Would you rock orange lips?

Hi beauties,

Sorry for the neglect.
So my mom got me some MAC goodies a few weeks ago and since then I have been so busy and also sick I haven't gotten a chance to update much. I have already experimented with most of my goodies but on sunday I decided to wear MAC Morange lipstick to church. It is a bright matte orange lipstick , probably too bright for me so what I did was wear it under a MAC amplified red-orange colour of which I can't tell you the name because it rubbed off and I have been trying to find it on their website but no luck. Any way I wore the red colour as a base then wore Morange over it and it worked out. I also put my MAC lip tint which has a coral-orange sheer colour on top for some gloss. This is after church so it might look a lil worn and then I wore it later to a photoshoot. Pics below.Let me know if you would try this trend for summer. I am also wearing a bright neon orange nail polish from Color Club called Electric sunset that I borrowed from my mom cus she wouldn't even wear it. Love it so I don't think she'll be getting it back. I am looking for orange blush to rock in the summer as well. Renember don't discount a shade just because it doesn't look perfect on you right away you can always experiment and make it work for you.

Next post would be some random photos from pageants over the months I think and I also have to do a post on the individual lashes I put it on saturday night. I am wearing them in the photos above. Super excited about that. I got some medium flare individual lashes today so I cant wait to try those.

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)

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.
