Sapphire Nights

Today's look is a dark/ navy blue with lime green. As of late, I've had ALOT on my mind and so I've been a it less bubbly than I usually am. Of course, people have many different ways in which they express what's going on inside of them and I've been "painting" my face alot but with dark colors. I guess dark colors are also perfect for the fall/winter.I live in the bright, beautiful and sunny Caribbean so I really don't experience winter per se but hey, nothing's wrong with wearing the fall/ winter colors right?Well this was my look for the day.Tell me what you think!Eyes:Two-Faced Shadow InsuranceMAC Beige-ing ShadestickNYX Summer Green e/sJesse's Girl green shimmer eye dustUrban Decay Adore e/sMAC Blue Flame e/sBrows:Nameless dark brown shadowFace:MAC...

Breast Cancer Awareness Makeup Competition

I've never entered a makeup competition but thought it'd definitely be worth my while to enter A Brilliant Brunette's Breast Cancer Awareness Makeup Competition (http://www.abrilliantbrunette.com/2009/10/contest-time-breast-cancer-awareness.html) where you had to create a makeup look using pink. I surely went for it. I'll let you know if I was the lucky winner. As mentioned in my previous blog on Breast Cancer makeup, I am a HUGE supporter of any type of organization or event regarding cancer (any type). My mom died of cancer 4 years ago and even though her type of cancer (Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) is not as big a deal as Breast Cancer, I still support it.In the meantime, stay tuned for more fabulous makeup looks and remember, Beauty is NOT in...

Roots, Rock, Reggae Makeup

For those of you who've actually noticed, my hair is not braided neither is it a weave, I am what most would consider a "dread", simply meaning that my hair is dreadlocks. Am always asked if it's real or not and yes, it is. I love it. Initially it was a right, royal mess but as it gets longer, I'm enjoying it more and more because I can do so many different things with it. I can curl it, crimp it, wear it straight and it still looks cute (or at least I think so :).The colors of "Rasta" are red, green and gold (yellow) so I decided that I'd definitely do a makeup look with these colors and this one is the first of many to come.Hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave commen...

5 Beauty Myths

Myth #1: The razor blade/ blade makes the hair more darker and more thicker. If this thing is true probably everyone would shave their heads, from men to women and children. It is true what it is said about wax: makes the hair softer and its growth more slow, but the fact that the blade makes the hair darker and thicker is just a myth!Myth #2: The eye shadow must have the same colour with your eyes. There is nothing wrong with the above sentence, until we use the word “must”. You may use a shade close to the colour of your eyes, but the thing you will get will be a natural make up, to say so, because your eyes will not stand out. If you want a deep make up, which will accentuate your eye colour; you must use a large variety of colours.A black eye shadow (smokey eyes make up) works perfectly...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month- October

As women, we should all know how very important it is to have our annual checks just to ensure that our bodies are functioning as they should and there are no unwanted lumps or bumps anywhere.I am a strong supporter of any type of cancer organization simply because 1- my mother died of cancer (non-hodgkins lymphoma) 4 years ago and 2- I have cancer on both sides of my family. Dealing with cancer is NO fun. The patients suffer and so do the friends and family of the cancer patient. I know because I've been there. Unfortunately we all know someone who has suffered from this terrile diseas.In honor of my mother and all other cancer patients, breast cancer or otherwise, this makeup look is dedicated to y...

15 Sexiest Makeup Looks of All Time

Simple ways to vamp up your eyes, lips and cheeks 1- Smoky EyesGive eye makeup a bedroom-y kind of sex appeal by working in layers and smudging it along the way. First up, creamy black pencil—wedged into the upper and lower lashes and softened by gently rubbing with your finger or cotton swab. Trace over that with black shadow and smudge with the swab. Then sweep shimmery gray shadow over the upper lids and blend it up beyond the crease (the more tangled it is with the black, the better). 2- Glossy Nude LipsThere's no simpler way to get a sex-kittenish pout. Choose a nude that's slightly pink or flecked with shimmer (they're the most flattering), and concentrate the gloss on the center of the lips (that's the most fattening). 3- Dewy SkinFake...
