5 of My Go-To Products!

1) Too Faced- Better Than Sex Mascara

Most of my clients tell me that if they could only have one makeup product, it would be mascara- it makes all the difference! I, like so many of you, feel the same. For me, it’s all about the eyes, and if you have short lashes like my unfortunate self, you need extra help. For those of us who didn’t luck out on the long lashes gene, a lot of mascaras add product, but keep our little lashes sticking straight down, instead of curling upward. Also, why does it seem that boys always have longer lashes? What do they even need them for?! Anyway, out of all the mascaras I’ve tried, my favorite stays the same. Better Than Sex is one of the pricier ones, but it’s twice as good as those from the drug store- completely worth it!

2) Argan Oil

Being honest here, if I hear about a certain item enough, I’ll most likely jump on the bandwagon. I’ve heard amazing things about the various uses of argan oil, and now I never go without it! If you’ve ever seen makeup tutorials using Farsali Rose Gold drops, this can be used in the same way. After applying moisturizer and primer, I put a few drops of argan oil on my brush or sponge before adding foundation, and it works wonders. It spreads the product so smoothly and makes your skin look airbrushed. (Extra tip: if you’re a Beauty Insider at Sephora, you can get a mini bottle of these for 100 points. Yes I am there very often.)

3) Smashbox Primer

Smashbox was originally a photo studio which later created a makeup brand specifically for Hollywood stars and those who would be in front of the camera. With a large majority of my clients being ladies who are going to a photoshoot or posing on their wedding day, I love using this primer. It’s super soft and slick, making for smooth makeup application- totally necessary for long-wear looks!

4) Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade

We all have our different preferences of powder brows vs. a gel or cream, but my favorite thing is to incorporate both. I love starting out with the brow pomade because its cream texture is great for outlining the brows and giving them structure. After outlining, I like to use what is left over on the brush to lightly fill in, then go back in with a light powder. One tip to remember when buying products for your brows is to go a shade lighter- it always turns out darker once it’s applied! Also an extra tip: store this item cap-side-down so the oils don’t all seep to the bottom. If it does get dry, add a few drops of argan oil to make it like-new! (Ahhh another use of argan oil, it gets me so excited!)

5) Make Up For Ever HD Microfinishing Powder

This was one of my most exciting purchases. Well, I actually feel that way every time I walk out of Sephora, but really, this is a great product. It appears white, but is completely non-tinted and serves as a setting powder. It goes on sheer and leaves you with a matte finish which I LOVE. Also, if you rub it between your fingers you’ll see how incredibly soft it is. You’ve probably noticed by now I love soft things.

     These were a few of my favorites but I have TONS more! If you liked this blog or have requests for future posts, never hesitate to reach out. As always, thanks for reading!

Soooo many new faces! Thought I’d reintroduce my Soooo many new faces! Thought I’d reintroduce myself with a #fridayintroductions 

Hi! I’m Kaelie👋🏻 my friends call me Kael😊

-I’ve been a makeup artist and business owner since 2016

-I started my business while still in high school, which bright challenges but also unique opportunities!

-I specialize in weddings but I do makeup for any event!

-I’ve always lived right here in the Fredericksburg area. In fact, I was born at Mary Washington Hospital

-In August 2020, I got my esthetician’s license which was a highlight in a dark year

Thank you for following along!
Happy New Year! I’ve been absent on here cause I Happy New Year! I’ve been absent on here cause I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family over the holidays, but I want to wish you all a happy 2021.

Here are some things that happened in 2020 that I’m thankful for

-I started esthetician school, something I had wanted to do for quite a while.
-When Covid hit, we did online class for 3 months, which was challenging considering we missed out on a lot of hands-on. However, my class still graduated on time in July despite all of it.
-I went to state board and passed both my theory and practice with high scores and got my license
-Though weddings came to a halt during the summer and money was tight, slowly but surely I started getting business again in the fall. And thankfully, my part time receptionist job never closed.
-I landed my first esthetician job
-I learned more working in esthetics than I ever did in school
-got a second esthetician job, allowing me to quit my receptionist job on the very last day of 2020, to become a full time esthetician💕
-And most importantly, everyone I know is healthy and safe!

Now, my goal for 2021 is to start and hopefully finish school for my master esthetician license 🤞🏼

I hope everyone is staying safe and having a great start to their new year🥳
So I had a very exciting day today… I got dress So I had a very exciting day today…

I got dressed up and hit all the spas in town with my resume in hopes to find one that hired apprentices for esthetician’s looking to get their master’s license

I had little luck with any of them, but then, the very last one on my list turned my mood around. They interviewed me on the spot and offered me a job! (Once I officially start I will share what spa it is, and yes I still work at Simply Bliss as well!)

When I went into work this afternoon, I put in my two weeks notice at my receptionist job

I will now, for the first time ever, be working ONLY in my career field! (And have 2 jobs instead of 3🤪)

To finally be JUST an esthetician and a makeup artist feels SO GOOD!
I’ve anticipated this day for years. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way🥳
Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone is having a great day whether you’re wrapping presents or not even finished Christmas shopping (like me💁🏼‍♀️😂)

I want to remind you guys that today is the LAST DAY to enter the giveaway for the $50 Ulta gift card! Giveaway closed at 11:59 tonight, and I will be announcing to winner tomorrow on a live video. Good luck!
