Halloween Throwback Homage

Hi Beauties, 

So I learnt I am not too old to play dress up. My girl Mo along with Helena decided to dress up as the famous female trio rap group  Salt n Pepa, yes I said trio because Spinderella was also a member of the group. I was supposed to be Salt and I think I did a good job. Finding  late 80s, early 90s vintage clothing was harder than I thought. I ended up borrowing my bfs vintage varsity jacket, got the tights from american apparel for way too much money and thirfted a bathing suit from Value village to be my leotard. I had the gold chain at home and Mo provided the door knocker earrings. Oh and she also made the hats for us which definitely sealed the look.

Makeup in that era was pretty heavy and intense so I pretty much packed on the foundation and blush and rocked a bright red lip with MAC Ruby Woo and Revlon Really Red together. The eyes were a simple brown smokey eye. We headed to a Halloween party on Saturday night where most girls were nurses, police women, maids and pirates. I guess we didn't get the memo. lol 

Monday in class we did zombies and another look using tape to make anything you wanted. I had no clue what I wanted to do so it ended up looking like a cat behind bars lol. Check out the pics below

WHAT DID YOU DRESS UP AS FOR HALLOWEEN?

Red lipstick Challenge

Hi Beauties, In my quest to get more women to wear red lipstick I picked up two reds that were complete opposites, both from Revlon and can be found in any drugstore or walmart. I love Revlon lipsticks because you get the quality you'd expect from a higher end brand for a drug store price. And one of their spokespersons in none other than Ms. Halle Berry. At Shoppers's Drugmart I picked up Really Red which is a Matte bright Orangey Red. I love this colour with animal print or I can see it with a jade or bright green outfit. It's on the matte side so its not too creamy and I think any one who is brave enough can pull off this colour. If you are on the lighter side, it might be a bit bright when you first put it on but wearing red is all about confidence. To tone it down a bit you could always wear a darker red or brown lip liner underneath. This has become Mo's favourite new lip colour.  You can see her wearing it here Mo wearing "Really Red" .  The second one I got was on the darker side called "Black Cherry" and it looks just like that. Its a Super Lustrous Creme lipstick so it goes on creamy and smooth. In pics it looks more red than it does in person. This is perfect for women who want to wear a deeper more toned down red lipstick- the not so brave ones lol. Both lipsticks were on sale for $6.99 each.

I am challenging you to go out and try either or a red lipstick that you've been wanting to try. Send me pics pls. Remember my red win-free-lipstick.

REALLY RED- I am wearing it right now and its a lil bit drying so you would want to make sure your lips are super moisturized.
