The Little Black Dress Is Still Classic With A Pop Of Color!

The ultimate couture look of an all black ensemble will never go out of style. It's timeless, elegant and yes very slimming!! A win, win situation!

Be that as it may... adding a little color to all black gives it a whole new look that keeps the trendy city look going from day at the office with color to an all black chic evening.

On The Surface: Foundation, Foundation! - What A Dilemma!

Choosing a foundation that works for your skin tone and doesn't wreak havoc to your skin can sometimes become like a Mission Impossible assignment. Of course through trials and mishaps we find out quickly.. what works for us and what doesn't!

Being a woman of color and attempting to find that perfect foundation makes it that much more tedious. We've come a long way from just having 3 choices in foundation, Light, Medium & Dark. Thank goodness! LOL

I've come up with my top 3 picks of the BEST liquid foundation on the market for any skin tone and/or skin type (Dry, Oily or Combination).

*In addition, don't be afraid to mix 2 shades together to perfect your ideal foundation shade. However, with the plethora of shades available on the market today... you can find that perfect shade in one bottle!

Enjoy!


Top 3 Foundation Picks:

1. Revlon ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex (My Shade: Caramel - 400)
Price: $14.99

This foundation is freaking amazing. It feels good on the skin and is not heavy. It's very light and long lasting throughout the day, even if you don't use a primer. Aside from the above mentions, the price and shade variety makes this foundation from Revlon a standout alone as my pick as the BEST FOUNDATION ON THE MARKET! Available at any Drugstore. Overall my complete favorite foundation!


2. Mac Studio Fix Fluid (My Shade - NW45)
Price: $29.00

The Studio Fix Fluid foundation is a gem! The coverage it gives is flawless yet not heavy. It's longlasting as well. With the name MAC, you pretty much can't lose. MAC Studio Fix is more than double the cost of Revlon's Colorstay. However, if you want your skin to have that "look"... the price factor won't matter. Studio Fix has awesome shade varieties, so you will find your Perfect shade. (In any MAC store or at a MAC counter, the consultant will be able to match your skin tone to a shade! You will luv this product!


3. IMAN LUXURY RADIANCE LIQUID MAKEUP (My Shade - Earth 2)
Price: $14.99


Photobucket

As far as coverage goes, Iman's Luxury Liquid Make-up is fabulous. The shades are very flattering to the correct skin tone. The price is sorta okay for the product. I had a difficult time attempting to find my shade, but ultimately I did. This product was a trip trying to locate it locally. You can purchase IMAN make-up at your local CVS, Walgreens, Wal-mart etc.. Yet, trying to find my shade was a bit.. well, Ugh!! LOL. It's not the fault of the cosmetic company, just lousy store managers who weren't ordering the products. I basically ended up purchasing the product online. I will say now.. the selection of IMAN products locally have improven drastically. Perhaps my phone calls to the corporate offices of a couple of retailers did the trick! :) Overall, good buy.

Does My Blackberry Deserve To Be Accessorized! Oh Yes!! -- Lux It Is!!

Okay... I'm really addicted to my Blackberry Curve. Have been for almost 2 years.  How much so?? Well I nearly had a caniption fit when I dropped it on the CEMENT one day stepping out the car. The little standard cases that come with the Blackberry (*Sighs*) did not protect it at all... It fell out the sleeve! The scratches that were all over the screen and phone itself just had to go. Once I received a new one... I so needed to upgrade the case situation.. Like Pronto!

The answer to my problem.. was Lux Addiction!

At www.LuxAddiction.Com,  you will find the most stylish cell phone cases ever! Their cases are made for a wide range of phones including Blackberry / Iphones and are adorned with beautiful Swarovski Crystals that come in a variety of designs.

Now trust... I'm not trying to drop this case either!! LOL -   Enjoy!

Price: $79.95 / $109.95
