Birds of Paradise Eyes
Categories: Makeup Tutorials


Threw this look together and the first thing that came to my mind was the ever-so-beautiful birds-of-paradise flower. Aren’t they breathtaking? They just remind me of being on an island somewhere in Tahiti, with a hot naked guy! lol

Reminds me of some of my older more colorful looks I did earlier in my YouTube days, I try to keep most of my looks everyday-wearable but every once in a while things need to get spruced up with color

Products Used

Makeup Forever HD Foundation
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW40
MAC Brow Crayon in Spiked
NYX Blush in Dusty Rose
NYX Lipstick in Hippie Chick
Makeup Forever Eyeshadow color #92 and #58
E.L.F. Liquid Eyeliner
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara
MAC Coral Eyeshadow
Inglot eyeshadows (I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the shadows  from the palette without cracking them, so I don’t have the names :( all you need is a robin’s egg blue, and a shimmery highlight color)

 

 

And voila! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and are having a fabulous week thus far. Please stay tuned, I’ll be kicking off this week by paying homage to the late Aaliyah Dana Houghton and will be recreating some of my favorite looks from her popular videos. Love you guys!

Breakup Makeup (Breakover)
Categories: Makeup Tutorials


Breaking up is HARD. As a matter of fact I’ve been in la-la land for so long with my (now exboyfriend)I almost forgot what they felt like.

Until recently, I came back to Los Angeles last week for emergency leave. And the day before I was due to fly back to Kuwait I had the awfullest thing brought to my attention via a friend……..the boyfriend got caught, red handed. In the worst way possible. It’s a very messy situation that I care not to even discuss anymore. Let’s just say it’s on some Usher Confessions Part II type of deal…

I don’t understand how we as human beings don’t give each other the bare minimum line of respect to one another anymore. I don’t know what’s going to happen in this situation and it’s not my place to wonder anymore.

What I DO know is that I am quite possibly in one of the best places in my life right now, mentally, physically and spiritually. And obviously I’ve been through a breakup before. I have every intention of getting over this one the same way I’ve done in the past. With God on my side anything is possible! I refuse to go out like that!

And guess what? God is on your side too. This video is for any woman who’s ever been through what I have through or worse. To be able to still pick your head up, look in the mirror, smile and feel beautiful is CRUCIAL. Remember it’s not YOU, it’s HIM. Let’s keep it pushing and keep workin!

FYI – I saw the title “breakover” in this months Glamour mag issue. I thought it was too freakin perfect. Breakover; after breaking up with your boyfriend and geting glammed the hell up, whether it be through a hair color and/or cut or a new makeup. It’s time for a Breakover!

There’s no particular reason why I chose blue for this look, it in no way is a reflection of being sad or upset lol Really I just used blue glitter because I wanted to try my new LA Splash pigments and glitters that I just got my hands on!
