FOTD: Bey's Party Video Inspired Look

Hello beauties,


I hope all is well and in great favor. I know last week I was on a blog roll of hauls post... Note to myself again "stop procrastinating to blog on haul post". However, let's get on to this FOTD which features an inspired makeup look from the Queen B herself: Beyonce. I was so appalled that J. Cole was the one chosen to remix the track: Party ... I absolutely love his fine self. I have been waiting since her album release for this video because it's my second fave song on the album and yes she brought it. I love the style and colors used. Let me share my inspired version of one of her makeup looks in the video.

MINI HAUL: Apothica.com

Hey Beauties,



OMG!! It's another mini haul.... Apothica.com a beauty, fragrance and skincare company sells various makeup, skincare and fragrance products and are very affordable as other beauty online retailers. This company has one of the best customer service. They are reliable, efficient and polite. Some brands that this company sells are: Deborah Lippmann, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Too Faced, Yves Saint Laurent & Bvlgari.

Check out  Apothica.com 

Clinique Different Moisturizing Gel (x2),  Too Faced Glitter Glue & Smashbox Photo Finish primer along with 2 sample products

I am a major fan of Clinique Moisturizing Gel, after discovering that this moisturizer is the only product that works for my sensitive combination skin and doesn't break me out, I cannot stop using this product. I have to stock up on this product always. 

Smashbox Photo Finish primer has been one of my favorite primers lately, it is a very good product for my combination skin during the Summer, Spring and Fall season. It reduces the oil production in face makeup and keeps my foundation in tact for hours. I use it in accordance with Phillips Milk of Magnesia during very humid weather conditions and best believe my foundation is pretty decent in the Florida climate.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter glue is a cosmetics glitter adhesive, I haven't used this product to give my review but from testing it on my hands with a random glitter it seems to hold up and adhere to the glitter smoothly.
