Hey gals! I just wanted to take a minute to add a few of my favorite YouTubers in a post today because I watched them all do some amazingly cute nail tutorials this week inspired by New Year’s Eve glitz and glam. So here you go, enjoy them, they are all from great makeup gurus who you may or may not watch but I thought they were so cute.
Showing off my handy work of what keeps me from going bored at night when I am up working and taking phone calls. I was inspired to recreate one of Makeup Geek’s girlie looks that she did a few weeks ago, of course using dupes of whatever products I have in my collection already. I think if I had plans to go out for NYE tonight I would definitely wear this and perhaps do it as glam as I could with some glitter maybe too. I don’t know who knows. Plus size ladies need to look their cutest too don’t they? But nevertheless, I am not going out tonight I am working because I have an itchy case of hives from a shellfish allergy and I would not be in the partying mood.
The products I used to create the look are:
Illuminance Creme Shadows in Wild Orchid by Revlon – 2nd color from left as base on lid only.
Purple eyeshadow pictured in video- it’s not a MAC it’s a knock off just find something that shade, pat that onto the wild orchid creme base you have applied.
H.I.P. pigment in Fiery blend that above the crease from the purple up towards brow bone.
H.I.P. Dashing Duo – using pink as highlight below brow and black on the outer corner to darken the V
Milani Infinite purple liquid liner -upper lash line
Milani brow kit
Sonia Kashuk black gel liner set with purple shadow- below lower lash line
Sonia Kashuk black eyeliner -inner lash line
Femme Couture silver cloud mineral pigment from Sally Beauty on tear duct
Hey gals, I just wanted to let you all know that Macy’s and Fashion Bug are extending last minute door buster sales so you can squeeze in some extra savings before the Christmas arrives. If you need to get any last minute gifts you can save an extra 15-20% from Macy’s and get FREE shipping on all orders.
I recorded a video last night about my personal feelings about size acceptance and what it means to me at this point in my life. I have come to realize that force feeding anything down people’s throats who don’t want to accept us for who we are is perfectly fine for me. Having recently been reminded of how much I love being an individual who has the freedom to make my own personal choices, this got me to thinking about knowing when to pick and choose your battles wisely and carefully. BBW and BHM are always going to be here and there are always going to be people who don’t like us and feel that we should not have the right to dress how we want to dress or have the kind of lifestyles that we aspire to.
I say that it’s time we just carve out our own niche and create our own Big lifestyle t aspire to that has nothing to do with anything that isn’t positive and willing to celebrate every size. We are talented, beautiful and we have money to spend just like everyone else. There is no reason why we should not be able to achieve status like anyone else. We just need someone to create it for us so we can go out and grab our share of the pie. I will be waiting designers and I hope that you deliver and deliver big!
I grabbed another great tracksuit today from Fashion bug and got it for only $19.98! They have currently from now until the 14th a Buy One, Get One 50% off the entire store and site. So I used my additional coupon that I got in the mail and basically got the pants for free. So with the extra money that I saved from that I went to CVS and picked up a couple of items that I had been waiting to buy from Milani which were these great liquid liners and an eyebrow kit. Also Lane Bryant is running the same sale Buy One Get One 50% off the entire site and store as well. So lets stimulate the economy ladies!!
Just wanted to take a minute to update my blog and let you all know what I have been up to. Well for starters, I finally recorded a new video today and it will be going up on youtube probably tonight or tomorrow. Right now there is something screwy with the flipcam software so I can’t get the videos off of the camera. Once I fix that then I can upload. So I wanted to give you notice about Torrid’s holiday sale that they have going on and there is only three days left to get $30 off any $100 purchase from them.
Also I was surfing around on Fashion Bug this afternoon and noticed that they are having a different sale every day until Christmas and today they have a buy one get one half off on active wear. Be sure to check back at Fashion Bug everyday to see what new promotion they will have going on.
Finally I JUST got an email stating that Kiyonna.com has lowered prices to meet the needs of their customers during this rough economy. I personally love the style of Kiyonna’s clothing and am very happy to hear that they are taking the current economic state to heart and have made this decision to make their prices more affordable for their customers.
So check back tomorrow for an update and new video from me and if you haven’t subscribed to my youtube channel make sure you do! Take care for now!
