BIG BUSINESS: Like A Bowsss...

 Now this is how you dress like a boss....that's ready to handle some big pretend business.
This was me, a 10 year old, playing dress up like a business lady.
You should never mess with someone with shoulder pads that big, or wearing a headband like that.

And to take it to a softer side...here was me, with my mom at Christmas, where I got my first pound puppy. Did anyone else have a Pound Puppy?!?


Huge Throwback Thursday Hugs, your virtual bestie, Kandee

Bling it On: Sunglasses and Nails Like Rock Candy Jewels

(this is the FRANKIE from hertinyteeth)
Move over Ray-Ban wayfarers...
Why not have a little more fun with your crows-feet preventers.
 This is the lovely Natasha Lillipore, that became my friend the other day at the tea party which I blogged about yesterday!

She makes decorates all these sunglasses by hand, gluing each piece on, one at a time and sell them at: HERTINYTEETH.

This was her pair of choice and purse, they day I met her.


And not only did her glasses look like bejewelled rock candy, awesomeness....but look at her nails! They remind me of my favorite part on the Snow White ride at Disneyland, when you see all the jewels twinkling in the mine where the 7 dwarfs are digging away...
I've been mesmerized jewels, glitter and all things sparkly, probably since birth.
 She did her own nails, and I think I am safe to say these are the most awesome nails I've ever seen!

After all, you guys remember my beloved phone case, I made (hee hee hee):
(a couple years ago at Fashion Week, modeled by the ever fashionable Bryan Boy)

Huge hugs and tons of sparkled and jewels for your day, your virtual bff, Kandee

How To Have A Perfect Tea Party: in Beverly Hills that is


So it's official, Anastasia of the famed, Anastasia of Beverly of Beverly Hills throws the best tea parties or any party. This was my amazing time at her house with some amazing people, new friends and old ones too. You might recognize the faces above, (well besides me, Kylie Jenner and Princess Pia Mia, that made me wish I had gone with a red lip after all!)...they both really sweet.

How, adorably, "I'm so gonna instagram or pin that cake", is this:
This was Anatasia, or Anastasia of Beverly Hills, as she is known for her incredible list of celebrities that have had their eyebrows and even hairline redesigned by Anastasia. She not only has one of the most amazing success stories, huge roster of clients from Oprah to Kim Kardashian, but she has one of the most genuine and kind hearts and I love her daughter, Claudia too! I'm honorary family now....and I have her instagram to prove it! (hee hee)


Some amazing guests that became new friends. And I got to see so
me friends I've only met via twitter and friends I haven't seen in a while. Here with party planner, Andres and the beautiful, Mynxii White I love her hair and I was kind of excited because I filmed a tutorial how to make a flower head band like hers! I just need to edit it! We totally hit it off and talked about everything, even coloring your hair in the shower! ha ha ha
.

Not only is Ken Paves, a really good umbrella holder, but he is also an amazing, celebrity hair stylist.

And Troy Jensen, who is an incredible make-up artist to a huge list of celebrities. And we talked about his new make-up workshops he's going to be doing, and how fun it might be to do a video of him doing my make-up...might be fun to see someone elsed putting make-up on me besides, me! ha ha ha



Not only his Natasha Lillipore's hair amazing, her face is like a vintage doll, but her sweet mama came with her too! And my phone did something weird and made us come out all cray-cray looking!

It was the perfect tea party....with the nicest of people, which is rare at events where fashion, beauty and/or celebs are! ha ha ha ha Just goes to show that Anatasia has wonderful friends!

Huge hugs from your friend....that looks a little something like this when I pose with a HOLLYWOOD sign....

This is how I put on make-up most days....

 Most days I have about 3.5 minutes no scratch that, maybe 2 minutes to slap some foundation and mascara on and swipe on some red lipstick and liner and some mascara.

I was in a huge hurry this morning to get ready. I'm typing this from the Youtube Space in LA. And I'm surprised I even have make-up on this morning. I was trying to upload pictures from the Hyper Tea Party I went to yesterday at my friend, and just an overall amazing person, that happens to do Oprah's and many other celebrities eyebrows, Anastasia of Beverly Hills, as she is known for all her amazing eyebrow goodies!
Fast forward to internet issues, I could not upload all the photos in time before I had to leave, hence my 3.5 minute make-up.

So you may have though this was just a one time challenge, but this is more like my everyday make-up (ha ha ha):


My one exception...today I swiped on my favorite of all favorite lipliners: CHERRY from MAC and I actually did my eyebrows too! I know, fan-say!

But tomorrow I promise you will see all the wonder that was at the Tea Party, you might even be surprised to see a little well known someone's in my pictures! hee hee

And as i'm typing this in the Youtube Office Lobby, someone just slid down a giant fireman's pole, from the 2nd floor, there are guys filming a helicopter something outside, and guys playing an old school video game! Only at a Youtube office! ha ha ha ha ha This is kinda the most awesome, workspace!

Off to go be youtubey, your Kandee

3 Minute Make-Up Challenge

How fast can you put your make-up on?
I don't know of too many people that have endless amounts of time to get ready. It's either rushing to get ready for school, you have negative time to get ready if you're a mom, or you're rushing to work or anywhere really!

Now I've done a 3 Minute Make-Up Tutorial, which you can watch by clicking HERE.

But I saw a really fun MAKE-UP CHALLENGE, where you have a timer and have to put all your make-up on in 3 minutes. No thought out plan, no tutorial, just putting it on.
And since I'm always up for a challenge, here you go, the 3 MINUTE MAKEUP CHALLENGE:


And if anyone wants to know what any of the make-up I slapped on was:
FOUNDATION: L'Oreal Visible Lift (because I'm old)
CONCEALER: MAC Mineralize Concealer  (in NC20)
FACE POWDER: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation
EYESHADOW: Urban Decay Smoked Palette (It's my favorite palette right now)
EYELINER: Black Liner in Perversion from Urban Decay (it also comes with the  Smoked Palette)
MASCARA CURLER: Japonesque Eyelash Curler
MASCARA: Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara (It's drugstore but awesome!)
BLUSH: L'Oreal Rose Gold Lift Blush  (it's beautiful, creamy and dewy and I just love it!)

I was thinking it might be fun to do a challenge, of 3 Minute Make-Up On Your Mom! ha ha ha ha

And maybe, this might just be your new way to put make-up on in a quick minute or 3! Get ready because the 2 ways to Tie a Bandana tutorial will be up next!

Huge hugs and happy Friday, your virtual BFF, Kandee

Throwback Thursday: So I kinda had the same hair 12 years ago....



Happy Throwback Thursday and what better way to celebrate with some pictures from back in the day when people actually had to go get pictures developed to see them! ha ha ha ha

So, both of these pictures were taken at the same time: about 12 years ago (so yes  I was an old looking 6 year old, ha ha ha ha)

But the funny thing is, it's almost the same exact hair cut and color that I have now!  Maybe every decade this will be my haircut!
So pretty much I did NOT copy Miley Cyrus' hair, I just went back to one of my old favorite haircuts, and Miley shaved the sides....I'm not gonna do that, yet anyways! ha ha ha
These pictures were taken by my friend, Marc Cartwright, back when we were both in the beginning of our careers, me as a make-up artist, he as a photographer. We met on a shoot we were hired to do and we became friends. 
He also took this picture:

And then years later he took this picture....when my hair was wayyyy longer and back to it's natural color!

That turned out to be a buffet of throwback pics! Hee Hee
And a huge thank you to Marc always willing to have fun and "play photo shoot" with me!
When he's not shooting celebrities, he still does some head shots if anyone every needs some amazing photos, go check him out: MARC CARTWRIGHT

And there you have some fun throwbackness, or is it more like deja vu, because my hair looks the same!?! ha ha ha ha


Huge hugs from me and my "vintage" hair, your virtual BFF, Kandee

PS. And I'm off to go upload a NEW VIDEO, check my YOUTUBE in a bit!

3 Funny (Must-Have) "Cat" Bathing Suits For Summer


When I saw these, I thought these are must-have the funniest bathing suits I've ever, almost seen. And surprisingly enough, many of the suits I was going to show you guys, were SOLD OUT. So if you want to the "purrrrrfect" bathing suit this summer, I guess you might wanna buy one of these babies, er kitties, asap!
PS. The suit above is not even being sold anymore either!

#1. The Nice Kitty Swimsuit - maybe you could nickname your suit, Snowball?
But, sadly this ASOS Cat Bathing suit, is SOLD OUT!


#2. The Wild Cat Suit - even Rihanna liked this feisty feline suit!
 And althoug WE ARE HANDSOME doesn't make the "black cat suit" that Rihanna had on....
They do make this WILDCAT SUIT, that sells for $297!

#3 Saving the most ferocious cat for last, Le Tigre, or for those that don't speak Japanese, The Tiger. (j to the just K, kidding, I know that "le tigre" isn't Japanese, it's Canadian....)

Get your Tiger Catnip out with this saucy suit from BLACKMILK.
 And no, it's just not a "rawwwwwr" in the front, scare people coming and going in this baby!


And if you hate cats, well here's an EAGLE BATHING SUIT FROM WE ARE HANDSOME
"stop staring at my eagle eyes"...bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha

Get ready for at cat-tastic or eagle-riffic summer of suits! My thought is, no one will notice any "out-of-shape-ness" if I wore a crazy suit with a wild animal face on it, they'd totally be distracted by the animal face, right?!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you love these or do you think they are crazy?!?

Huge bear hugs or bear bathing suits....

your online BFF, Kandee

Ps. My video for How To Tie A Bandana 2 Ways will be up tomorrow!
