MUL: "Dark Angel"

Happy Halloween!!!! How was everyone's weekend?? Filled with costume parties and celebrations, I hope. Mine was consumed with work. Yeah!!! As the title subject, I am dressing up as a beautiful Dark Angel for the festivities--or not! This is actually, a look I wore for 'Girl's Night Out'.....Lol! Anywho, this look was inspired by The Fancy Face's tutorial of the same name. She's so gifted, isn't she? I really enjoy her tutorials b/c they are always on point. Loves me some Tina!! Hey, Girl!!!

I was indecisive about which lip I should sport with this look. I've been feenin' to use M.A.C's Impassioned lipstick and I thought it would work here---but I felt it was too much.....womp! womp! I'm on a mission for you boo, boo!! Lol!

Earrings: Rainbow

So I ended up with a neutral lip! Go figure! I was actually getting dressed at work and I forgot to grab M.A.C's Velvet Teddy, so I had to make due with what I had. Overall, I am impressed with the look. I got a whole lot of compliments!!! So many, many, many thanks Tina for her amazing tutorials!!! Keep 'em coming. If you are going out tonight, please be safe! Happy Halloween!!!

Bombshell Events: Super Sweet 16

I can't believe its already Friday!!! So, what's the weekend plan? For me, its work! work! WORK! what's new? I wanted to close out the week, with an event I worked a few weeks ago. It was a Sweet Sixteen and I had so much fun. The ladies asked me to create a smokey-eye and nude lips and it's exactly what they got! I put a bit of my own spin on everyone and I think everyone came out beautiful! In the midst of my excitement, I forgot to take 'before' of a few of the ladies and one of the girls I completely forgot to photograph her. Oops!!! Hehehehehehe!

 

Before/After

 Before/After

  Before/After

With this young lady, if you noticed, I did the "Naked Shimmer" look on her. She felt her dress was plain and wanted her makeup to match her accessories. 

 After (oops! forgot to take before)

 This is by far the most extravagant Sweet Sixteen, I have ever witnessed. The birthday girl, looked more like a bride than a sixteen year old. She looked amazing and her dress was equally amazing. I did not do her makeup. Another artist has to take the credit here. However, she (the artist) did a wonderful job!!! I am still not over that dress!!! You see the crown??!! OMG!!! 

The birthday girl and her friends.....

Thank you so much for allowing me to share in your special day! You all looked gorgeous. Hope your birthday was everything and more!

That's all folks! Have a great weekend!

Later, Bombshells!!

Yes, My hair color is different! Since summer is officially over, I also wanted to say goodbye to the blonde tips! I went for a fiery rojo! I actually want it to be a bit brighter (which it will soon be), but for now this is fitting the bill. I like being a red-head!! I'm so overdue for a hair update!!! Stay tuned......

Later, Bombshells! 

MUL: "Naked Shimmer"

Happy Wednesday!!!! Today's look is another one of my faves. In person it is absolutely gorgeous!!! The pictures really don't do it justice! It's really eye-catching and shimmer-y! I'm really excited about this....and it's using my Micabella shimmer eye shadows. I'm really upset that they no longer sell these in the kiosks in the mall! B/c I could get about (5) eyeshadows for like $20!!! Now, I can only get them online and they are bit pricey ($14.95 a pop!!)! Uhm, no thanks!!! lol! Hopefully since the holidays are coming up, they will have specials and then i can stock up. Fingers crossed.....
