"Blessings Delayed do not equal Blessings Denied, PATIENCE is a virtue, Gods plans are always Greater then ones we can draft and invision for ourselves, for these are the reasons why I know I will and can make it through it all with a Smile"

I will be staying home tonight making youtube video, yes on New Years Eve.  I had plans but I canceled them by choice because I need positivity to bring in the new year, and at the moment keeping positivity and my smile includes being on my own for the night.  And do trust that is exactly what I need and want at the moment.  I am Happy :)  What are you getting into tonight?  I pray that you enjoy and be safe in whatever it is you choose to do to celebrate the blessing of a new year.

Boots Expert Instant Matte Review

BLKBEAUTY4LIFE

TERRIBLE PACKAGING FOR A WATER LIKE SOLUTION!!!

PRODUCT CLAIMS:
This ingenious instant matte will remove shine-inducing excess oil and give an without drying.  Use under or over make-up clearer, toned and refreshed. It is to be applied with your finger tips under or over makeup to areas of your face that produce oil inorder to control it. (.5 fl oz) SOLD @ TARGET for about $5

MY EXPERIENCE:
The packaging is absolutely terrible for the product.  The solution is no different then water, it looks, and feels like water.  So pouring it makes it very difficult.  Imagine pouring water in your hand to put it on small areas of your face. Thats like impossible without getting it everywhere.  I think this should have been in a spray bottle, so that you could just spray it on the parts of your face that get oily.  But the way that it is packaged, you pour it on your hands or finger tips and it just runs all over the place. On top of that IT DOES NOT WORK.  I have seen no difference in the oily-ness of my face when I use it.  I tried using it under my makeup, I also tried using it over my makeup. It makes no difference it still does not work.  This product was a waste of $5.  I have used it for about a month and seen no difference.  I do not recommend it.

Target Military Inspired Boots

BLKBEAUTY4LIFE

Military boots are one of the biggest trends of this winter.  To tell you the truth it is not even really my style but it is still something I felt I had to have.  I already have an intense love for boots, and ontop of that I wanted a pair of brown boots different from all the boots I already own.  So when I saw these brown military boots at Target for only $29.99 I thought of course.  I HAVE TO HAVE THESE!  Just to let you know you will most likely not find these boots at a Target near you.  They only sell them in black at the stores and in order to get the brown one you have to order them online.  I was so lucky that someone ordered these online and did not like them and returned them in store.  And that is why I own a pair.  I never order shoes online because my size varies depending on the shoe, so I can never buy shoes without trying them on at first.  I have to say these shoes are not true to size, I got them in size 8.....I normally wear size 8 1/2 -9.  But 8 fits me perfect for these boots.  I have to figure out how the heck am I going to wear these?????

My Hair My Hair My Hair!  I have never sweeked a wig as much as I have Ms. London Girl.  But the more I wear hear, cut her, and style her is the more I fall inlove with her.  This is saying alot considering the fact that I was inlove with her from the moment I removed her from the box.  I think today I made the final, and very last chop of the bangs.  And Finally I think it is just PERFECT!!!! A need to do a review on youtube, but I was sick and had final exams when I first got her, now my parents have been home for the past 2 weeks, so I have not had the chance to do it.  But when I do get the time I know that I will rave about it. 

These are my 3 Fav Styles

Hello Kitty -- Christmas Day

BLKBEAUTY4LIFE

Christmas for grown folks is never all that spectacular anymore but it is still enjoyable.  Seeing the excitement in my neices face is priceless.  I mainly got money but there was one girft I got that I really loved that was never supposed to be my gift in the first place.  My mom bought a Hello Kitty Projection Alarm Clock weeks and weeks before Christmas figuring she would give it to one of the children in my family, but when I saw it I begged to have it.  She told me no, and I begged n begged everyday.  So of course what was in my hand Christmas morning, none other then the Hello Kitty Clock I begged for.  I really really like it.  Its cute.

NARS Albatross Review--- Christmas Eve Shopping

Having to be out shopping on Christmas eve was the absolute worst.  I vow to never do it again, or to never have to do it again.  There was literally nothing left.  The traffic was insane, and the lines were the longest I have ever seen.  But you know I can always find some affordable peices for myself.  I found an awesome over the shoulder, black, edgy, studded, tiny purse that I can wear both to the club and/or out for a day of shopping.  So you know I am happy about that purchase.  But today I got to try out a NARS highlighting blush I purchased yesterday from Sephora and realized it is absolutely wrong for my skin type.  It made my face look like a shiny disco ball.  I already have problems with oily-ness so the glitters in this blush only worsened my situation.  I also wore out my Ms. London Girl full cap wig and realized the bangs were too long and they were getting all up in my eyes all day.  Got home and trimmed them some more :(  I liked them better longer, but they were bothering my eyes just too much.  Well anyways in the pics below are before I trimmed my bangs some more.

NARS Albatross -- $26.00 @ Sephora

I feel like I am the only one who does not like this highlight. Not a good highlight for oily skin, it only makes for a shiny mess.  With my skintone and oilyness it just did not work, I have to and will be returning it.  IF YOU KNOW ABOUT A GOOD MATTE HIGHLIGHT PLEASE COMMENT BELOW.

Xhilaration Mini Black Bag -- $14.99 on sale for $10.48 @ Target

I love the versitility of this bag.  The price makes it that much better.  Toped off with edgy-ness from the chain to the studds makes it a must have for this season.  Purchases like this just makes me smile :)  Love when I can find something trendy that doesn't brake the bank, because this is something that may only be a peice for this season, and something you may not even consider using next winter....or who knows it might be trendy for longer then that.

There is a piece of this outfit that I repeated from yesterday.  Check out todays outfit and yesterday's outfit and see if you can guess which peice I wore two days in a row, yet made it look like 2 completely different outfits!

MIXIT Jewelry -- Christmas Eve Eve Shopping

BLKBEAUTY4LIFE

I am a last minute type of girl.  Both sick and tired but I still had to make it out to buy gifts.  But of course I found absolutely nothing for anyone else but myself.  Today is was my first day Christmas shopping this year, sad but true.  So this means I will be out shopping again tommorow regardless of the fact that I am sick as a dog :(  But I found some awesome bracelets for $8 a peice that were originally $20 a peice.  The brand is called Mixit, and I purchased them from JCPenny. They remind me of charm bracelets.  I can not wait to wear them.

M.A.C Dirty Plum Blush Review

BLKBEAUTY4LIFE

Being that I am a dark skinned women this blush is perfect for my skin tone.  It is a strong, powerful, deep, plum/purple color.  It is a SATIN, and very light on the glitter.  I feel like the glitter disappears once I apply it.  If you are of a deep skin tone you just might love this as I do. Whether you  are dark or fair you still have to be light with it, and build it as needed.....You do not want to end up looking like a clown.  This is only available at your nearest CCO (cosmetic company outlet).   It cost $13 and worth every penny!
