Curiosity Kills ... Sometimes

Hello Ladies! So I was  curious about black lipstick. How would it look on me??? I saw one of my followers Jonna's blog and saw how it looks on fairskinned girls. But what about dark skin? So when I went to Walmart today I checked every makeup line and the only brand that had black lipstick was Black Radiance (LOL). Anyways I tried it on and took dozens of photos. Even made a video for my YouTube Channel (comming soon by the way). Tell me what you think! I love it! Not for everyday of course but I'm sure I will figure it out.

Oh and what do you think of the new layout? Is it confusing? Bland? or did u just like it the other way? Let me know ... I do this for you! =) DONT FORGET MY CONTEST! ENDS JUNE 21!

Beginner!

So my mom has been trying to keep up with my makeup skills for the past few months (lol). But she had no brushes, all her makeup was old (I mean OLD!), and she didn't know how to apply it. So I decided to get her started with a fresh new set of tools and etc. Heres what I got her:

And on another note for those of you who entered my contest, you all should have received some sort of indication that I got it. If not you may want to send it again. But you still have one more week!

MUA & Plato's Closet

Hey Ladies! Ok so this might be a long post. So lets just get to it. So I've decided to feature a MUA once a day (until I get a life and can't do it everyday). It will be a photo from a modeling site I'm a member of and I will post the name of the makeup artist, the photographer, and sometimes the model. Here's today's feature:

{Her lip says "DOLL"}

MUA: Alyne

Model: Raquel Reed

Photographer: Dale May

I love this photo! The theme looks like a recreation of Katy Perry's Califonia Girl look. And the colors are my favorites! Looks like this one make me dream more of becoming a professional makeup artist. Alyne is located in Rutherford, NJ.

On another note today I ended up going to Plato's Closet for the first time. I brought a huge trash bag full of clothes to sell. In the end I spent $70 and sold $12.15. They bought only 2 pairs of jeans a tank and some shoes. I could have sold them for more at a yard sale. I'm a little disappointed YES but I did like what I got. Most of their things were overpriced. Like these tanks that still had the sticker on them said $4. They marked them up to $8. That place is not for everyone I guess. But on the upside the manager (a guy) actually complimented my eye makeup today. Odd huh? Anyways Here are some pics I took today:

CCO ... A Romper ... & Pink!

 Look What I Got!

Ok so the past week or so has been eventful. Unplanned trips, spontaneous days, and trips to the beach. But that just summer I guess. Today I ended up going out of town and decided to stop at my first CCO! Corny? I know! LOL But I heard so many great things about them I had to check it out. But I went with my roommate. The first thing she said was "They don't have anything" ... MAC she meant. But I was warned already that the ones that weren't in large cities had minimal MAC products. But after 15 minutes heres what I got:

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Brunette

I needed a bronzer (Summertime!) but i didn't know which one to get so i picked the first one I saw. But if it doesn't workout I may have to put it on my blog sale.

1. MAC LipGlass - Gitane
2. MAC LusterGlass - Angel Wing
3. MAC LipGlass - Magnetique
4. MAC LipGlass - Pinkular
5. MAC LusterGlass - Instant Gold

Ok so I didn't wear this today but I have a dilemma. I also went to Forever 21 today but ended up trying on this romper from Forever 21 but i don't know if it's flattering enough to spend $30 on it.

Before today I was dying to get this. I don't know if it's because of my weight problem or the color but it's not what I expected. Am I going crazy? What do you think. [Just pretend I don't have a gut! LOL]

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro - 330 Posh Pink

Love this nail polish! It dried within 3 minutes! Literally! And it's supposed to Last up to 10 days. Ha! I guess we will see!

Look of the Day - A Contest Entry

So I entered MsWhispers's Spring Time Contest on YouTube and this was my look. (Yes I was inspired by the Nicki photo lol ... but I changed it up a bit) I'll post the video later. Wish me luck! =)

Nicki Minaj

Ok so she's starting to grow on me. I wasn't her biggest fan when she first came out for various reasons but I see her in a different light now. I've seen a few of her interviews and they made me think twice. But anyhoo! I saw the photo below on Composition Inc.'s blogspot. The photo is a leaked image from the VIBE's June 2010. (I am in no way claiming to own the rights to this photo!) As soon as I saw it I fell in love! You girls know that these are my colors! =) Her makeup is hot! maybe I can recreate this look for you ladies. Enjoy!

Look of the Night

So this is obviously last night''s look. I went out with some of my friends and this is what I decided to do to my face. My dress was purple. I had no time to take full photos so this is just one of those few that I could take. I took a  picture for the club so hopefully if they post it I will post it here as well. I'm hungry so I will be back later! Love u guys! =)

Look of the Day

 

I still have heat rash but this look made me feel a little better. Yay for makeup! LOL

Preppy Pink

I went home this weekend to see my parents ... I took these pictures as we were on the way to a family friends birthday party. I had litterally 5 minutes to do my makeup before we left so I put on blush black eyeshadow - no primer :( - and pink lipstick from N.Y.C. I plan on going to the Mac counter tomorrow to pick up the Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick and Viva Glam VI Lipglass. Hopefully they have it. Oh and I am planning to do a haul to show everything I bought over the past few months so make sure you check out YouTube! =)

Revlon PhotoReady & ColorStay Pt.2

Look of the Day

Today was the last full week of classes and i decided to change it up today. i almost never wear my hair straight. So I flat ironed it and this was the result. Not bad! But I also did my makeup today - pink lip and blush.
