sunny theme parks

Saturday my dear friend Christina and I ventured to Canada's Wonderland...yes we're 25 years old and yes we enjoy rollercoasters and playing midway games. I haven't seen Christina since December because for the majority of the year she lives in London.  We actually didn't go on that many rides, but mainly just walked around talking, catching up, and soaking in the amazing weather we were blessed with for the day!  The park is still closed, but open on weekends for corporate days (which made for less crowds and small lineups!)....a little perk of working in the office life!

[ FAT ] Day Four - Dress Code

Day Four.  Definitely the most exciting of the days, as they usually save the most eccentric designers for the end.  The turn out is also the biggest because it's the closing show, so that usually calls for a pretty big party!  I just love working with Make Up For Ever products.  Over the past few years they have really re-branded themselves and come out with some amazing new products (personal faves: HD foundation and Aqua Black eyeliner....yum!)  I finally got some light at my station which made the touch ups a whole lot easier, and I think drew in more people in general.  My good friend Jenn tagged along for the evening and we had a blast!

I'll leave you with a few photos:

Cutest Jacquie..aka my former boss all dressed up for the Royal Wedding! Ha ha, love you!

Miss Jenn....my lovely "model"/sidekick.

Some bright lights on the products! I love colour.

Showing off my skills...hah.

[ FAT ] Day Three - Fashion/Unfashion

Day Three.  Due to unforseen circumstances I had to miss Day Three of the show, but I'm back for Day Four and plan to take plenty of photos to make up for it! :)

[ FAT ] Day Two - Natural Currencies

Day Two.  Again a lot of rain, and zero lighting (really praying for some for Day Three).  Ate that piece of pizza backstage that I told myself I wouldn't, whoops (after all, what's the point of going to bootcamp if you're going to sit all day at your office and then wolf down pizza? hah). The runway models had such a pretty look for Day 2.  It was this bronzey/gold/glittery highlighted eye/face that was just gorgeous!  It kind of made me wish I was doing makeup backstage, because I don't think any of the guests in the media lounge would let me cover them in glitter.  But I guess you never know.  Included are just a few shots before the room got crowded!

 I love this magazine.

This is where the musical entertainment would perform between runway shows.

Actually the most comforable chairs!

After 1 day, we need a vaccum.

Instagram makeup station!
