Face look of the day!

So to help me and my slackin self keep up with blogging I would like to start a series called face look of the day! yay..i know. So I will be posting pics of my makeup look for the day or night look if I'm going out that night, and a list of the products I used as well. I've been thinking of doing this for a while so I have some past makeup looks from this weekend and last week to show you. Now not all of my looks will be outrageous and bursting of color...keep in mind I do have early classes so some of the looks will be neutral or very simple at times, like some black winged liner with a flawless complexion.  As I get back into the swing of things I will have updates on my going natural journey as well as a new series of my favs for the month, and nail looks...so stay tuned!

This is my new years day look. I went out to the club in NYC!

This is a neutral/gold look I did for thanksgiving...this pic was taken at the bestie's house @lifestyles of the broke and nameless

Impromptu makeup application while straightening my hair

simple neutral look w/lots of black liner and mascara for class

Just diffused my hair so I decided to do a brownish smokey eye.

After I blew my hair out..I love big hair!

The eyes up close...I did a green smokey eye...black on the lid, a forest green in the crease and a purple inner corner highlight.

Took these before I went out this past Friday.

The eyes up close. I did a purple, blue, black smokey eye with a pink inner corner highlight that I covered with pink glitter.

And you played it to the beeeaaat....

We could've had it allllllllllll........rolling in the deeeep.....you had my heart insideeeee of your hannnds...and you played it.....you played it...you played it...you played it to the beat.......

Ok....so I've been slackin' and such on giving timely updates about my lack luster life. Not that it hasn't been eventful, cuz it has, just not for the better. By no means is there a shortage of shit shows in my life. Sometimes those evil little fucks just sneak up on me outta nowhere and more than once a day - selfish little bastards never take my feelings into account, they know ::I don't have time for this shit:: [sidenote- this seems to be my newest saying for everything. I encourage you all to try it out. Works wonderfully!!]  I love that I'm sitting here acting like I have an audience, but I'll just pretend that I do and that more than two people will be reading this...including myself..ummm anyway...

Soooo I really thought that this would be a productive post, but it is proving to be pretty useless. Ok. so I'm gonna go now...kbye!! Umm be back later I guess with something more interesting.

Ahhh p.s.- Listening to Adele's 21 album...brilliant! After the first song [5th time I've played it] I decided to go brew some orange, passion fruit, and jasmine green tea cuz I thought that it was just the appropriate thing to do. Of course I started speaking in my British accent as well cuz it just felt appropriate as well. I'm doing it in this post but you can't really tell... especially since I put this at the end... sooo umm... re-read this and pretend I sound like Hermione from Harry Potter...Yup!

Going Natural.....

So lately I've been slowly transitioning to a more natural lifestyle, and this shit is hard! I started by switching out my harsh shampoo and conditioner for more natural haircare products. Now I have naturally curly hair so I specifically chose products for my hair type. I started out using Kinky Curly's shampoo knot today conditioner/leave in and the curling custard. I loved these products especially the curling custard in the summertime. It really defined my curls and kept the frizz away. I then moved onto Oyin Handmade products like juices and berries spray to "re-wet" my hair so to speak without using water. I also got the burnt sugar pomade, whipped pudding, and the shine and define serum....the names of these products sound delish and the also deliver on smell. these products smell amazing and work wonders on my hair.  They give my curls definition and movement, and leave them soft to the touch.

Having curly hair is amazing but is also annoying at times, cuz it can be downright unruly....OH THE PLIGHT OF THE CURLY HAIR...I tried to beat my hair (especially the edges) into submission by using texturizers and it worked,but it made my hair dry and didn't last that long since I was washing my hair like everyday....i know, i know...BAD...so I stopped using texturizers and washing my hair so often. Now to lay down those unruly curly edges I use olive oil organics edge control. This stuff is def the bizness...LOVE IT!

On to the Face! I have oily to combination skin that is prone to acne (Yuck!), so I'm always on the hunt for products that will obliterate my bumps. I've seen my skin suffer form using those products...over drying, peeling and dull. So now I've started using organic soap like Dr. Bronners all-one hemp and almond soap and 100% natural black African soap. It's still early to tell, but so far its working well. I'll keep you updated on the progress.  This whole natural thing is still a work in progress cuz I def still reach for the Clearasil at the site of a new outbreak...lol

I Got Packages!!!!!!!

Soooooooooooooo I am super excited right now cuz I just got 2 boxes delivered to my house.  It feels like xmas to me every time I get something delivered to my house. It's the simple things in life that bring me joy, like that carnival cruise commercial that plays that catchy tune I love. Anyway back to my boxes... I grabbed my scissors and went to work ripping the boxes apart... ok not really I just gently broke the seal on them. So inside the first box was my Zumba game that I wanted soooooo soooo badly but was sold the eff out everywhere... I know, who knew it would be that damn popular. So I immediately broke it out the box so I could try it....No lie yall it had me sweating my ass off in the first 6 min. Looks like I won't have a problem meeting my target weight.  On to the next box... I opened that and it was my panini maker. Ahhhhhhh it was love at first sight-----> Immediately ran to make a sandwich even if it was with the wrong bread (potato bread), but it was sooo good. I know this will be great for all the healthy dishes I wanna make...grilled chicken, fish, turkey burgers... I can see it now. Ok let me stop rambling on, I'm out gotta go do my nails

PSU= Greedy bastards

Psu is just a bunch of over paid scam artists in suits.  How they hell you gonna tell me I need to pay up for my courses yet you won't even let me register!!! WTF! That shit makes absolutely no fucking sense. Let me know if you would agree to this... pay me for 12 + credits first, then you can register for classes knowing that you may not have a chance in hell of getting into the classes you need. NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You know what let me try some slick shit like that in the real world and see if my ass isn't thrown in jail, and my mug shot appearing in the upper right hand corner of your television screen on the 10 o'clock news........I NEED A SHOTTTTTT!

Welcome..It's a New Year People!!!!

Welcome to my blog... I've finally decided to start using this thing.  What I will be bringing to you is my love of makeup [more like an addiction], nails, hair, anything glittery with a touch of bad ass, and my crazy life that I call shit shows. I am also focused on positivity this year... I'm trying to be more positive about things... keep in mind that I said I'm trying... I'm not perfect people!!!!!! So I hope u enjoy and stay tuned.
