This warm weather has me thinking about my pale (yes, brown folks get pale too!) complexion. Now is the time that I like to get a little bronzer in preparation for the warmer weather I’m craving. Two bronzers I’m going to check out next week while in NYC… Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, it’s part [...]

If you hadn’t heard already, the Obama girls have been given the code names Radiance and Rosebud by the Secret Service. Well, when I wear Bare Escentuals All-Over Face Color in Warm Radiance I feel like I should have the code name Radiance too! Now don’t worry, there’s an All-Over Face Color for everyone, Warm [...]

My unrealistic beauty goal in life is to have movie star style.

So I was browsing Sephora for about 2 hours on Saturday and I came upon this nifty item, a liquid loose powder by Cargo. I picked it up thinking, whatever I bet it feels like crap. I was WRONG! It was so cool. It is truly a liquid that once your rub onto your skin [...]
