FOTD: By Starlight

Hello Lovelies,

I hope all is well.... If you are on Instagram and follow Rih Rih aka Rihanna she has a new Makeup Artist who goes on tour with her and does the most awesome makeup looks on her. Her name is Lora aka @loreleicakes on IG. Lora has a cosmetics line named MeltCosmetics and boy oh boy she offers the most beautiful colors of matte lipsticks ever. She also uses her products on Rihanna which definitely urged me to at least purchase an item. I have been eyeing the purple lipstick because I absolutely love to see purple lip colors on us woman of color and even though her lipsticks are pricey it is definitely worth it. Here goes my look using her lipstick. Check out MeltCosmetics.com for more colors even though most are sold out within days they are re-launced.

FOTD: Crucible Gold

Hello Lovelies,

I am so impressed with these TKB Trading micas I have gotten couple months ago. These Micas are super intense and I have not even pressed then into eyeshadows yet. I prefer to spend on these individual sample baggies than on pigments from these other companies which sell the same micas from TKB Trading and stamp pigments on them. I've saved lots of money to even get more additional micas to try and use. For a sample baggie you get a long lasting amount that will fill a 5gram jar and leave more. So here is my Look Of The Day!!!













Products Used
FACE

LIPS

LIPS II
Wet n Wild lip stain: Red My Mind 







On this Wet n Wild lipstain right here, it's the worst product Wet n Wild has ever made. Like WTF!! It's so rubbery and it takes forever to dry, furthermore you cant even blot your lips together as if you do it will come off as rubber. The only good is, it's an intense color. Hey Wet n Wild cosmetics, get your ingredients right with this one.
