Short Story


Hi everyone...hope you had a great weekend. The weather here was nasty and rainy all day today. I took these pictures a few days ago but just getting around to posting them.

Fenced In


Wanted to wear my motorcycle coat one last time as the weather here is starting to blossom like the flowers.

F21 wedge booties, BCBG jeans, Express hoodie underneath my Ebay find motorcycle coat (luv luv luv this coat) Monet chain necklace, BCBG Max Azria frindge ring, Urban Outfitters long ring, Lipstick is Up the Amp by MAC, nail color is OPI My Chihuahua Bites

Lancôme Color Fever Shine

Strikingly Bronze, Boiling Point, Wannabe

I purchased these 3 Lancome lipsticks a few weeks ago but just got around to blogging about them. I love the textures of these lippies..they are very lightweight and hydrate the lips. They also have light-reflecting pearls which give a translucent pure shine. Thus far I've only worn Wannabe (luv this color) but I did use Strikingly Bronze on a recent video shoot I did makeup for and the actor on set loved it so much she asked for the name and brand. :-)

Other shades that you may want to try are; Hot Nights, Femme Fire, Steamy and Countdown. Only problem you may have is making a decision.

Lancome New Matte Lip colors

I stopped by the mall yesterday to sign up for the upcoming National Makeup Artist Event in April (had to secure my spot). I'm interested in the 1st micro-vibrating Oscillation mineral Powder foundation and I'm going to see how this product works...will let you know.

Here are some reviews of the new Matte lip collection Lancome is offering. They go on extremely smooth which is great and the colors are rich. I know most matte lippies out there go on rough (my MAC Ruby Woo for example...but I still love that shade) and its best if you apply a lil lip balm...but not with these. I didn't feel the need for no balm at all. I only swatched the colors I liked and I would have to say Posh Pink is my favorite. Have you tried these yet? Let me know what you think.

Supers


Super sunglasses by RetroSuperfuture in black matte Flat tops. I just sold them & miss them already...

Seems like I made a pack that March is going to be blazer month. Found this awesome hue of blue at a new thrift shop I found not to far from mi casa. I like how it had extra shoulder padding.

H&M tank, Aldo Rosemore pumps, BCBG Max Azria jeans, Monet necklace and Betsey Johnson watch which looks like a bracelet.

Chanel Rouge Coco


I was checking out some powders at the MAC counter and upon leaving I walked by Chanel's counter and STOPPED. I was intrigued by the NEW Chanel Rouge Coco lip collection which launched last month. I decided to have a seat and chat with the lovely MA named Leila about the fabulous shades. She suggested towards a reddish lip for me but I was looking for more of a peachy coral for the Spring. I tried on the #06 and fell in love with it. Ok Ok...I guess you guys can tell by now that I basically fall in love with pretty much everything. lol

If there's one Chanel item that's within every woman's budget, it's lipstick so go check out the collection.

Oh...did I mention that #6 is one of my lucky numbers!?! :-)

I wear my lipstick

I fell in love with this blazer at first glance...reminds me so much of my popping red lipsticks... Russian Red, Ruby Woo, True Red. BUT...now I have a red lip I can carry with me close to my heart thanks to Kenneth Jay Lane and his lipstick pendant necklace.


OK guys finally got the hair straightened out. My hair stylist wanted to cut about 3 inches off the ends but I would have cried so I settled for an inch and maybe a half...lol.

Noir ring and earrings, Steven boots.

I've had this Maxx New York leather hand bag for years now and I have to say It's one of my favorite. I don't use it often but when I decided to wear my new cream blazer...it was time for them to meet.
