Kiss me 'cus its Spring time!

Hi beauties,
This spring its all about bright lip colours. Now again some of you make say you can't pull off a bright lip colour but its all about finding the right shade for your skin tone.


One of the hottest lip colours this spring is orange. Don't get scared just yet because orange is one of the most attractive colours on women of colour. You just need to go out and find your shade. For top picks there are
MAC Morange
Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Intense in 40 ($19 at sephora.com)
Revlon MD Orange Flip ($7 at drugstore.com or amazon.com)
NYX Cosmetics Diamond Sparkle Lipstick in Orange ($5 at nyxcosmetics.com)
Milani lipcolour in Orange Gina ($3.49 at amazon.com or cvs.com or drugstore.com)
Stila Lipglaze Stick in Orange ($4.99 at amazon.com)

MAC Morange

For those who are skeptical you can start out with a sheer gloss like MAC Tinted lip conditioner in Gentle Coral. Its one of my favourite glosses and it happens to be orangey sort of coral but it goes on very sheer.

I found my perfect shade of orange from The power of plants Botanics in 60. It has a reddish undertone which works well with my complexion. Oh and the orange nail polish is from NYC cosmetics.


Another hot colour for lips this spring of course is fuchsia. This again is a perfect lip shade for women of colour as long as they find their shade. I tend to stick to fuchsia lip colours with a blue base meaning it has a bluish undertone when you look at it. My favourite fuchsia lipstick of the moment is NYC 405B which you can find pretty much at any drugstore or walmart.

Colour me Copper!

Hi beauties. Hope you are having a fab weekend. My weekend has been eventful so far. Went out withe girls last nite but did not get to take ne pics, I saw a request in the comments to show the copper eyeshadow I got from coastal scents. It is a little bit darker than coppering by MAC which is my favourite copper eyeshadow but I like it. I must reiterate- EVERY WOMAN OF COLOUR SHOULD OWN A COPPER EYESHADOW.

Last night I wore supreme copper with MAC Amp it up-  very bubblegum pink lipstick. It was rather unexpected spur of the money thing but it worked out- i liked it! Today I went to a baby shower and decided that since I didn't get to take pics last nite, I would rock copper eyeshadow today again. I went for a golden goddess look.

Eyes: supreme copper
MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow in Inter view- has three colours. I used the bronze and copper in my crease and outer V.
NYC Liquid Eyeliner
Maybelline Collosal Mascara

Eyebrows: MAC Kohl pencil in Molasses

Face: MAC Studio Fix Powder plus foundation NW43
MAC Studio Fix concealer NW 40

So here's my look. Go out and create your own with your favourite copper eyeshadow. Stay true. Stay beautiful.
