This Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick is a treat!

It's been a while since I've posted about a lipstick, lipgloss, or any lip color in general. People often talk about that one beauty item they can't go without. For some, it's brows, for others mascara, but for me, it's always been lipstick.  

Recently I tried out the Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick and was impressed with the quality of this lipstick retailing at only $4.99. I can tell you based off personal experience that for a liquid lipstick that offers 12hour wear, Rimmel London delivers. It doesn't get dry or start flaking off your lips like other brands I've tried tend to do. These lipsticks are perfect for any food outing or even a girls night out. The color truly does stay put.

Hey Nubians, 

Like Emojis For Your Lips!

Violent Lips Minis are these super adorable temporary lip tattoos. They're a great alternative to lipstick when you want to do something fun and make a statement or simply get creative with your makeup. You can also use these little temporary tattoos on your face so they're perfect for Coachella or any type of cool festival or party. 



What You'll Need.
  • Scissors 
  • Cotton Balls
  • Water
If you're animated like me and love comics, cartoons, and art you'll probably enjoy sporting these for a day. If you're a Social Media Manager or work in the Digital Realm they're also perfect for you. 

Remove them with some makeup remover or coconut oil. They last a fair amount of time if you don't do anything crazy like bite your lips, or go a a crazy make out session. 

Watch my video below to watch the application process. Also be a doll and follow me on YouTube.




Cheers!

Hey Nubians,

Kiss and Pout! 

I absolutely Love lipstick. I can go on without barely any makeup on my face, but I must have some sort of tinted lips. Every season I try to rotate my lipsticks according to the seasons. Lately I've been all about matte lips too! For Fall/Winter I enjoy using darker, deeper shades. Below please enjoy my 4 favorite lipsticks so far this month for Fall/Winter.

The lipstick brands are Avon, L.A. Girl Cosmetics, Wet N' Wild Beauty and Covergirl.

**Tips**

-Always moisturize before wearing lip color to avoid chapped lips and peeling skin.
-For darker colors use a lip brush to stay in the lines better.

Watch the video below to see swatches of the colors and the exact names. Subscribe to my YouTube HERE.


Avon- Berry Cute

L.A. Girl Cosmetics- Blue Valentine

Wet N' Wild Beauty - 24 Carrot Gold 

Covergirl - #50 Storm Trooper 


Which of these lip colors is your favorite?

Who doesn't love a good haul? 


Lately I've gotten my hands on a whole bunch of make-up and beauty products I'm super excited about. I wanted to share a few I plan to review this month with you from John Frieda and NYC New York Color.

Let's start with the hair products because lord knows I need all the help I can get with frizziness this summer being that my hair is so thick and it's going to be very hot.


1) John Frieda Frizz Ease KeraFlex - A keratin infused hair spray that provides shape + finish and claims to create frizz-free styles.

2) John Frieda Frizz Ease Expert Finish - Polishing serum that controls fly-aways and boosts shine.

3) John Frieda Frizz Immunity Primer - Eliminates frizz at the source. Works from the inside out. 

4) NYC New York Color BB Creme Line - We all know how effective in making your skin look wonderful a good BB Cream can be. Being that this is a drug store brand that's fairly affordable I'm very curious and eager to try these NYC BB products. Here you'll see an Instant Matte, a Bronzed Radiance creme and a Perfecting Powder. 

5) NYC New York Color City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eye Shadow- I'm hoping these black and white eye shadows live up to the 24HR promise they make.

6) NYC New York Color Smooch Proof Lip Stains and Intense Lip Color - These colors look very pretty. I'm planning to do a NYC Haul video with all the makeup soon. I'll make sure to provide some swatches. 
 

I featured these photos on my new dripthat account. dripthat is an awesome new app that I've been enjoying playing with because of it's neat features. I can post a photo or video and I can either make it public or choose who gets to see it. Also, I can choose to have the photo up anywhere from 2 minutes up to 90 days. Unlike instagram, dripthat also lets me upload various photos at once and create a cool slide show. Fun stuff! I'm a total tech head so I always love to keep up with new fun apps. You guys should check it out because it has a community where you can follow your friends. 

There you have it! All fun new products I'm just waiting to review. It's always good to enjoy what you do and boy do I love playing around with makeup.

Beanies, candles, wallets, lip care, comfy clothes. Some unique, some to keep your warm, some to make you smell good. I could personally vouch for everything below.

Happy Holidays my dears!

So many statement pieces to have your friend or that special girl in your life feel royal, They even have crowns!

Too See more, head on over HERE.


2) Boy Meets Girl

You may have seen BMG on some of your favorite celebrities throughout the years, I'm really loving the Boy Meets Girls for Nordstrom collection. Edgy with a touch of urban (hence the rad sweats). I think any of the peices would make a thoughtful gift for a true fashion babe.

See the collection HERE.


3) Think Geek - Unicorn Wallet

Whenever I am in a jam and can't think of a gift to get someone I can ALWAYS count on Think Geek. They have the most awesome array of pretty much anything you can think of.

Ladies love unicorns, this is no secret. For only $20 you can own this beautifully detailed wallet, those touches of gold on white are EVERYTHING.

4) Bath & Body Works Candles

RUN! Bath & Body works is currently having their 2 for 22 sale on their 3 wick candles. I own many of these and they make superb gifts. Whenever a need a pick-me-up or feel stressed, I light one of these and once the aroma hits the air I start to feel a bit better. Sugar, spice and everything nice, it seems like there is limitless smells to pick from.

5) Burt's Bees Lip Care. 

Burt's Bees is a classic lip care line and you can always count on these products based on their quality. The products I posted below make great stocking stuffers. Another thing that's convenient is they already come in a box that's wrapped like a gift. Say goodbye to these annoying chapped winter lips.

Tis the season to stay warm. Scarves are a great gift because not only do they keep you warm, but they have the power to make an entire outfit if you buy the right one. Beautiful colors and prints can be found at Zappos.

Hello Nubians,


Seems like The Simpsons have been all the rage lately. Remember earlier this year when I spoke about The Simpsons x Baby Milo? Now we have other awesome collaborations including creative tees at Threadless and Bobby Fresh. Looks like this all American family is in high demand. 

Now something a bit more for the ladies. Our favorite blue haired beauty and mother of 3 Marge is getting a make over and you can too!  MAC Cosmetics is launching a collection to celebrate The Simpsons 25th anniversary at  San Diego Comic Con. Rumors are the collection will be sold only 1 day on June 26th at MAC's Gaslamp location. 

You all know what this means right? If you're at the San Diego Comic Con, Go! Go! Run! The collection includes nail stickers, eye shadows, lip glosses and lashes. In the photo teaser you can also see a Springfield color theme.

In a press release I read, MAC included a cute and quirky quote from Marge about her favorite product...

"I must say that Lisa’s Spikes really works well with my skin tone and of course, Beehive Blue complements my hair perfectly"

For anyone who's not able to attend Comic Con, the collection will become available online August 28th and hit stores September 4th.

On another note, I think the packaging is totes cute! Are you looking forward to the MAC x The Simpsons?

Hey Nubians,

For my Lip Color of the Week I decided to review 3 colors from NYC New York Color Expert Last collection with launched Spring 2014 with 20 shades. I have been using Coralista, Snowcone and Smooch. You'll find a lip color for every occasion in this collection and it's an exciting line for Summer.

See the swatches below. To sum things up in a few words, I recommend you try these lipsticks out. They're fun and refreshing. For 1.99 each lipstick, it's definitely worth picking up a few shades.

Watch the video for more details and subscribe to my channel HERE.





Which of these lipstick colors is your favorite?

Hello Nubians,

For the love of makeup, I'm kicking off a beauty "Lip Color of the Week" segment on my blog and YouTube channel (Make sure to subscribe here) and I've started off by reviewing Lancôme Lip Lover #356 Belle De Rouge which is a Cherry Pink. Ideally I'd like you to watch the video but here and some quick things I can tell you about this metallic tube of goodness.

My experience and thoughts of Lancôme Belle De Rouge lip gloss.


  • It's a 3 in 1 elixir that gives you shine and moisture.
  • In my personal experience it delivers on its 8 hr moisture promise.
  • It doesn't feel sticky or gross like a lot of lip glosses do.
  • The pigment of this color is lovely and I was pleasantly surprised. 
  • Lancôme does a great job with the packaging, it's on par. Very appealing and sleek.
  • Doe footed applicator is nice and makes for easy application. 
  • Provides you with a nice shimmery finish. 


In the photos below you'll see me wearing the gloss.







Thanks for watching and make sure to check back in for next weeks new lip color review!

Hey Nubians,

It's nice to have weather where you can loosen up a bit. I think the best kind of weather you can wish for is when you're able to wear long sleeves and still show your legs without being cold = PERFECTION.



My friend Jasmin gifted me the vintage top I'm wearing which she got at Buffalo Exchange. Besides the fact that red is my favorite color, I adore the stylish gal on the top... I even have a fringe jacket similar to the one she's wearing! The fringe literally popping out the top makes it that much cooler... a great, unique find. Makes me think of Vintage Vogue. 


Wearing: Vintage top from Buffalo Exchange, skirt by Hobbs, Cassette socks by Mossimo, flats by Express. 

How rad are these Cassette tops? Retro vibes.



I made a fun short outfit video below. Enjoy and subscribe to my YouTube channel HERE for more.

Hey Nubians,

I was sent a few products from the Aveda Heart Lands Collection a few weeks back and was so excited to try them out. 

It's always satisfying to know you're using quality products. I can always count on Aveda to carry merchandise that's infused with plant and fruit waxes and feel nice on my skin. It's good and important to know what you're putting on your face ladies!!! C'mon y'all.

I kind of created this look by improvising, it was fun and I was happy with the results. A bit heavy on the eyes and neutral lips. The Heart Lands collection has nomadic inspired eyes and rich colors.

To learn how I got these results step by step please watch my video tutorial which you'll find in this post.

Hello My Beautiful Nubians! 

A few weeks ago I walked into a drugstore and purchased 2 Revlon "Just Bitten Kissable" Balm Stains. I fell IN LOVE with them and felt the need to share my experience with you. I have tried other lipstains before but wasn't fully satisfied with their long term wear. 

Color: Adore Adoree 055
I was looking for a medium toned color. Dark, but not quite there yet. This has become one of my favorite colors to wear. It compliments my skin tone and last a hours without retouching. Even when I don't retouch the color never fully fades it just gets a bit lighter... I like the thought of feeling like I never have a naked lip.

Color: Crush Beguin 005
Dark and seductive, I've definitely been rocking this color when I feel a bit feisty... it's SEXY. A great color to add to your makeup collection for winter and its durable. The pigmentation is lovely.

Reasons you may want to try this product: 
  • Unlike a lot of lipstains which are usually drying, this is a balm stain which is excellent for "Winter dry lips". It keeps my lips pretty and moisturized. 
  • The tip on the balm stain reminds me of a Crayola! You can check it out HERE. I find it easier to apply this way.
  • They have 12 pretty shades available at only $8.99
  • The pigmentation is good. 
  • The balms are retractable, goodbye sharpener!
  • I wouldn't recommend something I didn't really enjoy.
I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know if you end up trying any of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains out!
