50k followers on Instagram!

I just had to blog about this milestone! I've waited forever to reach this mark and it finally hit! Yay! Thank you everyone for supporting me, it really means so much!

Some randome things about my Instagram some are obvious (which I always get asked about) and some are not 

- Yes, I do live in Seattle (I get asked so many times and it's even on my profile) 

- I am a professional makeup artist if you can't tell 

- I post at least 1 picture a day except weekends

- I try to post a variety of pictures such as my personal life, daily life and my dog Luca. But really it's all about beauty I can't stay away. 

- yes I have a YouTube (again another question I get asked all the time lol)

- I always try to comment back when someone asks a question 

- I am always on IG  

- I go crazy when someone asks me a question when the answer is right there in the description. People, read read read PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

- I have met so many wonderful people on IG including my beauty pen pal Katie! 

- my relationships with brands couldn't have been done without IG. So very blessed with all the exposure these companies give me. So thankful for their support! 

- I usually take my IG pictures with my IPAD mini, Panasonic Lumix or my iPhone 4 

- some of my favorite editing apps are Phototoaster, PixFX, Pixlrexpress and MoreBeaute2

- I hope someday I can be one of Seattle's top instagrammers (doubt this will happen because all I post about is anything and everything beauty related hahahahaahah )

10k + instagram beauties!

Thank you to all my Instagram beauties for all the love and support you have given me since I started my MOFD posts.  I never expected my daily pictures would turn into something that people actually admire and look forward to every day.

How it all began...
I work a regular job during the weekdays still in cosmetics but not actually glaming up myself and customers.  I missed playing with makeup, creating different styles and using different techniques to achieve that perfect look.  One night I was bored I sat at my armoire while my boyfriend in the background watched football and just played.  I showed him my look and he told me to take a pic and post it on Instagram.  Sure, why not.  I didn't expect to see so many beauties be interested, and that's how it all got started.  The looks you see are not the looks I go out grocery shopping in or clean the house in, it's rather just a time for me to step out and just play!  People ask me if you don't wear it out it's just a waste of makeup.  I have tons and tons of makeup, (click here for my collection) and I might as well put it to good use, plus it's a time for me to go back to what I love and be creative.  My Instagram is a showcase of compiled celebrity, new product, season, and personal inspired looks for makeup inspiration for any occasion.  I usually make-up the look the night before I post while watching tv or while the boyfriend is playing his MW3 (UGH.)  My iPhone is the only device I take my MOTD pictures with but with the help of 2 flourescent lamps with daylight bulbs. I then edit with Picstich, BeFunkyPro, and Iwatermark apps for the Iphone. 

I created the hash tag #mymotdstyle for all the beauties to share their makeup of the days with everyone and myself to share their looks.  It has been a major success and it's great to see all the different styles.  Keep tagging ladies!!!

Last week I reached 10k followers, I cannot be more thankful to all my followers.  I will continue to bring looks that all of you will be interested in as it brings me joy reading all your comments. I have met some wonderful people who share the same interest as I do from all over the world.  I am excited to see what 2012 will bring me and I cannot wait to share all the success, special events and makeup adventures with all of you.  Thank you thank you sooo much!!!! Love you guys!!

I wanted to share some sweet comments from some of my followers.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!! May 2012 be even better than 2011!


P.S. forgot to mention.. I am sooo excited to host a BIG contest to bring in the New Year.  Make sure you are a subscriber to my YouTube Channel, and or on my Facebook or on my blog.  All my favorite things to give out to all my loyal followers :)
