MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

Categories: friends & family, general, health & beauty, MAC, makeup artist, mikadoesmakeup, spa, vancouver, vancouver mobile makeup artist, videoTags: cosmetics, MAC, makeup, mascara, new, product, review, vancouver, videoAuthor: mika

MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara is almost as good as my all time fave mascara: Voluminous by L’oreal. It is more unique though because of its 2 different wands out of the same opening… Quite amazing actually, I’ve never seen anything like it. I used the hot pink wand first, because it has a lighter application. Then I used the purple sparkly wand for a heavier application. I curled my eyelashes a few times in between once my lashes were dry. I believe this is is MAC’s best mascara. Try it out if you want sexy eyelashes!

Hey all! Here is a short but sweet write-up about our STUDIO on Sweetspot by Adele … Check it out!

Studio Time

the studio by mika does makeup Vancouver (Nov.05.10)

Winning the lottery is hitting the financial jackpot. Finding a spot where you can get all your pampering services in one place is hitting the beauty jackpot.

That’s why we feel pretty flush when we pay a visit to The Studio, a bright new beauty haven from aesthetician Mika Morris.

Treatments run the gamut from massages (from $35) to waxing (from $10) to tinting (from $10). We struck it big with The Diva in Me studio package ($175), which includes a mani/pedi, lash extensions and full makeup application. And for brushing up on a beauty skill or two, the 60-minute Tricks of the Trade course ($100) is gold.

Talk about a winner.

The Studio – a review by Erin Ireland from itstodie4.com

Categories: entertainment, esthetics, fall, fashion, friends & family, general, health & beauty, mikadoesmakeup, trends, vancouverTags: french, manicure, studio, vancouverAuthor: mika

This is a short but sweet review from Erin Ireland (itstodie4.com) after she had a manicure at THE STUDIO by MikaDoesMakeup on 1054 Hornby Street!

“Mika’s new Hornby Street studio is absolutely adorable and incredibly comfortable. The pedicure chairs are huge and luxurious which adds to the stress-relieving experience. Yana performed my manicure, which is flawless. She is skilled and has obviously had a lot of experience. She was also very helpful in helping me select the right colors to achieve the look I was going for. I’m rough on my hands (lots of baking and washing dishes) but five days later, the polish job is still perfectly intact. Not only did Yana give me a great service, she helped me with my Italian during the process! She is Russian but lived in Italy for seven years – thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her, although didn’t feel forced to. She is extremely laid-back but focused. Thank you so much Mika and Yana – I will see you again very soon.”

Back 2 MAC recycling program

Categories: bride, esthetics, friends & family, general, health & beauty, MAC, makeup, makeup artist, mikadoesmakeup, model, vancouver, vancouver mobile makeup artistTags: beauty, cosmetics, MAC, makeup, mika, program, recycling, vancouverAuthor: mika

MAC cosmetics has the best Recycling Program that beats any beauty/cosmetics company out there… It’s called “Back to MAC” and I stand beside it 100%. All you have to do it use MAC products, save the used containers and bring them back to MAC when you have accumulated 6 containers, compacts, or anything else that has “Back 2 MAC” on the packaging. Once you bring the 6 empty containers back, you receive a free lipstick, lipglass or eyeshadow! How cool is that?

I especially like taking all my MAC lipsticks and emptying them out into see-through containers so it’s easier for me to spot my favorite colors. I always commend companies who incorporate recycling and green living into their corporate world! Start recycling today with MAC cosmetics!
