Fashion/Beauty Soundtrack of the Week!

This week's Soundtrack is CeCe Peniston's I'm Moving On.

How appropriate...considering that one FB is still calling( but blocks the number and hangs up...how mature).

But this album takes me back to when I was sophomore in college and I was in to this dude named JP who simply beautiful but I could focus on a relationship because the issues I was having with my parents, my grades, my newly found popularity(lol! I had just pledged) and my grandmother's death. Every song on this CD was me and JP. Even "Last To Know" when he started to see this Delta and everybody was like" yeah, he be up in Phelps Hall on the 3rd floor ALL THE TIME" How was I the last the know? I lived on the 2nd floor of P Hall! To "I'm Over You", one of the best breakup ballads of all time in my book, that I would play over and over again. But funny thing about me and JP is that we never stop hooking up...over the next six years...til he went to the State P on possession and distribution situations. I'll pour out a sprinkle of MAC kitchmas piggie for ya....:)

Friday Five Plus One and Nouveau Nappyhead( All in One!)

Hey all...this needs to be said...

"The Devil thought he had me...but uhh...ruhhh...!!!!!"from Curtis Payne "Tyler Perry's House of Payne" and Poppy from"Tyler Perry's Why Did I get Married"

There it goes.

Okay now back to beauty. I'm starting a new segment called Friday Five Plus One. It's my top five goodies from the week. Even since organization my makeup, I've ran up on so much stuff I wasn't using and now I'm using. Here's this week's Friday Five Plus One:

Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask-I just bought this last week and love what miracles it did on my face after one hot ass Carolina day.

mark.The Body Squad Bacne Spray- I get more shoulder acne than anything but this spray clears it up in a day.

PF Talc Free Mineral Wear Mascara- Miss Kim was right. This is a really great mascara with great brush which is a one sided brush with single comb on the other side. Confused? Go buy it!

NYC Eye 2 Eye Life's A Beach e/s- I like pink eyeshadow for some reason and I bought this like last year but it's still crazy funky.

Essie Nail Lacquer in Foot-loose- Kelton said" Mommy, your toes are purple" It's a great subtle fuschia that has stay on so well.

Essie Gloss-e in Fed Up- The wand's too long and it looks nothing like the color in the tube but has insane staying power, I like it...for some reason. Why can't never figure it out?:)



Nouveau Nappyhead no more? No...my hair is still "natural"( no chems natural) but I added to some tracks of wet and wavy yaky for a new look.

BET Awards Fashion Recap!...

Well...I only got to see about an hour of the BET Awards last night because I was at work. But in THAT hour, I saw ALOT!! And it ain't like it will not be on another 1000 times.My folks really know how to do "big thangs"! Including dress BIG for awards shows. There wasn't alot of holding back...like other awards shows. With BET awards everyone came in there own personal style. I love this dress Eva's wearing. It looks like I could put on flip flops with it and go. But I like her blond instead of black....
That's my Aunt Viv...and I ain't going let nobody to about her but me!!!
Tracee looked fantastic!!! I loved that orange...

Didn't Alicia look classic? And was I the only one who when watching the After Show noticed that they didn't do close up shots as she was interviewed but they did on Lil' Kim and Kelly Rowland?She gots to get her skin together...you got too much money to be broke out!!
Ciara's still doing her "grown-up"transition look. I like the dress....
Thumbs up for Jenn who won an awards for New Artist and has no record out yet...
What can I say...The best example of "I do me all the time" no matter what. The dress is Miss Bey to a T.
Did that dress look too tiny to me or was it just me? but the jewelry( that ring) was fierce!

Unveiling True Beauty...Mandisa Style!!! Part I

Remember Mandisa...American Idol fifth season diva with big faith and a big voice? Well, she has a new album dropping July 31 and the folks over at EMI/Sparrow dropped me a special copy of her single True Beauty that also featured the song Only The World.

Oddly enough, the song Only the World came at a good time today. I was feeling down about some things and I popped this Mandisa CD in and it was perfect timing. The song is soulful but light and inspirational. The "Aha" moment of the day!!! True Beauty is the perfect "get ready in the morning" song when you are having one of those days where nothing fits, nothing looks good on you and you can get that eyeliner right. It got me thinking about True Beauty and what I feel true beauty is. I got a list and I'm tweaking it, so I'll have it tomorrow!!!Again the CD is coming out July 31st and it's already doing big things on the charts and at Christian radio stations. Check it out at http://www.mandisaofficial.com/ and http://www.myspace.com/mandisa.

Ulta haul...a small one!

I told ya'll on Saturday, the "Krew" and I made a stop at Ulta...well me and D.Shannan. Everybody else were in different stores. I don't get to Ulta that often, since Greenville is a bit aways for me, especially in 1994 Corolla with raggedy A/C. No road trip is fun in that car not even the drive to work in the morning when it's cooler. Here's what's in the pic:

Covergirl Advanced Radiance Foundation in Toasted Almond- It's amazing...I've worn the same color in Covergirl Foundations for years. These were .49 a piece. I got two of my color two for my mom who wears Soft Sable.

Ulta Cheek Color in Afterglow- It looks very Nars Orgasm but darker and has a little glitter in it.

Ulta Cheek Cream in Playful- I love cheek creams and "rouge"!

Ulta e/s in Lustre and Rose Dusk
