I picked up several new nail polish colors from the SinfulColors line for fall so I’ll be sure to show them to you all as I try them out. The first is called Cool Gray. It almost seems to have a blue tint. I’m really liking it though. What do you think?
Hi beauties!
I stopped by Walgreens searching for some new fall beauty products and came across Fergie’s Wet ‘n Wild lipstick line. I purchased a couple of colors including the ultimate bold lip color. Fergie calls it “Pagan Angel” I call it black…and fierce! Looking forward to pairing this beautiful bold lippie.
This combination is great for weekends! Sunday I decided to roll with this combo for our first BBQ since moving to ATL. I pulled together two great colors and got this look! The shadow is from my BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette and the lipstick is VaVa Violet by Revlon.
Hi beauties!
Today I went with a classic look and tried out some faux bangs for the first time. I didn’t want the complete retro style so I swept them to the side but I think I really like it. What do you think?
Hi beauties!
Today, the fam and I attended a BBQ which I honestly wasn’t looking forward to mainly because I had so much to do around the house. Fortunately, it actually turned out to be a really nice time.
To help get some pep in my step I decided to go with my favorite color as part of the OOTD, cobalt! I paired a pink maxi skirt with my “I am a woman of God” cobalt tee that I cropped on my own. I also decided to color my nails in SinfulColors “Endless Blue”. Love it!
As for my hair I haven’t yet loosed my curly fro at work so it’s pretty much become my go to style on the weekend. Today was no exception. Here are some pics
Yep! Pretty much made my week. What a surprise it was to spot myself on Essence.com! Two of my Instagram posts made the cut for their EssenceHair page. You can check them out here along with some other great naturalistas.
Shout out to this great publication for keeping pace with the natural hair movement.
Hi beauties!
I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I wanted to do a post about my staple beauty products. These are the products I use pretty much on an every day basis that I’m really loving right now.
Maybelline Dream a Liquid Mousse
This is my foundation preference lately. It provides great coverage and isn’t really heavy.
L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
After about two coats this waterproof mascara really gives me great length and volume.
BH Cosmetics 26 Color Neutral Eyeshadow & Blush Palett
I absolutely love this palett! The colors are beautiful and so versatile. The only thing it’s missing is a contour pod.
Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeshadow Primer
My shadow really pops with this primer and stays on all day without a problem
Elf Liquid Eyeliner
This is a pretty basic liquid liner but does a great job for me.
The Multitasker Milani Face Powder
I love this product! It’s great for freshening up my face mid day.
NYX Mineral Matte Finishing Powder
If you saw my “NYX Love” post you know how much I love this stuff! Amazing
Milani Flirty Fuchsia Lipstick
Ok so I may not wear this every day but it is definitely my favorite color this summer. Very pretty!
I think that about covers it! What are some of your everyday staple beauty products?
I have been craving for a trip to Walgreens so I finally make the trip today and what do I find?! Shea Moisture products on sale by one get one free!! Unfortunately for me they were all out of the curl milk. So…I’ll be off to another Walgreens until I find it and can take advantage of this awesome sale.
After being slightly disappointed I made a stop at CVS and picked up this
NYX matte lip gloss.
I’ve been wanting to try it out and I’m glad I did. I have mixed feelings about the color but I love the concept of matte lip gloss. I’ll definitely try more colors. Here are some pics.
I’ve fallen in love! I purchased the NYX Mineral Matte Finishing Powder a couple of weeks ago and I am so glad I did. This stuff is amazing! The finish that it gives my final look is so fresh. I new I had come across something special when even my husband noticed a difference. He loves it too and he prefers a more natural look. Yep! This is definitely a new staple.
Here are some pics from today. Totally fresh faced with no filter. Sported a wash and go today too! It’s been a while since I did one. Totally forgot how much I love them.
So…Saturday night I met up with an old friend and co-worker of mine who also to my surprise lives in Atlanta!
For my outfit I paired a high-low coral dress with some black leggings a black and silver belt and my black and metallic Carlos Santana heels. I kept the hair simple with a super high bun.
We had a great time catching up and indulging in some wine and dinner at a nice spot called Twist. Unfortunately for me she’ll be moving back to NY soon to embark on a new adventure. She is fearless and inspires me so much.
