Nationwide, it seems as though you can’t turn on the TV anymore without encountering one of our Jersey natives.

__________

Although some press has been better than others when it comes to our popularized state, one thing is for certain -

-WE ARE TOUGH, AND WE HAVE GOT TALENT!

__________

This past Saturday, August 28th 2010; one of our very own Toms River success stories reiterated that statement…

__________

Frankie Edgar – UFC Lightweight Champion of the World defended his prestigious title against BJ Penn at the UFC 118 in Boston by unanimous decision.

__________

There is no ‘question’ that “The Answer” has a huge fan base worldwide, but his biggest support comes from his hometown, family and friends.

__________

We are honored to have spent a very special occasion with those very same family and friends of Frankie’s on his Wedding Day, where we applied makeup for his beautiful Bride Renee and bridesmaids.

__________

__________

On behalf of myself and our shop – we wish nothing but continued love and success to the Edgar family, AND an undefeated title from now on!

__________

CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP!!!

__________

__________

September is right around the corner, and so is the beginning of a  new school year.

__________

Students and teachers alike are eager to get a fresh start for “Back to School” with new clothes, latest styles; and for those pupils transitioning into an upper grade or college – extra grooming.

__________

Boys and girls – men and women; everyone is putting the final touches on their new look – from head to toe…to brow!

__________

Eyebrows, as small and seemingly insignificant as some think, when cleanly shaped and done correctly, can completely change your face as well as open up and brighten your eyes.

__________

Take a look…!

Our makeup has come to life IN VIDEO!

As the band’s Official Makeup Artist, we are proud to present….

ENJOY!!!

Face to fase and ‘Woman to Woman’ with Dr. Lisa Vernon…

__________

__________

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Dr. Lisa Vernon while doing her makeup for a photo shoot featuring her joint medical practice many months ago.

__________

I knew right away that she was a strong, independent woman – complete with much inward and outward beauty.

__________

After receiving constant compliments on the photo from both her patients and colleagues alike, I am blessed to say that Dr. Lisa continues to patron our shop for facials, waxing and makeup!

__________

And, we are eager to support her IN HER NEW PRACTICE!!!

__________

Dr. Lisa Vernon can now be found at:

730 Lacey Road

Suite G08

Forked River, NJ  08731

609-693-2900

__________

On behalf of myself and our shop – We wish you MUCH continued success!

“All Eyes” on Our Jersey Girls!

__________

Just hours before “Team Hurley” from Toms River High School East began on their journey to Huntington Beach, CA for the US Open of Surfing, where they were chosen amongst only four other schools in the nation to compete in Hurley’s high-fashion “Walk the Walk” competition – they made a stop at face to fase for some runway-ready lashes.

__________

Our Jersey girls (and guys) looked and performed amazingly in their “catwalk meets boardwalk” procession.

__________

Adding to their “boardwalk” theme were some cleverly made over-sized props that the new grads constructed out of paper mache, in the form of all Jersey’s favorite beach-side delicacies – ice cream cones, cotton candy, fries, pizza, pretzels and of course stuffed animal prizes.

__________

Among the tens of thousands watching their performance were celebrity judges Lauren Conrad from The Hills, new cast members from 90210, Bob Hurley himself, and others.

__________

Hard work got them there…originality made them stand out…and their good looks proved to be a tough competition…

…because it is widely known that no one compares to an East Coast Jersey Girl!

So, this competition proves that we are in a category all our own!

__________

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT JOB TO YOU ALL!!!

__________

 From “Ending” Comes A New Beginning…

__________

After multiple on-location video/photo shoots over the last 5 months, production of Tasting Grace’s first Music Video featuring their single “No Regrets” has officially come to an end (again…)

__________

During the raw stages of video editing; amazing as it was already, one thing was missing…

More of the beautiful Jenna in your face!

__________

And, where there is a close-up of Jenna – there is a Leigh Ann near-by with brush in hand!

__________

__________

This, our final take, was an exact reproduction of a previous look – but, with one unintended obstacle in our flawless plan … eyelashes.

__________

Lacking our original set of rhinestone lashes, and determined to get the perfect footage, I set my mind on tediously re-creating them myself.

__________

__________

Not only was it a success, but it also served as an inspiration…

Priding ourselves on all areas of eye makeup, and personalization alike; Vanity 101 will now be offering CUSTOM DESIGNED EYELASHES as a new product/specialty service.

__________

__________

AND, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF OUR EXPANSION…!

__________

In fact, Jenna along with the rest of the band, has a number of exciting projects in the works, as well – and we are energized to work in conjunction with them on some complimentary product launches in the very near future.

__________

The bittersweet conclusion to the first video production for Tasting Grace will prove to be far less of an “ending” and much rather an electrifying “beginning” for many brilliant things to come.

__________

Stay tuned to view the completed video in its entirety, as well as upcoming news from us all!

*For additional information on our custom eyelashes – browse our page “The EYES Have It” located under Specialty Services to the right.

The Point’s own Laurie Cataldo recently took some time out of her party-like-a-rockstar schedule for some pampering in our Spa.

__________

While Laurie’s voice may get you through your workday, a live ‘face to fase’ visit from her certainly improved ours!

__________

__________

Whether she is hard at work on the radio, bringing us up-to-the-minute laughs, music and celebrity dirt; or winding down from some always exciting station events; like a true flip-flop-rockin’ Jersey shore girl, Laurie makes sure she is always at her best to do so.

__________

Although Laurie confessed that she did not want to leave after her hour long spa facial, we were sure that her listeners would miss her (and probably be mad at us for keeping her!), so we had no choice but to invite her back…

__________

See you soon, Laurie…and listen to you even sooner!

Catch her on 94.3 The Point weekdays 10am-4pm and on Shore Alternative Sunday nights at 11pm.

Toms River High School East “Walks the Walk” In The World’s Biggest High School Fashion Competition…And We Are Helping Them Get Runway-Ready!

__________

__________

The dedicated, participating students in this national design competition supported by Hurley (as well as Converse and SkullCandy) have spent months upon months of online video challenges, advertising campaigns, social/viral marketing and voting – where clearly, all of their hard work has paid off…

__________

Not only have they won their bracket, but HS East has acquired the MOST VOTES IN THE NATION, and have been invited to the final round of “Walk the Walk” at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California this August!!!

__________

As 1 of 5 finalists, HS East, with an audience of tens-of-thousands and celebrity judges; will be creating their own 5 minute fashion show and compete on the runway for the grand prize of $25,000.

__________

All of the committee members have collectively come up with a vision for their theme, and I am happy to assist them in pulling their look together with makeup.

__________

Being a former Raider, I am SO PROUD of all of their accomplishments and am thrilled to be involved with their exciting final project!

__________

Keep up the great work!!! And I’ll see you girls again soon…!!!

__________

As a self-proclaimed frozen treat connoisseur, I would never pass-up a day completely devoted to ice cream…!

__________

And, as member of the Promotions Committee for the Downtown Toms River Business Improvement District, I was more than happy to be involved in this year’s 8th Annual Ice Cream Festival – located on Washington Street, right at face to fase’s doorstep.

__________

Along with a number of our committee member volunteers, I joined a large group of T.E.A.M. students from all of the Toms River High Schools, in an all-day “scoop fest” in preparation prior to the event on Saturday July 17th.

__________

It was a beautiful and successful day for us in Downtown TR; and I would like to PERSONALLY THANK ALL of our clients and friends who braved the heat to come down to support and visit us at our table.

__________

As always, we appreciate each and every one of you!!!

__________

Girls of all ages love to “play” with makeup - and experimentation may begin as early as their pre-teen years.

__________

I was invited to host a fun makeup instruction class to a naturally beautiful group of young students at the Barbizon School of Modeling and Personal Development.

__________

Blessed with flawless skin, the objective of our class was not to cover their tiny faces up, but rather, to show the limitless, enjoyable side of makeup and to teach each of the young girls to use their imaginations in ALL aspects of their development throughout…

__________

The sky is the limit, girls!
