Home Sweet Upstate South Carolina...

I'm back home from the mini-vacay to Chucktown. It was cool but I'm definitely a "Upstate person" as my friends would call me.

It was hot as hell and then it would rain like straight hell. So I was wet with sweat and wet with rain.

I did however cool off with this lovely beverage at the Farmer's market...
And I was cute in this Saturday night ensemble for the big girls...

Essentials for the Weekend!...

Cousins and divas, I'm going away for a short "holiday" this weekend to the great city of Charleston, South Carolina! I haven't been to Chucktown in like 10 years. And this is the first time in five years, I'm going some where other than Charlotte or Atlanta, which neither never feels like a vacation spot to me. I'm super excited!

I actually found a place in Spartanburg( Trade Secrets in the Westgate Mall) that sells Essie Nail Lacquer. I picked up Shorty Pants from the Neon Collection and I'm rocking it for the weekend.

I also threw this in my handbag for the weekend. Lumene Express Touch Cleansing Wipes have helped me so much this week. I've been serious worn out when I come home from work and I just use one of these and it gets the makeup off(Because I will sleep with makeup on in a minute). I wish they made this is in a bigger size!

Sally Hansen know they have step the game up in there lip product department( have you seen their "Lip Lab")!!! I've been rotating between the Comfort Shine Lip Glaze in Sugar Cookie and the Natural Butter Lip Shine in Fresh all week. There was no way I wasn't taking these with me to Charleston! They both feel yummy and smooth on the lips and give a sexy natural look to my pout for the summer.

Well...Pray for my traveling mercies and that this GPS thingy works and have a great weekend!!

Review:Cover Girl Blast Collection Eyeshadow Quad in Tropical Fusion....

Hi ya'll!! I finally purchased the new Cover Girl Blast Collection Quad in Tropical Fusion( top palette in the picture) and was super excited to use it. I love bright shadows but you know, I complain that I'm not very technique-y with colors. I feel I must break free that negativity!!!! And go and do what feels good when it come to applying my makeup...
With the flash(at 6:00 this morning): I did the blue the corners, the orange in the center of the lid and the yellow in the inner corners. The color payoff is HORRIBLE! It took about four layers just to get this color. All the colors are super sheer and I was using a Sonia Kashuk sponge applicator tipped brush so I could get the vibrancy. I put that brush down and went to work with a basic stiff eyeshadow brush. Nothing. Nothing like I thought it would be.
Without the flash.
Full face: I wasn't happy but I might try it wet. I don't know.
