Lip of the Night

Hi,


I did this lip color because I was trying to capture Letoya Luckett lip color from her Regret video featuring Ludacris. Omg I love that song. I think the fellas who've left their girlfriends who made them seem like they were the 'ish' are gonna hate this song...lol

Let me say the lip color didn't come out anything near what Letoya was wearing but I love the outcome anyways and decided to share.

LIPS:
Burt Bees Lip balm
NYC cover concealer
Absolute! l/s: Wild Violet
Covergirl Wet Slicks Amazemint: Plum crazy

Be Fabulous!!

Here is my mini haul from Target


I purchased some ELF goodies: bronzer brush, total face brush, eyeshadow beauty encyclopedia, false eyelash set and other stuff. I washed the brushes so I won't show pictures of them as they are in the drying process (that's for a later haul). Anyways here are pictures of the eyeshadow palette and eyelash set. Swatches of the eyeshadow palette shown too.

The eyeshadow palette came with a mini eyeliner pencil and mini double sided brush and sponge tip applicator, but I gave them to my niece.





Swatches
1st row & 2nd row



3rd row and cream shadows


Super pigmented and this was just one swipe. The cream shadows make fabulous highlight color . I will try them in future looks as bases to see if they hold out long and whether they crease or not.


Be fabulous!

Thank you again

Hello


So I know you have all seen ABrilliantBrunette.com post on me winning her Breast Cancer Awareness Contest (click here to view the winner post announcement). I want to say Big Thank you to her and to those you send special congrats comments on her post. I appreciate her and all the lovely bloggers. Jacqueline is one of my many beauty bloggers who I adore, let me rephrase I adore her beauty, your makeup looks and her taking time out to do blog tutorials... super cool!

She does the best and the prettiest makeup looks I've seen and I wish everyday my looks come as close to hers but it hasn't reached that level. She is terrific at makeup and utilizes colors in the most awesome way. Thank you ABrilliantBrunette.com
Want to see cool, beyond gorgeous makeup looks check out her website, she was also on Youtube but she does post to her website more than her Youtube channel. I know you all will be addicted to her makeup looks and always looking forward to her helpful post.

Thank you again ABrilliantBrunette!!

Randomness and Thank you

Hi lovelies,


So I won a blogger contest: Every girl's little addiction, I emailed her my info twice (a day after the winning announcement and day after that) but I didn't get any reply from her. Well she has choosen another winner :( and I don't know it's some email mess going on but I know that my email is definitely working well, as I check both regular emails and see if mails go to my spam section also. I did leave a comment on her winner blog post too. I don't know what went wrong. Anyways some loss but "whatever" moving on.....



*************

Ok So let me say A BIG THANK YOU TO DVORADIVINE, where I won her giveaway a few months ago but there were some issues with postal services from her location but it got to me and I am so happy and THANKFUL. I knew what to expect but she threw in something else which was too too sweet of her because I have been wanting one of these products for so long but it's not available in the USA. Need less to say I truly appreciate your kindness dear and even after I didn't have a computer during the month of July she contacted me via my Youtube to let me know I won, which was too too nice of her because I didn't have a computer to check my blog during July (but she found me through Youtube, wow how cool). Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!
That was my first blog win and I didn't even expect to win but I am truly grateful and Thank you Deborah and I love you girl not only for your gift but for sharing your makeup tips, hauls and of course I love your fabulous blog. Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
If you haven't seen her blog and Youtube check it out, she is very very talented at makeup application and she is a total sweetheart.

Thank You Deborah.
