Start Fresh, Shall We?

Morning Lovelies,

Hope your in high spirits today.

I wanted to come to you all on a more personal note. Don't worry, it has everything to do with KissyFace but it's not a typical post that I do for the most part but it's something that I feel that I needed to address. I'm just wanting to be transparent.

When I started this blog it was supposed to be a "diary," an account of me building KissyFace as a business, growing/expanding my skills, sharing my ups and downs that and sharing what I learn with those who happened to fall upon my site with a passion or interest for beauty and makeup.

For goodness sake, my blog description said it all, "witness my trials and tribulations of becoming a makeup artist and follow the progress of my building my dreams."

Clearly that wasn't enough of a reminder because along the way, I lost sight of that. I can't necessarily pinpoint when that happened but it did.

Not to drag out the post anymore, I just wanted to share that things are now in a proper perspective because I've made that realization and I'm now back on track. My vision and actions with my space here are now realigned with what I originally intended.

Thanks for being faithful as you've been to my little piece in this vast blogosphere.  It's truly appreciated.

I couldn't necessarily pinpoint what I was missing and why my blog wasn't as much of a priority as it used to be when I first started but thankfully I figured it out.

My vision is clear and I've got my direction back. I'm looking forward to what's ahead and what I'll be sharing on here.

Love you all,
B. Pierre

P.S. Look out for a more streamlined look to the blog for now-- taking a few steps back in order to take a few steps forward.  Plus, I royally screwed up my current template so it's an opportunity to change things. =)

Looking Back to Move Ahead: Unfinished Business

Ok, in my last post I mentioned that I have some housework to get done.

Every once in a while i like to reflect on things that I should change, get better at or get rid of in my life and it's that time again.

I've looked through my posts and I realized that I leave a lot of stuff undone, like an unfinished puzzle.  I had every intent of finishing it or going through with it but life happened. But KissyFace is part of my life and neglecting it, is in it of itself neglecting myself. Sad, but true.

So, I've actually gone through every post and looked at what needs to actually be done or posted on. My goal is for the end of the month. I'll be posting an update list tomorrow.

With a new zeal I've gained, I'll get it done. I hope you enjoy. :-)

XOXO & Many Blessings,
B. Pierre

Neglecting Nelly

That's what you can call me. For the past two weeks a lot has been going on in my life. Not bad but great time-consuming things. But I just wanted to do a quick little post to say, I'm still here. And I should be back in full-effect by mid next week. I have one more exam to knock out before I'm home free.

Also in the past two weeks I got a car, moved out of my apartment and have had assignments out the yin-yang. ::woo-sah::

Hope everyone has a safe weekend all.

XOXO & many blessings,
B. Pierre

P.S. Next week I'm heading to Orlando to do make-up for a fashion show. I definitely need to add some stuff to my kit this weekend to be ready in time for the big show on Saturday. :-)

Look of the Week: Purple Passion

To get in the habit of daily blogging & create a little structure to my blog every Monday I'll be uploading a look of the week, both to showcase some of my looks and to keep track of how my skill level is progressing.


And I thought it'd be appropriate to kick things off with the look in my profile picture.




My face looks better in the second picture because it was taken at the beginning of my night while the first picture was taken at the end.


The look was really simple and easy to create.

Products Used

Face: Moisturizer, followed by M.A.C. MSF in Deep Dark

Bases for the Lid: UDPP, followed by a Purple NYX Jumbo Pencil

Main Lid: Urban Decay-Ransom

Crease: Urban Decay-Zero

Highlight: M.A.C.- Nanogold

Lips: Good ol' PJ (petroleum jelly)

And note to self: STOP taking make-up pics w/ the date stamp. It just ruins the whole effect. lol

Happy Monday all!

XOXO & many blessings,

B. Pierre
