Italia Vogue presents Vogue Black. A-MAZING! yes , yes, yes, yes the day all black girls dreamed for first we get a Disney Princess and now Vogue Black  Hallelujah. I know, I know, I know I can’t stop. This right here  makes me so happy i can’t take it. It gives  me so much hope for the now and the future when will countries and people see that WE

( Black people) are a market of individuals with so much taste, substance,beauty and quality to do everything God has purposed us to do and believe or not it really has nothing to with color we just happen to be black, we can do anything man! It just takes a few or to many unfortunate hurdles, road blocks and let’s be honest closed doors but we always come out, over and thru everything that some try to stop us with. Now I know some may say whatever that’s Italian Vogue whatever who cares well last time I check Miss Diana Ross a.k.a. Mahogany went her lil black a$$ right over to Italy and became a fashion icon in movie and real life. Which brings me to my motto of the year given to me by Yakira

” I Like Who Like Me” and if that’s Italian Vogue then Chile Boo I love me some Italian Vogue.  This brand has been celebrating the Black woman for as long as I can remember and if Diana did a movie there in the late 70′s well then damn that’s 30 years of Amour from a city many Blacks call home. I love Italy food, culture, men, shoes all of it .  and  I promise you I have a passports and my next stamp will have a cute black boot on it!

Inspiration of Diane Von Furstenburg fall 2010 fashion week show

In regard to fashion, I love that slogan: A MANS LIFE IN A WOMANS BODY.  It suggests androgyny and I’m all about that, it’s in my makeup as an Aries. And since I mention makeup…. Lets get this show on the road. Makeup Artist James Kaliardos took these exact words and painted them on the models faces for the Diane Von Furstenberg collection during Fashion Week 2010.

I love it! Hard eyes with a shimmer, contoured face with a pale lip, hard expression with soft hair. BALANCE. This couldn’t possibly come at a better time for me, as a makeup artist  I’ve been screaming lately that it’s time for makeup to evolve. Looks and eyeshadow styles are becoming dated… So its time to step it up. Go to your nearest makeup shop, grab a blending brush and paint on the darkest shimmery shadow you can find. If you call yourself fashion forward or are wanting to become more fashion aware and savvy then what better place to draw your inspiration than FASHION WEEK?

Andre Leon Talley

UHM, Yeah. And if andre Leon Talley is co signing your stuff… you have a dead give away you moving in the right direction. I know what MY makeup is gonna be looking like this Fall! Giving it to ya’ll early, Generating HYPE!

Purple Lab Cosmetics

purple lab

So last night our friend Brittany at Clumps of Mascara hosted a Purple Lab Cosmetics party. Lots of fun catching up and doing what we do best trying out new products. Can I say I really liked these products. It’s a full line from lipgloss to creme blush which is my favorite type blush. I like creme blush because  it works for both skin types especially oily skin. It  blends with the texture of your skin better hence making it look more natural and if you are a bit dry it makes the skin look a bit more supple and hydrated, that was my fav product all night.  The foundation was quite velvety and transfer resistant, although the color didn’t match my skin Dark was like a non tan white girl so you know it didn’t work for me but o well it’ll work on a client. i did like the texture and the matte finish was amazing.

Me trying out the pink “Cheek Implants” creme blush, at first it was peachy but as it warmed it turned to a beautiful peachy pink

Next thing i tried was the gloss can I just  say me and Brit were both in agreement that it was the tasty thing we had eaten all day. It was so good it had hoo-di-ah in it, something that’s suppose to help you not want to eat. The name of the gloss was “Huge Lips Skinny Hips” lol as if I need anymore thickness in my lips but o well it taste good.
