SCANDA-LICIOUS

November 20, 2015 writtenintentions 2 Comments

Hi lovelies!

So….yesterday was all kinds of awesome. From the voluptuous braid out to the major pop on my lips. I was totally feeling the entire look. It was appreciated by a lot of my social family and so I wanted to give you guys the deets on this amazing look!

First, the hair. Oh, the hair. This look was achieved using products from the Creme of Nature Argan Oil from Morocco line. What products exactly? Well…these:

Pure-licious Co-wash
Butter-licious Curls Curl Hydrating Creme
Twirling Custard Curl Styling Gel
100% Pure Argan Oil

Together these products gave me this super moisturized elongated braid out!

I absolutely adore this complete line of products. There will definitely be more styles to come using this line.

Now…the beat…specifically the lips. This lippie got so much love yesterday. So, here’s what I used

Jordan Blue Devine Pencil (which is really an eye liner but worked perfectly on my lips)
NYX Cosmetics Wicked Lipstick in the color Scandalous

This combination was EVERYTHING!

Well…that’s it for now. Until next time lovelies

XOXO

Bold In Blue

October 29, 2015 writtenintentions 1 Comment

Hi luvs!

Today I wanted to share the key deets on this look from last week. I was going for something really dark, crisp and dramatic.

There are a few products that helped me accomplish this. First is my go to 2nd Edition 120 color BH Cosmetics eyeshadow pallet. I used the navy and black shadow for my eyes and on the lips is this NYX Wicked lippie in the color Sinful.

I absolutely love this color! It’s so bold but beautiful. I paired it with some big silver earrings that offered a really great contrast to the look.

What’s your favorite bold lippie?

A Night Of Beauty, Recognition & Inspiration

June 16, 2015 writtenintentions Leave a comment

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending an event hosted by Its My Hair Magazine honoring several black women in publication. As a black woman in publication myself I wanted to come out to support these lovely ladies and their accomplishments. Click here to see the beautiful honorees.

It was wonderful seeing these hard working and talented women accept their awards. But, most of all it was great seeing black woman support other black women.

As for my look of the evening, well, here are some pics!

This purple infinity dress went perfect with my baby bump ❤

My hair of the evening was a combination of two dramatic chunky flat twists. I really wanted to give my face some length as its started to fill out from the baby weight. This look helped accomplish that.

I really enjoyed this look for the night.

Lastly, I had the opportunity to meet some amazing ladies at this event, some of which were honorees. I’m so excited about this becoming an annual celebration and opportunity to recognize black women in publication.

My Eyeshadow Staple

June 11, 2015 writtenintentions Leave a comment

Good Morning beauties!

Today I wanted to share some insight on a staple beauty product of mine. I get a lot of questions about whether or not I’m an MUA which is extremely flattering! However, I am just a beauty lover who enjoys playing with beauty products. But, when it comes to my eyes which are very large and expressive in case you hadn’t noticed (lol) I use just one product to achieve different pops of color. BH Cosmetics 2nd Edition 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette is it!

This bad boy has some gorgeous colors that challenge my creativity daily. And, you all know how much I just love to challenge my creativity.

The colors are very pigmented and help me form some great looks.

Edit

There are 3rd 4th and 5th Editions available but I’m still having tons of fun with this 2nd Edition Palette that I’ve had for over a year now, as you can probably tell (lol). You can get either of these Editions for just $16!! I highly recommend it.

That’s it for now! Muuuaahh!

The Pink Pout Takeover

April 16, 2015 writtenintentions 2 Comments

So I look in my little black makeup bag yesterday to find a Milani pink lippie takeover! I guess I hadn’t noticed that I’ve been wearing a lot of pink lipsticks lately. Probably because I was so excited about making my pregnancy announcement!

It looks like pink lippies are my go to this spring for vibrant colorful lips. And these three Milani lipsticks seem to have a permanent place in my makeup bag for the season.

These are the three I happened to capture yesterday but I know there are a couple other pink Milani lippies that I’ll be wearing a lot this spring like Matte Diva and Power Pink. Here’s a look at me wearing Rose Hip and Fruit Punch over the last week or so.

Edit

What are your favorite lippies this season?

Gorgeous Glam with Milani

February 24, 2015 writtenintentions 2 Comments

So I have to contribute yesterday’s glam to the two new Milani products I picked up. The color that they provided was so beautiful!

First is the Tea Rose Powder Blush. I absolutely love this color! It’s very pigmented and goes on extremely soft and smooth. My new favorite blush.

Next is this gorgeous lipstick called Matte Glam. It gave me just the pop I was looking for.

I am falling more and more in love with Milani products. And this is exactly why! Great quality products that are reasonably priced.
