Amazing Joker Glam look by one of our makeup artists, Natalie, along with some of her techniques and tips. 

Techniques to get this look: "I don't usually carry fake blood in my kit, so I make use of the products that I do have. I LOVE my OCC Lip Tar red liquid lipstick, mixed with a dab of black cream liner for a dark & dirty effect add some clear lip gloss, and just apply to the wound."

Artist Tip: "Big thick lashes are the icing on the cake for any Halloween inspired look."

Inspiration: " @lora_arellano creates the most beautiful dark, sultry looks and I live for it!"

A ferocious cat by our VB artist, Amanda, along with some of her techniques and tips. 

Technique to get this look: "I like to use Sanazaroo face paints first and then I use the naked palette to blur details so that they will look more realistic." 

Artist Tip: "Use coconut oil first when removing any Halloween makeup. Then always cleanse the face afterwards to prevent getting any clogged pores."

Vanity Belle OC Turns Two!

PARTY PARTY PARTY

 WOW! What an exciting celebration we had last month ringing in two years at our Orange County location. Let me tell you one thing, we know how to throw a party! The blue doors flung open and 6 pm and we celebrated till the DJ begged to go home!!

To transform the salon into a party space, we invited other local companies to partake in the celebration. We love supporting other local and small businesses. Let me give you a glimpse of what we had going on.

A party isn’t a party unless there is good food and free flowing drinks. Cadre Coffee supplied us with the caffeine to get our blood pumping to the beats. Their unique coffee bar is a great new idea to have at any event. Susie Cakes brought the sweets. Their mini cupcakes and cookies had all the guest with a sweet tooth busy. They left without a single left over. For the 21 and over crowd, Bottles and Blooms killed it with their champagne bar. Their festive holiday add ins to our favorite bubbly drink was a grand slam. Not to mention the flower arrangements they supplied brought our salon alive. We give a big round of applause to these three vendors.

Vanity Belle is all about unveiling our beauty. To bring the fashionista out of everyone, we invited Love and Whiskey to create a mini pop up to offer the top styles in fashion. It took all I had to not buy everything she brought. As the guest strolled outback, they were stepping into a full on pamper patio.  Rox Spa Newport Beach were offering free hand pumpkin peels. Feeling my hands after, I wanted to get it done to my whole body. While the guests were waiting in line for the peels, Massage Experts were relieving all the tension they had been carrying from the week with free back massages. There is something about a massage that takes you out of reality for a second and you walk away feeling free. Pearlesque Box was also hanging out on the patio with their boxes on display. They are the perfect people to connect with if you are wanting to try new organic beauty products. With their subscription you can get a box sent to your house each month with fun new products to try.

The party wouldn’t be complete without bumping jams! Visions entertainment had the tunes going till he couldn’t spin any longer. He actually had good music too!! It was not the music you hear when you go to an awkward retirement party, we were all getting down! A must given shout out to Jim Kennedy Photography for snapping awesome head shots of the guest in front of our famous paper flower wall. He knows what he is doing when he is behind the camera. David Parks was also behind a camera at the party. He was documenting the event play by play. We are so stoked to share the video he has put together. Keep an eye open for that in the future.

We would like to give a thanks to all the vendors above along with Alex & Ani – Charity by Design for the amazing donations for the raffle and swag bags. I am just saying you all missed out on some stellar swag. Free cupcake coupons, $50 spa gift cards, one of a kind Vanity Belle bags, and much more. It was a big step up from the Chinese finger war toy and cheap candy you used to get when you left a party when you were just a kiddo.

Overall turning two was a BLAST!! We hope to catch you all next year when we celebrate three years of UnVeiling your Beauty in Orange County!
