FOTD: Honey Holidays

Hello lovelies,

It's been awhile since I have blogged, I apologize for the delay. It's near the Christmas holidays and I just want to Thank you all for the support and love on my blog. It has been positive on my blog so far and I love you all for keeping it that way. There has been several things going on, first off did you get anything from the Rihanna for MAC Holiday Collection?
If so what did you beauties get, I only got the lipsticks: Pleasure Bomb and BadGal Riri. I love BadGalRiri, wish I did get two of it, nevertheless, you will see me do a look with both lipsticks soon. Also did anyone get the Urban Decay Vice 2  or Naked 3 palette? I wanted to get the Vice 2 but withdrew myself from getting it even after getting a $15 gift card from Sephora.

Today I will grace you all with a holiday makeup look, this look is very sexy night time look for a Christmas night party. Check out this simple look and if replicated definitely tag me on Instagram @Kimmydadiva or Facebook: DaDivaBeauty

FOTD: My Love for MAC RiRiWoo


Hello Lovelies,


I have a addiction to MAC RiRiWoo lipstck, I love to pair it with Milani lipliner in True Red and be on my merry way out the door with my new fave foundation Covergirl 3n1 Queen foundation. MAC RiRiWoo is from Rihanna's Heart MAC collection and it is a retro matte lipstick that will suit any skin tone. It is very similar to MAC Ruby Woo but the difference in my opinion is the texture on my lips, Ruby Woo is very rubbery and RiRiWoo has more of a smooth application to it. I love this lipstick that I will be making sure I have enough back-ups to last a decade.
Thanks Rihanna for making a true red lipstick I adore. Here's a look with me wearing the lipstick:

Hello Lovelies,

It's been a while since my last post, I haven't been feeling the likes of prepping myself for painting my face. I have just been doing sometimes my normal look which is foundation and my favorite lipstick: RiriWoo by Mac. Now I felt really sad that I haven't shared a look on my blog and decided to pull all my face paint (makeup). I decided to go for a dramatic look using random palettes which I have found from some lovely artistic Instagram makeup artist.

FOTD: By Starlight

Hello Lovelies,

I hope all is well.... If you are on Instagram and follow Rih Rih aka Rihanna she has a new Makeup Artist who goes on tour with her and does the most awesome makeup looks on her. Her name is Lora aka @loreleicakes on IG. Lora has a cosmetics line named MeltCosmetics and boy oh boy she offers the most beautiful colors of matte lipsticks ever. She also uses her products on Rihanna which definitely urged me to at least purchase an item. I have been eyeing the purple lipstick because I absolutely love to see purple lip colors on us woman of color and even though her lipsticks are pricey it is definitely worth it. Here goes my look using her lipstick. Check out MeltCosmetics.com for more colors even though most are sold out within days they are re-launced.
