Spring is Here!

2:55 PM, in

Hey beautiful people! The time is here, Spring is in our midst (even though we can't go nowhere) that means a new Fab Fit Fun Box! I love this box and I wanted to share what is in this season's box and if I liked any of the products. So FFF is a seasonal subscription box where you get to choose some products you want and others are randomly chosen. This box costs $50 every 3 months so it's not monthly and I love that. I personally love skincare and that's why I love this box because I can try products I normally won't buy because it cost too much. You get enough products and other cool things for the price of $50!



Hey, Beauties! If you follow me on my socials you see that I adore Fall. It is one of my favorite seasons! I love fall primarily for the fashion and the cool weather. I am not a summer heat fan so this

Hey, Beauties! Ok, so I am so in love with this company and their products. Their products cater to all women who are looking for a nude lipstick option. Any skin tone can wear them and that is one thing I love about this brand. Nobody is left out.


I decided to purchase a lipstick and a lip gloss. I love how subtle and moisturizing they are. They really made all of my nude lip dreams come true! The products came in nicely packaged with a postcard and a nice note. I love their mission and their message! So inspiring.


Mented #5 in the lipstick and Mauve Over in the lip gloss.





I was so excited when I saw the package in the mail. The shipping was fast and I was pleased with the entire experience. It's amazing to be able to find nude lipsticks and glosses that work well with my rich skin tone. I wear these two together or separate almost every day. Check them out you may find something that will work for you. This is not a sponsored post so I am for real about this recommendation! =D!! And when you purchase from them they give you a code where people can click and buy something for themselves. You get 15% off of your first purchase when you use the code below.

Summer Glow

Hey, Beauties! Trying to find that Summer time fine glow this year? well, I'm still looking too. lol. I haven't posted on here in such a long time I wanted to peek in and say HEY! Things have been difficult in terms of running this blog. I have nobody to take my photos and I am having issues with the lighting. I would buy soft lights but this girl is BROKE! I depend on natural light for my photos. Natural light is so beautiful and really brings the photos to life. These were taken with very little natural light, I have a very bright lamp in my room. I am just trying to find other solutions and I am also stuck on what to post! You ever have those moments where creativity is just not flowing? yeah, that's me! This summer I am trying to drink more water and use some highlight to bring some glow to this melanin.




 Enjoy your summer! 💖



Hello, Beauties! I don't usually wear makeup but when I do, it looks like I barely have any on. That is actually the look I am going for since I am not a glam kind of girl. I touch my face all day and I work with children so you already know my face is going through.  Sometimes I do like to feel even prettier than I already am because I believe that makeup should enhance what you have not cover it all up. But that's just me. Also, I know some who do not wear makeup at all and that is cool, whatever floats your boat! Being that I am a darker girl foundation and other makeup products can be hard to find. Especially since I am on a budget, I will not spend all of my paychecks on makeup. So I came across some amazing products that I love and I wanted to share the wealth!

F.A.C.E.


 I love every one of these products! They really blend well with my skin complexion and brighten up my face. I have uneven skin tone so the concealer and foundation are a great pair. Most of these I bought from Target, Forever 21, Ulta, and beautyWorks. MaryKay is the most expensive product in this photo but I do love the formula and how well it matches. Clinique also has wonderful foundation if you want to go cheaper. I wouldn't buy the MaryKay brand again since I found Clinique had something to match my tone.

E.Y.E.S.


Now we are onto the eyes! So again I don't pile on the eyeshadow I put a dab here and there. When I do wear it I try not to make it too noticeable but these shades work well with rich darker skin tones. The mascara and eyeliner are possibly the best ones I have tried. I haven't tried them all but these right here get the job done and do not hurt my budget. All the brushes I use are ELF they have great brushes for cheap.

L.I.P.S.


If someone were to ask me what my favorite feature was it would be my lips. I really take good care of them lol. I hate dry cracked up lips and mine get so dry so quickly so I always have chapstick on me. These lipsticks and glosses work well with my skin tone and are wonderful neutral options. The Mary Kay one does not come up as bright as it looks in the bottle. These are my go-to shades if I want to spice up my look. You can barely tell that I am wearing these and they compliment my face well.

Finding neutral shades of makeup was so hard for me and it all started when I was in a wedding a few years ago. My shade was nowhere to be found in stores and I was not about to spend my entire paycheck on a little tube of foundation. Praise be to God I didn't spend much but it was discouraging. The makeup world is starting to expand their shades and that is exciting. All shades are beautiful and should be represented. from the palest to the darkest there should be something for everyone.
