Have you tried Elf Products?

DV Favorite Things

Typically we use only professional makeup products. Although a few months back one of our stylists Georgia told me about Elf products. Eyes, Lips and Face. She was raving about the strip lashes. They are $1.00 each and let me tell you they are pretty fantastic. Compared to a set of Mac lashes at $15.00 and above, you can save quite a bit. I do have to say they are a one time use lash. I went online to see the Elf products and had a terrific time spending $50.00 to get my free shipping. When my package arrived it was like Christmas, full of toys. How could this be a good product if it is so cheap. So the Design Visage artists put it to the test. Gotta say many of the Elf products pass the test.

Here are the winners

Elf loose shimmer shadows: our favorite colors are golden and angelic. Awesome for highlighting the eye or cheekbone

The mineral powder booster: favorite color shimmer. Compares to top minerals, for a whole lot less dough

Strip lashes, there wonderful. Toss the glue and use a professional one.

Not all the products are great, but for a $1.00 to $5.00 a product, its worth the chance. You can find Elf products at some Target stores or www.eyeslipsface.com Check back for more updates on our favorite products.

Engagement Hairstyle:

  • Heather has beautiful hair…although as hair artists do, they make it even better. First Lauren added highlight and low lights to Heathers hair (yes we do fabulous color her at Design Visage as well)
  • Second, Lauren added a few wefts of real hair extensions that were colored to match Heather’s Hair
  • Lauren then curled all Heather’s hair with a 1 1/2 inch iron….running her fingers through it after it was set….a slight tease on the top
  • Bangs were slightly curled to the side….add a hair jewel and waaala…perfect look

Engagement make-up:

  • Heather has stunning eyes and she is not afraid of making them up….which was fun for Lauren since she loooooves make-up.
  • The eye shadows were several shades of plums…brings out a blue eye…a thicker black liner on top that was extended outside the eye to enlarge the eye
  • Lips and cheeks….natural tones of Heather’s own cheek and lip color

Morning after pictures….really..

This was the first time I had ever heard about morning after pictures…..yes after the big day and night, photographer returns in the morning to your hotel room….sans make-up and takes photos. Sounds horrible. But look at these photos…..I LOVE IT. Bravo to Jacob Galleries for the idea. Maybe not for everyone, although for these two, an amazing beautiful story.

Sarah and Daniel were married at the Montage Resort last year. Sarah’s family were due to fly in from the east coast for the festivities. Then a huge storm and all flights were canceled. What to do…..can you imagine the decision….go on with the wedding without your family…postpone the wedding…just a day prior. Well with some long phone conversations Sarah’s family gave her their blessing and she did walk down the isle and marry Daniel. They are such a beautiful couple and we wish them a lifetime of happy days and warm moments.
