2008 Politically Pretty Challenge!....

Friday, October 03, 2008

Hi Cousins!!

My inspiration for the 2008 Politically Pretty Challenge was to create a face of hope, promise and change. I wanted the makeup and the expressions to convey the message of a new day is 'a coming!!! Intially, I was a Hillary Clinton supporter and even though I'm not that sure on Barack as politician I believe in his spirit and his plan. Yes We Can!!

Plus I got it BAD for Ms. Michelle Obama...that women is fierce!!!! lol!

You think Tyra would be proud of me? I was trying show "hope" in the eyes! "Smile with your eyes", she says...
And in the spirit of current times...The recession, no gas, and being broke...All the products I used are DRUGSTORE:

Face:

Burts Bees Tinted Facial Moisterizer in Dark

HIP Bronzer in Radiant

Milani Blush in Luminous

Eyes:

N.O.T.D:Sephora By O.P.I. Metro Chic....

It arrived yesterday.The infamous Sephora by O.P.I. Metro Chic.I took one look at it and shook my head. "It looks like pond water...that color is not going to be cute on me." But, I decided put it on and do a N.O.T.D. so that my RG cousins would see.

I'm not crazy about it. This is two coats and it went on smooth. Still looks like pond water on me. I don't understand the chic-ness of the gray polish but I lot of people don't understand the chic-ness I believe in navy blue polish.:)

Judge for yourself. Right now, Metro Chic is sold out on Sephora.com....

Watching TV...

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

You ask where has your cousin been since Sunday? I've been watching TV. And no I don't have the cable back on even though Charter is paid in full and stalking me to reconnect....







My mom has been driving me crazy to get a digital converter box for my TV before 2009 so at least I can watch the basic channels and the news. So, Saturday she comes over and brings a one of those boxes that they have been talking a hole in everyone head about on TV. We hooked it up to antenna, programmed it and now I got about 15 digital channels to watch, with CLEAR picture and sound. The box is like a digital cable box with the guide and everything. It's like having free digital TV with no Cable channels!! lol!






The only downside is that you basically are stuck with CBS,NBC,UPN,ABC,MY Network,and about 5 PBS'.Depending on where you live....And when the screen "tiles" you can't call Charter or Time Warner and cuss them out about it.







AND...if you are a HGTV,DIY, FOOD network junkie. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. YOU CANT GET THOSE CHANNELS!











This is a awesome way to cut out a cable or satellite bill and just watch regular ole' TV like we use to back in 1982.:)












Check the this site out and apply for the coupon to get your box. You going to need that coupon because they run like 60.00 and up. My Mom got mine from HHGregg for $2.00 after the coupon.

N.O.T.D:Zoya Indigo...

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Hi All! This is my first ever use of Zoya polishes( via a MUA Swap) and so far I like it. I heard the word on the street is that they flake after a day.I've only been wearing Zoya Indigo for 3 hours so I can get on that just yet. I also got another color in that swap I'll N.O.T.D., too.:)

Inside

Outside
Sorry if the polish is a bit messy. I was watching a great documentary on PBS about Ronald Reagan and his presidency.
I AM A HISTORY NERD.:)
I have something very similiar in Maybelline's Acoustic Azure. Just without the sparkle.
