FOTD

Hello,

For this look I did a smokey blue and shimmer black eye with copper lips. Guess what I used on my eyes??




FACE:
Maybelline Dream Mousse f/d Tan 3
Covergirl powder: Rich Ebony 2
NYC Bronzer Sun 2 Sun: Terracotta
Black Radiance blush: Ruby Treasure (that deep red blush that can be dupe to high end blushes**)


EYES:
NYX Concealer
HIP crayon Intricate (blue color)
LA colors quad: Supernatural & Traditional ($1 @ Dollar stores)
NYC liquid liner
CG mascara

LIPS:
Maybelline Sensational l/s: Copper Charm 305 (love it)

Don't sleep on LA colors, they can do the look, with great base, such as Loreal HIP paint or crayons or UDPP or TFSI, you definitely have a banging look.



**This blush is super pigmented and can be dupe with NARS and MAC bright red blush (dnt remember the names). Will do a haul of the month video soon.



Be fabulous!!

Random FOTD & EOTD

Hello lovelies,

I hope everyone is doing great, I know you are all thinking where has she been, but for others, you've noticed that I comment on your blog post (s). Anyways, life has been busy the past couple weeks, My daughter and niece Christening was on Sunday. I have so much to start doing but I am just don't know where to begin. I'm such a big procrastinator. I can't even begin to explain all the stuff that are taking place in my life and they are all great things. So onto these random FOTD & EOTD

I did this FOTD when I was going shopping for my daughter's christening dress, wow, it's was the most tedious shopping experience, I can't believe that all these high end department stores didn't have any christening items for kids, it took me 3 days to find her shoes and stockings and the dress, I wouldn't even get started on that [babbling again].
My FOTD





Products used:
FACE
Loreal HIP f/d mixed: Earthen & Cappuccino
MAC Studio powder
Loreal HIP Tickled Cream blush (new item I purchased)
NYC loose powder

EYES:
udpp
nyx jumbo pencil: hot Pink
120 palette
HIP duos (can't remember the names)

LIPS
Loreal HIP liquid lipstick




************************

For the EOTD


I received some piggies as prize for my hunt on Aromaleigh's Butterfly hunt. I decided to do look with all the 3 pigments I received. Thank you Miss K. I really miss doing the hunt every night, it was so much fun.
There you have it, more post to come!

Be Fabulous!!

VMA's 2009

Hello yall,

I am been away for a while but family comes first.

Ok so VMA's came ...hmmmm...Am I the only one who think what Kanye said was real, I don't hate Taylor Swift but I totally believe Beyonce earned that Female Video of the Year award. Taylor Swift is a charming and talented girl and Kanye should have not done what he did on her shine. I thought he could have said what he wanted to say when the corny host was on. Taylor I know your hurt dear but the this industry bias. On the other hand MTV should have not let her perform after that shock, I felt it for her.

Blame it on the al-cooohhhholll, alcohol!!!


Next wasn't the awards a tribute to MJ (Micheal Jackson), so was it more; corny jokes, insults and major depressing fashion show.

Now I know why I am not enthusiastic when VMA's is coming on.


Beyonce did a very sweet thing but this chick so wise, side note** (I know she getting paper for that). Gotta love Beyonce [Queen-B], she definitely represented what her song said: Diva is the female version of a hustler.

Lady Gaga...I have no words for you!


Pink: Love your outfit girl (twin power with you and Shakira) and glad to see you back with hubby, aint nothing like break up to make up...lol!!
twin power




Kanye almost apologized...lol...this dude represent what he really sings : "I got a big EGO"...I love you Kanye always, your genuine in the game.

I know most people will not agree with me but everyone is so hating on Kanye and stating that they will never buy or listen to his music, I think even a F' Kanye petition is started. Lets come back to reality, why when the Senator called President Obama a liar, aint no one chirping about that now...hmmmmmm...the society we live in now.

If there was any great performances on that show it was Janet Jackson, Pink's and Jay-z w/Alicia Keyes.
On that note, where the heck did Lil Mama come from, I know she reps NY but Jay was looking at her like 'wannabe' you aint gonna take me and AK shine tonite.

VMA's please start giving us a show to always look forward to and we can talk on it the next day...oh my bad.... you did!

Needless to say, I went on the website MTV.com to see who were the other winners in the other categories. MTV seems very phony that you give Beyonce's video: Best Editing, Best Choreography, Best Video of the Year, yet she doesn't get Female Video of the Year....hehehe...I'm lost yall!

Shout out to T.I. for getting an award...you know we love TIP!

Overall I'll continue to watch BET Awards tribute to MJ...reruns is always on!!

Sweet note: Stop killing Amber Rose for her outfit, she is a bad bitch and that's what a bad chick does [be different]! Btw... this season trend is animal print (cheetah & zebra stripes), so Amber did hers different: snake skin...I love her confidence!




Be fabulous yall!

Note: I have some FOTD's and EOTD' coming soon and more stuffies!

I have been collecting blushes lately and have found a desire in it just like having a desire in different brands of eyeshadows colors. Here is a look at my blush collection, it's not much but I can work with it for now. There aren't no high-end brand (well maybe one which is a MAC blush) but, mostly they are dupes for some high-end and I love them because they are super pigmented and very affordable.

BeautyMadeAffordable 42 double stack palette swatches



My Favorite blushes

My favorite blushes from my collection are the Color Workshop blushes and my La Femme blushes. Both have terrific pigmentation and are very smooth and finely milled. I love there texture and how they make my cheeks pop being a WOC. I love my MAC blush but I don't use it as often as my 'favorites'. Don't sleep on these blushes especially La Femme, which can be purchased at Makeupmania.com

If ever you decide to buy La femme blushes note that the pans can be stored in the Ben Nye e/s palette or the Japonesque 12 well palette. If you purchase from Makeupmania.com you can use me as referral, email:rayqueenbee@yahoo.com

If you see anything you like and have questions, feel free to ask via comment or email below!

Be fabulous!
