RED LIPS: A BOLD FASHION STATEMENT!!! Part 1

         RED LIPSTICKS......It's the beauty product that can take you from zero to sexy in a few seconds and is loved by women the world over - RED lipstick. A crimson pout screams Hollywood starlet and every fashionista knows how much fun it is to play around with finding your perfect shade. Why do we women wear red lipstick?

1.  RED is a color that makes women more sensual, energetic, sexy, and more bolder. Red lipsticks are associated with passion, seduction, and flamboyance.*Girl power*
2.  An essential chink in the Armour of powerful women everywhere.
3.  Men like it the most, because it subconsciously reminds them of reddened lips......and because men like it so much, women wear it to be popular with the opposite sex.
4. Red lipstick is a source of strength,’ says Poppy King, creator of Lipstick Queen. ‘You put it on and suddenly you feel more capable than you did without it.’
5. According to the British zoologist, Desmond Morris (The Naked Ape, 1967), the widespread practice of enhancing the RED color of the lips was due to a biological analogy with the labia, because these flush red and swell when women are aroused .*clears throat* 

      There are a lot of reasons ladies and some men*straight face* wear RED lipsticks sadly though some women of color feel RED is strictly for white ladies, THATS SO FALSE!!! As long you pick the right shade for your skintone,You are good to go *thumbs up*. For those "doubting thomas" ,these pics of our African American celebrities should prove my theory!

so 1940s! A really dramatic pin up look

Hey,SEXY LADY!!!

     I hope this proves my case*bows*. Now am gonna walk you through the history on how this iconic lip color evolved over the years.  One of the first accounts of wearing red lipstick came from the Mesopotamian women (and often men) who used to adorn their lips with crushed semi-precious stones.Later, Cleopatra was known for crushing beetles and ants to get the right shade of scarlet for her hot lips.(things women do)

     The phrase 'Kiss Of Death' was coined because of the harmful mixture of fucus-algin, iodine, and bromine mannite that Egyptian women used to create lipstick. Highly toxic, the concoction often led to serious illness and sometimes death. (thank God for technology) As the trend developed, safer ways to make lipstick were found and by the time Britain's Queen Elizabeth I took a liking to the product, it was made of beeswax and plants.

As the celebrity culture developed, so did the focus on what they wore and which beauty looks they favo-

oh! that crimson pout!

ured. Marilyn Monroe became known for her sensual red pout along with other starlets like Elizabeth Taylor in the '50s. It wasn't until the '80s, when Madonna sported the shade, that MAC introduced their first line of lipsticks. The popstar wore the Russian Red shade, helping it enjoy global success.

     Seriously, what more can i say! Pink,orange,purple,honey,nude,black lips are sexy and trendy but no lipstick does it better than RED, oh that gorgeous RED! Even the act of applying RED lipstick is empowering. By dressing your lips in red, it draws people’s attention to you, especially your mouth, and subsequently, the words that come out of it.*true story*

Why I LOve Box Braids to pieces!

       Booooxxxxxx Braaaaaiiiiidddddssss aka Bob Marley aka long feathers etc etc. What are Box braids? Box braids are called so because of the pattern they form when parting your natural hair i.e square patterns. I'm totally and absolutely in love with box braids (if my boo hears this),the braids are light,easy to style,good for natural hair recovery! I don't like sticking with 1 look for a period of time so box braids are it for me,gives a seemingly more bohemian, goddess-like feel, making for a very exotic and powerful look(bla,bla,bla). After watching some Youtube videos on Box Braids styling,i just had to braid my hair and am so loving the looks i get every time i style dem braids, the way it changes my face and outfit, AWESOME! its so good sometimes i don't recognise myself when am done,lolzzz.

    These days some of our favourite celebrities are seriously rocking Box braids,its becoming the trendiest hairstyle this summer. Hawt chics every where have been going 90′s retro with the chunky waist length braids. Its a beautiful sight to behold! Celebrities like Solange knowles, Beyonce, Brandy, Jada Pinkett, Kandi having been hitting us with 1 awesome look to the next! Whoever styles their braids is so gooooodddd! Sometimes i can't wrap my head around Solanges wraps or buns.....Jeezzz. Instead of talking too much, let me show you a few pics of the Wow braids!

MY LOVE FOR STATEMENT OR DRAMATIC BROWS!

Hey wonderful people,
  I'm a browless sista! yes i said it! (*shedding crocodile tears*) A lot of hot girls like yours truly (*batting eyelashes*) are hairless above our eyes but due to the saving Grace of God some of us have powerful making brain skills for battling our brows (*grins*).
  My statement brows make me feel so good about myself,took me almost a year to perfect my arches and it was worth it! That awesome feeling you get when a fellow sista stops to admire the work of art on your brows.....its fulfilling (*floating*). Better yet that amazing awesome extraordinary feeling you get when a tall, dark/fair and handsome man says he loves my brows......that feeling of euphoria (note: am not high on cheap or expensive drugs).
   You may ask yourself what is this young lady blabbing about. Well,am about to state the advantages of having good Statement brows!

1. It defines your facial features especially for round shaped faces like mine.
2. It makes u look well groomed.....hmmmm.
3. With well groomed and defined brows,its all the makeup you need for an everyday look.
4. Statement brows make you look classy and elegant like Marilyn Monroe(*tongue in cheek*).

There are so many other advantages! Now depending on how much interest is shown i may give an eyebrow tutorial,i really want other sistas to feel as good as i do when my brows are done. I'l post before and after pics to show the magic i perform whenever i do my brows(*grins*). Please try not to fall off your seats with laughter from the sight of my brows.


Yes,your browless sista (dont laugh too hard)



i love my BROWS!!!

 I'm very sure you can see the advantages of Statement brows now,it should be abundantly clear at this rate. CIAO for now.......wanna take more shots of this wonderful face my father in heaven gave me.

Please don't hesitate to comment. i love feedback.xoxo!
