Make-up Update: Review of Xpressions by R & A
Last week my third makeup trial was with Ruby and Amber of Xpressions. Ruby, who did my hair, came across as more professional and sweet than Amber, who did my makeup, who was much more casual.

Details, Details – Pens
It's July, the wedding is next month. Amidst having to find a new MUA, and trying to not regain the 20 lbs that I've lost (yay!), the accent details are on my mind. I'm a big believer of accents bringing together the aesthetics. Our videographer told us about a story where the aarsi mashaf was… Continue reading Details, Details – Pens
