Obsession: Plum

I never thought I could be obsessed with so many things at once, or how fast my obsessions could change. 

My love of dark lips first started when I was watching music videos of mary j blige, aaliyah, tlc and other divas of r&b and hip hop. Early 90's was a great time for the dark lip. 
                    
                       Other inspirations came from Drew Barrymore post poison ivy pixie cut phase 

                                                          
                                                      and of course, Nancy from The Craft 

I'm not so into the whole gothic look, since it has trickled down into stores like Forever 21, and has been popularized by girls who move to New York and buy combat boots to wear to class at nyu to look edgy. 

That being said, I do like me a dark lip. The only one I own is a Mac lipstick in the color Diva
This is my perfect shade of dark plum/berry and looks amazing with any outfit. Just don't wear eyeliner or you'll look like you're trying too hard!

Another lip that I love is Mac Media lipstick. Here is the supermodel Chanel Iman below:
instant attitude without looking like taylor momsen

I'm kind of sad that I found this out late in the season, as I could have been rocking my dark lip in October. But if we run into eachother out at night, you will def see me wearing a dark lip!

Golden Globes, My Opinion if You Care

Diana Agron's makeup is perfect glamour, and her hair is even better! Her eyes look beautiful and her berry toned lips warm up her skin tone.
I don't really care for her as a person but I do applaud her perfect use of a nude lip.
no. i hate her lipstick and her hair looks like an egg.
this on the other hand is so gorgeous.here she is at the black swan premiere. 
j.lo mami, stay away from the icey hues, other than that she looks good in wispy lashes.
i dont know how i feel about the blonde, its a little lindsay lohan. her skin looks good though!! i also liked her dress
ok, i get the classic bun. i really just threw this one in because i fucking loved her in The Client List, please see it. she plays a texas housewife turned prostitute.

My New Best Friend (otherwise known as the Clarisonic Mia)

Today as I was coming downstairs from washing my face, I couldn't contain myself. I had this overwhelming urge to write about my new best friend, and holy grail cleansing tool: the Clarisonic. 

For those of you living under a rock, the Clarisonic is a vibrating facial brush that you use to cleanse your face. I know I'm not the best at describing things but it's basically an electric toothbrush for your face! 


These are the cute new colors they come in!!! I want the lavender of course.. Anyway, the benefits include:

1. Removes 6x more makeup than manual cleansing
2. Leaves skin feeling smoother
3. Cleanses better so products therefore absorb better
4. Reduce pores

I got this product as a gift for christmas, but i've been wanting it long before that. Let me tell you, it really works. After about two weeks of using my Clarisonic, my skin became EXTREMELY smooth and soft. Today I touched my face and thought I was a baby, for real. Not only this, but i can't see my pores at all, they're like gone!!!!!! After I take my makeup off with my Boscia Makeup Breakup Cleansing Oil, I use this guy. I put a dime size amount of whatever cleanser I am using and use it in circular motions around my face. After about a minute it turns off and I wash my face, leaving my skin totally and i mean totally free of dirt, oil and grossness. Don't you want your skin to look like a babies? Duh. Ok, rant over, I just really think this works.
