December beauty haul

-

 
 


   Picked up a few cosmetic items that I am hoping would help out my minor makeuppy issues:


 1. MAC cosmetics Prep and Prime Fix+


A good friend of mine advised oh so long ago that I should try this product to set my makeup longer.  Especially at work, where we teachers have hot classrooms and my hot Art room.  I hope this helps.
In addition, I looked at some YouTube videos and discovered that this can also be spritzed onto your makeup brush before you apply eye shadows.  They say it results in more vivid shadow pigments. 


2. Revlon Brow Fantasy pencil and gel. 



 Strangely enough, I received an adequate pair of eyelashes naturally.  However, my eyebrows seem to be late bloomers. So I decided to give this product a try.  I can use the pencil to draw in parts of my brows, then use the gel to brush them in one direction.


3. Sacha mattifier face primer.



I also got this primer to try out in my hot situations.


4.  Ruby Kisses 3D face creator .



I picked this up after seeing this in Wonderful World for a long while.  I'm assuming (yeah I know about the assuming thing) that this is some sort of contour palette.  This would be cool to use for those fancy heels and dress types of social events or my YouTube makeup tutorials.



5.  Nicka K HD concealer.


These seem to be similar to the LA Girl Pro Conceal HD concealers (which I had two tubes of - they went bad, WW doesn't have my shade so I was forced to find replacements).  Maybe they will work as well as their LA Girl counterparts?


6.  Cosmetic organizing trays.




I found these in IAM, decidedly cheaper versions of what I had seen previously in Home Land Furnishings.  I decided to move my liquid and cream makeup products to a cooler area of my apartment so this tray was handy.  My tray now holds 16 lip items and 4 face products.

Hope you enjoy reading my blog posts!

 This year's awards show was held on Sunday in Los Angeles.  Word on the streets? Many outfits were less than flattering. We try our best not to use the G word over here.  However we saw many cute and stylish outfits, proudly worn by our ladies.   We managed to choose 5 gorgeous red carpet ensembles from BET's event. This dark dress with a flattering neckline managed to turn heads.  Applique was the name of the game for this short number. This dress was our personal favorite, body hugging and with a strategically placed slit. We would have preferred a less translucent look, but this fit was definitely worn with confidence. Her hair could have been in an updo, however we love the gold accents worn with this mindless. Who were your 5 Best Dressed Ladies?

                          I have to admit , these Creme of Nature products have been lifesavers for my hair!  Since I decided to buy these products just for the heck of it, I don't regret my purchases.  These have been my go-to products for a little over two months and I am totally satisfied with the results.     1.  Creme of Nature Moisture & Shine shampoo.  This sulfate - free product lathers up well and rinses out leaving hydrated, clean hair. 2.  Creme of Nature Leave - In Hair Milk.   I apply this after I condition my hair and also as a daily moisturiser. 3.  Creme of Nature Pudding Perfection Curl Enhancing Creme This is the last step in my hairdressing routine.  As the name states, its pudding - like consistency keeps my hair moist so it does not dry out and get crunchy.   The label says it can also be used with heat to stretch out curls but I try to keep heat - styling tools at bay as much as I can. My thoughts on this line? I
