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!

So we are one day away from the last  month of the year, and o my goodness hasn’t it been one. This year has been full, unexpected, crazy, you got an event I got a word to describe it. It’s crazy so much stuff went down this year I would have never expected. I went to the zoo in Berlin, met John Legend, Megan B chopped off ALL her hair, I hosted my first party and best of all we developed Lipstick Mixtapes. Whoa! and that’s not all   the  bad went down too, I got a flat tire on the side of the road this weekend (thanks Drew and Steve), Micheal Jackson died, my cousin went back to prison, and the recession is still hitting hard. But in spite of it all God has been a fence around me everyday. I am so thankful for all that has happened and even some things that haven’t happen. We never know just how our day is going to go let alone our year. It is filled with so many  expected and unexpected turns. I’m coming to learn that It really is what it is, and i just hope that all the cards will fall in my favor. As I  celebrate the ending as I welcome what is new, I hope that this year will go down as my best year yet.  I encourage everybody  if you haven’t already done something you want to do go for something, do something if it impacts no one else but you, you did it and that should make it all worth it.

One of  our goals with Lipstick Mixtapes is not only to teach and show how to be  beautiful on the outside, but first and foremost on the inside. In so many communities and profoundly our own, women and now young girls are sad, upset, and MEAN! We don’t know why, maybe something  happened that  caused this attitude, but one thing  we realize for sure is that it needs to stop and it has to start with GIRLS that’s right girls, they’re not lil women they are children, and they need role models in the home and commuinty to show them and be an example of how to be strong, confident and Pleaseant. I know we can’t solve all the worlds problem let alone every lil girl we meet, but one thing we can do is SMILE and show a child that it’s never  cool to be mean and rude.

We hope we can inspire, and generate some hype about cool new products, what’s going on in the makeup world and share with you cool vids that we will be putting together for those who are new to makeup and all the old vets in the game, there’s always something new to be learned! Stay tuned….
