Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

We all wanted to fall in love with the new Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners. They were so sparkly and pretty and of course that instantly made us forget all our other list of requirements we consider on if we should purchase a product or not. I put these to the test to see if they were really worth your time to scour the beauty aisle for them and if they were really worth $5.99. In m opinion the Milani Constellation Gel liners miss the mark. They can be worn as a liner but not smudged to give the effect of…

Naomi, Iman and Rihanna for Olivier Rousteing’s Balmains Fall Winter 2014-2015 Collection

STUNNING, FLAWLESS, AND POWERFUL. Those three words came to mind when I first caught glimpse of the photos from the September Issue of W Magazine. What I love is that it shows three powerful black women coming together to show their beauty in Olivier Rousteing’s Balmains Fall Winter 2014-2105 Collection. Naomi and Iman have been known to have their spats in the past, and well Rihanna is of course Rihanna.   I do see myself picking up this Magazine to add the photos on my Vision Board.       Images from Phresh Scan Remastered

HUM Nutrition: Vitamins for the Modern Women Plus Give Away!

“BEAUTY STARTS FROM WITHIN… which is why we started HUM”   The older I get the more I know I should be taking my daily vitamins. I’m always being asked by my mom “Are you taking your vitamins?” when I complain of an ache or a pain. I do take vitamins but they aren’t the most exciting part of my day. They’re not as exciting as lets say my first sip of coffee, or putting on a brightly hued lipstick, but with a little help from the people over at HUM Nutrition I think taking a daily vitamin might be…

Must Have Beauty Books and Videos

How do you like to learn about Beauty and Makeup? Most people turn to youtube, but I’ve always been the type of person that likes to curl up with good book or a movie and just indulge.  I’ve always been into Makeup but I really didn’t turn to books until I started working as a MUA while living in North Carolina.
