Hello Luvahs! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday! Today is the day we celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior-- Jesus Christ! Please let the light of the lord shine in You, be grateful for not only the presents a food and family, but also for the wonders the Lord has made... Merry Christmas, Baby!  Also... Here is a potential New Years Look... Maybe a New Years tut will be up this year... follow me on Twitter @VivaLaLuminary

ugh... yes I know it's been so long... I've been away for a while, mostly because I've been working a lot, and secondly my camera was on life support... But luckily, I was blessed enough to have a little bit of extra funds in my check to buy a new one... So yea, yesterday was Halloween... I went as a Rockstar/Rihanna (if you ask my father...) but mostly just a rockstar... Here are pics... I used my Mehron Pastel Palette for the pink section of my face, covered that with Ben Nye's Azalea, outlined it with my Milani Blackened Teal Double Ended liner. For the eyes I used Ben Nye's Ice (lid), Amethyst,(crease) Cosmic Blue (crease), Iced Gold (highlight) and Urban Decay's Perversion (cut crease). Cheeks are BN Azalea (right), and BN Cosmic Blue & Amethyst (left) My lips were outlined in black and then filled in with Maybelline's Wine and roses...  but then I ate... and the lips were gone... meh.. obligatory edited pic...

So I was reading my InStyle mag when I stumbled across this awesome pair of shoes... So awesome in fact... they begged me to do a look using them as inspiration... These are the shoes... Turquoise & Magenta Peep Toe Pumps... Ahh... I die a little every time I look at them... Anyways... Here's the look... ha! mid-blink silliness... The tut for this will be up shortly... Check my YT .. Also...I'm becoming like uninspired... So If you guys want to see a specific look... Holla! I NEED IDEAS!   'til next time...

So yeah basically I've been totally slacking on the blog... And the whole purpose of this blog was to get my feelings out when I need to, show off my ever-improving makeup skills, grow out my hair, talk about clothes and crap....and just essentially do me... So y'all know I've been working hard and thus my blogging has been almost non-existent since like mid April...  So anyways... Here are a few random topics mashed together... Let's start with hair... I am currently 16 weeks post relaxer (my last relax was on Feb. 07, 2010)... and I plan to relax again on June 13, 2010 @ 18 weeks... So yeah... here's a picture of my actual length, and I'll be happy to point out my problem areas... OK... things I need to work on... 1. Better end maintenance, they are just a little see thru... nothing a few trims over the next couple of months can't fix... 2. The hair on the right side of my hair seems to get less attention thus, the retarded short pieces... now back i...

Ok... So I haven't been able to post since February 4th 2010... Why? Because as most of you know... The eastcoast got totally dumped on by about 30+ inches of snow... I live in Baltimore Md... So we kinda got a lot... To my thigh... finally the sun came out... fricking 4+ft snow drifts... y'all know about my love of ice... mo' snow... ---------------------------------------------- I finally relaxed my hair after 17 weeks... My mom trimmed about an inch off... The ends were shot... gotta do better... So back to grazing APL... -------------------------------------------------- Boredom makes me creative...
