Red Ombré Lips

2 Comments

Hi luvs!

Yesterday I decided to go with a bold look starring red ombré lips. I seriously adore this look and used just two products to achieve it.  A black pencil by Black Radiance and Wet ‘n Wild Megalast lipstick in the color Red My Mind. 

  
I lined my lips in the black pencil and applied the red Lippie to the center of my lips. Blended the two together and voila! What’s even better is that it stayed on ALL day! The Megalast lippies are matte with some true staying power. Here are some pics.

   
  
 That’s it for now!
XOXO,

SCANDA-LICIOUS

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:

  1. Pure-licious Co-wash
  2. Butter-licious Curls Curl Hydrating Creme
  3. Twirling Custard Curl Styling Gel
  4. 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

  1. Jordan Blue Devine Pencil (which is really an eye liner but worked perfectly on my lips)
  2. 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

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?

The Pink Pout Takeover

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

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.

Purple, Boots & Blowout

2 Comments

Happy Saturday!

Hope you guys are having a great weekend.

I very rarely apply heat to my hair but today I decided to blow out my hair. I started with dry hair. I used Cream Of Nature’s Aragan Oil leave-in Conditioner and I also used Cantu’s Daily Moisturizer as a heat protectant. I sectioned my hair into 4 and applied the leave-in followed by the moisturizer and blew each section on low heat.

In the mood for some deep dark hues I thought I’d pull out the perfect fall color, purple and pair it up with my flat black lace up boots! The lips are Pagan Angel from Fergie’s Wet N’ Wild line.

Here are some pics
