Irrational Beauté: Brown Betty

This look was inspired by my irrepressible sweet tooth! One thing about me is that I love and crave everything sweet, sour, and salty, it's becoming an extreme addiction. One of my favorite dessert would have to be brown betty cake dessert. If you're unfamiliar with this dessert it just your basic yellow cake with brown sugar and pecan pralines topped of with vanilla ice drenched in chocolate syrup and a cherry to garnish ! A mouth full I know but this is something definitely worth a taste!

NAILS Sephora's OPI Be Claus I Said so over Mr. Right Know

I was getting tired of my Girl About Town lacquer. I loved the color but the look didn't last long the lacquer start to fade around the edges after a mere week. I couldn't bared to  keep looking at that worn out look so I ran to my local sallies and got some non acetone just to remove the polish and to keep my acrylics intact.  I had a little staining from the polish I'm assuming it was from not using a strong  remover, but I was okay with it because I was painting over it. I went through two looks before deciding on this on one a I think they came out well for my first attempt despite the fact that this paint job literately took ALL day!

  Acrylic Update:
My nails have slightly grown out so in a week or two I'll need another fill, which is expected . I'm  having slight lift. After I finish this DIY mani set I went to work the next morning can you  believe I chipped my right pinky nail it literally flipped of while I was trying grab a card. Needless to say these nails aren't the sturdiest, but hey you get what you pay for. Right? I'm expecting more to come off soon or maybe they'll hold up until next week. Either way I'll probably revisit the wally world salon you can't bet $12    

My Mini Fragrance Collection

One thing you lovelies should know about me is that I am every in touch with the 5 sense. I love anything that feels good, taste, looks and most of all anything that smells good. I got a new project that I'm working on and its my non existing fragrance collection.  As women I'm overly obsessed with my scent and it's a requirement that I smell good. I've started a new ritual that after I shower it is my feminine duty to cloak myself in things that smell of sugar, spice and everything nice!  so after I bathe w/ cleansing soaps, floral scented shower gels I take things step further by throwing a variety fragrances into the mix.

Curious By Britney Spears

Like most 90's born girls my favorite pop star idle was Britney Spears so it shouldn't be a surprise that I own any of her fragrances. This definitely an oldie but goodie scent for me it was one the first perfumes that I owned . I remember being 13 years old and getting this in a holiday gift set from my mom. At the time that was when BJS obsession was at it's all time high.

Curious has is a little mature scent that I own and is definitely something that I use lightly and I do mean LIGHTLY! Curious is something scent wise is comparable to Elizabeth Taylor 's White diamond because it ha that slight musk smell but not to strong that it makes you smell like old lady. This was the first fragrance that I decided to grab because it reminded me of my youth I got this fragrance in 1 fl oz  or 30ml. I got it in the small size because this usually last me a really long time.

 Killer Queen by Katy Perry

I smelled this fragrance at sephora a while back and just knew I had to have the only down side was that the product was well over $50 and I haven't gotten that far into fragrance that I would fork over that much money for perfume. I got lucky at my job and found the full size 3.4 f oz 100ml for $35 excluding my 10%  employe discount for fragrances. I was obsessed with this scent for a while it was all I was wearing it was something about the sweet smell of wild berries that had me hooked. that was until my mother told me it smelled like tobacco then I stop using it. I still like it but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it because the full size will last me quite some time.

Hidden Fantasy by Britney Spears

I got this one after watching a Doll Face video on youtube. He was raving about all the fantasy scents so I just grab this one because in my opinion it seem like the most unique one in the series and hard to come by. HF is a very festive scent in opinion it smells like peppermint with the hint of citrus which is an odd combo, but at the same time it works. I got this in 1.7 fl oz 50ml just because I wanted to see if I would like it. I might get a bigger size once I run out but I'll only wear it in the fall/winter months.

Believe By Britney Spears

I got this fragrance because a customer recommended it to me. I saw her purchasing it and asked if it smelled nice. she sprayed her sample size for me and from there I was in love. This is my latest fragrance and can you believe that I'm nearly out off it! I've been wearing it everyday for the last month or two and it's just AMAZING. I obsessed with the sweet summer citrus scent and I can't believe that I only got it on 1.7 fl oz. I'm definitely get the full size bottle I don't know what I'll do once it's all gone. 

Get Perfect Brow Definition with ABH Dip Brow Pomade

This is one of those product that I honestly needed in my make up kit and apart of my daily faces regiment. If you've noticed in my older MOTD Beauty posts my brows are very sparce until I started filling them in. Brow arching and sculpting has been one of those techniques that I've had to practice and prefect over the years. I've tried various products like the ELF brow kit, shadows, and several brands of pencils, but none of those products seemed to withstand the extreme Texas summer weather. Most time I would ended up with my brows being smeared from sweat within minute of me living the house.

After seeing some many amazing reviews over Anastasia Beverly Hill's brow products I instantly Knew that I had to have the Dip Brow. This product is everything that it is said to be an then some I was sold on the fact that it was water proof. Dip Brow comes in a variety of flattering color for, blonde, brunettes, and even red heads so it's fit for every race. Before purchasing Dark brown I was unsure of what products to get for my skin tone I was stuck in between getting Chocolate and Dark Brown initially, but after having my brows shaped and filled in I found that I could even go a shade darker with ebony. Needless to say I plan on purchasing all of the darker Dip brows and even the blonde and auburn for my make up kit. I truely believe that ABH is something that every women should be using !   

Alluring Aquatic

So I've been waiting for this collection to drop for months now and what can I say I'm nothing but disappoint by this collection. Truthfully I would I have past all together on this AA, but after seeing the lovely packaging I knew that I had to walk  way with something. I mean who could resist that gorgeous rain drop embedded turquoise bullet despite unappealing products the packaging is very eye  catching, hints the name Alluring Aquatic!








I only watched one review prior to the store released and the one product that I knew I was going to get was the Clear Water lipglass. The name speaks for itself it a nice nude gloss but what made it desirable was that it was loaded with iridescent shimmer. One moment it appears as peachy nude, but under the right lighting you see all the eye catching lilacs and teals within the shimmers!

I would have felt incomplete I only left with a lip glass so I snagged the only lipstick that I felt would be flattering on me. Enchanted One is you're typical peachy matte nude nothing fancy, but I got it because it reminded me of my bad girl riri and I thought it would look nice with its sister lipglass plus it was matte. The only thing that I can say about this lippie is that I'll definitely need a liner for her I was thinking g of something like a red brown like spice lip liner!

Overall this collection was a disappointment for me. I don't think the other products were ebony girl friendly which is why I passed on them but MAC more than sold on the great packaging!

Does her nails match her LIPSTICK?

 While I was browsing through my local mac counter as usual I came a cross some of their nail products
You would think after all these years of me buying MAC products I would know that sold matching nail laquers, glosses and polishes! Where have I been? under a rock apparently. I never get my nails done and my poor nail look piteful from my Onychophagia.... nail biting disorder. I practically bite them down to the numb skin included! Sickening.  I recently added Mac's Girl About Town Lipstick into my collection a few months back so when I realized they had a matching nail polish I new I had to grab it.

Imagine this you're out on the town with your girls in your little black dress hair curled and layed. Your face is beat to the gods with your hot pink lips and matching nails!








I don't know how MAC managed but these two products really are a set to match  and I for one am in love with this dou. I got my nails done at my local Walmart just for something cheap to try this look out I spent under 20. I got them short but next time around I think I want them long like really long or maybe I'll get claws!  I'm definitely feeling the mac polishes they are a little bit of a splurge item for $17 but I feel like I need to have the coordinating polish to my lippies. So stay tuned for more nail looks from me!

Lorde's M.A.C Lipstick, Pure Heroine

I'm not a huge fan of the new upcoming artist Lorde, but I do like her new lippie!
From what I know about her style wise she isn't your everyday girly girl that cakes on make up and falsies. To me Lorde has very relaxed casual look and it seem that she wears minimal to no make up.
In the last year Lorde's look has changed slightly but very noticeable. In my eyes she's gone from being this wild care free girl to being that exact same girl with just a little more GLAM, which I love btw!

Make up wise Lorde doesn't really give you much to look at in awh. Her look usually consist of a very light coverage foundation with your occasional winged liner, accompanied by her usual bold dark berry and my favorite plum lipstick which gives her that extra oomph!

Initially I was quite surprised that mac decided to give her a lipstick  and I thought that I was going to pass on it but after receiving this lippie over the weekend I am happy to say that I didn't on this lipstick. I don't have anything in my collection to dupe it so its unique to me for the moment! I love the texture amps are definitely my summer fav you can never have to much moisture, and the color is build-able. Pure Heroine is double plus in my book I think I'll get a lot of use out of it this fall!
