Friday's Favs...and a little somethin else.

I will start off this post with our favs then we will get to the really good stuff!! I do loooove Friday's favorites just because it gives everyone some great new products to try out.




Kortnie's fav- BEAUTY BLENDERS!!! I am ADDICTED!!! If I have ever done your makeup I have most definately used one of these little guys!! They are amazing! They look like eggs and they have a soft seude texture. These blenders are the most reliable tool...We use these to blend everything from eyeshadow to blush to foundation. Beauty blenders are latex free non allergenic and odor free and they are very easy to clean and reuse. For more info on the beauty blenders go to beautyblenders.net

Britt's Fav- Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner: We love this product because it is a gel based liner that stays blendable for 60 seconds after you put it on then is budge-proof for the rest of the day! Depending on the size of the brush you are using, you can make a very thin line or give a bold look by making a thicker line across your eyelid. For a new look try "winging" the liner a bit beyond the edge of the eye. It gives in instant glam look!  Next I am soo excited to tell you guys about the photshoot we did with Cloud 9 Bridal and Megan Renae Photography. We had so much fun working with all of these girls!! We went into the shoot with a vintage chic theme in mind and it was gorgeous!! From the girls to the setting and the dresses...Oh the dresses!!! Brides let me say this.. There is no need to even venture out of Peoria any more for a wedding dress!! Cloud 9 has the most amazingly beautiful dresses you will die. I'd DIE!!  Rachel the owner is also the sweetest person to work with you will loove her! Also our photographer Megan of Megan Renae Photography did such a beautiful job carrying out the vision for this whole shoot. She is beyond talented and has an eye for what she does! Anyways the proof is in the pudding and here are a few pics. Happy Friday!

Friday's Favorite Things!!!

We are starting a new tradition...Now on Friday's we are going to give you two favorite things. Some of these things we use regularly when working and some of the things we just love for every day:) So lets get started!!!

Kortnie's favorite thing- I chose this as my favorite thing because its something I work with and something I personally cannot live without. The product is Urban Decay Eyeshadow and the color is called Sin. It is a pigment rich eyeshadow and it goes on flawlessly and its always my go to shadow. I personally use it everyday on myself because it gives your eyes a sparkle and glow. You can find this eyeshadow at Sephora and it retails for $17.

Brittany's favorite thing- Nuturing Force Blot Out Offensive Shine and Oil Control Cream. This cream is a Bloved staple. We use it on all of our brides. Blot Out makes skin into an instant matte / anti-shine canvas for you to apply makeup, a HD primer and barrier cream that controls oil secretion throughout the day, providing excellent adhesion for all Airbrushed applications (Water, Alcohol & Silicone Airbrushed Foundations), all Foundations including: Liquids, Powders, Creams Makeup, Mineral Makeup + Body Art. We loooove this cream for not only brides but everyday use. For more info go to nurturingforce.com.

 Hopefully everybody has a great weekend!! Remember Always.B.Loved.

All Things B.Loved

Oh.. where to start?? So much is happening with B.Loved right now its hard to know where to begin. We have been very busy this fall to say the least. We have been booked every weekend with multiple weddings, we did our first bridal show and we just did another photo shoot last weekend with Deidre Lynn  Photography. I must say this Deidre is one of our dearest friends and has been more than kind to us from the moment we started B.Loved. She does all of our shoots with us and they are always beyond words. Just to share a story about Deidre from years past in 6th grade we were all assigned to make an Egyptian project most kids brought in the typical pyramid...not Deidre she had made a mask of King Tut...and let me tell you it was no ordinary mask it was brilliant. Even then as a 6th grade little girl she was insanely talented!!! We tell you that just to say some people are just born to do what they do and Deidre is one of those people her art and creativity shine through her work and we couldn't be more impressed by her. Thanks Deidre. Hopefully as we get more organized over here we will be able to add some of the beautiful brides we have had the privilege to work with. Hope you enjoy some of the pics from our shoot!!! Always. B.Loved
