I just have to say, I absolutely LOVE Rihanna's album cover art for LOUD!

Rihanna gets LOUD!

Hey Goddesses!


I finally got my hands on one. The elusive NAKED eye shadow palette from Urban Decay! ($44)

From UrbanDecay.com:

THIS is how Urban Decay does neutral! Far from a group of boring beige shadows, this long, lean, seductive case is packed with TWELVE gorgeous neutrals. Shades range from delicate champagnes to dark, gritty gunmetal, and feature FIVE NEW shades with names like Darkhorse, Virgin and Buck. We've also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte.

This gorgeous palette also comes with a mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion and a double ended 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero and Whiskey.







This is THE must have palette for Fall!

Love, Peace & Lip Gloss!

So sorry for the long absence. I had some camera issues but now I'm back and ready for the awesome holiday beauty season!

Hola Goddesses!

It’s that time again for my favorite holiday! Halloween! I love to get dressed up and celebrate with my friends. It is the one day that you can channel an alter ego or live a fairy tale.  This year I plan to be the Queen Bee! I can’t wait! I love to dress in fun costumes but if you are into the dark and scary looks, you will love these new nail polishes by OPI to compliment your look.




Go Goth!

 



Unripened

 



Nevermore

   Nevermore is a blackened burple (blue purple) and glitters like a starry night after sunset.





Sanguine

 



Obscurity

 Obscurity is a chalkboard like black matte shade that is perfect for that evil witch look. This shade dried uber fast and was easier to work with than most mattes.

Hey Goddesses!

I wanted to share my skin care regimen for those that may have the same skin type as me.

Bare Skin

(In this photo, the only cosmetics I am wearing are Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black and Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss in Super Sparkle)

I have combination skin that is acne prone and can leave scarring. Here is my daily and nightly skin care regimen:

AM

1. I wash my face with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and a Buf-Puf Facial Sponge to exfoliate and get my skin nice and smooth.

2. I then apply Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye cream all over my eyes.

3. I apply  Neutrogena Moisture Oil Free Formula with SPF 15 on my face and neck.

4. If I have any blemishes, I apply Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment on them to treat them during the day.

PM

1. Before bed, I remove any eye make-up with Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover and a round cotton pad.

2. Then I remove any face make-up with Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes.

3. Again, I wash my face with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.

4. Apply my Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye cream.

5. Apply my Neutrogena Light Night Cream on my face and neck.

6. I then use a small amount of a retinol treatment I got from my dermatologist. A similar product is philosophy on a clear day retinol clarifying lotion. This helps brighten my skin and eliminate past acne scarring. This stuff works! Mr. Bronze Goddess (or would it be Mr. Bronze God?) always compliments me on how much "that stuff has got you glowing"!

7. If I have any blemishes, I put Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion on them and they are gone by the next morning.

I know I use almost all Neutrogena products but I do that because they were recommended by my dermatologist and they have been working for me for the past two years. In my last semester of college, my skin went crazy with the stress of 18 credit hours of school, working 40 hours a week and volunteering at the Boys and Girls club. I thought I could handle it on my own, but failed and finally was able to get an appointment with my awesome dermatologist and I was clear within 6 weeks.  Now, I only occasionally get breakouts which I am so grateful for.
