I went and picked up some Jordana lipsticks that were on sale at my local K-mart. I am so thankful for my YouTube Sister “ThickChickVlogs” for posting a video showing us some of these goodies she got on sale from K-mart. So this morning I decided to stop by K-mart to see if I could find some new lippies. I picked up some in neutrals, natural, and a couple of pink colors (I still haven’t found my perfect pink lip as of yet, but that isn't going to stop me from searching! No way!! I am very satisfied with what I chose because there wasn't too many to choose from; those lippies were picked clean almost…lol. You see the price on the receipt below...yeah! In order left to right: Madison Ave., Caramel Latte, Simply Natural, Racy Raspberry

I was so feeling myself this day; I was feeling loved & blessed by my fam, my make up came out great, my hair was on point...Awesome!!! So I had a beautiful day out with my Hubby taking care of business, and picking up our dinner: lasanga & french bread and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. My boys and I just really discovered chocolate covered strawberries at my cousin's wedding reception; I don't know, I just never ever tried them before...lol! But yeah, we like to make our own. So I decided that I would wear a red lip today--to go with my red shirt, and V-Day--I did a neutral eye, some conturing, and very little blush. Va-la...I really liked the outcome. I hope you are and have been surrounded by love in all forms. Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Want to wish everyone a Happy 2014 New Year! I pray that you all made it safely and blessed. So I wore neutral color (browns, grays, and bronze) to bring in the new year December 31st (picture above) was very quiet; my husband and I had a very nice intimate evening; and then on January 1st (picture on the left) I spent the morning with my best friend, and rest of the day/night with my sister, oldest son & little brother. We looked at the whole 1st season of "Orange is the New Black," which was a great show; can't wait for the second season on Netflix. I don't really believe in resolutions so much; but I do believe in making claims for the New Year. For 2014 I claim Jesus’ Will as my way; and I also claim my life purpose that God has for me. AMEN! What do you claim for 2014? So I like to wear makeup, yeah that's a given for those who know me, but I don't really wear any dramatic colors. I usually wear a lot of neutrals like brown, tan and gold color. I wanted to wear a red eye color to match a flower I was wearing in my hair; and I recorded the process...lol! Now the video was like 30 minutes so I broke it down into sections: Highlighting/Foundation (part 1); Eyeshadow application (part 2); Finishing (part 3). I think I will be trying blue or some other bright color. Of course I still love the natural look, but adding some color feels good too. This video tribute is for the family of Talia Castellano aka TaliaJoy18, who has gone home with the Lord on July 16, 2013. Tribute started by hopeharriskd (http://youtu.be/HK7tUkFhTDg) TaliaJoy18’s Video "My Covergirl Day Makeup Tutorial:" http://youtu.be/JQiojgwRodw An 13 yr. old MUA, yes she was, and she was fiercely awesome. I found this video from last year. This a very brave little girl; and she was letting us know that she has made peace w/ moving on. I pray that her family is comforted during their loss; she will live forever in everyone's memories; and the will meet her again in eternity. She is in paradise w/the Lord, I believe. RIP TaliaJoy18 So I was noticing that I was getting bumps on my face; especially on my cheek area and forehead, and I thought about it: "Hmm, I haven't cleaned my brushes in a second." I tried to stay on schedule and w/ all the new looks I been doing, it was definitely time to clean them. So I used some mild soap and added some alcohol to clean & disinfect my brushes, and then I rinsed with water and witch hazel mixture; and finally, rinsed in warm water and sat out to dry. This should alleviate the bumps that are showing up because I make sure to keep my face cleansed and it seems like it wasn't working, so it must be the tools needing cleaning...lol! We shall see!! Man I love this look; it only took about 10 minutes to complete. My hubby wasn't complaining that he had to wait on me...lol!! I have Revlon PhotoReady in 'Mocha' mixed w /Donna Michelle in 'Dark 1' (reached down in my foundation stash, trying to use up my old foundations. I set my foundation w/face powder. I used as my bronzer for my cheeks. I have a grey-silver color on my lids (profusion-Halo the palette), "chocolatier" in my crease (Costal Scents), and a light bluish-white as highlight under brow bone (Costal Scents 88 warm palette). "Trendy" by NYX Mega Lip Gloss on lips...and bam!!! It's a look. |
