Basketball Wives Season 2

i don't usually put this kind of stuff up on my blog but, i thought that this season teaser was pretty interesting. As much as I hate the fact that they exploit their personal lives on television to an extent, i love the show and Evelyn's eye make-up always looks nice!

twitter is probably over capacity because everyone probably tryin to tweet wayne and tell him "welcome home"--smh. what is this world coming to? why are people interested in doing that instead of worrying about politics and their own families and their well being? Lil Wayne can't help ya'll...

I Love This!!

Impassioned

M.A.C Impassioned is a great color that looks good on most skin tones. It's a warm, bright hot pink that has an orange-red tone. The M.A.C Amplified Creams are the least drying but not moisturizing although it doesn't dry out my lips. To me it's better than the M.A.C Cream Sheens. It's so pigmented that it stains my lips so then I only need to apply lip balm afterwards.

YO, THIS IS SO TRUE.... I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE...

I Be All Up In The Bank....

With The FUNNY FACE by Nars.... This is another color you will see me on a humble in. From www.Sephora.com or www.NarsCosmetics.com you can grab this for $24.00 (o.12oz). It's a great color, you'll have a smooth application, it's not drying and it doesn't bleed. The only downfall is that it's not moisturizing. So before applying it, use Vaseline or some sort of moisturizer and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes, blot it off and the apply the lip stick.

HAPPY PINK FRIDAY

I AM IN LOVE WITH NICKI MINAJ... THIS IS CUTE...

The Dark Side

I'm not much of a lip stick person. I like to only wear it if I have a photo shoot although everyone always requests that I have a more natural look than a bunch of makeup. There are only a few lipstick shades that I will wear out and about. Over the next few days I'll introduce you to my personal favorite lip stick shades that you might see me casually in. I think that they bring color to my personality considering I always wear black so the lip stick makes me look less plain, because I am that plain jane one solid color chick. I like simple clothes. So all black works great for me. Every now and then you catch me in something that is not black but close to it.

*MOVING FORWARD*

My first favorite color to wear is M.A.C Cyber AB8. Sells for 14.50 for a 0.10oz. It's like a deep, dark purple with a satin finish. When I wear it, it doesn't wear off too quickly but I find that I have to go over my lips with it at least two- three times to get to the darkness that I want. I've gotten a few compliments when I wear it from men. One guy said "I like when you wear that color, it kinda does something to me" o_O oookkkaaayy... Anyhow, here is what it looks like if you aren't familiar with it.

This color would be great for halloween if you're gonna be a sexy Vampire. Which I plan to be Akasha from Queen of the Damned this year... What do you think?

Razzle Dazzle

Yesterday, I kind of played around with make-up on Courtney's face-- once again. We'll just call her my canvas from now on. lol. Her face is so easy to make up and we don't HAVE to use fake lashes all the time because she has great natural ones.Instead of using MAC eye shadow, this time I decided to use Cover Girl eye shadow, and I filled her eyebrows in this time with black eye brow filler. I think cover girl is a great inexpensive line and their eye shadow's are great. I just can't use their foundation.

Below is the finished piece and the cosmetics used.

• MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF15 Deep Dark
• Bobby Brown Creamy Concealer Honey
• MAC Mineralize Medium Deep
• Cover Girl Dazzling Metallics 119
• Dior Show Mascara 090
• Baked Sugar wet/dry eye shadow V043

MY new but old talent

Ever since I can remember, I've loved everything about being a girl and making others look good. In the eighth grade, I started designing clothes which I still have the name and sketches for. I also used to do my friends hair. From sew ins, hair color and even braids. I haven't mastered the quick weaves yet because I hate the way they look but I plan on practicing on someone soon. When I got to high school, I started corn rowing the guys in my neighborhoods hair and even doing acrylic nails out of my house for extra money.

I started experimenting with make-up in high school as well. I didn't wear much of it to school because it apparently wasn't appropriate. I've always been fascinated with make-up and how it can transform a natural beauty into someone GORGEOUS and GLAMEROUS.

What I have decided to do is start a little "log" on "creations" I come up with and some make up looks that inspire me to do it either on myself or others.

I started out using my friend Courtney (@courtneydion on twitter).

This is her BEFORE

It may seem as if I used a ton of different products on her face but I didn't. For her face, I used

MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF15 Deep Dark to cover her entire face. (It's translucent so it made applying the rest of the make up easy). Under her eyes used Bobby Brown creamy concealer in "Honey". I also used MAC Mineralize Skin Finish:Medium Deep for a tint of bronze. I cleaned up under her brows with the stainless steel razor then used a fine tooth comb with gel to style them with out chopping them all up.

For her eyes, I applied MAC NC35 concealer to her eye lids and applied the listed eye shadows: MAC Satin Taupe, MAC Sketch Velvet and Cover Girl Pearl. To her natural eye lashes I applied Dior Show Mascara 090 and Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Black to the bottom lashes. Then I applied false lashes to the top lid.
For her lips, I used Chanel Lip gloss no.65, MAC Lip gloss' Chi and Underage

HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT. *please excuse my horrible camera as this will get better*lol

I also styled her natural hair and took these photos in natural light.
