New Makeup- MUA Makeup Academy Haul, Review & Swatches

Hi beauties: Today I'm here to share my MUA Makeup Academy Haul, Review and Swatches with you. I was first made aware of this brand when I last visited England in 2010.

Recreation: Pinky Swear

Hi beauties: I'm back again with another FOTN (Face of the Night) and this time, it's a recreation of one of my favorite new found Youtube Makeup Artists, Naya. Naya is a representative of the ever so pigmented and fierce makeup lines, Bitch Slap Comestics. Other than one of my other faves, none other than Miss Lauren better known as "Queen of Blending", Naya has the boldest eye makeup looks ever and her videos are super quick and easy to follow. So without further delay, here is my version of Naya's Pinky Swear look! Please pardon the quality of my pics as they were taken with my cell phone... Until next time, stay bless...

FOTN: Acid Pop!

Hi beauties: Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to leave work and get home early enough for what I call, 'therapy'.....in other words, mess around with makeup and create colourful looks. It has been raining non-stop since Sunday and the outdoor activities are limited so I occupy my time with makeup which I certainly don't mind. Last night, I wanted to create a simple look using my new MUA Makeup Academy colours which I will do a swatch and review post on shortly. I chose to work with greens and here's what I came up with. Until next time, stay blessed! ...

The Interview: Beauty Queen goes Natural...

(my apologies for all the text drama that's happening in this interview but I just don't know how to fix it. Help!) A BEAUTY QUEEN'S  BIG CHOP For all who live in the Cayman Islands, the name Nicosia Lawson rings a very loud bell. On 23 August 2008, Miss Lawson was crowned Miss Cayman Islands 2008 where she would later compete in the Miss World and Miss Universe competitions. She held the title of Miss Cayman Islands for a very fun-filled and long 2 years. This 5ft 8in beauty happens to be my sister (born of separate parents but my sister nonetheless) who quickly gained that title after she fell in love with the makeup that I did on her for the first Cayman Fashion Solstice in 2010. Today, I get to share...

A collage of color

Hi beauties: Since I have not been doing single "tutorials" blog posts of myself lately, I figured the least I could do was create a collage of what I have been doing and share it with you. As of late, makeup after, late at night has been my therapy to unwind after horrible work days. So.....here's to horrible work days. Click on picture to enla...

The Interview- A different perspective

Hi beauties: Today I'm back with another hair interview but this one is from a completely different perspective and hits home for me because it's about loc'd hair. As you read through this interview, you will get a sense of who "LW" really is. She has such a beautiful, positive and vibrant spirit. I love this girl.... Let's get right into it. BEFORE Me: What inspired/ motivated you to loc your hair? LW: I locked my hair 5 days after graduating from university. It was about 3 years ago now. At that time in my life I felt like everything I had done/accomplished thus far was all according to what was the "norm" and what was expected of me, you know, going through high school, then college and finally university, so...

Cayman Carnival, Batabano 2012!!! Time to fete!

Carnival fever is in the air and the people of the Cayman Islands are in full swing and ready to fete. All the revellers are excited and ready to go and the radio stations are pumping the latest calypso and soca to keep the soca junkies' adrenaline going. Cayman Carnival, Batabano was launched by the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman in 1983 (see more info here: Cayman Carnival Batabano). On Saturday, May 5, 2012, soca junkies will be in the streets of Grand Cayman displaying their vibrant costume colours. Two of the main groups that I always look forward to seeing their costumes are Island Mas Cayman and Swanky International . I actually won't be 'chipping down di road' but I will try to get in on some of the action...
