Homecoming Style 2013

Posted on October 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

This past weekend October 12, 2013, my youngest daughter Naomi went to Homecoming. She is currently a sophomore in high school so she was really excited to go a second year.

Naomi has been telling her friends and classmates about my blog. One of her classmates asked if I would be able to do her makeup for homecoming.

I assured Lynne’s parents I would keep the makeup age appropriate.

I used NYX and Maybelline on Lynne’s eyes. I really liked the way Maybelline’s Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in Improper Copper looked on her.

I did Naomi’s hair and makeup. The dress she got from her big sister’s closet. The shrug and booties are mine.

Sally Beauty Supply Haul for October

Posted on October 4, 2013 | 2 comments

I actually made this purchase at the end of September. I realized I still had to use my 15% off coupon.

I have been using the Marley Hair as a part of my protective styling.

I finally broke down at bough two nail polishes from China Glaze. These two
colors are from the Fall 2013 collection. I also received false eyelashes for free
because of this purchase.

Strike Up A Cosmo and Rendezvous With You

Ardell #120 False Eyelashes

September was also the month I needed to renew my Beauty Club Membership for $5.00. I chose the Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Crème as a result of paying the renewal fee. I would rather my daughters wore their natural hair curly. At least they know to protect their hair when flat ironing.

Pittsburgh recently hosted its fourth annual Fashion Week. The festivities concluded on September 29, 2013.

Fashion Week in Pittsburgh made its debut in 2010. Seven days of fashion shows and events held at various venues throughout the city. I attended the fashion show that was held at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh on September 28, 2013. I saw the designs from some extremely talented students.

Miyoshi Anderson is the Executive Director & Founder of Pittsburgh Fashion Week. She is a native of Pittsburgh and has had a very successful modeling career.

A Closer Look: BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush Set

Posted on September 23, 2013 | Leave a comment

I purchased the BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush set when it was on sale for $9.00 during a back to school sale on their website. This is the second time I purchased a brush set from BH Cosmetics. The first set I purchased from them was the 24 Piece Synthetic Brush Set. I couldn’t pass up buying another brush set especially when it was $9.00.

I have not experienced any shedding with these brushes while using them. They hold the product well and the eye brushes are fantastic. The face brushes are soft and don’t scratch. The brushes didn’t shed when I cleaned them either. The case is really sturdy too.

BH Cosmetics has another winner on its hands with the 12 Piece Pink Brush Set. This set with worth checking out. 🙂

Kmart Haul: Ardell Lash Sale Again

Posted on September 21, 2013 | 3 comments

It seems the only time I buy false eyelashes is when they are on sale at Kmart. Once again the Ardell False Eyelashes were on sale for $2.69 each. I stocked up on a few more.

If I wanted to wear false eyelashes everyday it would be the Ardell #110. These lashes are still my favorite. I get that natural full look with them.

I also purchased the Ardell #109 just to add more variety to my false eyelashes collection. I can still achieve that natural full look with these lashes.

I also noticed some hair accessories on clearance. I have really enjoyed wearing my natural hair thanks to finding cute accessories like these.

HauteLook Haul: Shoes!!!

Posted on September 21, 2013 | Leave a comment

It’s no secret how much I love HauteLook. This post is a combination of shoe purchases I have made. This time around I got two pairs of shoes for my youngest as a part of her back to school shopping. She really wanted some cute combat boots and sneaker wedges. I knew I would find exactly what she wanted because of the wide selection of shoes.

For the combat boots I ordered the Charles Albert Black Leopard Boot.
