It is my sincere hope that you all found this class to be informative and beneficial.  I am not certain if I will do another class like this in the future. However, if you all are interested, please let me know in the comments below. 

THANK YOU!

Thanks so much to our lovely Model Erika!  Erika, you have been a supporter of me and my craft for always.  I know that your time is valuable, and I thank you for spending your time with me today. You're the best! Let's give it up for Erika!!

Again, I want to give a HUGE thank you to all of you who supported me, and cared enough to spend your hard earned money on this class. Make-Up is not my hobby, this is my career and passion.  Your support of my artistry means more than I can express. Every "Like" every "Share" and every "Re-Post" really helped make this class today a success!  Thanks a million!

Thank you to the audio visual technicians from OVED Technologies for making sure that our live stream happened today!  I could NOT have done this without them.  If you live in the DC, Maryland or Northern Virginia area, don't hesitate to call the specialists at OVED Technologies for all your in home, and office audio visual needs. http://ovedtechnologies.com/

Thanks are in order for our online host www.stageit.com . Stageit's standard show time is only 30 minutes with an option for a 20 minute extension, bringing the maximum class time to a total of 50 minutes.  I did not think that would be enough time for an in depth make-up lesson. So, I reached out to Stageit, and they extended our class time today to 90 minutes, with the option of a 20 minute extension!  They didn't have to, but they did...and indeed I am grateful. Thank You!

And last, but by no means the least, I would be remiss not to thank our sponsor BENEFIT SAN FRANCISCO!!! Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.  I am a FAN of Benefit, and I am grateful that you all have given me an opportunity to share my favorite products with the viewing audience!  Today would not have been the success it was without the generous and kindhearted nature of the team at Benefit. I think I speak for all class participants when I say...you all ROCK...and we will forever be your Bene-Gals!

Our Generous Gift Bag Valued at over $150 from Benefit San Francisco

The winner of this lovely gift bag will be announced live on air at the end of the class. Best of luck to all!

With Thanks and Gratitude,

Marshana Dahlia Ritchie

Been Around The World, and I, I, I.....

Greetings,

As I mentioned in my last post, I had been on the move since I posted on my blog last.  I was blessed with the opportunity to gp back to Europe, and what a time that was!

My adventure started in Madrid, Spain. I didn't get to take many photos in Madrid as it was only a pit stop on my way to Paris?

Musee de Louvre, Paris France

This was my first time in Paris.  The impression I had of Paris, was NOT what I got when I arrived.   I had this idea of glamour,  fashion, strolling the Champs Elysees, and parading around Saint Germain.  Well what I got what the real Paris,  real France,  real French People....and it wasn't that glamorous. 

On The Champ de Mars with The Eiffel Tower

Don't get me wrong,  Paris. Is. Beautiful.  It's a must see. Stunning.  Alluring. Enchanting.  As they say, Paris is always a good idea.  I met great friends in Paris,  became as close to a Parisian as I would ever get. Our fave hangout, Le Comptoire Generale became like our Cheers, everyone knew our names. 

Paris was good, but I was anxious to get out and explore Europe,  because,  why not?  My first stop,  Venice, Italy.

Giudecca Canal, Venice, Italy

Venice was a sight to behold. Breathtaking.  Hard to believe it was real.  We didn't stay in Venice, we stayed in Mestre. Staying inMestre saved us money, we paid about a third of what it would cost to stay in Venice.  We were just ONE stop away from Santa Lucia train station in Venice. And we were able to get a taxi from the airport right to our hotel.  Something not possible in Venice as there are no cars allowed!

We took the train in to Venice daily.  We cruised the canals, crossed over the rios,  walked to Piazza San Marco....we even got lost on the streets. It was so worth it!  Venice was HOT.  Too hot! A word to the wise, never wear jeans in Venice....at least not in the summer! 

Sweating in out in Venice, Italy above Giudecca Canal

Today marks the one year anniversary of my return to the States from the best vacation ever! Where does time go? I will take you further down memory lane in my next blog post.   I can't wait to tell you all about Croatia, Amsterdam,  Turkey and more!

To Be Continued....

Marshana's Ultimate Beauty Experience

Greetings,

I know, I know, I haven't posted in forvever...over a year to be precise. BUT, I. Am. Back! And will be blogging LOTS more now. Oh, and not just on cosmetics and make-up, but on fashion, travel,  lifestyle and more....this is about to be so much fun!


I've been around the world since I last blogged, Spain, France, Greece, England,  Turkey, Croatia, The Netherlands,  Belgium and Italy...I will definitely update you all on that soon, but that's another blog post, LOL

Tour Eiffel; Paris, France

But back to business, (For now)....

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me to do a make-up class, I'd be several thousand dollars wealthier. I've wanted to do a class for my "Ritch Beauties" for some time now. However,  with my global travel to satiate my inherent wanderlust, splitting myself between Brooklyn (Forever my home), and my entire family (Forever my heart) in VA.....I have not been in one place long enough to make it happen 😢

So how does one satify the demand of their friends and family, and reach everyone....the world wide web!!!

Introducing Marshana's Ultimate Beauty Experience

I am proud to announce my first ever Make-Up Class/Seminar; Marshana's Ultimate Beauty Experience!  Brought to via the World Wide Web, my Seminar will be brought to you online.  The class will be broadcast LIVE, within the comfort of your own home.

SO, leave the car at home. Make your cup of coffee/tea.  Turn on the TV to entertain the kids. Tell your partner to sleep in. Get to your comp and log on!  

Get The Brow Secret!

This class is ultimately for you, by popular demand. You ask, and I deliver....eventually 😁😁.  You all have been with me from GO. Some of you have known me most of my life!  You all have rallied around me, my eccentricities,  my bold personality,  supported me, loved me, accepted me and encouraged my art,  make-up.

My endeavor was to bring you this class for as close to free as it will EVER get!  Working in this virtual space,  and partnering with Stageit, allows me to share my knowledge with you,  for...get this, ONLY $10!!!!  

Live, in studio, group make-up instruction with me costs $299.  One on one instruction costs $895 for three hours.  Needless to say, this seminar is a deal! This may very well be the ONLY affordable make-up instruction I will EVER do!

Make-Up Artistry is my livelihood, not a hobby. It's my bread, and butter.  I break this bread with you as a token of my appreciation for the decades of endless love and support.  

My hope is that you all will join me on:
