Sephora Mini Haul 3/9/09

March 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So, I’m starting to dig make up and the culture behind it, its good to know it’s not all drag queens and barbie wannabees.

I’ve been killing department store make up for a couple months now, not that there’s anything wrong with that but I wanted some eyeshadow that would stay a little longer and I wanted to venture out of my black into colors that were a bit bolder and more blend-able.

I’ve been watching tutorials on youtube and just reading about different brands and based on my research I came across two brands that I was really interested in: Urban Decay (www.urbandecay.com) and ELF (www.eyeslipsface.com) so I placed and order with ELF and went into sephora to check out the Urban Decay stuff.

I purchased the Urban Decay Sustainable Palette and it’s super cool because it’s actually environmentally friendly products i.e. recycled and recyclable materials.

The sustainable Palette as the following Colors:

YDK, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Flipside, Flas, Grifter, Oil Slick, Uzi, Kiddie Pool, Twice Baked and Half Baked.

It was my first time shopping at Sephora and I signed up for their rewards program which gained me: Dior Addict Lip Shine in Catwalk Mauve which gives you more of a subtle tint; a sample of Au Naturel by Fekkai and some kind of tan aid.

All in all, I don’t think I did too bad. Pray for me. There’s bright colors in this palette. :D

Brooklyn Boy

October 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I never thought that I would fall for a brooklyn boy, all chocolate brown and sweet as pie.
 
Worldly knowledge and hood swagger
he can go from the new york times to
dealing with this crazy time .
Has a gentle touch, and rough hands
and swears he knows me like the back of his hand
 
Who’s this brooklyn boy that’s killing my composure?
He makes me feel, makes me think, makes me want,
makes me lose control.
 
He’s my weakness
the explosive in my foundation
My fata morgana
where the lack of my will resides
where my knees go weak at the though of his smile
and my heart refuses to beat
 
He’s fire and I’ll surely get burnt
like a peice of paper close to the flame
pulling back from the heat
but wanting to be the reason why it burns
at the same time
 
Burn me
Change me
Consume me
 
This brooklyn boy will surely be my downfall.
He stole my breath and left me panting for more.
Can he take my heart?
