Where do I really Begin..... Since my senior year in high school (99) I became more obsessed with makeup. I took a trip with my choir girls to Pentagon City Mall in VA.
We stopped at a Nordstrom's where MAC was being sold. Looking at that makeup counter and seeing all the beautiful products is where i went full force. I began collecting and
wearing all MAC Everything LOL. I loved it. I made monthly trips to collect new products and stay up on trend. In 2006/2007 I said let me try to apply at MAC since i loved it
so much. I tried and didn't get the job. I didn't let that stop me. I took that as a sign that i needed to perfect my craft. I tried again in 09 and started working in the PG plaza
location in MD. Stayed there for 2 years and had to resign due to motherhood. My youngest is now 3 and I work from home consulting and doing makeup. I spend a lot of time engaging with others with the same passion and even assisting where i can. I love to share knowledge and help others follow in their purpose. I am a very social person and I feel that is
essential. I hope that I am able to provide a platform for those with questions and for me or others to provide others with answers. In the meantime please browse my site or social platforms for beauty looks, reviews and etc. Thanks so much for the continued support and hope to chat with you all in the near future :-)

I got Soooooooo Many compliments on this look for my Bday....it was just enough and not over the top for my special day. I wanted a nice glow with bold lashes and a beautiful nude lip and this is how i achieved the look.

Look Using the Awesome SmashBox Full Exposure Palette. I won this palette in a Hastag #shapematters contest a few months ago. I had been curious about this palette since the moment I saw it. I am so glad I was able to finally get one. I am known to be in love with neutral shadow colors. The fact that is has both shimmer in matte it was made me truly want to get my hands on it. The colors are smooth and pigmented in my honest opinion. Applying the shimmer colors with a damp brush gives the shimmers such a nice payoff on the eye. This palette is available for purchase for $49.99. Tell me what you guys think?

I was blessed and given the opportunity to try out some amazing products from Motives Cosmetics. I'm sure you have seen all the pictures and videos of their products all over social media recently. I have used most of these products and have posted quite a few pictures on my social media platforms using their products. I AM IN LOVE. I still get people asking me how are the products, and I want to be able to give you my honest opinion on what I received. It was honestly like christmas when I received these items. I was very excited. So I will give you the list and state how I like that product. ******* 3 N 1 Contour Kit *********I literally use this everyday. Gives me a nice natural contour pay off ******** Dual Foundations (neutral golden & medium golden)********I haven't used these yet but I plan to *******Translucent powders in (medium, dark & trans)*******I absolutely love these.

Runway has definitely become one of my everyday blushes ********** Liner Green Envy Glitter in gold digger Matte black liner *********** If you have seen my pictures you guys know that I am in love with the black liquid liner.

However I apply a second coat and I'm good to go *********** Glitter Pots Jewel Pink Magic Dust Diamond Vivid Blue Pot of gold Plum fairy Lagoon Blue Karma Moon dust Mineral shadow If you dare she sparkles mesmerize Cha ching rust and marshmallow**************** the glitter pots and shadows are The Business. easy to blend, apply, and the glitters are eye safe ********Mineral Lip (Medium Payoff) Brilliant, Unstoppable, Petal pink Rosewood, Rose berry Lipsticks by Loren Angelika, bare skin, pin up, risky, citrus, penny, sassy, girl talk, park avenue, wisteria, bubble gum, Jezebel, autumn, tangerine, knock out, soft nude, Cleopatra, mimosa, orange coral, bare foot, after hours, nude beach, satin, cashmere, pink Bellini, pink berry, use me Mineral lip shine (sheer buildable) Rose, toasty delight, adore me, scandal, kiss me, passion, celeb, Soho pink Illuminating lip shine (sheer) Miami heat, sangria, fashion week Wild honey****************** The Lip products are a WIN for me. Very creamy in texture. Some are shimmer and some are sold color tones. some of the best lipsticks I have ever tried. The Glosses are sheer and some have medium color pay off. I keep a color in my purse at all times. Especially the lip glosses with the mirror and light on them..omg.....the cutest. *****10 years younger finishing spray****** is also a Win for me. Keeps my makeup in place and skin hydrated throughout the day. I also received ****wipes**** with my package but of course those are gone... the only con about those is to me they feel a little rough on the skin and if you get that wipe on your lip and you lick your lips.....its a bitter taste lol. Overall it gets the job done. This concludes my Motives Cosmetics Experience. Follow My Instagram for looks using the products. Thanks Tammy
