Valentine’s Day Boudoir

As our ladies get ready, the Britney Spears dance station booms on Pandora, final touches are placed for hair and makeup, and everyone sips some Champagne Bellinis (my new favorite drink!)  We had 5 girls come to our new boudoir studio space in Huntington Beach this past weekend, to create some smokin’ hot gifts for the men in their lives.  Some of the gals wanted Valentine’s Day Gifts, or as a Wedding Day surprise, or just because!

Below is a repost of a picture-collage my talented beauty-artist-friend Danielle created.  (You can follow her adventures on Instagram HERE.)  I love how she was able to capture all the details and the experience from our client’s point of view. 1) Our beautiful bed. 2) Homemade red velvet cupcakes with sprinkles and carrot cupcakes, both with creme cheese frosting.  3) Strawberry yogurt pretzels 4) Corin’s awesome “I do makeup” necklace.  5) Hair styling basket with flat iron, curler, brushes, and styling products.  6) Face makeup including eyeshadows, foundation, lipstick, blush, and false eyelashes (the single application of lashes came out awesome).  7) Outfit options.  8) Feather mask.  9) Vase of fresh flowers.  10)  Accessories, including pearls!

The light was beautiful all day long in my beach cottage.  I wanted a soft look so we photographed everyone in natural lighting.  Backgrounds were intentionally simple, bright, and clean, so the focus would be on the ladies.  The new decor really pulled everything together.  Heart headboard is from Pier1 Imports, Shabby Chic Lace white bedding from Target, rustic linen ottoman from Joss and Main, handmade glass chandelier from Italy.

Here’s some action shots of Corin of Something New Hair and Makeup, followed by some of my favorite images.

The next few are some behind the scene’s shots from the glam makeover done by Danielle.
