1st look Daytime Simple

I decided to use the ELF 32 color palette for the rest of the week to give it a good test drive! Heres the first look I created:







now like I said in a previous post these need a base but other than that I just used the shadows from this palette

Base: NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk
lid: 4th color in the 1st row (antique gold)
crease: 6th color in the 1st row (matte brown)
outer corner: 7th in the 4th row (matte black)
to finish the look off i use Revlon colorstay liner pen in black and L'oreal voluminous mascara in black. I'm also wearing MAC's raizin blush and touch lipstick. This is a perfect office look!

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!
