Hi Anna Only a pleasure! I'd love to hear what you think of Aqua!! Hi Jenny I know - the lounge is such a great deal break and mood setter! We however decided to scrap it as the "Garden of Senses" (on the Aqua property, secluded area) has outdoor seating around the fountain etc. -

Hi! The planning is going very well and we have already booked our date at Aqua. Average for food per person was $200.00 and the majority of the venue aspects are included in that price. The wedding co-ordinator has been absolutely amazing and she get's back to us within a day or 2. She also has obtained outside quotes for us for our specific needs (such as tables etc etc that they may not have). I continually hear amazing remarks about the hotel. Good Luck! -
I dyed my crinoline... myself
lhc007 replied to ErinB's topic in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings
Love this! I'm having black under mine . . . but purchashing black and grey tulle instead of dying it - it has such a beautiful effect. Matching your shoes to the color looks marvelous on camera too! -
Definately have the trial done with the person your'e intending to do your make-up. You need to know what to expect and you definately don't want any nasty surprises on the day! I'm a pro-makeup artist in the L.A. area and have hardly ever not done trials. Even if a bride is an out of towner, I'll make a plan to try and get the trial. Too, the mua should supply everything, but as suggested - take your fave mascara and lip shade just for assurance! If you need any advice don't hesitate to ask!

Aqua Cancun
lhc007 replied to lhc007's topic in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas
Thank you ladies! We actually have gone ahead and decided to have Aqua as our location. It's "so us" and fits perfectly into our budget - somehow!!!!! Too, unlike other location wedding co-ordionators, we have had quick responses from the co-ordionator and all the information we have requested has been given ultra quick. -
Eyelash Extensions *post ALL info here*
lhc007 replied to jajajaja's topic in Beauty, Exercise, Diet
Yes, you definately can - be sure though that the glue is completely dry and that you have revomed any excess that may have dried on the lid. It's best to use a liquid eye liner or stick to black shadow to hide the lash tracks and give a "pow" factor! -
Eyelash Extensions *post ALL info here*
lhc007 replied to jajajaja's topic in Beauty, Exercise, Diet
I use Ardel lashes on the brides I do make-up for - they are inexpensive and look very natural. You can purchase from most drug stores - look out for their pink and black packaging. They also stock individual lashes. For lasting wear - buy the DUO surgical adhesive from MAC. It enables all day wear compared to the glues supplied with the lashes. FYI - Use in small amounts and make sure you let it dry a little before applying onto the eye. -

Make up advice please??
lhc007 replied to emandom's topic in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas
The Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is amazing! Here's a link to some of their pther foundations. http://www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com/_us/_en/catalog/subcategory.aspx?CatCode=AXE_COSMETICS^F1_FACE^F2_ FACE_FOUNDATIONS&TopCat=F2_FACE_FOUNDATIONS Yes, I would definately recommend even a little bit of foundation - camera's pick up every flaw and blemish. A light foundation will just even your skin tone out. If you don't want a cakey look and are not used to apllying foundations - don't use full coverage foundations. Always apply with a foundation brush - gives even application! P.S. Always test foundations in person and test on the jaw line - walk outside with a compact mirror to make sure there's an exact match. P.P.S If the colors are slightly off, you can always use a loose powder to match the color. -
Make up advice please??
lhc007 replied to emandom's topic in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas
Hi! I'm a professional make-up artist in the L.A. area and would recommend the Make-up forever Mat-velvet foundations (you can vary the amount you put on and still get coverage) and cover with a thin layer of loose powder. Armani also has an amazing foundation but can be pricey. Mascaras which I use on my brides: Maybelline Define-a-lash Clinique High definition lashes. I would recommened the NARS "Orgasim" blush - it's got a slight bronze look, goes with any skin tone and is perfect for a bride! MAC is a great at teaching make-up applications - just becareful as they normaly pile in on the make-up but you can learn some great tips. The Chanel counter is great too! Take a peek at my website and if you have any questions you can always email me at one of my contact emails provided. Makeup Artist Los Angeles - Welcome to LHC Pro Makeup! -
