Face of The Day - Copper smokey look

Hey loves!

Today’s post is a makeup related one! Last night I had the very rare opportunity to go out and have some ‘me’ time. I went out for drinks and some vagabonding in Montreal’s Old Port, which is really beautiful at nighttime.  I wanted to keep my makeup simple but still kinda sexy so I went for a copper smoky look. I also didn’t want anything clashing with my loud candy nails (which the waitress who served us loved!) so I wore all black and accessorized with a skull scarf and a leather jacket (not shown). Here is a list of the products I used to achieve this look:

EYES:

-       Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

-       Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette in Vanity

-       Cargo eyeline in black

-       Rimmel Glam’Eyes mascara in Extreme Black

LIPS:

-       Nars lipgloss in Chihuahua

FACE:

-       Lise Watier Portfolio concealer wheel

-       MAC Sheer loose powder in NW45

-       Nars blush in Taj Mahal

Besos!

My Purple Fixation

Hey loves!

I haven’t made a video in soooo long. Like  2 or 3 months for sure. I want to start making them again. Especially beauty related vids. If you guys have any special requests you can always leave them in comment section.

I was watching an episode of Basketball Wives LA (I’m still trying to catch up!) and Draya (loves her) was wearing this awesome purple lipstick (I think it was matte too). I’ve been on the hunt for purple lipsticks ever since. Check it out.

Enjoy,

Lipstick AND polish?!? Oh my!

Well hello to all my lovelies!

 This is gonna be a pretty quick post. Let's start with the nails. I had been meaning to get OPI's Skull & Glossbones ever since the Pirates of the Caribbean collection came out (can you believe I haven't seen the last one yet?!? SHAME!). Because I only have two hands and so many bottles of polish to try, I decided to swatch it for you that way you could at least take a look at it. It's a super light yet "dirty" type of color. *describing colors isn't really my forte*. I then added some cute designs with Konad's special polish in black.

Love the little cartoons

*specially that little hot pepper on the middle finger*

I also have a new vid. The MacBook is still alive which means that iMovie and I are trying to work things out. This was another  request but this time it's about lipstick. I know that it can be difficult as a dark skinned woman to find that perfect shade so this video will give you a few options. Please note that this blog is about beauty in general and is not specifically geared towards black women. This blog is for ALL OF US and the tips presented here can be useful to anyone who wants to learn more about lipstick. You just have to know how to make the information work for you. If you're white or just a lighter shade of brown then look for a lighter colored lipliner.

Hope this helps!
