Just imagine the person you’d become and things

Just imagine the person you’d become and things you’d accomplish if you believe that you could do all of the things that God says he’ll hold your hand through.

I don’t know who else this is for but I’m definitely talking to myself.

If you know me, then you know one of my biggest fears is truly stepping into who, things, and places that I feel like God is calling, preparing me and preparing for me to be.

I’ve only started just a little to make that move with creating the content I’ve been and connecting with the amazing creatives that I’ve been…. And “I’m just getting started”!

So Dear September,
- Bigger!

This Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Foundation has pretty much gone viral!

So I’m trying this foundation that has all of the gworls on the internet in a choke hold on my YouTube channel.

It’s supposed to give skin and I think she’s giving that.

It continues to be sold out in most shades in-store so find out more via link in bio.

Let me know what you think and the most you’d REALISTICALLY spend on a foundation like this.

Fall Lip Me Please!

Unbox and try the New Rouge @diorbeauty Forever with me in the color Forever Night!

Some time ago I was a MAC Cyber girl (IYKYK) so when I saw this color I had to have it!

The “couture” matte look is a beauty and the formula makes her a keeper!

This is a deep berry black… how deep if a color do you like to see or go in the fall?

I’ve been wanting to do this one for some time…. And please don’t come for me in the comments. LOL!

One thing that I’ve learned in my 30 something years of living and 20 something years of my money being spent on makeup/beauty items- is that everything is not meant for everybody, and what may serve you well in one season, may not do so in another.

And that’s ok. There is always someone out there waiting to create something cleaner, better and for your age specific needs.

And I’m so here for it!

These maybe some unpopular opinions for me…. Share yours in the comments.

Here to say that NOBODY and I mean NOBODY does pig

Here to say that NOBODY and I mean NOBODY does pigment like @danessa_myricks !

A hereditary issue that I’ll never be able to get rid of is the darkness around my eyes. All of my life I’ve looked like I had 2 black eyes and no matter how pigmented a pallet claims to be, I always have had to do the most with primer, packing on eyeshadow, and all the things for color to pop!

But with any of @danessa_myricks shadows, I can do the most with very little and that makes me feel@sooo good!

And this limited edition pallet…. worth the splurge!

It’s duo chrome at its finest…
It glides on easy, &
very little is needed!

IMMEDIATELY YES!

Let me know if you can relate in the comments.
