Today FOTD is how I would wear my red eyeshadow. I don't do red eyeshadow eye looks, I am not a fan of reds unless it's a lipstick or blush but in this case I actually need to use it more because I am definitely loving this look.

Here are the pictures of today's look

FOTD: Love The Way U Lie Inspired

Hello Lovelies,

Thanks for stopping by. As from my title I know you all may have an idea of what look if the Face of the Day. hint hint **
If you have recently seen the new Eminem ft. Rihanna video for the single Love the Way You Lie. At first I hated the song because I thought for sure she was bringing back the whole CB drama with this single, but this song actually is very catchy and is growing on me. I love Eminem as a rapper, he can drop some tunes. So let's move on because talking about music is a whole other subject especially from a music lover as myself.

I loved the way Rihanna makeup was a simple smokey eye, nothing over-dramatic but yet it is wearable.
Here are pictures of my recreation

EOTD: Limeade U Say

Hello lovelies,

It's humid season so I decided why not do a green look which represents lime colors. I tend to stay away from greens as I think it a color that doesn't suit me. I did this look and kinda think I failed, I hated the lashes I used after I applied them and of course I am not the best in applying lashes to myself to the decent extent as with my skills in applying to someone else.




So here goes my pictures:
*Don't mind the lash root showing. Sorry for my fail in this.

FOTD:Golden Yellow Eyes

Hello lovelies,

I hope all is well with everyone and I sure hope everyone had a nice weekend. It has been a while since I blogged, it sure due to the humid weather and being tired from the extreme heat too. I did this look a while back so it will be my Face of the Day for today.

Here are pictures:










Products Used:
FACE

-Maybelline Age Rewind f/d: Cocoa

**Do you see the condition of my hair (mess, mess), I am getting to start to hate the fact that I permed it and looking towards going natural. I don't know what to do with it because I so easily change my mind. I am gonna have my hairstylist perm it this week and have it in a bob cut without adding any additional hair extensions to it. If I can maintain it for a couple weeks with the short cut then I'll possible change my mind about the natural process. Until then we'll see because with this humidity and my long hair or wigs, it's a major no no. Sorry for my hair rant (smiles)!

Be fabulous lovelies!
