You Tube Video: MY Eyebrow Routine

Recently, I posted a video showing my eyebrow routine. I've received a couple requests on how I do them so this is a quick video on how I do it.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional. I just have a love for makeup and have learned from watching  You Tube videos!!! This is my process and it is in no way a tutorial or "How To" video.

My New Wig...

I have been soooo LAZY lately. I have just been in a funky mood and not up for much posting or social networking or anything. But my last post was the hair the I received from The Hairtopia Corporation. I finished my U-part wig with a closure and I absolutely LOVE IT!! It is much longer than any wig that I have made. I used 3 bundles of hair in 24, 22 and 18 inches along with a 14 inch closure....all from Hairtopia at www.theweavestore.com.  The hair is virgin brazilian wavy and it is 5A grade hair. For all the "hairnistas" out there you probably know that is top quality grade hair. I'm still trying to find the definition of each grade of hair but hey...I've only seen 5A as the highest so it must be good. I can vouch for the fact that it is beautiful.  So far I have only curled it using my curling wand so the pictures below are of the hair curled with my curling wand. I will show other posts in different styles as I change it up.

New Herrrrrr!!!! Hairtopia Corporation

I got new herrrrrr! (hair for those not familiar with the slang....lol)

Yep! new herrrr! I was recently given some Virgin Brazilian hair to review from the Hairtopia Corporation.  This is 5AAAAA hair and it is BEAUTIFUL!  I received 24, 22, 18 inches and a closure.  Hairtopia Corp just had their Grand Re-Opening and she has added Brazilian, Malaysian and Peruvian hair to the inventory. She also has closures and clip-ins. If you are familiar with my You Tube channel you will know that I have done several videos using this hair. Previously the hair that I had received from them was Indian hair. I had also done a photoshoot for the company. I am not an employee of the Hairtopia Corporation. My reviews are always honest and my 100% honest opinion. I will be making my standard u-part wig with closure on this one and I will post the video once I get all of that done. I just wanted to give a sneak peek here on my blog.

10/9/12 FOTD: Go Pink!!!

Yay!! Go Pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

So I did this make up challenge on Instagram that is sponsored by two gorgeous MUA's (Make Up Artist) that I am following on Instagram (IG). The challenge is to show your favorite pink look or pink lip and post the pic to IG. The winner gets some cool makeup products.

So here's my contest entry that I posted:

Here is the makeup that I used.

Here are all the products(or at least all the ones I can remember):

I really love Wet N Wild eye shadow palettes. I went the CVS recently and they had all WNW palettes buy one get one free! so I bought all the ones they had in the store that I didnt have already. I even wen to another CVS to check their stash...lol

Heres more pics of the look....

I really need to invest in some studio lights because I can't find anywhere in my house to take a decent pic and get the true colors....blah!

Don't forget to do something for breast cancer awareness month. They must find a cure for this horrible disease. My grandmother is a 40+ year breast cancer survivor and she just turned 80 last week.
