Nars cosmetics products

This is a nice blushed color for medium coverage.  I may use this along with a contour powder on my T zone ,nose bridge and my cheeks.  This has gold reflective powders as well as this kind of golden orange hue,color called ORGASM.  They have several shades something else may work better for other skin tones.  However if you are looking for quality products they are a good fit.  This will give you a finished look whether you wear makeup or not.  Just blush across your cheek bones for a pinched pretty look.  Until next time Jems.......xoxoxx

False Eye Lashes

A lot of women have fallen into the trend of false eye lashes.  Some women use them without a real knowledge on how to wear them without looking like they're apart of a Mardi gras parade in New Orleans.  Seriously though, just because they make and sell over 100 styles, that doesn't mean you should try them.  The art to wearing them is to add Drama to the eye while remaining sexy natural lashes.  A man/woman for that matter will not tell you that you look foolish walking around with lashes that make you look like Mr. snuffleupagus from SESAME STREET.  My male friends always tell me of these horror stories of dating women who would apply them wrong or wear the wrong styles.  So now I'll tell you how to remain sexy while wearing them. First wear the ones that are closest to the length of your natural lash just a tiny bit longer.  Then before you apply glue cut the lash if needed.  The art is to make them look as natural as possible.  So when applying use tweezers to get the false lash as close as possible to natural lash line.  Next I always line the upper lid with black eye liner just in case I do not get the lash as close as needed with out having a visual gap seen by others.  When the lash is in place you then line the remaining part of the eye with a liquid eye liner and your done.

If you prefer using lashes for length then this style would be a good choice.

These are good for volume and length without having the super heavy lid

These are when you want to have length but a normal Day to Day wear

These are a shorter version of some above if you prefer a mascara look  over natural lash look

These are for length no heavy volume nice and simple

These are the "RED ZONE" these are extremely unreal and will cause you to have the heavy cap lids too dramatizing for most looks unless your in a magazine spread with heavy make up and lighting! 

These are the "RED ZONE" they are not as heavy as the ones above it however they have extreme length your lashes will turn the corner before you do!

These are the "RED ZONE " another version of the ones posted above with the Snuffy look, TOO heavy!

Easy application and you can reuse your lash because this is temporary

Now remember these numbers usually stay the same with the different brands on the market.  This is just an idea of what I'm talking about.  If the lash looks thick in the pack it will look even heavier on your lid.  You would have to put concealer all the way down to your chin to get rid of the shadow it places on your face.  The quality of this brand is to my liking so I use these but, if you can find them in other brands by all means try your hands with it.  I use my lashes several times before they need to be replaced.  Just remember that they go on after the shadow and if you do not have steady hands line the eye before hand.  I must also mention while some of us may prefer individual lashes, consider having to always use them or invest in some kind of lash regrowth serum because the semi permanent glue used will always pull your natural lashes out!

Sephora brand top coat

Hello gems!  This post will be to inform you guys of a great top coat Sephora OPI brand.  Its a quick dry solution so you do not have a long dry period.  I bought this a few weeks ago and i keep getting complements on my nails.  Besides the color I'm currently wearing being pretty the finish on with the top coat gives off the effect as if I have gel color.  This polish is a nice consistency and goes on smooth, dries very fast.  I'm impatient so for those who do not use gel top coat this is the next best thing.  Sold in  the regular Sephora and JC Penny Store.  I'm not playing I was testing it out but I will be going to get a couple bottles of this.  I do my nails often and weekly apply an extra coat of clear top coat for long lasting color along with shine. Below is the picture of what it looks like.  Don't sleep go get one or two!   

Fragrance Collection Review

These are a few Perfume scents I wear. I want to share them with everyone. One thing I hate when going into a department store is being rushed by sales men/women trying to get a commission and not really caring if the customer is satisfied.  So if you don't have any that I'm about to show you, you would have an idea of what you can test smell.  I prefer sweet floral or fruity smells.  Sometimes I like a must smell if its a combination of floral or fruit.  It can not be a Jasmine and pachouli only base.  So ask the sales rep what notes make up the scent, thats important.  Another thing you may need to do is spray it on you inner wrist and walk around for a minute the smell needs time to mix with your natural body oils to produce the right smell for you. Hope this is helpful! So these are just a few of my picks.

Daisy I like this its distinctive and has a slightly different scent from the original, but again body chemistry will have the last say on how this smells on you.

I love this I have 2 of them it smells like the expression New Money$ . Floral evening smell

This also has an adult smell never old lady I wouldn't do that to myself much less you guys! I would say this is a combo of floral orientals

Love this ! Its smell is just like the name of the perfume. Very soft and sensuous yet strong in character. 

MY CHRISTMAS BEAUTY WISH LIST

 These are just a few of the things I have on my list,  The smell goods are really nice all day wear fragrances, as far as the make up goes the shadows have great coverage, well pigmented color.

Kat Von B. Eye shadow palette Review

If your looking for a shadow with great pigment, color options, and lasting capabilities?  This one is a good choice.  I can use this palette without a eye shadow base and still have perfect coverage.  The price is also reasonable.  I bought my compact from Sephora, they have a few palette shade options to choose from.  This specific one is called LUDWIG.  With the shades listed from left to right.  Lucifer, orbi, Dimebag, Tequila, Clay, Downtown, Baroque, leather.

Bebe Mini striped leather jacket ( The look for less)

This piece bought to us by Store Bebe is a must have for anyone looking to make a style statement, Its real leather and fragile in terms of the mesh fabric holding the leather strips together.  This jacket goes for a cool  $229.00.  How many are willing to spend that on this pleasure?  So I started to look for others means to obtain this look.  Now keep in mind if you have a fashion sense at all you can make anything look like 100 bucks!  Below are some options when looking for a cheaper way to achieve the look.

This Teal jacket can be purchased for  $24.99 from Amiclubwear.com.  In my opinion this one has the best look of quality.

This one is from Amiclubwear.com , however this will need special fashion skills in pulling this off because it doesnt have the same look of quality as the one posted below.

This one I love its a Vintage gold color at web site Amiclubwear.com for a price of  $19.99 its all how you put your clothing together throw in some designer piece or accesories and it wont be questioned.

BRUCCI POLISH IN DRAMA ( MY FAVE !)

Hello everyone its been a while since my last post.  Really its to (update the post) because I take the pictures regularly, however I get a little side tracked when its time to upload post. So because I know the importance of the female manicure here is my thoughts on the Nail craze  CAVIAR BEAD !  Initially I wanted to purchase mine from SEPHORA, however they were always sold out.  So with that being said I decided to take the cheaper way out and just ordering a variety pack on Amazon from another retailer. When my package of the beads arrived I was excited and immediately started to match up the beads with polishes that I thought matched closest.  As pictured above you can see the end result of that.  At a later date I will upload what my Nails look like and how I thought the caviar look held up.     Stay tuned guys CHEERS!

My Trends Tips Sephora by OPI

These are some Trend Tips I purchased form Sephora.  If you visit older post you can see I use the sally Hansen brands of this style of nail polish, however if I had to chose which I prefer it would be he Sephora brand based on quality and the Sally Hansen because its cheaper! I've had experiences where the Sally Hansen was very dry there for wouldn't adhere to the nail.  I've never had any similar issues with the Sephora OPI brand.  So below you can see how my nails turned out!  I still have yet to pick the right way to lay the strips without having wrinkles in it.  Anyone have a technique please do share in my comments section. X.O.X.O till next time !!

As you can see I had a bit of a problem find ing the right fit as well as  getting it to lay flat.  Sally Hansen brand lays more easily. 

H & M Brand Polish

I like to try some of the cheaper brand polish.  Some times there over looked we wean them out  because their not Top shelf, but sometimes they surprise you with great coverage.  So I saw these duo Nail polishes in H & M and decided  to check out the quality.  This post is to be continued:

Sephora 18ct. GOLD Top Coat

I was doing my usual restock of my benefit Boi-ing concealer when I bumped into a polish that's is said to have this intense shine with real 18 ct. gold high light bits. There was only one left so I took that as faith that I was to have this 18 ct. luxury nail polish at $30.00 a pop! plus tax.  The sales girl told me they sold out immediately so I felt like I won the lottery.  I tried this polish with the Essie summer polish A CREWED INTEREST so if you google the color you know what I'm talking about, the 18ct. gave my nails a nice shine however the little gold specs where hardly noticeable for what I payed and the polish it self yellowed every polish I tried with it.  It gave this look of residue.  I was totally unsatisfied with this polish.  So not worth the price$.  I would buy it at $5.00 for the shine and only use it with dark colors so you cannot see the yellow effect.  I hope my experience saves someone 30 bucks!  CHEERS!!

Its real but so mot worth the money!

I have been going through a few things lately never really making the time to do any new post, However I'm here right now.  I like to live in the NOW!  So here is a pic of some little creation I made up just to have a manni look appealing.

some color blocking with polish with added sally hansen nail decals

People Please excuse my cuticle i have been pealing them,  These nails were done with my Conad disk

YOUTUBE inspired spiked heels

Now I love to improvise when it comes to some things fashion, then I believe some things can not be faked.  However, it is almost always about Presentation + Confidence.  I happen to be a Non- conformist so I do not allow Fashion as much as I love it or trends to Limit me Artistically expression of self.  So I love to create and trying new things and this project feel under both categories.  As you will see in the images bellow I have attempted to make a studded pair of wearable pumps. Once the shoes were done I did realize that they are now about one full size ti half a size big.  I bought the shoes in my right size 8.  So if your going to try this keep that in mind.  These shoe were comfy before i added the studs and are still quite wearable now that the screws are on the back.  One think I will be doing to make them more fitted will be to add an elastic strap right across the top to keep the shoe from flip flopping missing up my sexy.  We cant have that.  LOL

These are a basic pair of pumps purchased from Charolette Russe I love the Heel.  I thought these shoes would look hot with spikes along the back so I
 decided to add some of my own.

This is after applying a few spike the shoe, I used a regular drill for the wholes, then screwed the spikes in.

Coming along nicely

Now for the people wondering what it looks like on the inside!  Basically you wanna screw  the spikes as far as they will allow you to go.

These is the finish product.  As I thought the spiked heel went grate with the spikes.
