Notice something different this Monday morning on SMP?

TADA!!!

I am so pleased to announce the launching of our brand new Studio Marie-Pierre website! Our new website has been quite a project, but we could never have done it without the fantastic support of our beautiful bridal clients, our local Key West wedding photographers and wedding planners, Key West resorts and the incredible designer and code guru who have contributed to our website’s development and creation.

Our new website features the gorgeous faces of so many of our Key West brides who have honored us with their presence on their wedding day. I am grateful for the opportunity to create perfect bridal hair and makeup on your special day. I am also so pleased to have been provided with lovely photos to showcase our work and your special day by the wonderful photographers whose work graces our brand new photo galleries. I’d like to give a special “Thank You” as well to the local Key West resorts and wedding planners who have worked so closely with the Studio Marie-Pierre team to make each beautiful bride’s day a great success.
Making a gorgeous Key West destination wedding is truly a group effort, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

We invite you all to scroll through our new website and visit our photo galleries to appreciate all of the incredible work that went into our website’s making. I am proud to showcase our work for you, hoping it expresses in some way how thankful I am to you for all for the success of our business!

I also have to say thank you to my fabulous team of stylists who do such beautiful work here at Studio Marie-Pierre. Don’t forget to to visit the Team page where you’ll to meet all the stylists behind SMP. I couldn’t achieve this dream without them all!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts here at Studio Marie-Pierre, for your continued trust in our services, and for giving us the opportunity to do what we love every day as we serve the bridal community of Key West.

This amazing Key West Wedding Video from Cinea Verde holds one of my favorite shot, where Laura and Jason are standing in front of the Banyan tree. Only fitting coming from a Key West wedding.  Simple, yet absolutely stunning, all the details won my heart in a second. What a prefect way to start a Tuesday!

Gorgeous images once again by Transier Photgraphy! Rebecca’s wedding took place at the Casa Marina resort in Key West. What a beautiful beach wedding!

This is the gorgeous Kristen who got married last week at the Casa Marina Resort in Key West with Swankey Events as her wedding planner.

I immediately loved Kristen’s sweet and witty personality and incredible features! I could hardly wait to get all set up and start her hair and makeup. Kristen mentioned her love of makeup and said: “Kardashian me”.

Thank you Kristen for letting me be a part of your day and huge congrats! X

Congrats to STEPHANIE the winner of the Birchbox giveaway. Please contact me within 48hrs to claim your prize!

HAPPY MONDAY my lovelies, let’s start the week with a Birchbox giveaway!!!

Spring has sprung, and there’s no better time to fine-tune our lifestyles. That’s why we teamed up with Women’s Health to put together this month’s Birchbox. You’ll find editor-approved products that will help you get your beauty routine in shape for the season. We’ve also got plenty of inspiration for how you can improve your overall outlook—it’s all about tiny tweaks, big results. Start by reading an interview with an inspiring natural foods company CEO (you’re going to love her philosophy on indulgence) and taking a peek into the gym bags of three fitness-loving Birchbox staffers. Improve your morning cuppa with our video on brewing the perfect cup of tea (it turns out we were doing it wrong the whole time!) and find out what beauty products are a must for your next outdoor excursion. Happy playing!

In the box

Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir

Think your hair doesn’t grow fast enough? The real problem could be breakage, which is caused by heat styling, overbrushing, and even aging. Give your strands back their youthful luster with this silky serum. It strengthens from the inside out, resulting in healthier, younger looking hair in just one week.

Skinco Cleansing Body Gel With Olive Sicilian Orange Extract

Our shower had very little in common with sunny Sicily until we tried these delightful body washes. Lightly scented with zesty ingredients sourced from Italy, Skin&Co Roma’s gels work into a rich lather that purifies skin with moisturizing olive oil and plant extracts aplenty.

Strivectin Eye Concentrate

When it comes to aging gracefully, it’s all about the eyes. This clinically-proven, award-winning concentrate provides a proverbial hat trick of benefits: it reduces the appearance of wrinkles, diminishes dark under-eye circles, and keeps puffiness in check.

Weleda Bodylotion Wildrose

We’ve heard the buzz about natural products, but most lack the lush scents and silky textures we crave. Not so with this Swiss brand’s new collection of nourishing body lotions. Made with all-natural fruit extracts, the lightweight formula is loaded with rejuvenating ingredients that boost elasticity and protect skin against environmental aggressors.

Youngblood Antishine Mattifier

When it comes to shine, there’s a thin line between a dewy, radiant complexion and looking like you moonlight as an auto-mechanic. To stay on this side of an oil spill, we rely on Youngblood’s Anti-Shine Mattifier. The balm-like formula keeps oil in check all day long while upping your makeup’s staying power. The translucent hue seamlessly blends in with all skin tones and leaves behind a satiny finish

 Chanel, In Love Joues Contraste Blush $49.00 is the perfect summer blush. Gorgeous pinky coral with a hint of gold shimmer.  It imparts the most delicate flush on the face that really does wonder for anyone’s complexion.

Texture

In Love is buildable. With several swipes it can be as vibrant and bold as it looks in the pan, or be applied more sheerly for a softer color. The shimmer is simply exquisite nor too chunky nor frosty it gives the illusion of very fresh, healthy, glowing cheeks. It reminds me a little of Nars orgasm, but tone down.

I should mention that I do have very oily skin and find shimmery blushes overall to only accentuate my pores and shine. This one contains just the right amount of shimmer.

Packaging

As always Chanel packaging is so chic. The little compact is extremely well crafted and sturdy which I totally apprecaste with my makeup kit constantly on the go. Can’t say anything about the brush that comes with it, as I only use my own makeup brushes. But I’m pretty sure you better off using something else. Generally speaking these type of brushes are limited.

If this shade doesn’t suit you I’m pretty sure you’ll bound to find the right one on their webiste.  Chanel Joue contraste comes in 11 shades total all part of their poermanent collection.

I’m pretty sure it’s a known fact that Key West is one of the most romantic and fun spot in the world. From the  gorgeous sunsets to the fun filled bars on Duval street, it’s no wonder so many couples choose to say “I do” and honeymoon on our precious little island. And with so many incredible vendors, your dream wedding is right at your finger tip.  Don’t believe me… Check out Raquel and Blake’s stunning images by Blueyeimages. We love!
