How amazing is Jessica Sanchez‘ makeup look for this video featuring Ne-Yo?!

Absolutely DIG how it’s smokey and dark, yet glittery at the same time. IT almost looks shiney as she dances and turns her head side to side. Loves it!

I’m kind of late on the bandwagon because I’d never heard of her, but when I found out we have the same birthday I knew she was cool

As soon as I saw this video I knew I had to recreate, she’s also from Cali so I had to show some support!

<h2>UBLUSH Magazine</h2> recently interviewed me and had some kind and uplifting things to say that brought me to tears and reminded me exactly why I do what I do.

Please take the time to check out the interview and support their recent website launch, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

I’ll never be able to express my gratitude enough, to any of you, for all of this. This is truly inspiring and amazing.

Time for an OOTD post

Who’s ready for a prom tutorial?! I am!! I am! *raises hand*

So I brought my little sister Toyin to be my model this is her senior year and will be attending prom this year so she wanted to try out some makeup looks.

I know that makeup shopping can be overwhelming and even more so when you’re a teen on a budget, so I did my best to use good quality products that were on the more affordable side with just a few products that were a bit more pricey. I did my best to keep the total very balanced!

Aint she puuurty?!

Here’s what I used!

L’OREAL Magic Perfecting Base
MAC Brow Pencil in Spiked
Coastel Scents Camouflage Concealer (you can also use the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, this one I actually do recommend, unlike the Fit Me foundation *shivers*)
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Wet & Wild Mega Plump Mascara
Red Cherry #523 Lashes
Black Eyeliner
E.L.F. Flawless Finish Foundation in Cocoa
E.L.F. Mineral Infused Primer
Covergirl Queen Collection Bronzer
La Femme Peach Sparkle
E.L.F. Body Glow
Estee Lauder lipgloss

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial as much as we did making it for you all xx

Toyin says you can follow her on instagram -_- lol @toyinaina *but no pervs or creeps*

Happy prom ladies!
