beauty of the week: kendall jenner

what a natural beauty! she looks like a mix of kloe + kim (minus the plastic surgery). if you don't know who kendall is, she is the one on the LEFT.

paradise bungalow photoshoot

caked up a couple of gals for Paradise Bungalow's photoshoot. photos are for their upcoming new website but you can take a peek of Paradise Bungalow's goodies on their Facebook page aqui! can we say, LURRRVELY handmade jewelry? precious metals, stones, and authentic/hand-picked shells from the pacific islands... or should i say PA-si-FI-ka? only a true Polynesian will know how to pronounce this nicely. the emPHAsis is on the FIRST and THIRD syLLAbles. their goodies are NOT made in China like the $48.00 earrings i bought from Nordstroms, which will probably tarnish sooner than later. (yes, i'm quite bitter now.)

anyway, here are some photos from the prep:

thought we'd try a play w/ color. NYX green from their Caribbean palette. can somebody guess these lashes?


blurry photo, sorry.


perfect cheekbones. can you believe this chica complains about redness? there is absolutely NO redness in her skin right now.


colorful but natural.
