Great beauty product!

Hey there bloggers!

 

I have another great recommendation for you! I, as well as my roommates, have started using an awesome new product – The Simply Body Soap Net. Personally, this comes in extremely handy and I’m sure you all will agree. Alright, so we all know that your bar of soap in the shower becomes slippery and fragile after many uses right? Inevitable! On another downside, the softness of a typical bar of soap does nothing to exfoliate the skin so all of the dirt and grime from the day washes away. In comes Soap Net! This tiny mesh net with adjustable wristband holds an entire bar of soap. The mesh helps create a more voluminous lather, while also exfoliating the skin. The wristband, with a variety of colored beads, keeps those slippery suckers from sliding right out of your hands. After using, it’s easily hung up (this is especially helpful when my bar becomes small and brittle) The Simply Body Soap Net is a wonderful product – not only beneficial to the skin, but it extends the life of your soap. My roommates agree that it makes a world of difference.

What are ya waiting for? Find out for yourself!

Introducing the newest member of the unBridaled Beauty team!


Hello everyone!

    My name is Shelby Hopkins and I am the newest member of the unBridaled Beauty team! I am extremely honored to be working with the wonderful Marcella and her exceptional team of artists. I am so excited to get settled in and make sure each of our blushing brides has a flawless wedding experience!

    Currently, I am a student at the University of Central Florida and studying Event Management with a double major in Hospitality Management. I am fascinated with the world of Hospitality and all of its avenues, from handing out lollipops at Disney World, to fluffing a brides train as she walks down the aisle. Living in Orlando, I have been immersed in the best of the best that this industry has to offer, learning and growing every step of the way.

    On the unprofessional side of things, I am a country girl at heart! Despite having grown up on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, the woods and mountains are where I feel most at home. (I swear I must’ve been born there!) I enjoy being outdoors, and gearing up for activities with friends and family. Besides, it’s okay to be a tough girl once in a while, as long as you clean up nicely, right? I was raised with southern values and cherish the support my family has always surrounded me with.

Well, that’s enough about me! Again, I am so excited to be a part of the unBridaled Beauty team and look forward to speaking with all of you!

Thank you!

Are You A Bride Who Wants More Dramatic Eyes?

My unBridaled Beauty team and I love to customize every bride's look for her wedding day. It's what makes it fun and exciting for us as artists. Brittany really wanted to make her eyes stand out and had selected a look that complimented her bronzed skin, using deeper browns, golds and lining her eyes with black to make her brown eyes pop. 

As a general rule, I do recommend brides play up the eyes. Don't worry if you cry- with primer, water/sweat-resistant airbrush makeup and waterproof mascara, we've got you covered!

Should You Be Tanning Before Your Wedding...or Ever?


Okay, yes. Aside from being a makeup artist I am also an esthetician, and yes, I believe tanning is probably the worst thing you can do for your skin. That's only if you want to have smooth, even-toned, wrinkle-free skin for as long as possible.

I'm also aware that it's going to happen (soaking up sun, that is) especially if you live in Florida and I personally love going to the beach and getting some rays myself...safely, of course. 


With that being said, I have been a bit horrified when my beautiful, young and lovely brides have confessed they were going to tanning beds "only a few times" to get a nice color before the wedding. "All it takes is a few times" I try to tell them, but I can tell they look at me like the party-pooper esthetician/makeup artist that's raining on their golden skin parade. 

What Style of Bride Are You?

Can I just say; I love my brides. Brandie was one of those brides that just reminded me of why I absolutely love doing what I do. She is fun, bright, and always has a smile on her face! (Seriously. All the time).

It was an absolute pleasure working with her on her wedding.

She's not someone that wears a lot of makeup on a day-to-day basis (although she can definitely rock it when she's going out). She's a daring, strong woman that's not afraid to pull off some bling (diamond studded piercings on her back, I might add!) She rides her very fast motorcycle, yet is feminine and beautiful, and has an inspiring strong faith. In general, she rocks. 

Here's a look at her big day:
