They're Back Babyyyyy

I saw a comment on Twitter about how Kanye and Jay-Z are two grown men talking about material things in their video and how they need to grow up or something like that, which prompted me to watch it...

Hmmm... Can we acknowledge the fact that Jay looks so happy in the video. My youngest sis even said 'this is the first time I've seen him smile like that'. They took it back with the American flag in the back reminds me of a Big Pun video or even Jay's H O V A video!!! Arghhhhhhhhhh *Nicki Minaj twitch* - videos like these get me so excited, takes me back to the hip hop I grew up on with all those Hype Williams productions. LOL!!!

I LOVE IT....

Small Haul

I've been meaning to post this for a while but just didn't have the time to... (I guess I do now, since I have the FLU    -___- )...

Do you remember how much I raved about a new mascara 'Falsifeye' in a previous post, click here if you missed it. I had been using that tube religiously just hoping they would release it... and THEY DID! *insert Carlton dance here* I really love this product. It was available to buy in Boots stores from July 13th and I made sure I bought it shortly after that. You will notice a small tube or pot next to the mascara in the pictures above, well... Boots were giving away a pot of gel eyeliner with every mascara purchased. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I use eyeliner all the time and this gel eyeliner is great, it gives you a nice clean line...no smudges. They even give you a teeny brush to apply the liner (I do suggest getting a bigger one if you're not good with fiddly things like me).

I also bought Revlon ColorStay in Mahogany. Now before you comment, please understand that I was not a fan ,of buying foundation from Boots/Superdrug etc. I used to think that the quality was represented by the price - how wrong could I have been! After breaking out so much from MAC's foundation, I started to research brands that I could try that would be skin friendly. The Revlon foundation came up along with Nars, Bobbi Brown and YSL (I have previously tried YSL - review on that another time). I decided to buy it after seeing so many good reviews on YouTube (you guys know I  love me some YouTube - its like an online review site for anything and everything) and it actually is really good.

I picked up the combination/oily skin bottle and it really does leave a nice, matte, not overly done finish. The only problem I had with this was my colour choice, when picking the colour I chose Mahogany because it really seemed like it would be my shade. FAIL!!! It came out so much darker and I thought I could get away with it but after going out and seeing the contrast between my neck and face, I realised I had to let it go. The next shade down was Cappuccino but it just looked so light and it had more of a red based colour than a yellow (make up heads you know what I mean). I've figured I might buy that colour anyway and mix the two to see what colour I do end up with.

To be honest, I did buy this a while ago and I don't use any foundation now - LONG. The small haul turned into a long review. Soz!

Isn't She Lovely?

Am I Wrong?

I was watching this video (yes I am on Youtube A LOT) and read the comments below but when I read this comment, I fell off my bed. I just burst out laughing... am I wrong for that?

'My boyfriend doesn't mind weaves or wigs, but he absolutely hates make up. This is a major problem 4 me because I'm obsessed with make up. I don't wear it often, but when we step out with our son I do like to wear it. The second I put on make up he is upset. He claims tht I look so much better with out it and it reminds him when he seen his grandma dead in the coffin wearing make up 4 the 1st time.....what am I supposed 2 do? Stop wearing I'm something I love when he gets so mad?'
