FOTD 9/10/12 Vampy Look

Ok! So I got the memo that Vampy Lips are HOT this season! Let me tell you I've been stepping out the box trying these new looks! A great way to 'TAKE BACK DIVA' is to do something outside of the norm, right?! I've always been so self-conscious about my full lips that I never really wanted to draw much attention to them. Now that' I've been experiment with new things, I feel free to do whatever...sort of! lol

This makeup look may seem a bit familar, so let me explain! I was watching the Love and Hip Hop Reunion show...don't ask! lol And I saw the beautiful Ms Erica Dixon rocking a vampy look. I was so inspired that I decided to give it a go. And NO this look is not exactly like hers, nor did I attempt to fully imitate it. I just took the elements that drew me to the look and did my spin on it. I'm still trying to figure out who her MUA was that night, but whoever he/she was did a great job.

Oh yeah..almost forgot! I get the most questions about the lipsticks I wear so this look was created by Wet N Wild's Vamp It up and MAC Heroine. Great combo IMHO and I will be rocking it again! :)

I'm going to try to make my next FOTD one with a list of what I used..MAYBE a step by step one day..who knows? :)

Much love! xoxo

FOTD 9/7/12 Retro Glam

Every woman needs to have that perfect RED LIPSTICK in her collection. This one just so happens to be my favorite! Wet-n-Wild's Cherry Picking. I had my doubts about this lipstick initially and was originally hesitant. I finally decided to dive and and I'm not at all disappointed.

I had to top the whole look off with a neutral eye, retro hairstyle, and a flower for a pseudo pinup look. This is also a cute look to go with my new specs. I thought it would be overpowering, but not-so. I'm happy. :)

Hopefully, soon in the near future I'll be posting more FOTD's along with what I used for the full face. Thanks for stopping by. :)
