Review: Revlon ColorStay Mineral Finishing Powder

Sorry guys - I got this product a looong time ago, like a week or so before Thankgiving! But anyway, I really wanted to try this mineralize skin powdery thingy to see what it would look like on my skin. I get pretty gross & oily throughout the day, & I was told that the MAC Mineralize Skin Finish wouldn't look too hot *sad face* So I went to Wal-Greens, found a couple of coupons, & was actually able to get this product for FREE! So yeah I tried it thinking it wouldn't be so bad..plus it was free. Go figure.



I must say that I am NOT impressed! All the swatches looked like I just took a picture of my hand, literally. It doesn't show up on me..at all. Maybe if I would've opted for the pink one instead of the 020 Suntan Matte, maybe I would've had better looking results. Whomp =/

pretty baby blues

Review: Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation

Omgaaahhh, so I know I'm SUPER late..but I've finally tried Revlon's ColorStay liquid foundation & I must say that I'm in LOVE!

This stuff works great! I love how it matches the yellow tint of my skin! Sooo the color is a little on the light side, but that's not a problem. I just darken it some w/ different powders. *RECENTLY* I've mixed it w/ my L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation that I often wear ;)

COLOR = Toast, Oily/Comb

* flash (yes)

my first quickweave

My cousin was going to her friend's birthday party at a local nightclub, and at the last minute her hair-person skipped out on her. Who did she call? "RAEEEVEEENN TO THE RESCUEEE! DUN DUN NUH NUH!" Okay I'm having too much fun here. She got herself some layered tracks, I believe 8, 10, and 12 inches. From the pictures, I think the back ended up looking pretty mullet-like in the picture, but in reality, everyone was happy with the results. Thank GOD lol. I wish she would of chilled out and let me blend it in more, as well as bump it and take better pictures. Nerd.

Don't you just love the stupid face? :)

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!

It's Thanksgiving everybody, yaaaay! Too bad all the family fun is over w/ for me :( It was an interesting TG to say the least, filled with laughter, joy, & plenty of drama. Whoo!

softly smudged

Soooo I was going thru my Coastal Scents 88 Palette (matte one) & I came across some colors that I've never really used. So I picked two colors & decided to give them a go!

PROM HAIR + MAKEUP

BEFORE:

AFTER:

This has been my FAVORITE makeover by far! She was so happy & ready to go to prom after getting her hair & makeup done!

my first sew-in

This is my very FIRST sew-in creation! I didn't braid it, just sewed the hair in. I think I could've done a better job towards the top, but she LOVED it, as it gave her tons of volume & could be worked with. I also trimmed her bangs & shaped them up a tiny bit.

First Post Of Nonsense Rambling.

Soooo, I woke up this morning w/ alot on my mind. The first thought being "What am I gonna wear today?" followed by "What about my plans/hair/makeup?" I realized that I needa just go ahead & make me a Blogger & Twitter account. *WHY?* I want & NEED to expand my hair & makeup skills, plus throw my talents out there. What better way to do so than by the Internet?! So here I am, yay me! :) Now off to finding out what my plans are for the day. Have a great one & be blessed!
