My Current Favorites

Hello, Everyone!!!.

 

I'm sorry I've been M.I.A lately but I've been putting my focus on job hunting this summer. I had two interviews so far but unfortunately  I was not offered the position. It has been a real learning curve for me but it hasn't stopped me from continuing my job search. I have faith that what is meant for me , will be for me. On another note, I can't believe the summer is half way through however I've  discovered  a few things that has become my summer favorites which I listed below.
 

1.Glamour: If you are unaware the September issue is the most coveted issue of the fashion year. Not only is the issue the biggest , it prepares you for the upcoming fall season. I've been wearing my hair in its natural state this summer and I've been looking for ways to wear my hair in the colder months. I am happy to see that hair accessories are in ,so I can adorn my fro with dazzling goods.

2. Movies & Chill: The Secret Lives of Pets because I am a big kid and every weekend my boyfriend always catches me watching cartoons,  so it was right up my alley.

Jason Bourne: I joked that Matt Damon may be too old for this series but it was actually good.
*spoiler alert they killed my girl Julia from Save the Last Dance which is one of my favorite teen movies 😐.

Now You See Me: This one was my boyfriend choice, although I didn't see the first one I actually liked.  If they make it into a trilogy I will go see it with him of course.

3. Adult coloring: There is a reason why children love to color and their parents as well. It is so calming and I honestly feel less stressed because my mind is not all over the place. I like to turn off my TV and just color away in complete silence.

4. Clutch: I like to call it my "throw it in the bag" clutch because I literally throw everything I need, just the bare minimum it comes in handy on date nights.

5. Highlighter: If you ever in Five Below you should check out their makeup section.  I've found this amazing highlighter that is perfect for wearing over your foundation or mixed in for all over glow.

6. Nail polish:  Like I've mentioned before I am on a job hunt and this grayish nude is the perfect color to wear to interviews or in my case all summer too.

7. Milani lip liner: I like to wear it as a lip color and sometimes I add gloss to the middle of my lips. It's the perfect lip color but better

8. Sonia Kashuk knockout eye shadow palette : I only wear neutral eye shadows so this palette is perfect. If you are like  me and need help with application, this palette shows you the way.

And lastly my fave sunnies for obvious reasons
*not a new fave  😎

 

Until next time,  XOXO

 Hello, Everyone!!!!

 

Today I wanted to show you some drugstore products that I've recently purchased from the brand Black Radiance. It is affordable makeup line that specifically caters to women of color. I discovered Black Radiance  a few months back when I was on the hunt for the perfect dupe to MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation. I found the perfect match with Black Radiance Color Perfect Foundation in the color Butter Scotch and I've used it ever since. Its blends in very well and feels very light on my skin. I had such good luck with the foundation that I figured I will try out their other face products.

 

 

 

I started my new collection with the True Complexion Soft Focus Finishing Powder in Golden Almond, Artisan Color Baked Bronzer in Gingersnap, True Complexion Custom Concealer in Light/Medium and the Concealer Stick in Light. You can not beat the pricing either, everything was less than $7. I can't wait to test out these fabulous products.
