MOVED!!!

Hey hey hey fellow addicts! I am SO sorry for not keeping up with things. Between school kids and hit by the recession of having NO job it kinda kills ya spirits a bit! To God be the glory though, b/c I still have my health and well being and my kids are doing well. Anyway, I will be closing down this blog though. School is starting to REALLY kick my butt and I don't have the time or heart right now to at least keep you guys up to date on the make up scene like I used to.

DON'T WORRY!

I will be starting a new blog site that'll just keep up with the er'day things and thoughts I have when it comes to mind. My personal site Nessa-Ness will be up and running shortly. I'm gonna try to see if I can either get back on my PSP game and get a layout set up OR......pay for someone to make it for me, lol. Looks like option 2 might be the better option for me.

Anyway, I love you all addicts and click the link if you guys care enough to pry into my reality! LOL!

Finding Your Skin Undertones

I was in the mirror today and I noticed something different. I noticed w/ the weather here in Texas going from cold, hot and rainy to another other damn weather pattern, my skin color has changed. I noticed that my skin was lookin kinda yellow-y and basically, no way sexy....lol.

So I took a ride up to my local MAC and let them know of my issue. My MA suggested we try a NW45 and I'd be damn, it went on and I saw NOTHING! It was sooooo pretty to me! So I came to a conclusion that in the fall/winter months I'll use my NC50 and spring/summer I'll switch back to NW45. In case you're wondering I bought the mineralized satin finish foundation. I chose that one b/c since my skin is oily as hell in the summertime thanks to good olesweat...lol....I figure that the less foundation on me is the better. Besides, there's no point of using a full coverage foundation in Texas in the summertime b/c by 12 noon you swear it all off.....lol.

Want to find out your Undertone? Here's something I found on Marlena's site that can help you out. Lata addicts!

I Got Mine!!!

I'm So Excited!! I can't wait till May 12th!!

Jamacian Inspiration

Hey fellow addicts!! I'm still alive, just gettin my butt handed to me in school...lol. No worries so far though, I'm riding high w/ a 3.92 GPA! *squeals and giggles*

Today's FOTD comes from these earrings I picked up yesterday. I couldn't pass them up in the store, they were too cute. I love the threaded earrings but I really don't wanna pay over $10 for them. So far, I'm finding the ones I like at pretty decent prices. This particular pair I found at Charlotte Russe. They had 2 for $8 deal so I went ahead and picked those up and some other pairs of theraded earrings.

Easter Sunday FOTD

Happy Easter Addicts!! I know I've been M.I.A. for a GOOD minute now, but you know a life of a single mom is hectic and let's face it, when I get a "free" moment....it's time to get to bed and start the day ALL over again....lol. Anyway, I went for somewhat neutral colors this year. I wore a simple white top and linen pants (yeah, my mama was NOT happy about that one, lol) w/ some fierce gold heels from baby phat. Matter of fact, the top and pants were baby phat too....lol.

I ♥ CCO's!!

Ok, on a quick errand to Best Buy, I decided I needed to take a drive out to my outlet mall and go to a CCO...lol. The best Buy is maybe 5 minutes from my house, but the outlet mall is about 20-30 minutes, lol. So my lil 5 minute errand turned into about an 1 1/2 hour errand, lol. I picked up some NICE things!! I finally scored "X-Rocks" from the Neo Sci-Fi Collection. it's so pretty. I would give you guys swatches, but it seems like for this particular time, my camera is taking some blurry shots *rolls eyes and snarls* damn camera! LOL!

I also picked up some new shadows. Woodwinked, Top Hat and Satin taupe. I needed to build up my browns so Woodwinked and Satin Taupe will go there. Top Hat on the other hand is a pretty purple. I picked up most of the neutrals from the Starflash collection like Glamour Check, Go, Bold and Brazen , Dreamweaver and Sunset B as a splash of color. But Top Hat was the reason why I wanted the Starflash collection in general. Of it's so pretty. I can't wait to try it out!! I also scored another Kohlpower Eye pencil. I actually came back with 2 - Feline (I LOOOOOOVE THIS PENCIL!!!) and Raven. I got it just b/c it's purple....lol. if you haven't been able to tell, Purple is my die hard FAVORITE color!

OH!! I also picked up my first pigment!! Yeaaa me! I'm tryin I'm tryin, LOL! I was tellin one of my twitter friends and fellow makeup lover E. that I really don't want to fool with pigments. Why? Well, I have my babies. and if ONE of them jokas come nears it and it DROPS on the floor!!!! OH, it's on FA REAL!!! LOL. Guess what color it is though....don't worry I'll wait........give up? It's Violet, lol. I just told ya'll that I liked purple, so Violet was an absolute buy.

And to conclude my CCO rampage is the purchase of a 242 brush. I use the 252 daily so I know the 242 will be wonders for me as well.

So there ya have it. I think I'm set for another month or 2 when it comes to make-up, lol. Have a good one ladies!



Oh, one more thing before I go....Here's a couple of pictures of my lil man ridin big at the outlet mall with his homies! LMAO!!

Long Hair Don't Care

Yes, while I dearly LOVE my short hair........I'M BORED out of my DAMN mind with it!!! LOL So, what else do you do when you want a change? GET SOME HURR GURRRL!! LMAO!!

I need to let my hair rest for a while anyway, I'm tired of going to the salon every week or 2 just to get the same or something similar to the style I always get. I have it crimped right now so I can have that "wavy" look. This pic was taken like 3 weeks ago, I think. Anyway, like it? Hate it? If you hate it, oh well.....sucks to be you right now.....lmao! Laters addicts!!

Feel Like gettin Nekked???

OMG! I know it's like super late but I HAD to post this once I saw it on temptalia!! So...all my fellow M.A.C. addicts...be prepared to just DROP and DROOL!! LMAO!!

Naked Honey Collection
June 2009

Bees do it… now M•A•C does it! Honey that is! As ancient and exotic as Kohl, great beauties have long revered the natural restorative powers of the Golden Elixir.

Following the example of their fabled Queen, Cleopatra, Egyptians bathed in honey and milk.

Guess Who's Bizzaaak!!!!

Hey my lovely M.A.C. and fellow make-up loving divas!! Long time no see! I just wanted to post a quick update to let EVERYONE know that yes, Ms. Nessa is alive and well....lol. I've just been busy with school, home and my job (I'll tell you later) that I've just been super duper busy! Anyway, this is my most recent pic, I have cut my hair shorter than this since that last pic, but my charger is M.I.A. right now so I can't show you guys the madness I've created on my head.....lol. Anyway, it's cute, but I think I'm gonna go back to the above length. it's way too short for me to get used to.

Now, if you're wondering, yes I landed the job with the State agency and I'm lovin it! Well, he paycheck part that is.....lol. I haven't really bought a lot of make-up this year, but I did pick up some eye shadows from the chill collection as the year was ending. So far, I only have 1 MAC purchase and that's when they had the 25% off sale and I definately cleaned up. Anyway, I just wanted to post a lil something and let you guys know I'm here. The kids are great and my life is ok right now. If you wanna K.I.T., I update my twitter profile as much as I can. Feel free to chit chat with me if you dare, I can get lil rougish at times....lol. Love you guys and stay beautiful!!

Goodbye Kitty!!

Am I the only one who was sooo excited for this collection and now after seeing the promo pics and NOW actual product pics, is sadly turned off by it?

To be quite honest, I'm looking at probably getting the lippies only....well maybe one beauty powder but everything else......I'll gladly pass on.

I went for a pink look. I used pink split mineralized duo, passionate and sunset b. on the lids of course. On the lippies I used a lipstick color called "Lustering", and cultureclash l/g and pinkarat lustureglass. Very light but still cute. But the piece de resistance is up next. *drum rolls*

*TA-DAAAAAA*

LMAO! I'm a nut. Ya'll I am so honored to have this chick as my mom. This was the first time that I have EVER seen her this glammed up. What makes it more touching to know that I helped her get this look. I was patient and caring and I'd be damn ya'll, my mama is HAWT! LMAO!

Threading 101

OK, me and Mom got our eyebrows threaded for the 1st time yesterday. We were having a girl's day treating ourselves to pedicures and manicures so our eyebrows HAD to get dealt with. I made a suggestion to try threading b/c I've looked at the process on YT and I really wanted to try it. Here's a pic of my mom before the process began:

So naturally she went first......lol. Just kidding. I just had her go first so I can see the outcome of her brows then I was gonna go ahead and give it a shot. I recorded the whole ordeal showing how everything looks. I tried to upload it here, but blogger was trippin. Here's the outcome:


Nice huh? Seeing these results I had to go ahead and give it a hot. So I got in the chair and tried to to prepare myself for the inevitable. I was told that it feels like getting them plucked so I was ok about that. MAN, whoever said that BS was smokin! LMAO!! OMG ya'll that shit (you know it was serious if I'm cursin right now, lol) was painful. Every swipe she did, all I could say was Sssshhhh******tttttttt...lmao! Not to mention there were 2 other ladies waiting for their turn and talking to my mom and cracking jokes the whole time and I was trying to hard NOT to laugh, so with me doing that....I had tears rolling down my eyes. One of the ladies was like "Aww, don't cry". The eyebrow lady stopped for a sec and right when she did that I just let the laughter out that I was holding in so bad. I must say, even though this crap hurts, I'm gonna stick with it. The final look I had after wards is just beautiful. And threading last longer than getting your brows waxed or shaped by a razor. Here's my finished brow look:


I didn't take before pics b/c honestly I didn't think about doing an entry on this until after the fact....lol. The threading method is supposed to last about a month or so. Anyway, that's enough for today. BTW, in case you were wondering or haven't figured it out yet.....M.A.C. passed on me. I'm not upset about it though. I get to work on my makeup skills and in about another 6 months or so, I might re apply.

So Outspoken

*warning - post is pic heavy!!*

Ok, as you can tell....I love the color purple...lol. I'm so serous. Ya'll should see how many shades of purple I have in my makeup case. I mean purple is the color of royalty....sooooo that's means me, LOL. On the eyes I used the "Outspoken" mineralized eyeshadow trio from M.A.C. of course. I'm really liking it. Today I went to my oldest's son school for the Thanksgiving dinner they were having so I wanted to look somewhat presentable. The food was ok, but I can't wait until thursday.

Hey ya'll, this is no beauty post today, just a random rant on me trying to upload on YT. It WILL NOT WORK! I just don't know what to do anymore. I've tried modifying the file making it smaller and since the last vid I uploaded...nothing's been going on. I'm slightly irritated at the fact that I see everyone's vids uploading everyday. Like my good YT NC50 brother Cullgan, he can upload like and 4 vids at a time and all of his go through. Like I have so much to say and express and I can't get them onto YT b/c YT has some issues. I just have vids sitting on my camera and my PC just waisting away...lol. What am I doing wrong? Can someone PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Review : Clinique 3-Step

Hey addicts!! I probably need to stop calling ya'll that....lol! Anyway, I just wanted to share a lil something with you guys on what I use to keep this skin of mine looking halfway healthy...lol I know you all heard or seen folks using the Clinique 3-Step skincare process by now and heard both negative and positive reviews. Well, I'm sorry to say, I have nothing negative to say about this product. I've been using this for about a month now and I've seen my face change dramatcally. Before I started using this I was having breakouts like crazy and afterwards virtually NO breakouts. I mean I've got a pimple or 2 now but that's b/c of stress thanks to school....lol. I have a paper and power point presentation due in like 3 or 4 weeks so I'm kinda freakin out right now.

Anyway....just an FYI, these can be conformed to your skin "type". I'm a type 2 so I am of a "dry combination" skin. mean I have some dry spots but my t-zone is of course SHINY meaning it's a tad bit oily. You can check out the website and answer a few questions about you and your skin type and at the end it'll tell you what skin type you are. Too confused to do that and want to talk to a rep directly? OK, go to your local department store (Macy's, Nordstroms, Dillard's, etc.) and speak with someone at the actual Clinique counter and they'll help you out. Better yet, hit up Ms. Buttahfly and ask her what's she thinks. She's a rep for Clinique now so she's the best person to ask if you want to talk to someone but not go to a counter. She's very nice and would love to help if she can. Hope this helps!!!
