Want to Conceal Your Dark Under Eye Circles?



You guys know I go to my makeup guru's for advice. Today I'm using a tutorial from Makeup By RenRen. She explains all of the steps for concealing those dark circles! Hope this is helpful for you'll, because it helped me.



Ren mentions Bobbi Brown's corrector and concealer in this vid. If your intrested here they are...
This is the corrector. Always remember these steps when applying corrector:
Mint Green- Red spots
Yellow/Orange- Black, Blue, or Purple
Lavender- Evens out skintones
Sky Blue- Orange (maybe from tanning)

$22.00 (Macy's Stores)

& this is the concealer...

This is actually a kit because it includes concealer (on top) and a loose powder on the bottom to set the concealer. Powder is very important!
 $32.00 at Bobbi Brown (Macy's Stores)

but if you just want the concealer it's $22.00
Use these to avoid looking like this!

Wishlist Continued...

Hello readers :) This is just MORE of what I want for my birthday so pick & choose what you want to buy me haha ;-) What I do get, I will do reviews on! *Promise*

I think that these colors are great. Nice palette. I've never used Too Faced shadows before, & I want these to be my first!


only $35.00 at Sephora ♥

But I will tell you what I have used by Too Faced & it's their Lash Injection Mascara which I love! Makes my lashes look full and dark just like I like them. I tried the little trial size for $8.50 to see how it worked. Now I will be investing in a full size.

For a highlight, I would love to try Benefit's Moon Beam. I've tested it in Sephora on my hand and it has a gorgeous gold/pink shimmer to it. Wonder how good it would look on my cheeks...

$24 in Sephora

Now off makeup for a sec, & too the hair. Im not sure which is better but I will be doing some research on them before I buy them bc im sure none of my friends are going to buy me a $200-$300 flat iron. If you guys have these or have tried them before let me know how they are!

This is the ghd 1-inch styler...

& this is the izunami 1-inch styler


is one better than the other or are they pretty much the same? LET ME KNOW!

Amber Monroe, Nicki the Barbie, & If You Were Wondering...

Im not really a HUGE fan of Amber Rose or Nicki Minaj, but I think their style is dope (on occasion).
As far as Amber goes, for this photoshoot to replicate Marilyn Monroe I think everything was good except for the wig  & the mad face. Marilyn was always smiling, or being sexy. This just looks MAD :-/ judge for yourself ...

♥ the lip color tho...


Now on to Nicki. I didn't take all the photo's from her spread in Black Man Magazine, just this one because I liked her makeup. She always pulls the Bright eye & Bright lip look (which doesn't necessarily work for everybody) but works for her.

you like?

& If You Were Wondering...

These pumps Khloe Kardashian wore at the Lakers v. Celtics game last night are Louboutins. To DIE for!! They remind me of Cinderella :) 
They were also featured in the movie 'Sex And The City 2'. But if your a broke college student like me or just on a budget, I'm sure you can't afford these luxurious shoes so to opt for the next best thing I would advise these
Halston Stella Pumps.

these are available at Bakers Stores, or Online!
only $79.95 & other colors are available.

Hope this post was helpful :)

Trina Works In Source Mag...


Ok now I'm sure alot will agree with me on this, but not everybody can pull off black lipstick. Maybe a few celebs such as Beyonce, or Rihanna wear it well. Trina is featured in Source Mag's June/July issue & she looks fab! Makeup is flawless & edgy which is really out of the box for Trina. What you think? I ♥ the black, pink, & peach lips!
