Something to make your Mondays better...

Got an email today notifying me that www.hautelook.com is gonna have an URBAN DECAY event on Monday Morning 8 am pacific time or 11am eastern time (my time)... and the only logical thing to do is to put it in my calendar in my phone to alert me when the sale starts. Now the only thing I am worried about is the internet connection at work which means I will be competing with other people with high speed modems which would make my connection look like dial up. I pray to God I get at least two products before they are sold out. Here's a little bit more on the event. So if you haven't signed up on Hautelook, do it NOW. Urban Decay is one brand you don't wanna miss out on.

Lorac goodies review from hautelook.com

So I finally did a video and in one take at that. I feel so weird looking at myself. Critiquing my own voice and my round face lol but I love me none the less. My first video is a review on my Lorac makeup I got from www.hauteook.com and here you go enjoy. I will do another video showing you guys how I put in my individual lashes. Enjoy! Oh the hair is different because its been a busy week and my hair is a mess. lol

Beauty on show

So I went back into the pageant world a few months ago and I am hooked. I have been working with my new friend Twana who has found her niche in chaperoning for pageants and me... well I like to think of myself as a consultant. I don't have the time to dedicate to being a chaperone but I give advice and my input and at the night of the show I do makeup and other little things like help with the energy level back stage. Its been a good run so far, most of the girls I've worked with have landed titles. So here are a few random pics from the pageant circuit.

In her afternoon delight dress. I had to play hairdresser for this segment.

Amelia- Ms Respect. She was such as sweet girl. And Twana her Chaperone

These dresses were amazing. All the girls looked so pretty

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.

My take on J-Lo's Into You Video look

Hi Beauties,

So if you haven't seen J-Lo's new video for her latest song "Into You" Click here to watch it J Lo. I must admit that I've always been a fan of her style. She has the best skin in the business. After seeing how her skin was glowing in this video I started taking my fish oil tabs again ( Omega 3 fatty acids great for your skin).  I love the styling in the video too. It was like modern  twist on a tropical aztec look. Three things about her makeup that should out to me:
1. Glowing Skin- bronzed and highlighted
2. Dramatic Smokey eyes
3. Sexy Nude lips

 So I went out with my girls on Friday and decided to put my own twist on her look.

For the look:
Eyes: MAC Pigment in Gold Stroke (pale gold) and Bronze( for the outer v)

L'oreal Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Black ( used an angle brush to draw the line in the crease)
Maybelline the Colossal Volume Express in Glam Black

Face: Luminess Airbrush Makeup in 7 (will do a post on the air brush system later)

Cheeks: Quo baked bronzer and Black Radiance Mosaic

Lips: Covergirl Queen Collection lipstick in Au Naturale

I have so many more looks to post like my version of rihanna's who that chick video look.  I just need to find the time. Stay tuned for more and stay beautiful.


P.S. most of the pics are taken with my black berry cam cus I hate to walk around with my camera. I am thinking of doing a video though. Finally!!!

Would you try this trend?

Lately I've been thinking even though I love my red lipstick I am bored with lipsticks and lip glosses and tinted lip balms so I went searching for the next trend when it comes to lips. And guess what I found............
TEMPORARY LIP TATTOOS
This company called Violent Lips Click here to go to their store Violent Lips came up with the concept of tattoos with cool designs for lips. I love it. There are tutorials for on the site on how to wear these tattoos on your lips.  Keyshia Cole was spotted in a pr of the pink cheetah pr on 106 and park and they looked good on her. I have no doubt that women of colour can't try this trend too. They cost arounf $14.95 US  for three prs in pack and I think although the tutorial looks easy it would be hard to cut out the shape for your lips without some practice. There are many designs some of my favourites are :

Pink Cheetah

The Leopard

EACH VIOLENT LIP PACKAGE INCLUDES THREE TEMPORARY LIP TATTOO APPLICATIONS

FREE SHIPPING* IS AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME

Would you give these a try? I am definitely sold I will try the pink cheetah and the pink polka dot maybe the red and black animal print.

If you get bored easily like me with your beauty routine keep searching and experimenting, who knows you might come up with the next trend in beauty.
