This is my last day with Zoe. Zoe is a very talented dancer who is going off to perform in San Francisco. Watch out for her on the street! I have loved getting to know Zoe and wish her the very best! Mia, on the left (with Thalita in the middle), is an artist interning in the gallery for this month and organizing together with Zoe for the show beginning on July 8. To anyone in the area, please come visit us!

Thalita showing off a gorgeous tank top from the sale table. Only $5!

We’ve had a big sale in the past few days, and with the perfect weather, there have been lots of new customers. If you’re in the area, you definitely need to stop by because there are some great deals (some things for only $2!) on hand-screened tops, pillow cases, brush holders, and makeup – such pretty lipsticks! I’ve been wearing the sale items for the past week (I’m wearing the Raspberry lipstick today), and I’ve become obsessed.

We’ve had so much fun meeting new people, and also revisiting with past visitors. Anna, who has visited once before with friends, stopped by the studio on Tuesday after learning about the sale from Facebook. She is a makeup artist herself and left with a bag full of goodies from our sale. Thank you, Anna, for stopping by – We loved having you back!

Thalita did a 1960s look on me. Don’t you just love what she did with the eyes?! I can’t get over how talented she is. The makeover took awhile, but Thalita did a perfect job. Notice the eyelashes. I have never worn fake eyelashes, and it felt as if my eyelids were lifting weights. She applied a much darker base to my face. She said the 1960s was somewhat the beginning of women striving for that sun kissed look. She finished the look with nude lips. I asked Thalita how she knew so much about the makeup from different decades. She said she learns the most by watching movies. The look she gave me is very similar to Veruschka and Twiggy in the sixties.

Mia, Lynley, Zoe, and Allyssa wearing Glow on this gorgeous day in the city.

A hot topic of discussion yesterday was lipstick. I organized and counted inventory of all fourteen Matte lipsticks. I love each of the names – so feminine! You can see all the names and colors on the main website under “Eyes and Lips.” Thalita talked about how a lipstick gives a woman a confident, and maybe even an intimidating, look. My favorite lip color from the Matte collection is the very popular Scarlett. It’s bold yet pink enough for a woman to still embrace her femininity.

Today Zoe, Mia, Allyssa, and I are all wearing Glow lipstick from the “Classic Creams” collection. It’s a bright red-orange coral and perfect for the summer! I am slowly but surely becoming more comfortable wearing color. I think I may have a new obsession with lipstick. I love it.
