Nail Polish: Camouflage 830



Rimmel 60 seconds 830 Camouflage

Beauty Confessions: 04

Today it poured like the sky was crying for me to stay,


but than the sun came out to tell me it was pouring out happy tears, because I’m going to see the person I miss the most in the world. My Piscean partner that I was created with.

I started out the day oh so lovely. I doodled a little, took a few snap shots here and there,



got the best milk shake money can buy,

but than I noticed two things I have yet to do (mind you I’m writing a to-do list and checking stuff off the list at the same time in my head—great way to cause migraine) 1. Spray tan my legs and 2. Get that ugly mole removed (I mean I’ve been putting that off for years not good I know).


Is it just me all we all suffer from uneven skin tone? My legs always lose its tan color so quickly (it’s not following right with the rest of the bod).

Skin: Creating a facial mist.




I love creating gentle mist that can hydrates my face even body if I wanted to at any given moment. Here I'm using a white tea with some great ingredients as well as other great toppers to hydrate my skin on a hot day or just when I need a picker upper.

Pineapple: helps to improve elasticity, hydration, skin clarity as well as removing damaged skin.

Coconut: help with reducing wrinkles, liver spots and much and much more.

Rosewater: powerful antioxidant, rich in vitamin c and they produce a natural form of vitamin A.

Glycerin: hydrate the skin's cells

****This tea is amazing to drink as well:

- 7/9 Electro Flash Anniversary
- 7/17 Graphic Garden
- 7/30 Baby Bloom
----------------



1. MAC Light Over Dark Blush - bronzy peachy color (gives my skin the most amazing glow *margin could come close* I wear this over my SPF and I'm out the door this blush is a winner for me!)

2. MAC Freckletone Lipstick - neutral peachey pink (If I go heavy on the mascara...I tend to reach for this somehow it just makes me feel so put together)

3. Frederic Fekkai Shea Butter Hair Mask:

Who it is for: Anyone who wants to hydrate and condition dry, relaxed, or coarse hair.

Why is it different: Shea butter and sweet almond protein hydrate and smooth each hair shaft making hair manageable and touchably soft.
Freddricka Shea Butter Mask (at first I didn't like this product, but what I do is apply it over a conditioner and leave it on for a 1/2 hr and it leaves my hair super soft to the touch *I have dry coarse hair 4a kinky curl*)

4. Rimmel Nail Polish - Ash Rose (I love this on my toes lol ..just looks perfect on my super deep tan skin *I love coolish colors on my toes and finger more than warm*)

5. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 PA+++: This sunscreen is specifically designed for the face to defend against powerful UVA/UVB rays which cause sunburn, cell damage, dryness, roughness, and premature signs of aging such as fine lines. (This is kind of drying so spritz my face w/ fix+ and add a thin layer of this does the job and protects!)
