Dior Bridal Makeup Workshop with Fredis V Hosted by Makeup Junkie!

A few weeks ago I attended the Dior Bridal Makeup Workshop hosted by none other than Makeup Junkie.  Our instructor was the incredibly talented Senior Makeup Artist for Dior Canada Fredis V.  I didn't get to take a whole lot of pictures because I was so focused on learning and really getting into the hands on part of the workshop.  For a full review of the workshop please check out Elaine's post on Toronto Beauty Reviews !

Can you tell her eyes were done by two different people?  

One is Fredis work and the other mine!

Big thanks to Joy from Makeup Junkie for hosting an awesome workshop.  I had fun but mostly learned a lot!  Thanks for Fredis V for being an awesome teacher and for teaching me a whole bunch of tricks and tips I'm sure I will be using on all my future brides!  Looking forward to more workshops!

Hope for Haiti Beauty Benefit

On February 7th a group of beauty industry professionals and about 50 attendees joined together for the Hope for Haiti Beauty Benefit which was organized by makeup artist Rhia Amio with the help of fellow makeup artist Joy David-Tilberg.  Attendees were asked to make a minimum donation of $25 to the Canadian Red Cross and all monies raised would go towards relief efforts in Haiti.  This fun filled day consisted of makeup and hair makeovers, pigging out on delicious cupcakes and food (well I could only speak for myself! haha), taking some before and after head shots, entering to win beauty prize raffles, and mingling with everyone all around.

At the end of the day everyone took home some awesome swag bags filled with goodies.  And in total we raised an amazing $2,354 which was way more than what was anticipated!

Event organizer, Rhia and Me

A big thank you to Rhia for organizing such a successful event.  Looking forward to more events like these!
