few recent photoshoots. In both day wear and film this product rocks. With just the perfect amount of "pop" you too will need this. I find businesses like Mary Kay seem to get over looked at times but, it certainly has time invested and is still successful. Every woman needs at least one Mary Kay product in their makeup kit. CREAM BLUSH for me :)
Thank you Tara!!!

Afternoon Delight
I'm so in love with my IPad I spend endless hours on here. Always looking for new inspiration and I educate myself on the latest makeup trends.
Pinterest in pretty awesome!!! When I first heard of this site I could not grasp the whole idea of pinning photos I liked on to boards. LOL I believe I have 15 different boards now with hundreds of elaborate photos.
I saw a photo for eyelash tinting, I figured it was a color dye you apply to darken your eyelashes. I was WRONG!!!
Full eyelashes is a ultimate goal for majority of women. Flirty, fun, eyelashes are easy to ROCK from false eyelashes.
For a more natural look you will need the following..
An angled Eyeliner brush, gel eyeliner and or eyeliner pencil.
Use your finger to raise your eyelid and expose the underneath of your lashes. You will see spaces in between your eyelashes. I, prefer to use gel eyeliner to fill these spaces in. Use your angled eyeliner brush to gently apply color to the gaps. You will notice how this will make your eyes pop, perfect day wear. Throw on a neutral eyeshadow, and a sweet voluminous mascara and be your own afternoon delight.
Any questions or requests? Contact me via email: briebreezybad@gmail.com

Damage is done
So, I'm totally obsessed with The Walking Dead. Creepy things are awesome!! While having a friend over today I attacked her and begged for her to let me zombie her out, at least look completely mutilated. I had a blast! The commit she had with curving her body plus the "ugly" faces LOL. Doing anything that does not feel natural especially in front of a camera is nerve racking.
If you have ever been in front of a camera lens, you understand the tension.
Crrrrreeeeeeepy but, how awesome these are!?!?!
Photography and makeup ( otherwise known as damage) was done by yours truly!!

Sunken Love
All kinds of looks inspire me.
I recently ran across what I thought was a genius photograph. I did not find out who the model or photographer is but, mucho mucho kudos!!
Skulls do not always represent evil. It's the bases of all of us. The mystery behind bones is insane to think of how we function.
Being inspired I dove head first into my makeup, playing and covering all I possibly could. I've created skull looks in the past but, it seems every time gets better and better. I'm sure one day I'll do a full head to toe piece...Enjoy!!!

Red Delight
"The right red [lipstick] will light up your hair, eyes and skin immediately, the wrong one will not.”
Wise words I thought I would share.
Red is taking over everywhere.
Just not on the eyes ladies...red eyeshadow is a no-no!! Gives you a pink eye look, not very attractive.
I recently saw the Louboutin nail design on Pinterest. My many lost hours have been devoted looking for endless inspiration from the little colorful boxes. But, the Louboutin nails are a must share. Totally dig the idea!!
Did you know Louboutin originally started his idea to paint the bottom of his heels red after a fellow employees nail polish caught his attention. Christian gracefully coated the bottom of a sample heel and from that day forth Louboutin's would rock cherry red bottoms. By chance, have you seen his latest pair of heels were inspired by Disney's rerelease of Cinderella? Not only do these beautiful glass slippers scream "classy" but they are complete must haves! I, personally would not wear them but, rather display those beauties on a dazzling shelf. Awe..one day!!
Photos are below
Absolutely, adore the concept of painting the inner nail red!
Bellissimo!!!!

What glitters is gold... Introducing Jewels Avenue
I have falling madly in love!
Very rare for me..
From day one I knew the creations this beautiful woman was imagining together we could create.
Jewels Avenue Photography blows me away everytime. We share the common bond for art, laughter and good times!!
I feel like everyone who comes and leaves footprints in our hearts are always there for a reason. Sometimes reasons we, as people may never understand until later dates. I know Mrs. Julie is in my life to brighten it and inspire me. Our future together looks bright, I recently conducted a sweet interview with Jewels Avenue Photography.
Enjoy and fall in love like I did...it's do easy!!! Enjoy:)

What a wonderful name. What made you decide to start your photography business?
Thank you!
It was scary deciding to open my studio and doing photography full time, but I'm so glad I chose to run (not walk) down this path. I owe all of my thanks to three dads, two Bruces, and a coin toss.
Bruce #1 is my father, who's last wish for me before he passed in 2009 was to pursue photography. Hearing the seriousness in his voice and seeing the burning assurance in his eyes when he said, " Now Frenchy, (there's a funny story to that nickname, call me and I'll tell you about it) you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will pursue this. You've got too much talent not too. " is something I will never forget. After that I made sure I set small goals each year to get myself where I am today.
Bruce #2 is my best friend's father ( coincidence on the name? I think not…) He presented me with an opportunity last October (opening the studio in a shared space) that was the answer I had been searching for. Even though I knew in my heart it was what I wanted, what I was meant to do, my head was unsure. It's scary depending solely on the unknown, and I had just received a well paid, secure job offer. It was not, however, in the photography field. So there was my predicament - do I pursue my brightly colored dream, or settle for the secure, yet mediocre?
Now enter the coin toss. I couldn't make up my mind. I deliberated for a long time, spoke with family, made up my mind, changed my mind, made it up again, and changed it again. My Dad, Clarence, (technically my step-dad, but he's so much more than that; step-dad does not even begin to describe what this man means to me) after listening to me talk myself into and out of the studio all day pulled me aside and said, "You know what you want, but to make sure, do you want to toss for it?" He pulled out a huge coin, I called it in the air, and haven't looked back since. It's been a tough road, but it's been brightly lit and can say I love going to work each day. I'm very grateful for everyone that has helped and supported me!
where do you call home?
Wherever my family is :) We are currently living in bustling Belton, TX.
What inspires you when you're behind the lens?
Laughter, music, and a very special make-up artist ( wink-wink)
What do you have to offer the Belton Community?
Along with amazing portraits, I create for each client an experience that they wont find with chain stores. I welcome clients into my studio as if they were family, and probably treat them better (hehe). My sessions are full of laughter and goofiness and in turn I get rewarded with not only amazing repeat clients, but new friendships. I value everyone I work with and make sure they know it!
I also offer basic camera classes for ages 7 and up, and an advanced lighting class for experienced photographers at my studio.
What do you specialize in?
Being Awesome. Duh.
Oh, and Family, Senior, and Wedding portraits ;)
Ive seen your publications in 35 Central? How did it feel when you saw your first issue?
Are you kidding? I'm still jumping around like a fool! It was a moment of *finally. I'm getting there* (Isn't that magazine awesome?)
Who is your favorite photographer/artist?
My tastes change throughout the years, but Brooke Shaden has been my object of affection for a while now. She creates surreal moments that tug at your emotions and wonder. They're what dreams are made from, or vice versa.
What inspires you most?
Real people. Music. History. Laughter. My kids.
When you're behind the lens what exactly do you look for to capture the best photograph?
It's all about the light. And the emotion. Emotion through color, pose, facial expression, etc... but with out the proper light, you've got nothing.
Out of all your photos in your portfolio which is your ultimate fav? Why?
That's like asking me which one of my kids is my favorite. Shame on you.
Can you give us a preview of what we have to look forward to from you in the future?
As I grow, so will my work. So check back with me in a few months and we'll see what has changed!
Right now I'm working on vamping up my Senior Rep program, which will include some serious perks for participators, and brining in more Boudoir/stylized sessions. I am giddy when a client tells me she felt like the most beautiful person in the world after a session with me and my style team (wink wink Miss B.A.D.) Being able to provide that for someone is elating!

Rejuvenating your favorite mascara
My favorite mascara is running out. It's no longer in stock and I can not bare to part ways yet.
So, ladies I have found a remedy that works magic on old lifeless mascara. Three tiny drops of your contact solution into your mascara case. Pump and stir around your wand. After, a few good swirls remove your fresh wand apply to your lashes. That just gave you two more weeks for those flirty lashes. Making sure you get your money's worth $$$$ cha-Ching!

New Portfolio work :)
I recently had the chance to turn two women into fashion queens for a military ball. I absolutely love putting makeup on a client who typically does not wear any cosmetics. The twinkle they have when they finally see their reflection is priceless.
I also had the chance to have my work captured by a photographer who completely created the perfect looks.
Close to Home Photography is responsible for these timeless art pieces.

Seems very high fashion to me...a makeup book? A session? What oh what to do with this (wink wink)

Amazed..Stay Tuned
This photo is like a dream come true! About a month ago I ran across the sweetest lady ever who is the owner of a very unique shop. My Giving Tree is on the corner of First and East Street in downtown Belton with such a interesting name I had to see what was settling behind the windows.
Inside I saw so many different art pieces and antiques. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw it, pure inspiration. This amazing couch, my mind stirred and I knew I had to contact the most talented people I knew to make my vision come true.
The concept was Circus inspired, Siamese Pin up Twins, a sexy sideshow maybe?
This story gets only better...
Here's your teaser... So much more to come.
Enjoy:)
