LOTN

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone week is going great so far, so far for me its ok, just another week but hey gotta be thankful... So I did this look for the night (LOTN).

Was going for simple and there you have it a 'simple look', nothing dramatic. Now for my foundation, I had did my face makeup in the day and I have tried a new method in using my Everyday Minerals foundation. I did the process of applying it wet, I sprayed my kabuki brush with some *homemade mixing medium/fix + (3 parts water and 1 parts glycerin) and then swirled in my foundation and applied it over the liquid foundation I applied first which is Revlon Colorstay (oily/combination):Mahogany.
Also today was my first time using a stippling brush to stipple my liquid foundation and I absolutely love the results, I will definitely be doing this method again. Sometimes we need to try new methods in makeup application to see what works well for us and what gives us the best results than before. I for one am still learning and trying new things everyday.


Here goes some pictures:









FACE:
Monistat Chafing Gel (primer)
Revlon Colorstay f/d (oily/combination): Mahogany
Everday Minerals f/d: Tan (*applied wet with homemade fix+)
MAC Studio Finish Concealer:NW45 (under eye dark circles)

LOTD & Random

Hello lovelies,

So I my day started out by getting out of bed earlier than usual as compared to any other day, my daughter had her 15mth doctor's appointment at 11am and knowing myself I take almost 3 hours to get me, myself and her ready. So I hurried a look for the day because unfortunately I was running out of time and was gonna get to the Pediatrician office late.

So here is a look that I wanted to name 'Cotton Candy', but its a no no for that name, didn't come out how I wanted (still in learning process):





still having bad hair day

So I got home and took a ling nap with my daughter, she was totally tired from the shots she got and the hot weather (today was hella hot)...We were out when we fell asleep, phone was ringing off the hook and I didn't even hear it...lol (blame it on the weather).



~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got up and decided to do something fresh with my Milani Runway eyes single eyeshadows that I hardly used because they are super glittery.

P.S. Picture of my daughter after she got home and got 2 shots...lol...she is seriously my idol, she is so strong and a little brave heart, all smiley face even after her visit. I would be in pain still after any injection.

(mini me, think she was happy to be home, who likes a doctor's office)



Be fabulous!!

Hello lovelies,

Hope yall are having a fun weekend, well I just finish having my dinner...yum yum...love me some fried chicken with rice & peas and spaghetti salad.
So before eating I attempted another green look. Even though I had nowhere going, but stayed home I felt I should utilize my makeup [as some do expire], so why have them take up dust :))
I also did a little makeup organization where I bought the triple storage organizers from Walgreens and organized my HIP duo eyeshadows and new haul of NYX round lipsticks.

Now here is the LOTD:
