Blonde, Sweat & Wine

This post is for a special gal who just needs a little makeup guidance! Being a girl definitely has its ups and downs but the best part, in my opinion, is getting all glammed up and feeling gorgeous! A sweet friend of mine wanted to know what essentials are needed to achieve a basic everyday look that is simple and won't break the bank but leaves you looking like a million bucks! I got ya girl!! My face essentials are also posted in this post but here's the nitty gritty! First off, get yourself a beauty blender! These things are definitely worth the buzz! To use, wet (yes, I said wet as in water!) the blender. This provides a smooth look, so get that thing under the water and squeeze! Then apply your foundation on the largest end for an all over face application and, if needed, apply to the narrow end to get in the smallest spaces like inner eye and around your nose. e.l.f Beauty Blender $5.00 Gives you a smoother look Another girl must have is a really good pa...

**This post started the morning of Tuesday but due to a terrible morning and long night at work, is concluding on Wednesday!**   It's only Tuesday... I'm just sayin'!  Being a glutton for punishment, I decided to pick up a dinner shift last night and schedule an appointment across town during morning rush hour for this morning. I've officially lost my mind and feel like I need to duplicate myself, one for day and another for night! Ha! One can dream! Even though I felt as if I needed an endless vat of coffee, I didn't want to appear as such so I mustered all of my energy and slapped some makeup on myself!

When I began writing this post, I was sitting at the airport in Orlando about to take a security test to obtain my badge. I had just acquired a j...

Dreading Monday...Oh, wait, today is my Friday and Sunday! Having a serving job is beneficial when it comes having days off during the week. You can actually get errands done on your day off! The last two days, I've been playing with my Maybelline "The Blushed Nudes" palette. Can't tell that I use this at all! Most Maybelline palettes have suggestions on what shades to use on which part of your eye. I used this quad suggestion: I was also really excited to receive my favorite mascara in the mail on Friday! This is the brand that I used to sell, but seeing as I am not a salesman by any means, I decided to just be a customer! This is the two-part mascara with the gel and the fibers. Obsessed!! So, this look is really quick, simple and light for work and day. Pretty sure it will be a go-to for the summer, maybe lighten it up with some of the light pink instead of the dark grey.   ..xobb
