Master of the Mix Orlando!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Last week in Orlando the  popular reality TV show Master of the Mix made it’s final stop in  our beautiful city and it brought out everyone ! Orlando’s very own Dj M-Squared is one of  the shows finalist and all of the  creative and most stylish crowd  came out  in full effect Saturday night to support him and to show how we do it down here! Can I tell you I was so proud,  just about everyone represented well! Makeup, Fashion and Glamor was on point, just about everyone  we  snapped looked great,  there were just a few that missed the memo and the mirror, #imjustsaying. So peep the pics and see how the  young, fashionable  and fabulous crowd represented !

This was one of my fav couples of the night. Their looks compliment each other to a T!   Her natural makeup  and hair look is perfect giving her  girly Bohemian chic look sexy sophiscatin and style.

These ladies are so on point! Natural Hair was in full effect! I love the color blocking on Miss Thang to the right, and her earrings! I die! Major cute. Both of these ladies brought their accessories game! I  absolutely love the fact that they got  made up, I see color on the lips which is this seasons trend, so many girls rock nudes which is great, but it nice to see a  colorful lip to  compliment  the outfits.

The mens! Yes Honey, they donned the wife beaters and baseball caps and grown man style was in full effect. #REFRESHING. The sweaters and button downs are  working for them,  I did a double take. I love how my man on the right went with color. Traditionally most guys opt for black, but these men embraced new mens style which is adding color, texture, and shape to the ensemble and they did well!

Girls, girls, Girls! This bunch is  absolutely adorable and sexy! I love the array of colors, everyone looks like they belong, they all represented well! Take note this is what LM is all about Makeup, Fashion, and Glamour and they did that!

He’s just  FINE!

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Yesterday Lipstick Mixtapes went out to the Palms International Hotel in Orlando, Florida to check out  Central Florida Natural Hair and Beauty Expo. It was an event bringing together many of Orlando’s and the surrounding areas natural hair community, from haircare products to styling techniques and even sessions with  some of YouTubes favorite natural hair moderators  . I love going to events like these to see what’s new in hairstyles, beauty and to also support my friends and colleagues whom are making their dreams a reality ! Two of my uber talented friends were in  the expo displaying and selling their magnificent Fascinator headpieces they go by the name of Boldy Unique, Christine and Michelle are  the duo behind this latest and most beautiful line of hair, headpieces and they definitely put their heart and soul into their works. I was able to  get a moment with  Christine to give me  info  on what Boldly Unique is all about!

A Color Story…

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

So I am very happy and proud to say that LM has been featured in Bronze Magazine with photos by Darsha Photography .  I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this photo shoot  and the hard work we put into this project. It’s so awesome how this  entire process of this shoot   came together.  Our model  Imani Jayy is  super amazing  and  as you can see from the images photographer Shanai is on point! All of the makeup, hair and fashion styling  was done by me and I must say as tired as I was this day, I pulled the strength from some place other than myself and did what I do best!  I knew I wanted to see color, fun, and invigoration  for this shoot and it’s looks just that!  I kept the makeup soft and colorful a nice change from my usual smokey eye look. So much fun for me to do something different and it definitely shows!
