WHAT: San Francisco Glaminar
WHERE: W San Francisco

We had a huge $550 make-up kit from NYX Cosmetics 
A ZUCA Pro Bag from ZUCA BAGS
2 Dinair Complete Airbrush Kits with HOT PINK compressors
An entire brush sets with from my favorite, Crown Brush
GIFTBAGS: (I loved the Charlene, a girl who came to the very first Glaminar ever, in LA, brought her tote bag from then...they look way different now!)
What was inside?

An Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Stalker or Uzi
One of my favorite smudgey eyeshadow brushes from Crown Brush
A cute shirt from a very addictive beauty site: www.beautylish.com
(beautylish also gave us the Say Yes to Carrots  Organic lip balms to give away! Thanks BeautyLish!)
Ivi Scents "super yummy" soap
and some Professional Make-Up Artist Catalogs and Info...and some secret things for success for people that came to the PRO class! (Can't show you because they are a very special somethings for people who come to the Glaminar to help launch their careers!)
you can't have a glaminar without cupcakes! 
And these were some of the best we've ever had!
Kara's Cupcake's in San Francisco are amamzing!
(I ate at least half a dozen...hee hee, they were mini's though!)
No one will ever know just how incredible the day is at a Glaminar, unless you've been there...
yeah you leave with all kinds of tips and tricks for make-up that I can't share on youtube (too many things that need to be explained on why I do each step)...
yes you learn secret Pro make-up products that no one's probably even ever heard of on Youtube, Pro make-up supplies and places to get things....
 BUT THE REAL PART is:
people don't know that they will leave this day...a changed person...with new happiness, so much confidence it'll change their future...their career, their relationships....
they'll learn how to change the world around them...how to be unforgettable....
and most importantly how to change their lives....make their dreams real...
and how to sparkle in a world full of mean, cynical people...that have no hope!
WOW FACT:
I was so honored to meet a precious girl, Shahidah Roslan, who flew all the way from SINGAPORE to be at this "almost last" Glaminar! She was precious and so sweet and her camera had just died when we went to take a picture and mine was done too!
San Francisco was amazing...people clapped, cheered, cried, laughed, screamed...like no other city has yet! I will always remember each precious person that I hugged!

THE VERY LAST GLAMINAR will be in Los Angeles! 
in 2 weeks on December 5th...
it will be one of our biggest....with special surprises because it's our last one....
it will also probably very sad for me...to know it's the last one...
I can't wait though!
I am truly honored to be a part of so many precious people's lives...and my heart is so honored and humbly thanks each one of you for letting me into your heart and inspiring you all!

Thank you so much....for letting me into your lives...even if we've only "met online"...that's how lots of marriages have started...so it's not that weird! ha ha ha ha

huge love to you all... (I will be taking a rest to have baby and be with my family, and focus on some other projects...exciting ones for you guys too!) in LA:

huge love my precious hearts......a very honored, kandee

Things I take off every night!

These are the things that get removed from being strapped, buckled, clasped or hooked onto me everynight! ha ha ha

Clockwise starting with my WATCH:
MY WATCH~ was handmade for me by one of my dear friends...sadly, he no longer makes these amazing watches..but if I can convince him to...I will be the first to give you his information!
(secret stash....I have a few of his watch creations left....and maybe, I might put a couple up for sale on ebay...not sure when or anything though!)
Behind my watch is my awesome Hello Kitty Phone cover that one of my friends, Karawn, made me!

TURQUOISE ACRYLIC BOW RING~ I got this in London at a little vintage store in Camden Market...it was super cheap, and I've tried to find where I could find them online..and I haven't found anything yet! I love this ring! I did get a cheap black one at Forever 21, it was much smaller though.

YELLOW FLOWER RING~My lil' sister got me this...I love it...she got it at Nordstrom's in the Brass Plumb department...it was a while ago though.

My BLACK LEATHER CUFF~ I made this, all by myself! I used to make jewelry...necklaces, bracelets and things....I made this sooooooo many years ago! I love it though.

SPIKEY EARRING: I can't remember where I got them (maybe forever 21?!?)...I have the other one, but I like wearing mix match earrings.

MY FEATHER EARRING: I got this from my friend Cardi, she hand makes these in LA (you can find her at the Melrose Trading Post on Sundays (kinda on the corner of Fairfax & Melrose)...they are amazing, and no 2 are alike! You can go to her etsy store, but buy quickly because they sell out super fast! I've never seen feather earrings as beautiful as hers!
CLICK HERE to see her store Salvage LA on etsy: www.esty.com
Look at how beautiful this one is!! I can't stop looking at the colors and patterns.....art work to hang by your ear! I love it!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
MY SUPREME NECKLACE~ I got it at the Renegade Craft Fair in downtown LA...it's from a Cutlass Supreme Car...I love it, and I pretty much wear it everyday of my life! ha ha ha
 The girl who made it doesn't have anymore, BUT one of my friends had some SUPREME necklaces made...she only has a small amount left..
you can order them, I'm not sure, but I think they are around $34-$35 US dollars.  You can email her: pinkyloco@ymail.com or go to her facebook page: CLICK HERE 
and find out more. She's super nice.

And that's what my dresser, or little night table looks like everynight...after I've taken off all my "kan-cessories"...ha ha ha

and I type this with naked fingers, wrists, ears and neck...ha ha ha

How to HEAT things up this FALL! (with your make-up)

I decided to do an twist on the fall make-up look...instead of bringing the color of Autumn to you eyes..browns, golds, auburns, maroons.....I decided to warm up the face...do a dramatic eyeliner (with a special lil' trick I throw in to get "extra" dark liner)...
 a spicey-nude mouth and the most beaituful gold=peach glow to the cheeks!

Get ready to be a fall show-stopper, as you wait in line for your salted caramel hot chocolate, or pick out the perfect pumpkin!

WHAT I USED IN THE VIDEO:
BRONZER: (to add warmth, not sparkle)...I used BLUNT from MAC
WHY I LIKE IT: It's add warmth, makes the face look slimmer and more tan & there is no sparkle in it, it's completely matte!
BRONZER BRUSH: I used the FLAT BRONZER brush from Crown Brush (www.crownbrush.com)

EYESHADOW PALETTE:
  I am in love with this palette right now! BEN NYE FALL 2010 Eyeshadow Palette in #2 (you might have to call and ask them, because I can't find this palette in their catalog... (310) 839-1984 or website: www.bennyemakeup.com
WHY I LIKE IT: It has the most amazing range of colors, that are very pigmented, will last incredibly long, they are designed for film and tv so they color is so rich. Every color will look amazing on everyone..to do a smokey eye in grey, plumb, grey-brown, taupe...these colors are just AMAZING! This could be the only palette I would ever use!

EYELINER: any black eyeliner, I used SMOLDER from MAC
MASCARA: L'Oreal Double Extend Tubes

LIPLINER: Naked from Urban Decay  www.urbandecay.com
 WHY I LOVE IT: the most amazing nude color ever,super smooth and longlasting
and PLUMB from MAC- to add some depth and make the lips look fuller!

PINK HIGHLIGHT LIP COLOR: LipSurgence natural matte Lip Color from TARTE in LUCKY
(www.tartecosmetics.com)

WHY I LIKE IT: It's a soft baby pink, totally matte, ultra-long wearing, has a great peppermint flavor, and feels like velvet on your lips...AND it's totally natural, no paraben, petroleum, or any other unhealthy stuff...animal cruelty FREE and vegan...and it makes your lips plumper naturally!

BLUSH: ANy peachy browns will work....I used PEACHES N PINK from MAC, TANTONE from MAC, and MOCHA from MAC.

with an angled blush brush from Crown Brush again..

I love this look...super glam, sleek AND the best part is, it's REALLY FAST!!!!!

So sit back, grab a cup of hot chocolate and watch as I show you how to add some warmth and beauty to that pretty face of yours!


happy cozy day by the fire...and a mug full of yummy hot chocolate ....your kandee
