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!!!

P.S. I am so happy with the progress of my Hur!!! I had it straightened and trimmed to see where I was at since my big chop! So far so good!! Again, I am determined to do an update post....so stay tuned!!!

Later, Bombshells!

MUL: "Winter in Moscow"

Happy Hump Day!!! The weekend is almost here! I purchased this palette months, months ago. I had gone insane trying to get my hands on this, b/c at the time I was in desperate need of a 'smokey eye' palette. By chance, I found this at my local Ulta. It was the last one and it was tucked and hidden away behind a bunch of other stuff.  I was ecstatic and relieved b/c this was sold out on the NYX website. Bought it and then it got lost in the pile along with the rest of them. I was feeling extremely fierce, so I wanted a look to match! so dug into my stash and low and behold guess who came through for me?!! Enjoy!

I love, love, love!! Some people may find this a bit much for day, but to each his own! People, please stop sleeping on NYX products. They are really cost effective for the Bombshells on a budget! They are really good quality for the price! Especially if you can get your hands on a palette like this one that does it all! It can go from soft to bold, day to night. it's really up to you and the shadows last! Just a thought! :)
