Tha Gabulous Lyfe

Hello, Dolls I've been on the search for a new brow product for a while. My favorite brow pencil has been reformulated; and no longer to my liking. It was my holy grail of brow products for years! On the bright side, I've found a good brow pomade; but, not a pencil. I received the Cover Girl Brow Draw & Fill Brow Tool for my consideration. Read below for my thoughts! Product Description + Benefits From Cover Girl's website... "Shaping and defining your brows is officially a breeze with COVERGIRL Easy Breezy Brow Draw and Fill Brow Tool! This innovative two-in-one tool lets you easily shape and define eyebrows to create your own unique style. Using the precise slanted eyebrow pencil, draw and shape fine hairs, then use the soft cushion point on the other end to fill in and blend color into brows. The final touch? Shaping eyebrow powder sets brows in place for a natural looking finish--easy peasy." Benefits EASY, BREEZY BROWS: Two-in-one tool le...

I'm back with another look! I decided to do a look using mostly products that I recently hauled in the last few months, besides four products; everything mentioned was recently purchased.  I'm seriously trying to use everything I buy. I was inspired by the pink blouse I was wearing and I decided to use Urban Decay's Bordello (pale mauve with gold micro-glitter) eyeshadow as my main color, it came out being a melange of a pink frosty look. I was feeling extra, so I wore some lashes! Take a look for yourself :-) Products Used Brows -Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade in Auburn -Mac Select Cover Up concealer NC45 to clean up brows Eyes -Lorac Behind the Scenes eyeshadow primer -Lorac Nectar e/s as highlight -Lorac Light Brown e/s as transition color -Lorac Cool Gray e/s as crease color -Urban Decay Bordello e/s on lid -Maybelline Ultra Liner black liquid liner on upper lash line -Wink and Pout Baby Doll lashes by Kym Lee -Eylure Lashfix...

A little while I go, I did my everyday work /place makeup look...that look has changed, so; I wanted to show my updated everyday look that I wear to work. I work at a library (library's are definitely not as conservative as a lot of people think as far as beauty and style) I can definitely wear color there, but; I choose to wear a more subdued makeup look. The look consists of a polished face (concealer and powder), bronzer, mascara and a pink lip (I'm really loving pink lips right now!) if I have extra time, I may put eyeshadow on my lids. Here is the look... Products I wear daily: MAC SELECT COVER UP CONCEALER I wear this concealer in NC45, it gives just the right amount of coverage for my dark circles and acne scars without looking made up. It provides a satin, natural finish...perfect for the office. MAC BLOT POWDER IN DARK To set the concealer, I apply this blot powder. I don't like to look to matte, so; I apply this powder only to the ...

I try not to post on topics that are so popular like the "My monthly faves" edition that a lot of bloggers and You Tube gurus do (nothing wrong with posting about your faves) but I just try to switch things up a bit, but; I can't help spreading the word on these products... I may not post about my faves every month but every once in a while I would like to share products that I can't get enough of using. Here are some of them! Mac Oil Control Lotion - It's spring time again, even though I'm still dealing with winter temperatures in my area, my skin is starting to produce more oil like it normally does in the spring time. I've been using the oil control lotion every day as a moisturizer and to combat oil. I really like it because it works and over time it slows down the amount of oil your skin produces. Ambi Fade Cream - I broke out terribly around my mouth and chin in February. My acne always leaves scars and dark spots on my face, so I have to reso...

A few weeks ago I went to Soho, New York with a few friends for a Natural Hair Show. I wanted to do a simple look but I also wanted to wear some lipstick, I normally just wear gloss. I was in the mood to wear one of my fall shade lipsticks...and this is the look that I ended up creating! The products I used are pictured below...

One of my weekly habits is that I browse the sales papers from convenience/drugstores like CVS and Rite Aid. Both stores always have makeup and beauty sales.  A week ago Rite Aid happened to have buy 1 Cover Girl mascara and get the second one free! While looking for mascara-I also browsed the entire cosmetic section (like I always do) and I picked up a few more items. I've used all of the products since I've bought them and here are my thoughts. Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara Waterproof What Cover Girl Says "Get a blast of lush, volumized lashes! LashBlast's patented volume-boosting formula and patent-pending brush are designed to max-out each and every lash, leaving you with the ultimate big lash look. Now in waterproof, too!" What I say T his mascara was $8.99. It's a pretty good mascara... I got it in waterproof (black and brown black) because I plan on using it in my makeup kit for the crying brides. It has the biggest mascara brush I've eve...
