Meet your new resident airbrush specialists!

Hello, we are Natalia and Marissa.  We started our company last October and recently really started pursuing the business aspect of our company in probably mid January.  As a company we have already done 6 weddings, have at least 4 weddings in the mix, proms, special occasions, multiple wedding shows, 4 tanning parties, and now we are adding resident airbrush specialist to our ever-growing resume!  We are so excited to now be the in house specialists at Coco Beach in Simi Valley.  We have our own room, which will be decorated super cute, and the best part of all is that we can now offer packages!  We have always known that 'double dipping' as they call it, is the best, most effective way to get the smoothest, longest lasting tan.  Double dipping is when you go in the bed for 5 minutes or so and then get the airbrush applied.  Now we can not only recommend this, but we can recommend a place to do it! 
We are highly motivated people.  In the short time we have been doing business we have accomplished so much and feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg!  So we have been looking for a salon to partner with that we know will be able to do their side as far as marketing and advertising our services for us.  We met with the owners of Coco Beach yesterday and were very pleased.  We think this is going to be a really great alliance and cannot wait to get started.  So if you are local, in the Simi Valley area, please stop by Coco Beach Salon in it's new location 1720 Los Angeles Ave #I Simi Valley, CA 93065 or you can call and make an appointment at (805) 520-7800.  If you do, make sure you mention the Bliss Blog and we will be able to offer you a promotion!  Please spread the news as well!  Make sure all your family and friends know that they now can have our wonderful tanning as well as a little time in the beds.  Thank you faithful followers, we are so excited for the direction our business is going in and know that we have so much more potential.  Please leave a comment of encouragement or motivation, we always love to hear from you!

This could be you!

If you can't tone it, TAN IT!

Last year about this time I tried airbrush tanning for the very first time.  I was a Matron of Honor in a wedding where I had to wear a pale yellow dress and I was not prepared.  I have pretty fair skin that can tan, it just takes a while, but I knew I had to do something.  So I went a few times in the tanning beds, which I honestly don't like to do too much because I don't want to look super old before my time, and then got the airbrush.  It was fabulous!  I don't know why I don't do it every week!  It was custom, no streaks, it didn't turn orange and I looked great for the bachelorette party and the wedding day.  Now Bliss also has an airbrush tanning machine and it is great.  Every time I get my tan I forget why I take so long to get it done!  Here are a few reasons I think you all should try airbrush tanning:

1.) Instant results!  The active ingredient in airbrush tanning products is DHA and it is clear.  So when tanning we add a 'guide color' as we call it.  It is for us to see where we have tanned and for the client to see instant results.  This guide color washes off I little bit in your first shower after the tan, but by that point the DHA has attached to your skin and you have the nice even look you were going for. 

2.) No Sun Poisoning! Obviously we all know now, the more time you spend out in the sun unprotected the more likely you will have more trouble with your skin later in life.  Things like age spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer may creep your way.  With airbrush tanning, you don't have to spend a second in the sun and you can look like you just got back from Costa Rica!  Don't get me wrong, I think there can be a healthy dose of vitamin D for your skin, but laying in the sun for hours is definitely out.

3.) Smooth, Natural Looking Tan ~ When you have an airbrush tan there is a technician who applies the tan custom to your body.  This person should be practiced and trained and you will have great results.  There is another form of spray tanning called Mystic Tan where you stand in the both and it sprays you front and back.  This is okay, but since it isn't a person doing it, obviously it leaves a lot of room for error.  How do you get the sides or under your neck.  There are also a lot of self tanner lotions out there on the market.  Some are okay and some are good tan extenders (beware of them turning you orange).  But with applying these you can miss a spot or have hard to reach spots like the middle of your back.  And that might look a little funny, like a finger painting on your back! 

Overall, spray tanning is an awesome way to get out of the sun and still feel fabulous!  I might be a little biased, I mean I am hooked on it!  I feel like I drop ten pounds every time I do it.  Check out a salon near you and try it, comment and let me know if it works for you.

Tanning for The Tarr Pitt

Good Morning everyone!!

Alysha Tarr is a mommy and wife who had made a little business of her life. (that rhymed!)  You can check out her blog, www.thetarrpit.com for recipes, cute stories, and inspiration.  I enjoy reading it and am a faithful follower!  This morning Bliss Makeup Artistry is going to give Alysha a tan for her Vegas trip she is taking this weekend.  She is then going to write a review about it and a blog post.  Stay tuned for what she says, even though I am completely confident that she will LOVE it.  We have yet to have a client who hasn't.  There is nothing like the instant gratification of being beautifully bronzed.  I once had a client say "If you can't tone it, tan it!"  This is so true.  Tan fat looks better than white fat... hehe.  Stay tuned on our blog and hers for more updates!
