<br />
Hey loves! So today's look features a beautiful purple from the plum loose eyeshadow ornament from the MAC Holiday collection. All of these are sooooo pretty and highly pigmented (and such a steal for the price!). This is a quick (like seriously FAST) look that's great for a pop of color during the holiday season...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Eyes => Carbon, plum pigment (MAC Holiday) and MSF in Dark as highlight. Engraved e/l in waterline. See. That simple. lol I later added Filament e/s as a highlight so that's an option if you prefer a little more holiday sparkle :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Face => Peachykeen blush, Blunt for contour. I also later added Honor blush as a highlight, also for a little more shimmer!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lips=> Fresh brew l/s, Instant gold l/g</div><br />

I took out my weave to give my hair a break and I get more in love with natural hair every time! The biggest problem is that even with all the vids/resources available I still find that I truly have NO idea of what to do with it. But I guess that'll come in time when I spend more time out of weaves and figure out what works for me. I laughed so hard because a lady actually asked me which ponytail piece I had in my hair because it looked so "real" :) Well maam that's because it is! Lol all's well over here. I'm seriously slacking on Christmas shopping so I have to get around to it soooon! The only thing I reaaaaaally want is a train case or zuca for makeup and Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy and Gucci Guilty fragrances! (I'll probably treat myself) What's on your list this year?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Heyyy :) So I had decided to repaint my nails and I wanted to try something a little different that was also fun. I don't usually wear designs on every finger but I have to say I really like the change because it really does symbolize nail ART! For these nails I used a hot pink, black, and silver glitter nail polishes (all from my mother's collection) along with Seche Vite as a topcoat. Here's the look...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did each nail on the whim and overall I like it and I think I'll continue to experiment with my nails.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1nkuex4jV-TbB8NIsh2tf5pK_XtdvE32nwTJ9kNkUC3QcXd_1j0Bu8MzWVGVDWt22K59PnEfmYB9siO8Ojo7d2DQdl6Z8m6Z3hVZpY0uckTjOSlDHuHu8n4MgxQvxxszVqEL2Ayoda0/s1600/1320813713-picsay-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1nkuex4jV-TbB8NIsh2tf5pK_XtdvE32nwTJ9kNkUC3QcXd_1j0Bu8MzWVGVDWt22K59PnEfmYB9siO8Ojo7d2DQdl6Z8m6Z3hVZpY0uckTjOSlDHuHu8n4MgxQvxxszVqEL2Ayoda0/s320/1320813713-picsay-1.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>My faveeeee is the leopard print pinky (of course! Lol) But really these are eye catching colors in general. I like gaudy things so I'm not surprised that I have been reeled into these nails. I love feeling different and knowing that no one has the EXACT same anything as you. I know where I live actual nail art is becoming increasingly popular. S/N: Does anybody watch BBWLA?! I was just catching up on some episodes I missed and Jackie is soooo funny/crazyyyy Lol OMGGG. I just had to add that yall. But back to topic, how do you loves wear your nails? All solids or mix it up? I wanna know! :)</div><div><br />

<br />
So, if you know I am a <strike>crazed </strike>die-hard Eagles fan. This week I was lucky enough to be in attendance at Monday night's football game. So if you saw it, you know we lost. *tears* But I had a blast at the game and of course yall know my makeup had to be celebratory!!! Here's the look...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQjo7p24uCQdZ6fqytbKSBsp8JZMNnepVkgdFCXQUZerrUID4Ow6hmOCZJRVzm_wHpPAQWPOSCP75bh3vk4I4bAERJ03TMdtjYPdpzu7kqwEkbSPhPBbANyp69WnllGCdKWARgrKIqo4/s1600/1320812712-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQjo7p24uCQdZ6fqytbKSBsp8JZMNnepVkgdFCXQUZerrUID4Ow6hmOCZJRVzm_wHpPAQWPOSCP75bh3vk4I4bAERJ03TMdtjYPdpzu7kqwEkbSPhPBbANyp69WnllGCdKWARgrKIqo4/s640/1320812712-picsay.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For this look I used the same green from the first Eagles look from my 120 palette, and Hocus Pocus e/s from MAC. This picture doesn't really show it, but I used 3 glitta liners on this eye. A forest green one on my upper lashline, silver on my lower eyeline (towards the front) and a apple green one towards the end of the lower lashline. This gave it an amazing dimensional glitta thang in person! The eyes could've been neater but I overslept and was in a rush to get dressed. I used Brave New Bronze l/s, Cork l/l and Instant Gold l/g on my lips, and La Femme Blush in Redwood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99jNSv8Q28nB9wjK1Hm_BpLnS6-Ec-qVWUoo-mGbFbhra5s1_rpZ1RXikeHGiFo4Ssu65md-1tDsjHNlZphliO6N44Thq6rh2bz3NmoDp0uYZxApbOI08dH_9SF5m-QL0RYGLV73AoSA/s1600/1320713490-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99jNSv8Q28nB9wjK1Hm_BpLnS6-Ec-qVWUoo-mGbFbhra5s1_rpZ1RXikeHGiFo4Ssu65md-1tDsjHNlZphliO6N44Thq6rh2bz3NmoDp0uYZxApbOI08dH_9SF5m-QL0RYGLV73AoSA/s640/1320713490-picsay.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Soooooo even though my boys lost I know we'll be back! And can yall see how OBSESSED I am with these glitter liners?!!! No such thing as too much glitter! (Unless its "Kesha style") LOL. Also, I got a chance to see Puss in Boots 3D and I lovedddddddd it!!! :) In case you noticed I am also wearing new hair. It's some Virgin Brazilian natural wavy that I ordered from a Chinese vendor. I'll do a post on it once I wear it for a while but right now its loveee! How was your weekend?<br />

<br />
So I ordered some new hair and I absolutely could not standdddd to keep my previous hair in so I needed something quick and cheap to hold me over. I had brought this wig before my install so it was perfect. I believe I paid 24.99 for it at my local beauty supply.<br />

I don't usually wear my curly weaves long but she is gorgeous!!! I did chop about an inch or two off of the ends but the length still doesn't bother me. This has such a pretty curl pattern and I like curly weaves (synthethic) because they tend to have a longer life span than straight ones. It's easy to maintain with water and I use my Remington curling wand to curl my leave out. The wig is synthetic so it will burn baby, burn! Lol All in all this is a nice buy and I'll definitely be buying her in the future. S/N: I am totally on my "vamp" lips for fall! I've been wearing dark lips almost everyday! Lovessss them! What do you loves think?<br />

I have a few other BIG things coming up that I'm excited for. I also have some makeup posts that I was saving for this moment and they feature an interesting spin on interview <strike>appropriate</strike> makeup so stay tuned for that =) Also, I finally picked up a halloween costume (sexy in fashion, of course lol) and I'm thinking of some makeup ideas to later do a post and COTD (Costume of the Day lol!) .

<div><br />
</div><div>So this is another halloween post. Once again, everything used was eyeshadows and they were all from the 120 palette. A black pencil liner was used to outline. This look is great for someone who wants to attempt to try their hand at a makeup face mask :)</div><div><br />

</div><div>Lol, you know this is throwback because I had blonde-y hair you guys! haha. I really think the red lip and lashes are what help sets this look off.

I have some makeup looks that I previously did and also some that I plan on doing so I said I'd do a few halloween posts since I now have a blog. So that is the reasoning behind why there may be different hairstyles and whatnot going on lol This look in particular is for someone who's looking to do something that's scary, yet sexy. It'll be way too much for me to list products for these upcoming looks (sowwwwry) because they take so many but I can assure you that ALL products for this particular look consisted of eyeshadows and I also used a black gel liner. Here's the look...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When I saw that MM quote it inspired this look. I don't typically post my more creative looks on here but halloween is the perfect time to do so so I hope you loves enjoy! This would be especially easy for a costume because since the face is already doing so much I would honestly just throw on a black catsuit/jumper and boots (or heels to seeex it up :) and you're good to go!<br />

<br />
Yall know I love a bold red lip, and for me it doesn't get much better than Russian Red for that category.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNAyUxiqHHtXNxoIEYHIEce2Lc9swKUjz6Tbl9fuTOboO-f5XVSYK4o1P1Ch2szNh6gj_s6rV0IC2ZdDkTAeBsdFsfmwBNeLehZQSEMLz9l3XM2hhdOO-CHLHyKeOEBO9LkZ5alsGDfw/s1600/Snapshot_20110301_24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZNAyUxiqHHtXNxoIEYHIEce2Lc9swKUjz6Tbl9fuTOboO-f5XVSYK4o1P1Ch2szNh6gj_s6rV0IC2ZdDkTAeBsdFsfmwBNeLehZQSEMLz9l3XM2hhdOO-CHLHyKeOEBO9LkZ5alsGDfw/s640/Snapshot_20110301_24.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
THE GOOD: Easy to apply, I've heard that other reds like Ruby Woo apply like crayons but this isn't the case here. A pro for me is that it's matte, as I'm not of fan of lustre looking red lipsticks. This doesn't feather and doesn't absolutely need a lipliner. The staying power on this is AH-MAY-ZING! I'm almost sure I wore it several times for 6+ hours without reapplying<br />
or significant fading. And most important. It makes your teeth look WHITEEEEE. Like I mean, mine aren't yellow or anything but anyone should be able to appreciate an instant teeth brightener in a small tube, yes? :)<br />
<br />
THE QUESTIONABLE: It's a matte. For some people that's a con because it's drying. But almost all mattes are drying, ok? Ok.<br />
<br />

<br />
So yet another one of my sudden disappearances is contributed to a hospital stay :( But now that I'm home and chained to the bed for a week or so the only thing on my agenda is to catch up with school work so I thought I'd do a post. If you've been following me for a while you'd know that my favoriteeeeee lashes ever are MAC #2 but I'd had an extreme issue finding them at local stores and counters so I decided to try #3. They look very similar to #2 except they're shorter and more natural looking (as natural as fake lashes go lol). I'm still loyal to my #2's, but mainly because as long as these are, I prefer longer! I thought I'd post because these are a solid replacement and may better equip those don't like the "<strike>drag </strike>queen lash". I've been using a different adhesive for a while so I'll also post on that later this week. Here's the lash...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Very pretty! I love that false lashes provide fullness and shape to any look and besides my eyebrow pencils and lipsticks would have to be my favorite item! Lashes aren't necessarily essentials but are pretty darn nice to have! Tell me your favorite lash in the comments if you have one! Hope you've all been well and stay tuned for some more posts this week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I bought this a while ago when I was visiting NY. I fell in LOVE with the color, as a true purple-y lilac-y shade is very hard to come across.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvN8nYdFJTW6OGywnGh6ZakeU3RWu2T-nDh4DbNV1vZnaql2LRMBz5Ucszdrqm8fkNO_pIx4AxYzgovdxv5J1abqyPqY8cWFbXFPa5MIvreTz4i1VFCRCPidqg8IZh4lEJUAnMK4DT3EM/s1600/Snapshot_20110315_18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvN8nYdFJTW6OGywnGh6ZakeU3RWu2T-nDh4DbNV1vZnaql2LRMBz5Ucszdrqm8fkNO_pIx4AxYzgovdxv5J1abqyPqY8cWFbXFPa5MIvreTz4i1VFCRCPidqg8IZh4lEJUAnMK4DT3EM/s400/Snapshot_20110315_18.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">PROS: Beautiful color, applies well, slightly buidable, feels smooth and moisturizing on lips</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">CONS: Such a smooth lipstick that it feels like it'll melt on a hot day (or in your purse) or easily break if pressed even slightly hard. I kept mine in the fridge all summer. The biggest issue is that it is not long lasting at ALL. I constantly found myself applying then reapplying not too long after. The subsequent issue to that is that this is as it is called a SLIM STICK so with all the reapplications that it takes it eats up so much of the lippie in such a short amount of time it definitely left me wondering if it was worth the $12 price tag. And I don't like to worry about my lipsticks running out after a few uses ya know?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">With that being said, I later got my hands on MAC's Go For It (LE) but for what would've been an extra $2 or so you're getting basically the same color with a lot more staying power. How'd I rate? *drumrolls* </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/3879074737_6aec3b374a-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/3879074737_6aec3b374a-2.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mostly because I'm out here on a budget tryna get my $$$ worth! Yadaaaamean???! As much as I love the color I cannot justify this as a $12 plus 8.25% tax percentage purchase! lol Tried any Inglot lipsticks? What was your experience?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'll generally watch any games that are on but I only go hard for the big boys E-A-G-L-E-S!!! When I'm not wearing any Eagles related paraphernalia during games you can almost bet I'll have some green painted on my face! Yesterday I decided to do a Eagles inspired cut-crease in honor of my boys 1st regular season game. The Eagles green is actually more of a teal-ish blue green so I grabbed some colors from my 120 palette (AGAIN! lol) The look..<br />

<br />
Maybe a few months ago I mentioned that I bought (or wanted to get) MAC's Ravishing lipstick. I did end up getting it and I love it! It's a cremesheen formula so it goes on pretty nicely (although not as great as my other CS) but any flaws in the lipstick can be concealed by placing a gloss on top.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This lippie does have strong coral undertones but I'm wearing it here with MAC's Fulfilled plushglass which pushes it slightly pinkish :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhuwW4IGfwVde2rYS9TXRJeQfctW8TQMZglHV_4VEr1XldMwaFEoNZryJU6vnzVoSnLRCp561-RK97K9a-13dkd1n9UMhE3O8FkWwML91cdSPJJ1RssSPYNhHo9jPr81vyVOgioSWz_4/s1600/1314459976-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhuwW4IGfwVde2rYS9TXRJeQfctW8TQMZglHV_4VEr1XldMwaFEoNZryJU6vnzVoSnLRCp561-RK97K9a-13dkd1n9UMhE3O8FkWwML91cdSPJJ1RssSPYNhHo9jPr81vyVOgioSWz_4/s400/1314459976-picsay.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I think this is a great coral-y pink that can be worn with a wide range of looks. It wears on an average of 3-4 hours for me. Pros to this lipstick is that it is easily buildable for a lighter or more vibrant flush of color AND I can wear this shade without a lipliner (or gloss!). The only con for me is that I do find it extremely drying and exfoliated lips are a MUST for this! I would have to compare the color to a toned down Vegas Volt (One of my favvvvs). Rating? *drumrolls*<br />

What do you think? Have any of you cupcakes tried this shade?<br />

Today was a good day. I found my "lost" eyebrow pencil and I got some great deals while out shopping. Inspiration is a great thing. I guess the randomness of this look is pretty good because Halloween is coming and this is an EXCELLENT look if you plan on dressing like "Eve" (as in Adam and not the rapper lol) or maybe a vamped up "Poison Ivy". If you haven't heard Frank Ocean check him out ASAP!<br />

I definitely noticed that what may tone this lippie down is that it has such strong fuschia base. I applied by outlining with a lip brush and before filling in with the lipstick it definitely looked like I was wearing a pink. Anywho's its a satin finish (one of my least favorite finishes) but in my opinion it applies better and with a way more moisturized feel than the typical satins.<br />

I believe this lippie wore for roughly 4 hours. It has a natural shine to it, but I topped it with Revealing l/g for a glossier finish. I like it. Very wearable for a range of skin tones. What's your favorite red lip?</div>

Mostly the sky was angry gray tho :( For this look I used my neutral Inglot palette and Wet n Wild's Greed palette (love!) It was so weird having hurricane warnings around here as I'm really not used to it and luckily it did not hit as hard as expected and all the people I know in and around the area were safe. Now, onto the makeup...<br />

Anywhos, I hope everyone is safe and sound and those of yall with that good good weather had a great weekend! School starts tomorrow and I can't believe summer is over! Wow! :( Lol<br />

<br />
So I went downtown yesterday to hit the MAC store and I ended up grabbing a few things. I mean, all I went in there for was this holy grail smack ya momma 226 brush and I came out with a lot more. Here's what I got and keep reading for my initial impressions...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVS8mKeVGUj6x1vjVhHXAjnaua9kn79VEOzBT6JhHyKhJepDgdDSv5nuEbzo9ZV_CoV02MogRXXyh-M7JUOOUOLmAAH92Iw6KrbdOG_4ELb9bS9AOdPPa2lhnpC5jsGY8r5af-A4ZI9xE/s1600/IMAG1950+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVS8mKeVGUj6x1vjVhHXAjnaua9kn79VEOzBT6JhHyKhJepDgdDSv5nuEbzo9ZV_CoV02MogRXXyh-M7JUOOUOLmAAH92Iw6KrbdOG_4ELb9bS9AOdPPa2lhnpC5jsGY8r5af-A4ZI9xE/s640/IMAG1950+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What did I grab?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Studio Tech foundation in NW45 => Now, I mentioned that I switched up foundations in my last post but I recently returned that studio tech (which was a nw47) for nw45 because I felt like it was just slightly too dark. One of those things that nobody notices but you and you don't feel right until you fix it! Lol, this color matches perfect so hopefully its a keeper!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Studio Sculpt concealer in NW45 => I had previously been using MAC's Studio finish concealer (also in nw45) which I ended up disliking after a while but I forced myself to use because I'm cheap. I finally hit pan and I thought it was about time I stopped torturing myself so I picked this one up. Although its the same color the sculpt is lighter than the finish and does not give off that yellow-y cast that I felt the finish did for my skin. I had the MA apply it in store and it looked lovely!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Instant Gold Lustreglass => If I pick up any MAC shades, I typically will only buy very pigmented original shades that I feel can't be/I wouldn't want to try to dupe but when it comes to gloss I focus on ones that can be worn over multiple colors. And I think I have found my HG. No swatches could do this lustreglass any justice I mean it gives you so much shine on its own and is also extremely flattering for nudes and other colors from a layering standpoint. Plus it has gold specks, my fave!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Eyebrow pencil in Stud => This is one of my must have things as I generally hate to leave the house without my eyebrows being done. I used to use Spiked but Stud is slightly darker and I feel that it allows my brows to look more defined with less strokes. They're kinda pricey but I recommend these pencils to anyone because they're long-lasting in terms of application and usage. I mentioned that I bought one maybe a month ago but that one went "missing" a few days ago so I had to get a new one, that's how much of a must have it is for me!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Runaway Red lipstick => I told myself I would NOT dare try on another red due to the large number I have in my collection now but I couldn't resist. I tried it on and it just looks PERFECT. Really. The main thing that attracted me to this color was that although its red, its very low key compared to my other reds which are really bold. This is a nice Toni Childs (for all my Girlfriend watchers out there) red and is perfect for a bold fall lip that looks effortless without trying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">226 Brush => Okay, so I fell into the hype. I mean, any person with a small eyelid space such as mine could see the benefit of having a mini 224. After buying, I saw that a lot of people were complaining about how this re-release is not as tapered as the original ones. I went through all the ones in my store and NONE of them were tapered, they all looked like the pic below which is cool with me. I'm pretty sure with the long term use of a brush guard one could get more of a "pointy" shape out of this brush.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu9PhmiXH1Q1ejk-6GASI2dsGOKFq4inI30qd6pIVgP6_g24EN0YUCv1gBdRVnH9_XQb1L-2zVAHm2lwFjMGPOnvzpPqxPMhQJwKvH5v3q3rJhgkiUlY6HNyCbPjR9YJEC9Xs1IEJc-_Y/s1600/IMAG1952.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu9PhmiXH1Q1ejk-6GASI2dsGOKFq4inI30qd6pIVgP6_g24EN0YUCv1gBdRVnH9_XQb1L-2zVAHm2lwFjMGPOnvzpPqxPMhQJwKvH5v3q3rJhgkiUlY6HNyCbPjR9YJEC9Xs1IEJc-_Y/s640/IMAG1952.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I was slightly disappointed with the MAC Me over collection. There's so much chaos behind the brush not looking like the original that I even contemplated returning it, but I realized that for me it still serves its purpose of being a small blending brush. Out of the lipsticks that I swatched, Runaway Red was the only one that I felt like was a must-have because I think it'll look great on almost any skin tone and will satisfy both who love bright as well as muted colors. Also when I swatched Smoked Purple looked extremely similar to Cyber and Peachstock to Lady Gaga 2... I found the lipglasses to be even more stickier than usual and the only one I was interested in purchasing (Social light) when put on my lips really didn't look like much at all. The eyeshadows I really liked but didn't purchase any (no particular reason why) with my favorite being 'Outre'. Did you guys pick anything up from the collection? What are your thoughts?</div><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>So, I've been MIA but for good reason! I've been sick for what felt like forever. This summer has been a terrible one for me health-wise and it made it extremely difficult for me to even enjoy most of it. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm trying to make the best out of the little time I have left before school begins again :) Sooooo, I'm finally blogging (yayyy!) and I'm doing a natural hair post this time. The last thing I believe I blogged about was the Choco-Indi Remi hair I had in which I took out after 2 months and will be doing a review on VERRRY soon! As I said before, BOTH my cell phone and regular cameras were broke, but I finally got my cell phone one to work well enough to snap a few photos for yall. I even tracked down a big chop photo that I've been promising to post since forever. (I know madness! lol) Well, here it goes...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/baldie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/baldie.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So some of these are candid lol, but hey it's better than nothing... :)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/PUFF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/PUFF.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some of my puff progress. And drumroll please...</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/final.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
So yeah, it's crazy how fast time flew. One minute I'm bald and the next... haha! I never took myself for the big chop type of girl but all in all I love my natural hair and I wouldn't change a thing about deciding to end my sad love affair with relaxers. I look forward to the continuing growth and health of my hair. I don't have any specific goals, I just want a shitload of hair! Lol. Sorry it took so long for this post and I'll be getting some more up soon!<br />
<br />

So I've been super busy still always feeling like I'm neglecting the blog but my camera wont charge anymore and my phone camera acts bipolar so that adds to the trouble. As I said in one of my previous posts, I had bought a few items from the MAC Blogger collection. Today's look includes Hocus Pocus, which is a shade that I don't find extremely original, but I actually quite love. It helps me achieve an everyday smokiness to any eye that is not overpowering and easily compliments other colors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/1311040142-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/sholiver/1311040142-picsay.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The glitter you may see above is not a part of the eyeshadow, I dabbed a bit of MAC's reflect gold to give it a little spunk :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I really like this look because it was QUICK to do! Like really one eyeshadow for a complete look lol I can see myself wearing this on the go during the school year for early morning classes or something. I do feel it may fall a little flat without me adding the glitter...It's currently sold out but if you were able to grab one of these let me know how you like it! I was on my way to the mall in this look. I've been shopping a lot so maybe I'll do some quickie hauls for goodies I've found :) Hope you loves have been well!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It's not my year natural because I've still been too lazy to compile the photos (soon! Lol) I heard that JW eyeshadow will be restocked soon so I wanted to put up a look to help people see he true color and whether its worth them tryna catch or not. As I stated before, I was disappointed in the color because I wanted it to be some beautiful green but it swatched heavily blue on me. I gave up trying to make it green and just went blue. See...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xlLDi1pEpBqeVphK29yMTJ_fDbB7ZlkN9phgi2Al_O4PfQsilK6IrYP94Ubox_FwjX2M7HVTg6rETRGqVECgeq5X26uWnTJcgKlUH6lD2CXAloRgX7nPIJFeDameezYErX_7czuzhaA/s1600/1309577997-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xlLDi1pEpBqeVphK29yMTJ_fDbB7ZlkN9phgi2Al_O4PfQsilK6IrYP94Ubox_FwjX2M7HVTg6rETRGqVECgeq5X26uWnTJcgKlUH6lD2CXAloRgX7nPIJFeDameezYErX_7czuzhaA/s640/1309577997-picsay.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>After wearing it</i>, I must say that although it is still blue I quite enjoy the texture and shade. Would I still have bought it? Eh, probably not but only because I have a million blue shadows. This one is still quite original and at times look greeny and overall reminds me if a mermaid :) All in all I'd say if you're into blues pick this one up because its truly a gorgeous shade!</div><br />

<i>As for the hair</i>, I did a sew-in using ChocoIndi Remy hair in 18 and 14 inch packs. I love the packaging of most remy hair, it's always so chic and cute (as it should be for the price! lol)<br />
<br />

The hair is 100% virgin Indian hair and is also wet & wavy. I installed about a week ago and I wanted to show you guys but I'll keep off on commenting on the quality of the hair until I've worn it maybe another 2 weeks or so, so stay tuned for that post. I'm currently wearing it bone straight but I threw in some loose curls today to shake it up. Here's the hair...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSE1jkEkbXtQy_UEzSK1RvyniTxTrZOWFS6L-7BoBGlDeVAFj2dJviFFc_ZYLjA9k9_03gCheguiwaxN7RfTzofa5x83_72AD5mpD3IAAUPwS-Z2ImpUgfhX1RcMwVtujxRE9-LmvX9cQ/s1600/1309564529-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSE1jkEkbXtQy_UEzSK1RvyniTxTrZOWFS6L-7BoBGlDeVAFj2dJviFFc_ZYLjA9k9_03gCheguiwaxN7RfTzofa5x83_72AD5mpD3IAAUPwS-Z2ImpUgfhX1RcMwVtujxRE9-LmvX9cQ/s640/1309564529-picsay.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><br />
In my previous sew-ins I typically use Bobbi Boss Indi Remi which I adore, but I'm always open to new brands. The 18 inch was $150/pack and the 14 was $130 (I think? Somewhere around there..) But there still are various places that give deals if you can find them. Definitely more posts to come on this hair and I'll answer any questions if you have them! In other news, I just got acrylic nails put on and my nails are soreeeee! I typically put a hot rag to ease some of the tenderness. Does this happen to anyone else who gets fake nails?<br />

As most of you know MAC came out with a Blogger's Collection that consists of 5 lipglasses and 4 eyeshadows from various bloggers that were chosen out of many. Well today, one part of my shipment arrived and it was Christine's (Temptalia) Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow. I was extremely excited as this was the 2nd most wanted thing on my list from the collection, my first being All of My Purple Life lipglass, and I also ordered Hocus Pocus in a seperate shipment that should arrive soon as well. This eyeshadow quickly sold out from off the website (Surprise surprise! lol) but it may be available again at some point over the course of the 6 weeks the collection is available so I wanted to give swatches!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0hZ8Tqj0pGXxZLkHAd5OI9OkfZpxlV69PuHVNx5aBgS-izHR9s6xSJJUbYhv3vDWet1S1G4WHLnewW5JZbmYo-GN7A9Zx-XNzvpnMwjpy8YUnOTZmG_UWqy5Z8a1Tiet6uEuOagL4UdI/s1600/1308959549-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0hZ8Tqj0pGXxZLkHAd5OI9OkfZpxlV69PuHVNx5aBgS-izHR9s6xSJJUbYhv3vDWet1S1G4WHLnewW5JZbmYo-GN7A9Zx-XNzvpnMwjpy8YUnOTZmG_UWqy5Z8a1Tiet6uEuOagL4UdI/s640/1308959549-picsay.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Jealousy Wakes is extremely pigmented and a beautiful color, however (yeaaaaa yall knew this was coming) I am extremely disappointed with the actual color. I was expecting some fantastic looking green similar to the pot, but once swatched/worn it comes off more blue than anything. I mean its called jealousy wakes dammit I feel like such a bomb title deserves an amazing OBVIOUS green not a blue that kinda looks green every now and then. WHOMP WHOMP. Here are the swatches...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3G5_yGUPycskUWA82G5o3K_qTkVhzIH8sXUJPLXbFi93hvSKEFn4kOasNmZi93jIVSWrLsiVkmK8JLsjqELL1eceUSR9S9DTWyAnF5OTLn02RaV4olGMyB6Ot2LHGsa6aMRLN9nSXpJU/s1600/1308959474-picsay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3G5_yGUPycskUWA82G5o3K_qTkVhzIH8sXUJPLXbFi93hvSKEFn4kOasNmZi93jIVSWrLsiVkmK8JLsjqELL1eceUSR9S9DTWyAnF5OTLn02RaV4olGMyB6Ot2LHGsa6aMRLN9nSXpJU/s640/1308959474-picsay.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> With that being said I still look forward to doing an actual full application with this color to see if it makes me a believer. I personally really enjoyed and appreciated the immense amount of background theory and effort that the bloggers put into developing their own product and I hope I am more pleased when my other purchases arrive so look out for updates :) Did you loves get anything from this collection? Do you think I'm absolutely crazy and love this shade of blue maybe green? LMK! lol<br />

So I haven't posted in forever but I've been dealing with being hardcore fake busy/lazy and also I've been stalling posts since my face has been breaking out from the heat. I did have a quick weave that I wanted to share and its Outre's Evony. I got her from my local BSS for $23 after I went on a binge looking for some true "dee-vuh hurr" and she is it! I cut her a lot because I had to make her work appropriate but she is full, very curly, light and no fuss. She does need product after being worn for about a week and I just used water and some type of curly spray. I got lots of compliments and later found out that she is also all the rave amongst YouTubers. I found her extremely easy to blend with my natural hair and she can be worn in a variety of styles that include pulled up in the middle or side(s) or side bang, etc. Im going to try to have at least a few more posts this week and I hit my one year natural last week (yayyyy!) I'll try to post on that!! I'm blogging from my phone so I can only upload one pic but I may come back and upload a few more so you can get a better look at the hair. Overall, I'd give this half wig a 4/5 since you do have to work with it quite a bit to get a desired look. However, if you're looking for fun, big flirty hair then she's for you :) <br />
<br />
What products do you loved use to keep you skin clean and oil free during the summer? <br />

<br />
I have to say these are one of my favorite pair of wedges probably ever! I went shopping with my mom and she was looking at me as if I was crazy like girl you gon walk around all day in DEM? Lol, YES! They are soooo comfortable and I wore them all day with no type of troubles or bothers. Yeah, I'm that girl who buys pretty much anything with leopard print on it so of course last summer when I saw these I almost died, they were must haves for my closet! The fit around the straps itself is a little loose but its easy to get adjusted to. Sometimes its nice to know you can be comfortable AND stylish! Have you loves come by any great shoe deals lately? Always on the hunt for my stash! Lol<br />
