Look Who is Back in Black...

So Ri-Ri has ditched her blonde hair to go back to black and I am lovingggg it! Her skin is so gorgeous just about any hair color looks great on her, but black is my fave and I’ve heard hers too. What do you guys think? Do you love the black hair or are you missing wild and crazy Rihanna?

Black Radiance Blush Review



I ordered these two blushes by Black Radiance from Amazon.com ($4 a piece) and I must say I am very pleased with my purchase! The top color is Toasted Almond and the bottom color is Warm Berry. I have provided swatches below…


Warm Berry is at the top, Toasted Almond is at the bottom. These colors are SO pigmented!! I would even compare them to M.A.C. blushes or Milani baked blushes. This company caters to Black women but I feel these colors would compliment various skin tones. Don’t believe me? Give it a try! You will be glad you did.


Eyes of the Day



Hello Beautiful Bloggers!
So I admit I am not the expert when it comes to applying eyeshadow, I’m usually more of a liquid eyeliner kind of girl. But, I ordered the Book of Shadows pallete from Urban Decay so I wanted to experiment a little. How did I do lol?

Eyes:
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Gravity
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Bust 
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
-NYX Za Za Zu Mascara in Black

Eyebrows:
-NYX Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown
-Coastal Scents Concealer Pallete (this product is ahhhmazzinnggg)

I hope you guys enjoyed the look! I plan on doing many more as I experiment more with my colors. See you guys next time J

Oooo La La: Perfume Trays

I don’t know about you guys but I loveeee perfume! Not only do I love smelling nice, I love to display the pretty bottles. A cool way to show off your collection is by using perfume trays. Mine belonged to my grandmother but you can find some nice ones anywhere from Target to Amazon. Enjoy.



This is how I store my collection! Here are some other perfume tray ideas.





Perfume trays are so sophisticated and brighten up any room. I adore mine, I recommend any perfume collector to invest in one or two. Until next time.

Celeb Look of the Week: Kim Kardashian




These are pictures of Kimmie on Easter Sunday. I am in love with the contrast of the yellow, tie-bow blouse and the pleated creme skirt. Of course this outfit wouldn't be Kardashian certified without the signature, black blazer.



Some people did not think this skirt was appropriate for church due to the length. I'm not gonna lie, this skirt would be a NO GO at any church of mine but she is Kim Kardashian lol. What do you guys think? Fashion hit or miss?
