Glam Ur Ink!



We're launching the hottest thing to hit the west coast! We'd like to introduce to you, Glam Ur Ink! Have a tattoo? Don't cover it up to go to a wedding or special event! Dress up your tat to go to the club, go on a date, or just to get attention! You've thought about what art you'd like to display forever...now show it off!

What is Glam Ur Ink?!
It's a glitter tattoo and it lasts 7-10 days! So go ahead...shower, change clothes, wear it day and night for several days! It will last till your honeymoon, looks amazing in the sun, and accents your ink at night! Big or small, our goal is not to cover up your art but to accent and draw attention to it! Add Swarovski crystals along with the glitter tattoos to add more sparkle!

Featured in our shoot, are dresses from Dolly Couture in LA (www.dollycouture.com). We worked with 2 of the best photographer in the wedding business: Eric Hedman (www.ewhphoto.com) and James Hong (www.perpixelphoto.com)...these guys are so unique and have such a wonderful eye for all things beautiful. I love how Eric uses everything around him to create lighting, and ambiance to every photo with detail to accentuating the beauty in every shot. James has an eye for bringing nature to life as a frame around his subject. You can't help but feel comfortable around him, and he manages to pull out the most natural smile from each model. I loved watching both photographers take their passion and turn it into an art form.

So show off! We guarantee people will be talking everywhere you go!

Trial Run Tips for the Busy Bride

You want to be as prepared as possible for your trial run. The more research you do, the better your trial run will be. Your hairstylist should know what questions to ask, but depending on how busy the salon is...these might be things they don't think to ask...but if you've already thought of them, things will go more smoothly.

Photobucket

What to bring to your trial:
Lots of Photos
Hairpieces
Veil
Tiara
Hair Accessories
Jewelry

What to wear?
To my trial? YES! We don't dress up very much these days, so you may not be used to a more formal style...but once you put on your wedding dress, it will look amazing. SO, for your trial, wear a white or light shirt, and preferably something that's a little dressy. Bring your jewelry if you have it, and if you're not getting your hair and makeup done at the same time, wear makeup, similar to the lightness/heaviness you're looking to wear the day of your wedding.

Where is your wedding?
Is your wedding by the beach? In a hotel/church? In an outside garden? Think about the weather conditions. Being so close to the beach, we do many beach weddings. For being outdoors in general, it's better to at least have your hair 1/2 up or all up. There's always the possibility of a breeze. You don't want to have that perfect picture...except for that one hair that blew across your face! You also need to to consider humidity, when outdoors. An up do or 1/2 up will look better for longer in this sort of weather.

What are you used to?
Are you used to your hair all up, or all down? Are you used to volume or more of a sleek look?
Keep this in mind when you are looking for styles. Do all the pictures you like have the same style (big curls, all sleek, etc.)? If they're all different with no common elements, you may need to wait on your trial till you have a clearer picture of what you really want.

What your hair can and can't do...
Be realistic. If your hair is short, or has a lot of layers it may be harder to pull off some up do's or sleek looks. If you don't have thick hair, you may want to consider hair pieces to help your look be fuller. Tell your stylist what you would ultimately like, but have some realistic options in mind as well.

*What if what you like, is not necessarily what your fiance likes?
You can try to create a happy medium, but ultimately you want to feel confident on your special day, and really....he loves you for who you are. So if you can be happy with what he likes and feel confident...go for it, but if not...do what makes you feel pretty.

Don't forget:
  • Your hair will always relax in time, so curls that are a little tighter are ok (unless the curls are pinned).
  • If you don't like your style during the trial...get it redone during the appointment. Its just a style, they didn't cut, color, or do anything permanent, so don't freak out! It can be fixed.
  • Go somewhere after! Plan a night out with your friends or a family member! Take advantage of your formal style!
Have a happy trial run!

Lana: "I went to a few of Marzette's make up classes and loved them! She's so helpful and sweet and makes the classes personal to the make up you already have and suggests some great new products!"

Mariah: "I went to The Wow factor's makeup class, I learned the proper colors to wear on my face, how to apply my blush and how to make my cheeks highlighted and darker. I learned that makeup is an illusion, and different makeup looks (light lip with dark eye, etc), what makeup looks are good for school/weekends, and how to apply eye makeup according to the shape of my little beady eyes. I can't wait to go to another class! I'm bringing friends next time!"

Cindy: "I recently went to The Wow Factor's, bring your own makeup class, I wasn't sure what to expect or what even I would be able to take from it. I soon realized that with a few tips, in a class like this, I could do my own makeup with what I ALREADY had, and have it look like a professional did it. I would highly recommend anybody to come attend these classes! It will be well worth your time!"

Hope to see you there!
