My New Eyeshadow Palette and etc!

Hey guys! I have been very interested in wearing eyeshadow more often. I have only worn it on special occasions like date nights, formals, parties, and etc. The pictures below are examples of my eye shadow routine for special occasions and nights out on the town!

A casual night out on the town  in 2010!

In my daily life, I just stick to my signature black eye liner look, and it works fine for me. However, I would like to start incorporating eyeshadow in my routine maybe twice a week or so! I recently received an awesome eyeshadow palette from Samsbeauty.com. It is the Beauty Treats 120 Professional Palette, and it is $14.99 right now on their website. They sent it to me for  free, but I will give my honest opinion on the product anyway. They also sent me The Ruby Kisses 24 HRS Eyeshadow Magic Primer ($4.95) and an NYX Jumbo Pencil($3.49) in the color "Milk."  I realllllly like all of the products! The eyeshadow palette has a variety of warm and cool colors, so there are shades in their for all year round! The shadow goes no really well and can be built up to your desired level of pigment depending upon what method of application you use. The Ruby Kisses primer and NYX pencil are also great tools to help achieve a more pigmented shadow. I think this is definitely an inexpensive way to to started on my eyeshadow journey. If any of you want to get into wearing eye shadow, I would recommend starting with these items. Click here to see my video review of the products. In the video I give the pros and cons, and also demonstrate how the colors look when applied.

Nude Lipstick for Brown and Dark Skin Tones...




There aren't many resources out there for "sistas" who are into wearing nude lipstick. Well, I just purchased two nude lipsticks about in January, and I have a review on them! The first is "In the Buff" 800 by L'Oreal. The 2nd is "Nude Attitude" by Revlon. I truly LOVE the L'Oreal one, and the Revlon is nice as well! Please check out my review for the full details!

How to Make Your Own Lipgloss

I know I have been M.I.A for a while, but I'm back with a fun tutorial. If you are anything like me, you probably have a hard time finding the perfect lipstick. I love heavily pigmented shades, and it is really hard to find one that meets my expectations. So, for the past few years, I have mostly made my own lipstick instead! I have purchased some store brands, but I loveeee my custom shades. This is a fun little project that can be made with most items you have just lying around the house. If you are looking to get rid of some of your eye shadows, blushes, or bronzers...then this is the perfect project for you. This can be something made as a gift, or just a small fun project for mothers and daughters. But if you just want to be fierce...check out my tutorial video! Have fun!
