Behind the scenes on our last editorial shoot
Our lovely Lea's work on beautiful bride Nikki and bridesmaid
Bridal season has started again and here are the 1st pics of the season. Our talented Lea Hoare has over 20 years experience which shows when you see pictures of Nikki and her bridesmaid looking utterly gorgeous!
Nikki wanted to look natural with a glowing skin but enhancing her already beautiful features. Lea gave Nikki's hair a soft and effortless looking messy side bun adding twists and braids for a little touch of detail, then a simple silk flower added to finish the style off.
BEAUTIFUL!

A fab quote from Evangeline Lilly, leading lady from Hobbit
I have had the great pleasure for the last year to be personal makeup artist to Evangeline Lilly (The gorgeous lead from TV series Lost and now leading lady on Hobbit), whom I totally admire and adore. Evangeline is an avid user of our Hil Cook Solution buds and sent me these quotes below for our site.
"Any woman who wears eye make-up should always have a Hil Cook solution bud on hand."
"I am way too hard on the delicate skin around my eyes. Finally, there is a convenient product to help me be gentler when my eye make-up bleeds!"
"Hil Cook solution buds are an industry must."
Our Ange Duncan and her beautiful work
For those of you who dont know, this is Ange, my business partner, an incredible hair and makeup artist, a fab team member and also my bestie.
Kate McPherson, Photographer, just sent through these fab pics of one of Ange and Kate's (our other lovely team member below) latest wedding that they did the hair and makeup for so I thought I would share :-)

Voon bridal - calling all Voon brides
Hello Voonsters,
Just a quick note to draw your attention to the latest events on the Voon calendar....
Sophie Voon Bridal Sale
Discounts from 5-30% off wedding dresses and bridesmaid/ evening wear.
Thursday 10th May 7:30pm at St Johns In The City (Cnr Dixon & Willis Street).
- Free entry (but bring cash for koha and auction)
- Real Brides modeling their Sophie Voon bridal wedding dresses
- Live music By Magic Colour
- Stylist Mandy Smale talks about "dressing to suit your personality"
*The plight of the Riley family came to our attention when Kylie bought a wedding dress from us. This was to renew her vows with Brett, her husband of four years who (in January this year) received a diagnosis of cancer of the esophagus. His prognosis is very grim as this is an aggressive cancer. Our dealings with Kylie revealed a wife who was very determined not to remain idle in the search for answers and possible alternative treatment options for Brett. This comes at a cost.
The illness has taken it's toll, not just on Bretts health but also on his immediate family as naturally he had to quit his job & begin a course of chemo. We do care about our customers & my staff have shed more than a few tears during their dealings with Kylie and Brett. We decided on this show as a way of showing our Aroha for them, raising awareness of the trials many families face when cancer makes an appearance & also as a visible means to thank all the brides we have had the pleasure to deal with over the years.
ENTRY IS FREE & we will take a cash collection on the night to pass on to the Rileys in addition to an auction.
You can help us SPREAD THE WORD for this show by...
