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.

Here's what I used to create this look:

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!!
