Jones in my Bones

One of my favorite movies is Love Jones! I’m not sure, but I think that the poem that Lorenz Tate uses to seduce Nia Long sold me. Well naturally, after the poem, my focus was mostly on the brown lip combo that Nia Long wore throughout the movie. It is my favorite, because it added a lot of depth and mystery to her character. Therefore, I recreated the lip and paired it with a brown smoky copper eye.

First, I started by applying an eyeshadow primer (E.L.F.-sheer) and an eyeshadow base (NYX-White) all over the lid and up into the crease. Then I applied Oktoberfest (C.S. Hot Pots) above and into the crease. After I blended the color and achieved the pigmentation I desired, I added C.S. Wild Raisin to the crease and blended it into the Oktoberfest. Once all the eyeshadows were blended, I added C.S. Copper Pot to the lid. In order to open my eyes, I applied C.S. Lemon Chiffon to the inner corners of my eyes. Finally, I applied my usual winged eyeliner and Stardell lashes in #113.  For the face, I only applied a small amount of MAC MSF and E.L.F. bronzers.

Now on to the main focus, the lips. Using KleanColor lip liner in Expresso, I outlined and filled in my lips halfway. Then I applied E.L.F.s Tea Rose matte lipstick all over to blend out the harshness of the lip pencil. Lastly, I applied Wet n’ Wild’s Bare It All to the center of the lips to achieve somewhat of an ombre' effect.

I hope you enjoy this look. PLEASE comment and subscribe to my blog! See you guys next time! 

                                   

Review: ShopmissA.com

How often is it that you get 100% human eyelashes, jewelry, lipsticks and many other fabulous things for $1? *Pause I’ll wait* Yep, not very often. So when I heard about ShopMissA. Com, I had to place an order. The shipping was fast and everything I received was great quality. I ordered mostly cosmetics, of course, and EYELASHES galore! I've placed three orders with them and haven’t been disappointed thus far. All the products on the website are great stocking stuffers and Secret Santa gifts for the holidays. Below, I decided to swatch lip liners and lipsticks from my latest purchase. I really love everything I've gotten and will continue to purchase from them as long as it remains $1. HAHA!

Winter Berry on the ROCKS

Do you have a color that you love so much, you basically live for it? Well apparently I do because majority of my makeup blogs contains purple! Yikes! Then again, purple is the color of royalty. Anyway, I was inspired by the winter berry ornaments that are put out each Christmas season. They are made in a variety of colors, but my favorites are the purple berries with imitation snow and glitter on them.  I was so excited when I saw the berries that I decided to create this look and call it Winter Berry on the Rocks because of the glitter! I hope you enjoy this it. Please tag me if you recreate it.  Have a blessed Christmas!
