LOTD

Hey Lovely Peeps,

So I have been away, I have been procrastinating on doing makeup this week, I was more likely trying different lips colors. Obviously its spring and soon to be summer (yay!!), so the lips need to be poppin and on. The trends for the season is bright pinks, deep purple and light pinks. So this is a LOTD. I wasn't too liking the outcome but I'll definitely have another look up soon. Btw please neglect my bad hair day, yup I have been lazy with my hair, I feel like just cutting it in a bob cut to rock this summer, its so hard to style and I just hate how dull it is nowadays, its like everyday its in ponytail :(
So check out this Gold, Purple and Blue look===>

Carmen Wig By Model Model Glance with some riddim of H.I.P.

Hello Lovelies,

So I had purchase this wig from www.hairsisters.com recently and it finally came, Wooohooo!!
I love mail and newbies...lol...I have been waiting for a week and few days now for it. All I can say is I love it (x3). I love the texture, the look, the feel and just love my color choice. I hate grooming my hair or even styling it for that matter, my hair texture is thin and my hair is in a world by itself and not cooperating with me. I recently cut the front by myself to create bangs and I got use to it for the time being but I hate sometimes having to putting it in a ponytail, I needed a change.
I've known myself since my hair has somewhat of lengths to be putting it in a ponytail, that's why I always cut in a shoulder length bob and rock it, but the verdict in cutting my hair is not approved (well solely not by me).

So here is how Glance Model Model - Carmen wig looks




The model rocks it well but I'm gonna rock it better (being conceited).



Here is a video with pictures of me rocking the wig.






Here is a list of what I used for my makeup look:

FACE:
Revlon Colorstay F/d: Mahogany
MAC concealer: NW45
MAC MSF Natural : Deep dark
Maybelline blush: Fresh Plum
MAC MSF Gold Deposit (highlight)

EYES:
UDPP
Loreal H.I.P. e/s: Gunmetal (lighter color:inner 1/3 of the lid, bottom lid; darker color: & outer crease & crease, bottom lid)
Loreal H.I.P. e/s: Riotous (lighter color:middle of the lid)
Sally's girl : Expresso (highlight)
Rimmel black eyeliner(waterline)
H.I.P. cream eyeliner: Teal (line the lid)
Rimmel Glam eyes mascara

LIPS:
Victoria Secret lipgloss: Sublime



Well lovely people if you wanna try this wig, check out www.hairsisters.com
They always have sale on their wigs and Carmen is definitely a buy.


Smooches & Be fabulous!

LOTD

Hello lovelies,

I have decided to do a neutral look with a hint of color for the day, I don't like neutral looks, but I most definitely do now after trying this look. I mostly wear colored eye makeup and it was my first neutral look. So here goes some pictures and a list of the items used. Hope you likey!! yea likey!!!...lol

Guess what I used too...can you believe my makeup is not even high end products or even drugstore, it's Dollar store makeup... yep the infamous LA colors!












ITEMS USED:

FACE:
Loreal True Match F/d: C7 Nut brown {definitely not liking this f/d & it doesn't match :( }
Loreal True Match concealer: c6-7-8
Color workshop blush: deep russet color
Wet N wild bronzer (highlight): Bali

EYES:
UDPP/Loreal Decrease (I was testing the duration of this makeup line with two different base on each eye: R eye= Loreal Decrease; L eye=UDPP)
NYX Jumbo pencil MILK (on the lid)
LA Colors 12 e/s palette :Supernatural: 1st color:white (lid)
LA Colors 12 e/s palette: Traditional: 8th color: shimmer brown (outer crease & crease)
LA Colors 12 e/s palette: Traditional: 4th color: shimmer bronze (highlight)
Jordana Blackjack e/s (outer crease)
120 Palette matte lime green color (inner tear duct)
Rimmel eyeliner(waterline)
Starry liquid liner(line lid)
Maybelline XXL mascara: Black

LIPS:
HIP Lipstruck color: Harmless



Now here is the verdict of which base works best with these eyshadows by far, its UDPP (urban decay primer potion). The Loreal decrease primer tends to crease on me when I apply NYX milk jumbo pencil on top. UDPP doesn't do that that effect when I apply NYX jumbo pencil Milk. Nonetheless, the UDPP didn't crease and I wore the makeup for a long 7 hrs.


If you just starting into makeup check out the LA Colors brandm you will be amazed at the quality you get for a buck. There are great bargain makeup lines out there you just have to research and find them, I am about saving and bargain especially in this economic time & me being unemployed....so every dollar I can save counts. Being that I love makeup, well $1 eyeshadow with 12 colors works for me... (smiles***).


Go check out your local Dollar General or Dollar Tree or Family Dollar for some LA Colors eyeshadow.




Smooches!

LUSH HAUL



Hey bloggers,

So I went to Lush today, wow....Ammmmazzzing!!
I am in love with their soap, I swore I wanted to eat some of them from their smell...lol...

I bought some stuff. I purchased the Porridge soap, Honey I Washed the Kids soap & Extra Virgin Olive oil soap. I always received a free sample Ocean salt cleanser.

I bought small pieces as I wanted to try these as they are the new rave on Youtube. I got the Porridge & Honey I Washed the Kids for myself and got the Extra virgin oil for my mom. I gave her the sample I got.
I will definitely give these a try and let yall know in the future about what I think of them. Then maybe I will purchase bigger pieces.


Porridge Soap




Extra Virgin Olive Oil Soap






Honey I Washed The Kids Soap

















Also I went to MAC, couldn't resist going to the mall & not walking into the MAC cosmetics store...lol...I saw that they released the Dazzleglass and oh my, I really like. I am not fond of their lustreglass as they are too sticky but the Dazzleglass are extremely sexy on the lips and not too sticky. I tried on 3 and stupid me, didn't even look at the name of the colors to see which I tried, I was too overly excited as I wanted to purchase one that I loved that looks so sexilicious on me. I didn't purchase it but will be returning to MAC to get it soon. I may B2B for it...lmao!!


Smooches yall
