Valentine's Day...

Image
As most of you know... I do makeup tutorials on my YouTube channel... So, Valentine's Day is swiftly approaching and I wanted to create a look that I would wear on Valentines... Contrary to my usual overly colorful approach... I decided to go a little more classic for my V-Day look.... So here it is.... Just a very neutral... yet enticing ... matte brown eye.... with juicy red lips... it's verging on pin-up... well almost ... and a shopped one.... for fun... Oh, and check out my friends blog... Click! He's all smart and informative and whatnot.... He touches on a plethora of topics, so you will always be surprised...

Ok...

So this post is going to be all over the place... But you can expect a blurb about: -my hair -makeup -cost of textbooks - and maybe something else? So, let's start with my hair.... I decided it was a good idea to take my twists out... Um...Wow! I have way more new growth than I thought...it's about an inch and a half of curl... So yeah...Due to my inability to really take care of my hair in this state... or wanting to ... The twists are going to make a comeback, this weekend.... The main reason is that I don't want to fight with my hair...It took me two hours to straighten my hair yesterday...no curls... just straightening...Also since I'm stretching (probably for another 2 or 3 months)...I'm going to have a hard time maintaining the two textures.... So yeah...Here's a picture... that shows it all... click to enlarge Ok...so now to the makeup... A couple of things I've done in last couple of weeks... This is really simple...I wore

Totally Random F.O.T.N.

Image
So I wanted to play in my makeup... so I asked one of my friends to name 3 colors... She named Gold, Bronze, and Blue... Gold as a highlight, bronze on the inner corner ( no matter how pink it looks ), and shades of blue in the crease and outer 3rd.... Woop..Here it is! It's pretty random, so I'm not really going to list what's used...

What is Wrong?

Lately, I've been feeling very sexy... Like more than usual... I need to chill... I mean what the hell? What is causing this? Do y'all go through stages when you really feel like you're the hottest person to ever live? And don't give me that I feel like that everyday crap...I'm talking unusual hype-ness over yourself...

The End Of an Error...

Beginning of a Era... YES! My President! People still hating.... but it's okay... I feel like "Poppin' Champagne"

Back to School... And I was wondering...

Back to school for my final semester of undergrad! YES! Graduation is right around the corner! I'm taking 18 credits, again...plus I have a job, again... So Yeah... And I was wondering, for those of you who do visit my YouTube channel, or who like to see my looks on here... Do you all have any requests for a certain look, or application or whatever... I'm very open to requests on both looks and topics for my videos... Just thought I'd throw that out there since...I'm becoming quite boring as far as YouTube goes...

I Used To Know This Guy...

...named Chivalry Did he die? That is the question...

It has to be Me...

I'm the weird one...right?! I really don't get it.... That's all....

I've Been Thinking...

About a friend I used to have-- a lot lately... mostly cause his girlfriend is keeping him from me...I know she be deleting the emails I send to him and what not... Truth of the matter is...I really don't want your man...never did...If I did... I really could have, would've had him before he ever met you... I mean I knew him first... And he was one of my really good friends... Now she blocking...I knew something was shady when "he" started sending me random behind text messages in the middle of the night... asking what we were to each other.... Should known then, that she wasn't trying have me in his life... It prolly was her from the beginning, I should have known... I'm trying to figure out if I would be the same way if I was in her place... Dang, wonder if I'll ever get my friend back....

Why I Love Ben! && E.O.T.N.

Image
Nye, That is... So yesterday I was playing around with my Ben Nye Palette (which I love!)... And I was like "hmm, I wonder If I can get all of these colors on my eye"... Turns out (for now) I can get 8 on top and I put the other four on the bottom! So yeah... Before you judge... I wasn't really going for a super blended look....more like a pretend editorial jazz... So yeah... And my stupid lipgloss feathered, which has been happening to me lately...Maybe I need to invest in a better wax pencil for me's lips... And my eyebrows suck, they hate me lately.... And you can see my lady lip hairs...lol! quick change Eyes Ben Nye Grande Lumiere Palette L'oreal H.i.P. Cream Liner in Black Ardell Lashes and I went to see "Not Easily Broken" I really liked this movie, the quality of it really surprised me... not what I usually expect from black cinema... and I wore this look...

Let's Talk About Men...

So I was watching a video on YouTube a couple of days ago, And the guy was like "There has to be something wrong with me cause I attract..." and he finished that sentence with all these different types of undesirable females.... Well I think that there must also be something wrong with me...cause I attract [ generally, they're are a few exceptions ]: I'll include my definitions, so y'all can understand where I'm coming from, all definitions are my own opinion.... Social Deviant Men - this type of man, is constantly on the internet searching for love and friendship...they have very few friends offline and think that the internet is the place for them to be any and everything they want to be... Weirdos - [ e-weirdos ] I don't know if its the keyboard or what, but this type of man is just really e-weird...I have no choice but to believe it's not just the net, that this person is just off in real life too...[ irl weirdos ] You know I like to think that I&#

Shattered, But Not Broken...

I did a I tutorial for this look that I had done awhile back.... I'll post pictures from both occasions... Today... looks like I wiped some of the color off the inner corner... And Last Time... I think I liked it more the last time...

My 6 Favorite Lip Products...

I was tagged by Jenn to do a favorite lip product listing for my YouTube channel , and so it basically just spilled over on to here... These are a few of favorite things... these are the only lip products I really use... click to enlarge Generally in combination with each other... So they are... Wet-n-Wild Glassy Gloss in "Reflection" Ulta Lipstick in "Spice" Maybelline Forever Lipcolr in "Cherry" Maybelline Lipstick in "Wine and Roses" CoverGirl WetSlicks Lipgloss in "Pink Sequins" NYX Lipstick in "Chaos" Ha!

Finally, I'm Finished!

I started to twist my hair on Sunday.... Based on a couple videos on Youtube, and the fact that my friend did her own.... So, Yeah.... Sunday night I did like one row....Then Monday I finished the back...then on Tuesday I realized I didn't like the size of my twists...So I took all the back ones out and re-did them smaller and less bulky... I have a big head, and it took like 6 packs of (synthetic)hair [ hard to keep track cause the hair was everywhere and I had to throw like a pack away cause it got all knotted somehow, and I know i picked up a half a pack off of the floor ].... So yeah...Here are the results, and i must say I'm pleased because: (a.) I did it myself (b.)The whole thing would have only cost my 10 bucks [ compared to the 250 I payed last year to get my hair braided ] and c. it doesn't look half bad..... So YEAH! Yeah, but obviously they are no Braidshop Twists....They would be way smaller, the parts would be way smaller, but who has time for all of that? It
