Beauty in Bloom: The Party with a Purpose


My business partner and I just started a new business!  It's called Beauty in Bloom: The Party with a Purpose! Check out our web site:  http://www.beautyinbloomparty.com/

Beauty in Bloom is committed to making girls feel special one party at a time!  Every girl is a unique individual with different gifts and talents.  In this day and age, when there is so much focus on the exterior and outward appearance, those inner gifts and talents, as well as self esteem and confidence, can get lost in the shuffle.

Beauty in Bloom works to help girls turn the focus back on themselves.  We hope to aid girls in building confidence and self esteem by reminding them what really matters and what really makes them a beautiful person; true beauty blossoms from the inside out.  So while make-up, hair styles and fashion are fun, that’s not what makes you beautiful.  Beauty blooms from knowing who you really are and being confident and comfortable with your own gifts, talents and abilities. 

When you have a Beauty in Bloom event you truly are making a difference in a girl’s life.  She will leave the party feeling secure in whom she is, confident about what she can do, and she’ll have a boost in self esteem that will last a lifetime.  Beauty in Bloom: The Party with a Purpose.  Book your event today and help us in changing lives one party at a time!

Check out our site and book your party today!

Fall Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful new photographer recently, Ryan Hostnik.  I did the face for his model, Melissa Brightman, for an outdoor shoot and it was gorgeous!  They shot at a local park and the fall foliage was the perfect backdrop!  Melissa's make-up was soft and fresh and was complimented by the changing leaves and laid-back, comfortable style of this outstanding photographer.  Ryan has a way about him that makes everyone involved in the shoot feel comfortable and safe, which obviously leads to better pictures!  He also has a way with kids; I can attest to this because he did a shoot with my three rug rats and the results were fantastic and fun! 

You can see more of his work at:

Featured Face...Jennifer Megan Tennis!

Heat and humidity are always a concern when it comes to hair and make-up, but throw in a boat ride and you might be looking at a recipe for disaster!  But let me assure you, that was not at all the case when it came to the vow renewal/wedding reception for Jennifer Megan Tennis! 

Jenn's wedding took place on July 10, 2010 at Crystal Point in Point Pleasant, NJ and like I said, not only was it a humid July day, but Jenn made her entrance in style...by boat!  She was breathe taking.  Stunning.  A vision of elegance, class and beauty which was all captured by her outstanding photographer:
Gary Flom Photography. 

Jenn describes herself as laid back, but loves to get glammed up!  And glam she was!  From fabulous faux lashes to luscious lips; Jennifer's look was gorgeous! 
Her eyes were dramatic and smokey and the perfect compliment to a softer lip.

On July 10, 2010 Jennifer Megan Tennis renewed her wedding vows to the love of her life and she did it with grace and elegance.  It was an honor to be a part of her day and provide her with just the right look that added to the perfection of a flawless day.

Be sure to see more of Gary Flom's work at http://www.garyflom.com/.

What Jenn has to say:  "Jamie is amazing. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she did it to a "T". She is amazing, a great make up artist, great friend and great person!"

Giving back a little...

Tomorrow I'll be demonstrating a few techniques and raffling off a few free make-overs at a local Mom's group.  The organization, Mother's of Preschoolers aka MOPs, is geared towards Mommy's of young children and is a fabulous organization, I attend meetings regularly myself!  This meeting is in honor of breast cancer awareness and taking care of yourself, from inside out...I'll be taking care of the "out"!

Fabulous Faves!

Just got back from the MAC counter and am so in love with the "Venomous Villains" line!  The whole line is based on the best Disney villains; Cruella, Maleficent, Evil Queen and Dr. Facilier.  My fave is the powder blush in "Bite of an Apple", inspired by the Evil Queen from Snow White.  The color is so refreshing and when applied right to apples of your cheek, no pun intended...OK, maybe a little intended, you get this fabulous, youthful glow.  Gorg!  Check it out below!
