EOTD's

Hello Lovelies,

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas as much as I did, I spent the day with family. I love my family always full of laughter and fun. We watched the HEAT vs LAKERS game and of course I was cheering on HEAT & my sis-in-law the other team because of her love for you know who (his name will not be mentioned... lol). In the end I had a great laugh because the other family members witness our craziness when watching the games. Anyways enough about my Christmas. I hope your Holidays were what you expected and more. I hope you all got what you wished for.

I have been lacking on my post because my memory card has been acting up. It keeps giving error on pictures which I took of makeup looks after I delete pictures I don't need. So I had to format the card. I transferred what was left after doing these looks and for each only one pictures from the 20+ for each look was saved on the card. [sad face]

Look 1

Look 2

I really don't remember the products used in these EOTD's but if you interested in any particular look I will do my best to recreate it for you.

BTW for 2011 I will be doing videos. Stay tune loves.


Be Fabulous & Enjoy your NYE

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hey Lovelies,
Merry Christmas to all my fellow bloggers/followers. Enjoy your day & I hope you all received the gifts y'all wished for.
Congrats to Miami HEAT team for a great game with LA Lakers.

Love

FOTD: Heated Fantasy

Hello lovelies,

I hope you enjoy this FOTD, it's pretty much not your everyday look but great for a night out or dinner night, I wore on the job and everyone loved it, I love stepping out of my usually Neo-soul look so this was what came to mind.  I took out my Wet N Wild new ColorIcon Holiday palette in Night Elf. I pretty much got all the Wet N Wild (WnW) Holiday palettes now and was super excited about this one because of the red color. If you haven't gotten your hands on these yet,  get them now as they are limited edition and it has been the beauty rave on Twitter as everyone is loving the colors and pigmentation which is surprisingly similar and even better than MAC for a lot less in price.
