Don't Tell Nobody...

So this morning, I wake up late. I was mad as hell because I was running late. To make myself feel a "little better I put on my favorite earrings( in the pic below, old pic below:))and dugout Black Radiance Eyeshadow Quartet in Retro Chic( below). That deep periwinkle blue is pretty and matched my fav earrings perfect. Then I sprayed in Lancome's Miracle and was ready for the rushed day ahead....but...










At work today...a co-worker was like "I love your hair, who done it?". So I said, "I did." Then this broad says,"Really? It's so pretty, but don't tell people you do your own hair." So I say, "So I suppose to make up a name of someone and lie, seriously?" Then this broad says, "I would." Then she left.

I mean, I do my hair out of NECESSITY and pickyness. Back when I was in the Rock/QC("Queen City", Charlotte), I had a college friend who also had a cosmetologist license who did my hair. I called her my "weaveologist" because that chick could stitch some tracks real serious. She also could make bond weave look like a stitch. And she would not charge me out the pocket for any of it. She would give me tips on putting my own hair in and how to do it. So I started to do it myself. And I always get mad compliments. Hell, I get people asking me to do some "kitchen sink" hair. It saves me money and gas and time. I also hate sitting in the salon, the smells, the gossip, the hustle man, and slow ass hairdressers, get on my nerves.

As far as I'm concerned...I did my hair and I'm not ashamed to tell folk.

Thanks for reading the vent!:)

Weekend Rantings and Ravings...

Bullets and more bullets...

-I'm training for job across from SRMC( Spartanburg Regional Medical Center) and I see so many medical workers each day, with those cute scrubs on. I think scrubs are so cute, I wish I could stand to be in a hospital or health care so I can wear them. They look so comfy. Scrubs even make those horrid Crocs shoes look good.

-I'm wearing Burberry Weekend Women today. I always thought it smelled like the Burberry Weekend for Men. Plaintiff used to wear it and tell me that I smell like him. I still want the Burberry Summer. I smelled that one day in Dillards. Do you know I have not had new fragrance ALL SUMMER?

-Have ya'll heard that Jane Magazine is going under?

-I need a trip to B&N for some heavy magazine reading...

-Why did my kids remind me to put "hair grease" on their hair on Friday morning?

-I'm going to stop eating after 9, because it gives me nightmares. Or maybe I need to stop sleeping on the couch.

-I'm in a beauty/fashion depression. How am I going to afford everything I want for the Fall?

She reassured me that if she has fought any fight this is her Heavyweight Champion fight and she wasn't giving up for anything. The folks over at Nubar asked me to review their new Support The Cure Collection for aiding cancer research and helping those fighting for there lives against cancer. The kit includes:

Pink Cami

Rural Glamour, Cover Girl...

This morning, I thought I would go for a "black eye", not "smokey" just black eyeliner and black shadow. I dug out Cover Girl's 1-kit eyeshadow in Black Tie from the Queen Collection. It's more dark grey than black but I patted it on with the brush for more intensity. I like it alot and it got me thinking about Cover Girl. Usually when I go in a drugstore or Target. I skip on by it, unless there is something new from the Queen Collection. I'll admit I'm not to keen on the packaging. You can't try most of it because its all sealed up. So I went on their website, which is very informative and fun.




These are some colors that the site selected for me after I signed up and included my skin coloring, hair color, eye color, and color palette:

From the left:

Eye Slicks in Glistening Gold

WetSlicks in Tangerine Splash

Outlast LipShine in Antique Rose

1-kit Shadow in Forever Fig

Perfect Point e/l in Grey Khaki

Boundless Color in Fuchsia Fatale

They look good on the screen but will the look good in person. I'll have a review later on!

Smooches!

Friday's Stuff...

Morning! Yes, I'm up this morning blogging because I represent a small majority of people...I'm a morning person. Having two chil'ren will do that to you. But after a yummy breakfast and a tall cup of Sumatra brew, I'm ready to rock. On Wednesday, I picked these fun earrings at Linda's Avon. I think they are so cool. They look like something my mom wore back in 1983 with one her fantastic hand knitted off shoulder sweaters and Chic jeans.



I think L'Oreal has done a little of a overhaul of their HIP line. They been adding new things like gel liners and new glosses and had tons of clearance back in May. I noticed that they changed the colors of their Illuminating Highlighter. The one of the left is the old one, has more bronze tones and the one of the right is the new one, more gold tones. I like both but prefer the old.

Did you notice? My camera's back in effect!! Thank ya' Jesus! lol!

Have a splendid day and great Friday! I'm off to get another can of Blue Diamond Almonds in Wasabi and Soy Sauce.
