Ruby Woo!!!

I being dying to tray MAC's Ruby Woo, a classic matte red shade, popular with WOC, so a couple weeks I went and purchased it along with MAC's brick liner. I'm sooooo in love with this combo

Lady Gaga 2

As you may already know, MAC Viva Glam and Lady Gaga have teamed up once again and released Lady Gaga 2 lipstick and lip glass on 2/17/11, this pass weekend I was finally able my hands both the lipstick and lip glass. I sat on Gaga I (which i love) so I was only able to get the lipstick, I want to be sure I got both the lip glass and lipstick this time.

MAC website describes Gaga 2 as "light natural beige" it is also an amplified creme which means it more creamy and pigmented. Both the lip glass and lipstick are $14.50 and can be found at MAC location as well as www.maccometics.com. As usual 100% of the proceeds go to HIV/AIDS research.

As a WOC I was a little scared that this might be a little to light for me, but applied with a light hand and a brown liner ( i used cork by MAC) it looks beautiful!!

Short styles #1

I decide to try something new on here! I been rocking the short for over 10 years! I first cut my hair when I 16 ( and it was not the popular thing to do then at all) and I completely fell in love! Its definitely me! Over the years I have learned to completely care for it myself! I can never see myself with long hair really! If i ever do grow my hair out it will be dread up. I just want to post some short hair tips and styles!







this was a very simple style to achieve, first I molded my hair then sat under a hood dryer till completely dry. I then took my flat iron and made the flips and bends using Elasta QP curl wax. I finished the style off with a little Paul Mitchell Soft spray! and thats it all!

E.L.F 32 color palette: intitals thoughts

I was shook today when i was in mey local target and finally they has E.L.F products i never tried them before but what could I really lose, 32 shandows for five bucks!!!! So i scooped this baby up!!!!! Now some of the shadows were decent, some of them were horrible (I can't lie ladies I couldn't the purple to show up at all) these shadows definately need a base! Overall its ok for five bucks, perfect for teens and stocking stuffers this holiday season! I'm play this and update yall on the weariblity of these shadows!



(can barely see the swatches, smh this is with no base)

LOTD Medusa!

Hey ladies! I know it been a while but motherhood has been kicking my butt! I hope to be able to post at least twice a week! I really have learning so much and branching out in to other brands. One of my personal faves now is NYX! I also have be try to get more into lipsticks like bold reds, deep purples and hot pinks! So my most recent NYX purchase was very exciting and new to me! Its a color you may have heard of already NYX lipstick in "Medusa". Medusa is a deep beautiful rich purple lippie that is perfect for fall. I paired it with NYX "african queen" lipgloss and "deep purple" liner! I also used MAC's dirty plum blush on my cheeks! With such a bold lip i really wanted to keep the eyes soft and neutral!









I'm soooooo loving this look!
