Alas, I am a slave to my own vanity. Once described as Classic with a Twist, my obsession with 1960's silouettes & poise consummated with my edgy rock & roll approach to everyday life result in this scorching hot beautiful mess. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it. Welcome to my avid love affair with what I most admire, the items in my closet & the treasures on my vanity.

Lookbook: (Aqua/silver motif)
There are days when I get a Chance to explore & this was one of them.
My brown skin makes it incredibly challenging to get any type of pigment to last on my eyelids. (Except for MAC- I'm trying to build on that collection but they are pretty damn expensive).
Eyes.
The colors on my eyes are actually all from Victoria's Secret's wet/dry Beauty line. I'll take pics & upload them soon but this whole having a BlackBerry thing is working against me right now!
Mascara is from Supernova called Fresh (got that from the Sephora Deluxe Mascara Sampler- which was a great purchase & I'd reccomend to everyone).
Eyebrows & liner are Maybelline.
Lips.
The color on my lips is from MAC's feline collection called Jealous (its the green one, rightly so. I also have Fancy Cat with is the dark one)
Powder is also from MAC (they're the only ones that carry a powder with enough yellow undertones for my face. All the other companies assume all black people have red undertones. )
The headband is from none other than Forever XXI. I purchased it along with a white one. It's great for days when I feel like just throwing it into a bun.
