FOTD: French Toast & Orange Juice

Hello lovelies,


No it's not a food post... hahahahaha but a FOTD with a bold spring color and simple eye makeup. I have been seeing lots of orange lip colors being the center of a makeup look for this season, so I wanted to experiment with what I have in my collection before I actually go invest in some MAC orange/coral lipsticks. So this is what I came up with. This look can be worn to a movie night, a shopping date or even a night out with a mono color outfit. Let's get to it, hope you enjoy.

that NYX eyeshadow is the bizninz as blush

look at that lip color: Amazingly beautiful

didn't add lashes but you can if you choose to recreate

Now let me break it down to you: if you don't have NYX eyeshadow in Africa, you need it especially my chocolate skin ladies. It's amazingly gorgeous on our dark skin tone, just gives that sun-kissed glow.  Nevertheless if you are experimenting with orange lip-colors but don't want to splurge on a brand name lipstick some alternatives to try are the Ebay random lip palettes or Wet n Wild and Milani have a few lip colors in that color range for less than $6.  Not a fan of lipsticks, some recommended cheaper alternatives would be in the NYX brand.

Beauties I would love to get some orange lipcolors recommendation from you, so far I have added to my "to buy list": MAC So Chaud and Morange, any other recommendations?

Be Fabulous & smart !
