Yay! I have been trying out several BB creams and up until now, I have only found one brand that worked for my complexion. As we know, most brands only have BB shades up to my complexion which is CRAZY!!! How could my complexion be the deepest shade that offer? It’s really sad that alot of brands don’t cater to women of color..until Iman Cosmetics started...
BB Creams are all the rage right now, but very few brands have shades for women browner than me which is crazy. My shade should not be the deepest shade they have!! Well, we know Iman Cosmetics will not fail us. They are known for creating a range of shades for all races. Out of most beauty brands, I think Iman Cosmetics has done the BEST job at creating products...
This past weekend, I headed to Lenox Mall to interview the fabulous celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine. If you haven’t heard of him, he is responsible for great looks on Iman and many other celebrities. He is now the Creative Makeup Director at Fashion Fair. I used to use Fashion Fair back in the day (Toasted Almond was my favorite lip color!!) I haven’t revisited Fashion Fair in many years due to the huge popularity of some other brands. I actually went by the counter not too long ago though. When I found out Sam Fine was...
I am a fan of Iman Cosmetics and have been for years. They were one of the first (to my knowledge) showcases models of various ethnicities. They cover a range of skin tones and I loved the ads. I remember when Iman Cosmetics wasn’t sold at many stores. Now they are at more accessible places like Wal-Mart which makes it much easier to purchase. I have used their foundation in the past as well as lip colors. They have just introduced a new collection called Sweet Temptation. The perfect palette for spring, it spotlights a sexy wash...
Okay, I am definitely liking Birchbox more. I already liked it because of the nominal price…but my first box last month, I wasn’t so excited about the samples I received. I think the reason is because I thought it was going to be more makeup based. This month Teen Vogue took over! They had their top picks for the month and I received: Essie LuxeEffects polish: This is a really pretty glittery top coat. I received the color “A Cut Above” which is a really pretty pink-mauvey color Fresh Sugar Rose’ Lip Treatment....
Have you tried out L’Oreal’s True Match Super-Blendable Makeup?? I always had a problem with purchasing foundation from drugstore brands, not because of quality (because I love drugstore brands), but because I can’t try on the shade before I buy. I know you can return makeup, but who wants to do that?? I have heard great things about L’Oreal’s True Match Super-Blendable Makeup from several bloggers and the ads make the makeup look so good (Beyonce looks amazing in the makeup). I have been a fan of L’Oreal...

I am a fan of Neiman Marcus for certain beauty items and their amazing Cusp section with the cutest clothes and shoes!!! Their annual Beauty Event starts today and there are tons of freebies! I love freebies of course! The amazing thing is that by purchasing something you love, you can get some amazing items in return (sometimes full sized and worth more than the amount you spent!!). Firstly, if you check out the above flyer you will see that with a $100 purchase in the beauty department you receive a cool tote that comes in 3 colors...
I got a chance to play around with some cool Black Opal colors. I used to used Black Opal back in the day, but once I got turned on to Mac in high school and then Bobbi Brown and Make Up For Ever over the past 5 years, I totally have neglected my drug store brands. I don’t know why either because to be honest, alot of times you can get just as great quality as you can from a high end brand. I picked out 3 shades I thought would be very fun and flirty and some that are pretty daring! Typically people tend to stay in the neutral or...
