Birthday Blessings...

Hey Loves,

Over the last weekend I was blessed enough to celebrate my birthday! And of corse all glory goes to God for sustaining me to this point and allowing me to see yet another year. 

HE IS TRULY WONDERFUL!

So as the day was approaching I decided that I was not going to do anything and as I had had a birthday dinner for the last two birthdays prior. So that was something I certainly didn't want to do.

So anyway I arranged to have a birthday 'breakfast' with a couple of my old Uni friends and spent the evening at the Mali Music Gospel concert.

The breakfast ended up as lunch due to lateness (black people timings as usual) at a lovely restaurant in kings cross called the Gilbert Scott! THIS. RESTAURANT. WAS. THE. ISHHH! It was one with fancy decor, posh upscale clients and just all round beautiful. The food... *mouth waters* let's just say if I could eat there everyday I definitely would! The food was mouth watering and delicious. The restaurant is pricey but that's what you would expect. The customer service was spot on! All in all I enjoyed o!

Then after that I returned home and went to get changed for part 2 of my day. Met up with my boys and off to Kentish Town we went! 

Mali Music was AMAZING! 

It was a gospel concert that had everyone dancing and worshipping! 

I seriously could have asked for a better way to spent my birthday!

Thanks to all that sent messages, called me and just showed love in general!

Thank you!

Here are a few shots of the day and the day after (because you know the party never stops) lol

As usual stay beautiful and stay blessed

Face Of The Day...

Hey Loves,

I have come to you with another face of the day!

I created this look using the Sleek SUNSET palatte for church! 

As you can see I got my eyebrows done (Thank God right?!)

I used my urban decay primer and followed that by using my NYX jumbo pencil in Yoghurt all over the lid! 

I then took the beautiful yellow and placed it in the inner part on my  eyelid! 

I then used the pretty pale champagne colour to blend into it. I finally followed that with a light brown in the palatte and blended it! As usual I used my LOOK eyeshadow as my transition colour and blended out any harsh lines! Used my Ricepaper (MAC) under my browbone for highlight.

Finished off with some eyeliner, lots of mascara (I didn't have any time for lashes), blush from ELF and my favourite Lippy at the moment Yash from MAC!

I hope you like this look that I came up with!

Just to let you know that there is a project that I want to do involving creating looks so keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks!

As usual stay beautiful and stay blessed!

Face Of The Day

Hey guys this is just a quick post to show you my face for today!

I cannot lie to you I was pretty much really lazy today and wasn't even going to go to church today. I took one look at the snow and thought "Nah blud, the snow is mocking... Ain't nobody got time fo that"!!!

Butttt I decided to battle against laziness and go. Glad I did.

This is what I came up with...

I think I have actually got the infamous winged eye look down *pats self on the back*

Anyway sha, hope you all have a blessed Sunday and I'll see you in my next post.

Valentine's Love...

Seeing as we have entered the month of love I decided to do a look that could be worn for the special day.

It is a simple look that is very versatile, will suit anyone and is not too much for the date with that special person whomever they may be.

So whether its for a fancy date with your babe 

or a dinner with your girls (for the single ladies) out there this

 is one that can be recreated easily.

I apologise in advance for the crappy picture quality and random backgrounds. I was trying to find the best lighting *covers eyes*.

To create this look:

1) I primed my face then filled in my eyebrows

2) I them Primed my eyelid with Urban Decay potion primer and applied

NYX Milk Jumbo pencil and blended it in

3) I then used my brown eyeshadow (1) as my transition colour just above my crease.

4) I then took my MAC Woodwinked (2) and used it on the center and inner corner of my eyelid.

4) I went back in with my transition colour to blend out any visible harsh lines.

5) In my crease I used MAC Embark (3), but not too much. Just to add some colour and add dimension.

6) I went back in with my blending brush again to targed any harsh/blunt lines before applying the pretty deep shimmer red from my Sleek Sunset pallette (4) to the outer V of my lids.

7) then finally i added a tiny bit of the Black from my Inglot pallette (5) to the outer v too again just with a light hand.

8) I then Highlighted under my brows with Ricepaper (6)

9) To complete the eyes I done alot of blending, added Lashes that I bought on Ebay and also eyeliner. 

10) It all came together by applying my Lancome foundation, concealer, Mineralize Powder in Dark, Blush in Raizin and highlighted the rest of my face.

 So I first done the look with a Nude lip with MACs Yash (matte) lipstick and NYX Nutmeg lipliner but also gave alternatives depending on tastes and how dark you dare to go....

Yash + NYX Nutmeg                                 MAC Strong Woman + NYX Deep

                             Liner                                                        Purple Liner

                   Inglot 175 + NYX Deep Purple Liner                MAC Viva Glam I + MAC Beet

I hope you like the look and let me know what you look you will be doing for your V.day.

Whatever you do, stay safe and have fun with the one/s you love.
