FOTD: Ready, Set, Mossy Green

Hello Beauties,

It's that time again; Makeup Mondays. Wow!!! Do the weeks go by so fast. I hope those on the east coast are weathering the storms in a safe way. However, here is a look for today.
I was in the dollar store and saw this Profusion palette and since it's a buck, I thought why not give it a try. So I used it in this look and I am amazed at the intensity and the outcome of it. I don't discriminate brands, I am always willing to give the inexpensive makeup stuff a try regardless. So here is my look using it along with Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette.

THINK PINK: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey Beauties,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In any way we can as individuals we should support Breast Cancer Awareness. I lost my dad to cancer (not breast cancer), and I pray and hope that there will be a cure soon for this. Being the makeup junkie I am, I had to spread my awareness in my own beauty way.
I did this makeup look as I was inspired from Nicki's new video: Them Boys as well... Think Pink beauties and remember to keep the HOPE 






Kudos to Nicki for pink hurrr, nails & makeup!!

FOTD: Visionary Valiant

Hey beauties,

It's Friday... T.G.I.F. .... yessssss!!! OMG at the months/ weeks going by so fast. We have two months till Christmas. Are you excited or not?
Now I have decided to start shopping my stash and limit my makeup purchases. I have been tempted to get that UD Vice palette, BH cosmetics Party Girl & their Day & Night palette but I own so much eyeshadows that are similar and I don't even use most of the ones I own so I opted out of my purchases.
I also own a couple pigments too. Pigments are loose eyeshadows and boy oh boy have I been sleeping on my L'Oreal HIP pigments.

So here is another look for you beauties, very sultry simple date night look. Btw I have done two lip colors combo so you can have variety if you choose to recreate the look. If any of the lip colors don't suit your taste you can always go with your choice.

excuse that lil heffa choosing to pop up today in the middle of my forehead
