Feliz Dia de Gracias!!!

Hey!!!

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US besides stuffing yourself like this year’s turkey, Thanksgiving means something else….the start of the holiday shopping season!

LOTD: Using MUFE's Maize Gold

Hey!

So I am finally getting around to using one of the new Makeup For Ever Metal Effect Powders in #2, Maize Gold.  Brilliant burnished golden powder.  I had no problems using this colour.  Intense  pigmentation, finely milled, easy to use.  I paired it with one of the few matte pigments that I have, M.A.C. Smoke Signal from the Smoke Signals collection.  It’s a deep, burgundy, shimmer-free colour.  Quite original.

Anyway here’s the look…

Champagne & Cupcakes!

Hi ladies!!

Over the weekend, I attended the Champagne & Cupcakes event at Karen’s Body Beautiful in Brooklyn, my old neighbourhood!!!  I am amazed at how the area has changed for the better.  Lots of cute shops, restaurants etc.  But I digress….

This was the bash celebrating the brand’s total makeover: the new packaging, the opening of the spa, the website relaunch, the store redesign.  I appreciate what Karen has done as a minority business owner, especially in this economy.  I like her products and I think she aims to bring out a quality, natural, handmade product that caters for people with naturally curly/kinky hair (even though anyone can use her products).

Anyway, I got there pretty late, but the place was still jumping…

DJ was mixing…

Her hair was cute!
