Make-Up Store: Never Ordinary & Always Fresh!

To my make-up lovers: if you haven't heard about The Make-Up Store in Miami, here is the inside scoop! It is not only a place where you can purchase your everyday make-up necessities, but the store also houses the only European Certified Make-Up School in the United States. As a means to acquaint potential make-up artists with their craft, the school hosts a series of make-up seminars and workshops throughout the year. This week, the school is offering a workshop on Friday, April 9th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it focuses on "Fresh & Natural Make-up." The cost to attend is $300. To enroll in the seminar, call 305-987-2680 or visit http://www.musmiami.com/. Once you enroll, mention Miami Beats and Sazon to receive a complimentary make-up bag (valued at $50). The school is located inside The Shops at Sunset Place (5701 Sunset Drive; Lower Level #158) in South Miami. I hope to inspire those who have a passion for the art of beauty and transformation!

Ever consider being a Beauty Queen?

Do you think you have what it takes to become the next Miss Florida USA 2011? The first step towards the state title begins by registering for a preliminary pageant near you. If you win on the local level, then you're off to Hollywood, Florida where you will compete for the crown of Miss Florida USA or Miss Florida Teen USA! The first preliminary pageants of the year, Miss Coral Gables USA & Teen USA, are actually taking place on February 6th at The New Theater in Coral Gables (Contestants do not need to live in the City of Coral Gables to compete). Attend a free Pageant Seminar this upcoming Saturday, January 16th, to meet pageant experts along with Miss Florida USA herself, Megan Clementi, and Miss Florida Teen USA, Alyssa Rivera.
