Personal Shopping Experience Via Sadiqua Gaston

I can recall my first experience with make up as a little girl always in
the mirror playing with my mother's make up. Those were the days when
the lipstick would actually be all over my face instead of on my lips
lol. I have always been interested in make up and I like the wonderful
feeling I get when I'm wearing it. Now I wouldn't call myself a pro when
it comes to putting on make up, but I know the basics to glam myself up
for a regular day or even a night on the town. Since I am a female, you

would think that this something that I probably would have perfected, or
something that my mother would have taught me. Well even if she did,
out with the old and in with the new. I had an amazing shopping
experience with my good friend Pep (make up artist) at the MAC store in
soho. In a step by step process, she showed me exactly what I would need
to keep myself looking fabulous and fresh. She took the time out to get
to know what kinds of make up I like and how I like to wear it. She was
very informative in regards to any questions I had concerning make up
or skin care. She
wrote down basic steps for me to follow on how to properly apply make
up. We went through each individual item that I would need and she
tested everything on me to make sure it was the perfect fit. We picked
out eye shadow,
foundation, blush, eyeliner, lipstick, etc. She made me feel very
comfortably because she didn't try to push me into trying certain colors
that may be a little more advanced than my past experiences. Some words
of wisdom from Pep "I should take baby steps with my make up and
eventually I can step
outside my shell and have fun with it". Pepper definitely has a good
eye for make up; she imagines your face as a clean palate just ready to
be painted. In my eyes shes a make up guru; its her passion and shes
rolling with it.

Sabon and Sunrise Mart Purchases

A while ago, I had a lame ass meeting for work at 9am -_- UGH. However, good things came from going in to work for an hour on my day off!


1. I got paid early. (YAY!)
2. I got to go shop around.


Usually on my days off, I stay home and do nothing so, it was good to shop around considering I never do so because I’m so lazy.


I went with my coworker Andrew and he took me to Sabon on 15th and 7th. We went in and I was like “oh, cute.” Then the friendly person who worked there said hello (great start =p) and asked if we were familiar with the place. I said I was not and he told me about the Sabon tradition. Basically, it’s to wash your hands with their amazing scrub. When I first went in, I didn’t want to buy anything and BOOM he sold me everything he showed me.

The scrub’s made he showed me is called Delicate Jasmine. It’s made with Dead Sea Salt and is immersed in macadamia, soya, and almond oils. The reason it’s supposed to be amazing is that the macadamia oil has an acid in it that naturally occurs in the human body, it’s bio-compatible. It works with your skin and you’re not introducing something to your skin that your body isn’t already familiar with.


I was impressed because as soon as washed my hands with it, I could tell the difference. Then he layered a Lavender Rose Body Lotion with it to compliment the sent of the Jasmine from the scrub. It’s nice and light and absorbs right into the skin!  

 As a gift (for signing up to their mailing list) I received a Kiwi Mango Olive Oil bar soap. They have a glycerin version of the soap that’s decorative but the olive oil soap is more nourishing and moisturizing for this time of the year.

After that we went to Warehouse Wine and Spirits where I got two bottles of wine cheaper than my local liquor store. We were by St. Marks so he took me to this little Japanese place where they give you 50% off the sushi and sashimi.


My other coworker had told me about a little grocery store called Sunrise Mart that’s down there and because I was in the area, I headed on over!


First of all I didn’t understand a word because I can’t read Japanese, but I managed the best I could. I ended up buying some Hello Kitty candy and some strips that go underneath the eyes. I have a BIG issue with the hydration levels underneath my eyes, that and dark circles so I decided to give it a whirl.


I did use it today and they feel nice and cool. you can leave them for 20-30 minutes or the whole night if you want intense hydration. Next week, I think I’ll leave it on overnight and see what happens! 

Sorry, no product link for these because you have to go to the actual store to get them.

My Last Personal Shopping Experience

I had a wonderful shopping experience with my client

she picked up 4 eyeshadows with a eyeshadow

quad case, along with a mascara a mascara primer,

face primer, tinted moisturizer, brow gel, liquid eyeliner, blush

and a mineral powder

must have highlighter :)

i never start any of my clients off with a pink blush if they arent make-up savvy

that can be a mistake waiting to happen.

so i prefer to start with warmer tones because they are way more easy to use

i put this quad together so she has a peachy shade for every day use and

a matte brown to contour the crease of her

a soft matte shell tone brow highlighter

and a black so she can do a smokey eye for night time

i basically set her up with the basics for

doing every day fresh face and

a clean smokey eye for work.
