A little goes a long way

I really wasn't feeling like wearing anything on my face today. But duty calls and I have to work so the look is super simple. I used Eternal Sun Pro Blush from MAC on both my lids and cheeks and made my crease a little darker with Embark. On my lips I have Rebel lipstick and Currant lip liner both from MAC and I really love this combination! For foundation I have my favorite foundation of all time Studio Sculpt in a combination of NW40 and NW43.

Be.YOU.tiful

Random selfie of the day. I couldn't do anything really cool with it so this is what became of the raw image.

We got snowed on pretty good yesterday here in MN. So with super cold weather and snow everywhere, it's only natural that I would spend sometime taking pictures of myself lol. Plus like I've said before I need to explore all that my camera can do. 

This is also a way for me to keep track of my weight loss journey. So far I can see a huge difference! Not only in the way I look but also on the way I feel. And that's what's more important to me. 

Sultry Look with Dark Lips

Ok so I am totally loving this lipstick from Wet n' Wild which is called Cerry Bomb/918D. It's such a beautiful deep red, perfect for the cold season. I didn't want to do much with my eyes since I was going to wear such dark lips. I really like the way this turned out. 

On my eyes I'm wearing MAC Blanc Type on my lids and MAC Embark on the lid. To op it off I used liquid liner to create the winged line and some random lashes lol. 

I had to work so I was super pressed for time as usual so my hair was supposed to be a lazy attempt that turned out really cute. For the ease and cuteness of braids I love them.

Natural Hair Styling

Ok so it's been a while since I've posted. I'm trying to be more consistent but life happens. And on top of it all Blogger was not allowing me to post pictures *sigh* so I had to buy more storage blah, blah, blah.
So here is a short little post on this look I did. I tried a bantu knot out on dry hair, and I love it. My hair was super soft and the curls were pretty defined.

My makeup was extremely simple, with just winged eyes and bold lips (pink nouveau and lady gaga lipglass)

Share Your Style Party!

I am so excited for this post! I had the pleasure of taking part of the Share Your Style which was hosted by Vintage Wanna Bee and Agape Love Designs. The challenge was to team up with another blogger and to create a handmade hair accessory for her.

My partner was Michele from Better Organized Living. She sent me a super cute black hairband with a turquoise flower. Turquoise is one my favorite colors! I absolutely loved my hairband. Not to mention the fact that it's awesome to receive pretties in the mail ^_^

Thank you so much Michele for taking the time to create and send me this hair accessory. 

I made her a headband which was wrapped in a cheetah print ribbon and adorned with some handmade flowers. Go check out how cute she looks with the one I sent her here. 

Fitness: Let's Get Lean

Cardio is very important for those looking to lose weight. But along with cardio is also very important to make sure we are keeping our muscles tight and lean, and to achieve that we have to incorporate strength training. So I found these workouts and thought I'd share it with you ^_^

This is an awesome video to help us tone our arms! As we lose weight it's also important to tone so you don't get all flabby lmao! I'm serious, the last thing you want is to go through all of that hard work of losing weight and not being able to flaunt your hard work because you're not toned. 

I also to share this link to a tumblr. She has listed all o the videos for the Insanity workout videos, which can be viewed online for free!!!!! Just follow this link

Let Your Beauty Shine

You Just can't go wrong with a simple look. I love this look because it took minimal time and it looks pretty good (if I do say so myself) Doing a cat eye is great because you have many option with your lips, but for today I chose to go with nude lips to keep everything down. 

Sometimes you have to let your own beauty shine and a little eyeliner, blush and lipstick can do so much and yet it let's you just be you!

I'm really loving this wet n' wild lipstick, and you can also see me wearing it here. It's perfect with any look.
