I'm Back with a beauty vengeance

AS you can probably tell, I haven't been blogging at all in the last while! But I'm back with a vengeance and determined to stick at this now! I'll tell you a bit about what I've been up to and my life now :) I think I lost hope when dreams of makeup artistry came tumbling down, die to the current economic climate..and due to the realization that certain makeup counters care more about sales than actual makeup. you could do a makeover on a clown to look more like a clown and it didn't matter as long as you sold the products! I have more pride than that! I then went into the fashion industry and by god was that crazy! And sooo not me! But now I', sticking to what I'm good at. Beauty & Makeup. I am a working beauty therapist running a business with a friend and loving it. Being your own boss you get to put your ethics and beliefs first and I believe providing the best treatment as possible is important more than whacking out a few crappy makeovers or nail treatments to get bucks in! I would advise clients coming to me not to be in a rush as I like to give a perfected relaxed and in time with the "energetic flow" or creative energies/aura's that are in the room at the time. Not to get all hippie on you but you know what I mean. If clients are at their most relaxed and got the full potential out of the treatment they will come back and that's the best sales strategy out there! Aoife's (my gorgeous partner and creator of Total-Beauty) specialty is nails with the best gel nails I've ever seen. Her creativeness has no end! Mine, would be massage and make-up most definitely! And next week we are both attending a period makeup workshop! 1920's, 1940's/50's (As you know I'm period makeup mad) so I'm definitely looking forward to that! I'm going to be posting beauty news, my own opinions on products & treatments and my life as it evolves into the never ending beauty world. X Shell X
