My Top Blush Picks for Every Skin Tone!

Now yall know I love blush! I am a blush-aholic. My face is NOT complete without my blush. With that being said I thought it would be nice to break down my favorite blushes, best of all I am going to break it down by skin tone. Without further adieu...

FAIR SKIN TONES
My fair skinned ladies are always trying to find the balance between a healthy glow and looking like a clown. These blushes will not disappoint

NARS BLUSH IN "ORGASM" $24


MAC BLUSH IN "TRACE GOLD" $20

COVERGIRL CHEEKERS IN "ROSE SILK" $8

OLIVE SKIN TONES
The best way I can describe olive skin tones would be like Kim Kardashian. You're not super pale but you aren't very tanned either.

MILANI BAKED BLUSH IN "CORALLINA" $7

NARS MULTIPLE IN "G-SPOT" $35

DREAM MATTE MOUSSE BLUSH IN "COFFEE CAKE" $8

NARS BLUSH IN TAJ MAHAL $24

BLACK RADIANCE BLUSH IN "WARM BERRY" $4

DEEP SKIN TONES
I can't tell you how many times I have heard, "My skin is too dark to wear blush." WRONG! This post is just for you, so take notes.

Hi my wonderful readers! Before I get into the post I just want to say thank you all for reading, commenting and spreading the word about my blog. I appreciate it SO much and I appreciate all of you. 

So this has been a crappy week, no let me rephrase that, a crappy month LOL and I needed a pick me up. My friend Jelisa and I went out for drinks tonight and this is a look at my makeup. I hardly ever photograph myself without my hair down because I think it makes my face look fatter #ChubbyGirlProbz but I thought this pic was cute so let me know what you guys think of my look :)

*Ben Nye Loose Powder in Chestnut $8
(If you still haven't hopped on the Ben Nye train, what are you doing with your life?)

NARS Blush Review in "Desire"

Hey babes! I have deemed today "Big Texas Hair Tuesday"! LOL, I rocked my Big Texas hair today in the pic below. Pull out your hairspray ladies and work it. Anywho, today I pulled out my NARS blush in Desire. I got this in a swap weeks ago and I finally have gotten around to reviewing it. So check out the details below...

NARS BLUSH IN "DESIRE" $28



PROS
*As usual, I love the NARS packaging. It's just so sleek and cool and it stores easily. I HATE bulky makeup that doesn't fit in my makeup trays.
*Of course this blush is VERY pigmented (most NARS products are) and I love it. This blush is perfect for women of color because it is that super bright pink color.

CONS
*I have none! I love this blush, though it's not my favorite I still wear it sometimes. I think this blush works best for my tan babies but with a light hand it can work for lighter skinned women too. 

I wore this blush today and it complimented my nude smokey eye pretty well. 
OVERALL I GIVE THIS PRODUCT AN A+

Well that is all for today babes, do yall like my Big Texas hair lol? You know in Texas they say the bigger your hair is the closer you are to heaven! LOL. On that note, peace <3

Trending: Burgundy

Hello my blog dolls! So I have a new "trend" for you all. Burgundy is so hot for the fall/winter season. I could see why because it is not super bold like red, but it's more lively than black. I like the color, but I really don't own a lot of it. I plan to incorporate it in my closet though. Enjoy!




















As you can see, you can incorporate this trend with almost anything. From scarfs, boots and of course makeup! I especially love the burgundy nails. FAB! Well I hope you guys enjoyed this post, until next time

Firmoo.com Glasses Review!

Hey dolls! So I was contacted by Firmoo.com, which is an online optical lens store. The deal is that they are trying to get their name out there by sending bloggers a pair of glasses or sunglasses to review. I said sure why not? 

I got the glasses in the mail yesterday and am IN LOVE! They are so sturdy and well made; super fashionable! Ahh I have been getting compliments on them all day. I bought mine just to wear for fashion but you can type in your prescription and get your glasses that way too. The best part is that your first pair are FREE!!!!! All you pay is shipping and handling and that's about $7! You can't beat that. 

I highly recommend this online store and I plan to purchase a pair in tortoise real soon! Check out my pics below to see the style I selected!

#SD2300 $17.50



*I am SO getting this pair next!!

If you are in need of some prescription glasses or just want to update your look fashion wise, Firmoo.com is the place to do it. I'm so grateful for my new glasses I <3 them!
