One of the package that I won during the w@w auction was the trial hair and make up with Val Villarin. I've been reading a lot of good reviews for Val that's why I was really excited for my trial make up. I initally planned to have the trial make up on our pre-nups, but then I realized if I had to wait by Aug or Sept, our wedding date may be blocked already by another couple. I told Tim I was willing to schedule an early trial so that I can already decide if Val is "the one" or I need to find another make up artist.
Since it's hard to get a weekend schedule for trial make up, I had mine on a week day - specifically, the last friday before Tim starts his new job. I really wanted Tim to see my make up so that he can tell me if I look good or not.
We arrived at Val's place 30 minutes late (so sorry) because it was really hard to look for a parking space. Val was very accommodating and immediately went to work on my face. I love the way he made it a "natural - no make up" look for me. I thought it would only be a trial make up that's why I was surprised when he started fixing my hair. As for the hair, I was not really happy with the finish product because I had a different style in mind. I told Val about this and he said it can be done as well. But overall, I was happy with the way I looked and Tim was "happier".
After some picture taking session, Val said we can talk it over first, have lunch and then just let him know if we want to pay the downpayment already to block our wedding date. We agreed, thanked him and went to lunch.
In the end, we decided to pay the downpayment so I went back to Val's place and sign our contract. I told Val I was hesitant to make the dp since he will be participating in the PICC wedding expo and I wanted to wait to see if he'll be offering discounts and freebies there. However, my fear was he'll get booked by another bride who has the same wedding date as ours. Hmmm.. I decided to let go of the discounts and freebies and just book Val already. What I didn't expect is that Val will give me a freebie -- yipee!Ü God is really good. I got a good make up artist, reserved him for our wedding and got an additional freebie on top of it.
Here's my "Val" look:
I like it! I think this look is better. good choice!
