WSSM

I love to write. I love to surf. I love beauty and fashion. So when I saw an opportunity to collaborate with the premier women's surf/style magazine I went for it!  I have been working as the beauty editor for Women's Surf and Style Magazine for one year now and love it!  I am able to combine my love for all of the above together and give back with expression and advise on helpful beauty tips to the masses. This magazine is bi-annual and sold in Barnes and Nobels, Borders, Books-a-Million and Hollister all over North America and Europe.  The team behind the magazine are as awesome as the magazine it self.  
Pick it up next time your in the book store and endulge! Xx R xX

SPAIN ON TOP OF THE WORLD

VIVA ESPAÑA!!!

Most who know me know that I am a devoted lover of football and the Spaniards are my team.  I am SO proud of their journey these last 4 years, watching them climb to so many victories, becoming the Euro Cup Champions and now sweeping the world for the very first time in history as the World Cup 2010 Champions!  ~Football is truly the window to the world~
The next world cup will be in Brasil and there is NO WAY I will not be present for that party... Im samba'ing at the thought of it!

PERFORM BEAUTIFULLY WITH OAKLEY

I was really stoked to collaborate with Oakley's awesome team for their new ad campaign "Perform Beautifully".  As a LONG time surfer and having so many of my friends who ride on Oakley's team, it was easy for me to fit in with their vibe, that created the feeling that I have been working them with for years...  

We had many, MANY laughs while fighting the gale force winds on the cliffs of San Diego under the sun...  Katrina Hodgens is a serious fitness expert with a beautiful spirit and fantastic sense of humor. We knew when we both pulled avocados out of our bags (never go to a shoot with out one!) that we were going to be great friends :)  She and her partner Karina of TONEITUP!  are the queens of fitness on youtube with tons of clever fitness ideas and delicious health information- check them out and get hooked! 
Another rad day at the office creating with amazing people!

J'adore!


That's a wrap!


I never stop realizing how lucky I am to have a job that allows me to not miss out of life's most beautiful treasures like this sunset...


SHOOT WITH ERIK ALMAS



My favorite shoots are ones where I get to work with my talented friends and meet new ones as well.
This was the case when shooting with my friend and amazing photographer Erik Almas for The Ritz Carlton last week.  We shot on the floor of the Staples Center (GO LAKERS!) and the beautiful stage of the Nokia theater.  The whole crew was AMAZING. We laughed the whole time we created...

Sandra and our stand in Lion for Felix the Lion who was sadly not allowed on the Staples center floor- boo!

I couldn't resist! How many opportunites does one get to own the floor alone where the LAkers perform their magic?

THE GREAT ROCK N ROLL SWINDLE...

Malcom Mclaren was not on my "favorites" list. I am a loyal SEX PISTOL fan, a die hard as a teenager, and he was their controversial manager known for a selfish agenda while holding that title.HOWEVER. Malcom Mclaren was very impacting to the British punk movement as well as in the fashion industry collaborating with his girl, Miss Vivienne Westwood. 
both fashion and that punk movement have mean a lot to me and have definitely influenced me as an artist. So that said, I fell compelled to write a little R.I.P to Malcom Mclaren who passed away today at the age of 64 yrs old.

Sometimes even  conterversial people that did not sit highly in your respect zone, still deserve to be remembered.

MEET MARK.

OK it's time for me to talk makeup.  A lot of people ask me what my favorite brand to use is to be honest there are so many amazing brands of makeup out there it's hard to single it down to one.  I can definitely talk about my favorites though. The brands I will rely on at least one of their products on every single makeup gig I work.  

Meet Mark.

Mark Cosmetics is a fun, innovative makeup brand who puts as much attention into the quality of their products as well as their cute and clever packaging... Something that is not always the case with other brands but something that makes all the difference to me.

Today I am exposing a few of my favorite products from Mark and show you a look created with all Mark cosmetics. 

1. SEE THINGS CLEARLY BRIGHTING MOSITERIZER- 
I am a fanatic about fresh, healthy skin and this product feeds my frenzy for it by hydrating and brightening the skin with its Lotus flower and Citrus blend.  Its oil-free, non- comedogenic AND fragrance free so it doesn't irritate it only radiates the skin!






2. GOOD RIDDANCE CONCEALER-
OK when I LOVE a product I can't stop talking about it. This is one of my favorite finds in a LONG time.  This little pencil of goodness provides a beautiful, natural, skin perfecting finish and is as easy to apply as signing your name!  Just apply wear needed and blend your fingers or a foundation brush. Its oil free and fits easily in your bag for touch ups.  I never leave home with out mine!






3. JUST PINCHED TINTED BLUSH-
Next to mascara BLUSH is my favorite piece of makeup. It's got one of the worst reputations over the years thanks to the 80's intense use of it but it is the product that will take you from looking tired and dull to youthful and fresh if applied right.  I love JUST PINCHED INSTANT TINTED BLUSH.  This blush goes on smoothly and blends a beautiful "just pinched" flush of color into the skin.  Much easier to carry in your bag than a powdered blush with a brush too!




4. LASH SPLASH-
Well here it is. Mascara. My MUST HAVE ALWAYS makeup product. I do train jiujitsu and surf with this product on! The only thing I don't do with it is sleep with it (gross).  It's an INSTANT "hello, Im awake" to the face.  With summer around the corner I like to use a waterproof formula like lash splash because it fills my every need. Definines, lengthens, doesn't smudge but disappears when I cleanse at night. 






5. MARK KISSINK TINTED LIP MARKER-
Im a big fan of durability with my makeup products, the less reapplying the better!  I love Mark's Kissink tinted lip marker because it's a marathon winner. It provides a kissable stain of color over the lips and doesn't move until YOU want it to.





6. MARK GLO BABY GLO LIP GLOSS-
As a professional makeup artist I have CONTAINERS of all kinds of lip-glosses from a million different brands.  Mark's glo baby glo lip-gloss seems to ALWAYS find it self into my hands when working because it simply works amazing. It's not sticky; it does in fact create a "glow" over the lips and applies the PERFECT amount of color while hydrating. It's a super sexy way to complete your look and what woman doesn't love to look sexy?  



***THE FINAL LOOK***
A fresh, romantic, look that will last for hours and hours!
