All things by design

 Dear Readers, In light of the Presidential election that has currently taken place, I have deiced to go out way out of my comfort zone and write this post. This election has been one to remember. I am not here to talk about who you voted for or why you chose not to vote but my story in a way. We have this crazy notion that our vote doesn't count. Yes, in the grand overview of things it may not count for much but it still counts for something. I am not pointing fingers for those who didn`t vote or who you voted for . For that is your right to do so. I had a conversation with a friend at work  a few month back  if he was going to vote or not this year. He told me, he was not and he even explained his reason why. I am not telling you his reason because I can not speak for him. I understood his way of thinking but it is very different to my own. For myself , I am the odd one out in a way. Here, I  stand as a African- American woman with the odds stacked against me if ...

This has been something that has colab between Tarte and Grav3yardgirl has been long awaited.  I don`t know how many of you watch Bunny`s videos on her YouTube channel. I have been watching them for a few years. She has join the ranks of many other Beauty Gurus that have done colabs with different  makeup brands. I was undecided if I  was going to purchases this pallet. I do enjoy watching  watching Bunny`s videos. I have a good amount of makeup pallets and don`t really need another one. I was also unsure of how the colors would work with my skin tone. Nor was a I sure if I wanted to pay the price it cost. The pallet cost 45 USD. to which is a good price compared to Urban Decay`s pallets that start at 54 USD. when you buy the pallet you get your pallet and it comes with a brush which is amazing! Also in your box is a card with two looks created by Bunny using the pallet. I have purchased products form Tarte Co...

 Have you seen this app while scrolling down your Instagram app? I have seen it a few times there as well on Pintrest. I had debated a long time before I deiced to spend the money on it. When I first saw this app I was like this could really be useful to me when picking out my outfits for work as well helping make more clothing style post for this blog. So I go on the apple app store and spent the $3.99 for this app. I was very excited to see what I could create with this. I would be able to see my wardrobe on my phone. It could come in handy when shopping . But sadly I was vastly not ready for the massive under taking it would be to get all of my wardrobe and accessorizes include on to the app would be. I started out strong in taking photos of my wardrobe then I got overwhelmed by the number of items I owned to take the photos. After awhile I just stopped adding trying to add items to this app. The app give you instructions on how to take the photos of your items so that you can...

Hello readers,  I am trying something new in the format of my post . Let me know what you guys think. Now on to the topic at hand. Cosplay is the newest mainstream thing. Many of us have been apart of this community for years. Within recent years the "outside" world ( I'm using this word loosely ) have become more aware of what this community is. I,myself have been cosplaying for almost 20 years. It's a hobby and a way to challenge myself to get better at creating all components of an outfit. So in a way it's one of my many passions. For some it is their job to which is pretty amazing. But this is not why I'm making this post. There has been some underline issues that have explode and are tearing the community apart. These issue are ingrained to us just for the fact we are human and some are not comfortable with things that are different . The issues I am taking about are race, body size and many more. Those are the two that I am going to talk about in later p...

It has come to my attention after a few years that this blogging this is very hard. For those who do this for fun or for real life job style you have my encouragement and props! I have been using this blog for a few years and I don`t feel like it has taken off. I know the reasons why. I have asked myself should I just give up and stop doing this. I have no kind of order to this blog nor do I have a schedule on when I have post that are ready for viewing. I have tempted fate I feel in making this blog as there are so many out there who do the same thing. Yes, I am being a Debby downer but it is real life. I made a blog originally to talk about the costumes I was working on along with a food one when I first started collage. I ended up getting rid of it because I could not get the hang of it and I felt discouraged. I tried again with a new lease on life when the makeup blogger thing started becoming the newest craze.  I love makeup so I figure sure why not. This time around I thought...

Hello all,  Time for a new post about one of this biggest things in the make up world right now liquid lipsticks. There are so many to choose from. From high end to low end. I myself am a big fan of them. I am always trying to find new products that don't break the bank. The prices I have seen range from six dollars US upwards to twenty-two dollars US. I have only tried a few brands so far. Here is a review of what I have found so far. The brands that I own are from Wet N Wild, Colour Pop, L.A. Splash and Limecrime. (Disclaimer I have heard about the issues with the brand Limecrime and it is unfortunate that those things happened. I had bought the product way before it happened and if you choose not to support them that is cool. We are all are able to have  our own thoughts but I ask you not to attack me or others for theirs) Now that I have that put out there lets get on with the reviews!!!! So I am not doing any lip swathes cause after like three of them your lips get a bi...
