How Cheeky....

Long ago( maybe about six years ago) I was not a blush girl. I didn't even know how to apply it. Me the makeup addict DID NOT know what color I should use. It wasn't until on a "wanderbaout" in Walgreens with "Soror Morgan" that I fell for blush. She,the former beauty pageant queen/the realest girly-girl I know, picked up a plum color from the Cover Girl display and said "Buy This". We went back to apartment where she explained I should smile and apply at the apples of my cheeks. It worked wonders for my lack of cheekbones. These days,I am blush fanatic, always trying different shades and ways I can illuminate my face.Here are my top TEN blush favs:

Loreal Blush Delice in Front Page Peach-From the Photomagique 2006 story.has been compared to NARS Orgasm.

Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss in Marigold- a bronzy cheek gloss for a pretty glow.I wear it in the winter when the wind is blowing for extra face protection.

Loreal Blush Delice in Ginger Snap-From the Loreal Pink Panther color story with Beyonce. Gorgeous golden brown with peach highlights.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Soft Plum-One the first of the mousse blushes from the Dream Matte Mousse collection. I bought because one of Maybelline African American Models was wearing the color in the display.

VS Sexy Cheeks Mosaic in Champagne-From the old VS makeup line. Great over a DMM Soft Plum Blush.

Rimmel Soft Blush in BabyKiss-When you first see it,it looks too pink but gives a great flush to the cheeks

Loreal HIP Blendable Blushing Creme in Tickled-It's almost cranberry colored. I like to pair it with the new berry lips for fall.

Loreal Touch On Colour in Golden Amplifier-From Loreal story with Beyonce wearing all the rainbow on her face! It's just what it says it is,gold with a punch.

mark. good glowing in Love Glow-A delicious pink found in the Falling in Love Palette from 2003.

MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Breezy-Intense fuschia pink that I have apply lightly and I love it dearly!

What are your favorite blushes and what your secret to a fabulous cheeks?

Super Rave of mark. Bohista Suedeshine and Suedeshadow Quads

Last week I told ya'll about my recent purchase from mark. Bohista Suedeshadow and Suedeshine Quads. Well I must say that I'm extremely over the top in LOVE with these fab finds! First the Suedeshine Quad consist of:

Rebel: a deep bronze color

Sophisicate: a golden shimmer color

Swinger: a light raspberry shade

Hipster: a bronze with red accents shade

They all go on sheer but with lots of punch. They smell delicious( like cotton candy I think) and they even have sweet taste to it. I worn every shade since Thursday and proclaimed this as my best Fall Beauty find, so far!! The only thing I would change is that it needs some kind of mirror, it's slightly gooey, and it has to applied with a lipbrush which is not included. You also have layer it lightly for your selected intensity. I still highly recommend it at only $9.

The Suedeshadow Quad is includes:

Exotic- a red tinted bronze

Nomadic- a champagne colored shimmer

Ecletic- a copper shimmer

Chic- a maroon shimmer

Sounds like "what a combination"! Well, they go on smooth with good color. To me they are not sheer at all. All of shadows work together or alone.My fav out the bunch is Nomadic which when applied to the brow bone is stunning. It doesn't look over done. My only negative would be a mirror needs be included. Suedeshadow Quad is only $9 too.

Please add these pallettes to your Fall list!!

Birthday Bumps and Bruises

As you may know my uneventful birthday was this weekend. I was just waiting for the day to end as usual. It didn't go by without its up and downs. My oldest twin, Bubba Boo, had a fever. He runs fevers at least one a month. Every time a take him to the doctor and they say he has some infection( throat,sinus,stomach) and gives him an antibiotics. Well, his father says that he ran fevers like that when he was young and stayed in the hospital. He never knew why though. I'm going demand that he is sent to a specialist of some sort because he is not very good patient when he is sick and he's such a dramatic actor! Even after the fever broke he was playing the victim with his Grandma. I told her that Bubba Fat is going to be a star one day:) My youngest twin, Brownie Pecan, was well mannered and content and seemed to enjoy our trip to Kanpai in Spartanburg. But you can't take him in a store because he's kleptomanic. He touches everything and there is rarely a time that we don't walk out of store and he has something at the bottom of the buggy or stroller.He's strategist, he'll be a good with money one day because he knows what he's doing!

I got some cash, birthday cards(I love getting cards!),and two DVD's, Madea Goes to Jail and Why Did I Get Married. I have all of the Madea movies now. If there is anything that can put me in a good mood is a Madea DVD. Tyler Perry is so talented and Madea reminds me of Granny, Big Granny,and Aunt Lib all in one.

Only thing that I asked of God for my birthday was for my family and sanity to be intact. Those who know what's going on in my life right now, well I'm not "fighting" anymore because I won battle #2 on Friday. Hallelujah!!

Thanks to all of my family and friends and fellow blog pals for my well wishes for b'day!!!


Love you all and may God bless you beyond your wildest dreams!!!

Love you
