Ms. April Showers



A few months back, I had a great opportunity to work with Lauren Luna. A fantastic artist who resides in Columbus Ohio. She emailed me late 2009 asking if I would be interested in modeling a custom sneaker, and I would represent my birthday month. Unfortunately, I didn't get my birthday month which is March, but I did get the next best month in the spring which is April. April showers brings May flowers so, my shoe was filled with beautiful Monarch butterflies against a green background which represented grass/tress/nature to match the umbrella I held up so I wouldn't get my hair wet ;o). Along side of me in the Calendar is the wonderful Jayonna Fabro, Andrea Marie and about 10 other beautiful models.

Brand New Goth

For this look, I was a bit inspired by the Prada's fall 2009 runway show. They had sort of a Vampire feel as to where I took it to something different and added bronze, kept the eyebrows, and added black eye shadow and a heavy black lip. So I call it:

Classic TrophyWife Look

I was going to do a video tutorial on how I do my "Classic TrophyWife" look, but I decided to wait. Many of you are probably like "huh? classic trophywife". For those of you that don't know, I am a glamour model and I go by the name "TrophyWife". My classic look is just a bronzed face, highlighting my cheek bones and jaw line with a semi smoky eye. As you have noticed, I am trying to slowly but surely turn my blog into a beauty blog and something more personal with fashion and such. Only because, that's what I'm interested in and it's a common subject with women. As the days, weeks, months go on I will be doing much more, so please stay tuned.

"CLASSIC TROPHYWIFE" look:




This is a look that I wear daily not only because it's neutral and goes well with the all black that I always wear, but also because I can just put it on quickly and go.

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!

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.

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.
