FOTD: Ruby Who?

Hey Beauties,

Hope all is well!!....I recently did a purchase from MAC from the Strength and Apres Collection but I have been wanting to get Ruby Woo for the longest and have been hearing positive and negatives about this specific lipstick. Now you don't know until you've tried something how it works in your favor, right. Well this lady here: Ruby Woo is kinda bipolar, I think she is a Gemini like me. I want to like her, because she is a matte texture, opaque, intense, my kinda shade but she doesn't produce in my favor sometimes.

Now when I started using this lipstick I realized it wasn't applying for me, I remembered a Youtuber stated that I had to swipe it on a paper towel couple times before applying and I did that. Applied it and loved the intensity and the shade itself. Nevertheless, after minor drinking, I realized it was fading on my lips and feeling like play dough. Ruby Woo I love you but your texture irks me. In conclusion check out my look, I didn't do anything to my eyes, it was more so about my lips and my face was working on light coverage.

FOTD: Bay Blue Party Look


Hey Beauties,

So I saw this look on IG from Vegas Nay and decided to recreate it in my own way... Shout out to her for this soft makeup pretty look. Nevertheless, she had done this look sometime last year and what were the odds that when I opted to do this look, the same day Sugarpill IG posted stating she used their products to create it. Nevertheless, being that I don't own any Sugarpill cosmetics, I used what I had. Check out below for details on what I used to achieve this look. Check out VegasNay for IG and make sure to follow her, she does awesome makeup looks.
