Rihanna's RiRi Woo Review

Hello Angels,

If you were like most makeup junkies you entered the standing room in the beginning of the month to pick up RiRi Woo.  I have to say this colIabo was music to my ears.  This limited edition color was sold online in the black MAC bullet case with RiRi written on the side.  It was also sold at her recent concert.  Needless to say it sold out quickly.

The color is a pinker,slightly bluer,Red than MAC's own Ruby Woo. It is a retro matte that will look great on many skin tones. Don't worry angels if you missed it, you will have more chances to add this pretty to your stash. You will even be able to pick one up as a Christmas gift for yourself or someone else. It will then be in than pretty little pink casing along with some other goodies Princess RiRi has put together. All in all a welcome addition to my stash.....may even be back up worthy.

MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection

Hi Angels,

I received an invite to preview the new MAC Marilyn Monroe collection. I took my business partner to the festivities on September 27th. We reserved spots for the 7:30 time slot. There were to be drinks and appetizers served. As guests, we would be able to purchase and get a first look at the collection. The collection was then released everywhere else on October 4th.

Maybelline Color Tattoos 24hr

Hi Angels!

Please check out Maybelline's Color Tattoos- Colors from  left  to right Audacious Asphalt, Edgy Emerald, Tenacious teal and Fierce and Tangy.  They are similar to MAC paint pots. The colors I have do have a little shimmer but not enough to disrupt another color for layering purposes.

They go on smoothly and come in more colors that I will be checking out.  And for the price, they can't be beat.  Please be sure to check them out at your local drugstore or beauty supply.

Happy Hauling!!

The truth about concealer

Hello Angels!!!


I wanted to write a quick not about concealer. In order to choose a concealer you would need to do the same thing as when you choose foundations. (See previous post)
As far as color you need to determine what it is you want your concealer to do.  Let us take undereye circles for example:


For a more natural look you need to use something with a yellow tone for lighter skinned individual and orangey colors for darker skinned beauties. For my everyday look I would go one shade lighter than my foundation. When I want a more dramatic look I might blend out an even lighter shade underneath the eye. I would also match the finish of concealer to that of my foundation.  Concealer is definitely something you should try on. Please do not be scared to try different shades to get your desired effect and shade.

Creating a Celestial Foundation!!!!

Hello Angels!


When speaking to so many women, one of the most frequently asked questions is. “How do I find a good foundation to match my skin?” Believe it or not this is not just a problem for women of color. The most important thing is to not look like you have a mask on. Makeup is meant to enhance and make you look your best.  We will attack this topic by addressing these three topics. They are 1) skin type, 2) finish/coverage, and 3) undertones.


Skin Type:


1. Oily – might benefit from matte finishes to control oil.
2. Combination- has different zones of skin types on the face. This skin type can use different types of foundation depending on whether you are more oily or dry.
3. Dry- better with liquid or cream to somewhat hydrate the skin
4. Normal-can use any foundation


Finish/Coverage:


1. Matte- no shine allowed . Great for someone with oily skin. It also works on normal skin.
2. Dewy-gives a healthy glow. Not ideal for oily skin
3. Natural- looks like you but better. Neither dry or dewy


Undertones:


1. Cool- has a mixture of blues and reds. Skin goes well with silver jewelry
2. Warm- yellow/red undertones. Skin goes well with gold jewelry.
3. Neutral- can go either way


Coverage:


1. Sheer- the lightest coverage. It is used to even skin out but not to cover imperfections.
2. Medium- what the majority of people use. It covers some imperfections.
3. Full coverage- is thick and opaque. This covers most all imperfections.


If all else fails go to your local makeup counter and ask to be color matched. Don’t be afraid to try and look at your makeup outside the store. Be sure and bring an objective person with you and trust your gut.


Until later My Angels!




P.S......I would be happy to answer any of your questions.
