Review Alert! MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2 lipstick and lipglass

Good morning, last week I went to the Mac store and they told me that MAC would be releasing these products a week early so of course the day it came out(today) I woke up earlier then normal just to beat the "new product rush" and I must say I am very pleased with this product. I didn't get "Pink Friday" when it came out but I got Viva Glam Nicki 1 which is a peach/ amplified coral color that I still love( though a lot of people hate it) it and along with these new items are not for everybody, unless you beat your face for days when you wear this product if you do not like bright amplified colors this is NOT for you but for my show stoppers and risk takers, Viva Glam Nicki 2 is def. a recommended product.

Below I have multiple pictures, three include ideas on how to wear the lipstick!gloss

The Universal Red Lip... Morgan State style

So a friend of mine asked me what I thought about her, and wearing a red lip. Once I explained that a red lip suits any and every diva, I thought why not help other girls who might feel the same way "will red look right on me".

Soooo I gathered pictures from some beautiful women on my university campus and put together a collage to show that women of every color can pull off a red lip( if it is done right). Stay tuned for more post about lipsticks and what I would recommend for you!

Maybelline "Rocket Volum' express review

Hello Divas! Today I will be doing a review on a fairly new product by my favorite drugstore brand Maybelline New York.

I was in Wegmans deciding whether I wanted to stick with my regular Maybelline falsies mascara but I decided against it and picked up this product( the packaging won me over) . When I tried this mascara on at home later that night I fell in love! my lashes looked so long and when I mixed it with mac false lashes mascara and Benefits Bad gal lash, you would've thought I had on falsies .

This product is amazing, I definitely recommend and it's only $7

* I attached a picture of all my mascara a which I love very single one btw

*disclaimer I am not a professional Make-up artist, this is simply a hobby that I enjoy and am very passionAte about. Thanks

How to organize your Make-up: College Edition

Greetings All!
So this afternoon I moved back in to my apartment. Of course with moving back in, that means unpacking and etc,well as I organized my make-up, I thought why not share with you guys a way you may want to organize your collection.

In the picture you see my collection as a whole, I bought my storage for my lipsticks and lip balms from target on sale for $3!!! And the white 3-drawer storage is also from target; I believe $11.99.

In the drawers:
First drawer- at first stored my lipsticks but they began to weigh it down so I switched them out and now my Olay Facial Cleansing wipes and MAC cleansing wipes are there.

Second drawer- All my make-up brushes. Mascara, primers for face and eyes , and pigments

Third drawer- this drawer holds my liquid foundation , face powders, concealer, and blush

On the top is my Ben-Nye Banana Powder and also my MAC cosmetic bag(medium size. Can be found on Maccosmetics.com) All my lip glosses , lip liners, eyeliners and misc stuff are stored I there.
And last, on the side of the drawer I just put all my eyeshadow pallets

Hope you all enjoyed and I hope I helped somebody who wasn't sure how to organize their make-up in such limited space.

Toodles!
