Lips for Fall that takes you into ANY Season




I recently decided to visit Sephora at my local mall.  There is dedicated store inside of the J.C. Penny's (JCP) store there.  I love their makeup and I love my JCP so I was thrilled to be there!  I looked around at what they had to offer and the smorgasboard of colors had me in makeup heaven!

The staff there were so helpful. They knew when to zone in on their customers, and when to leave them alone which I appreciated very much.  Then when I had questions, one of the lovely associates answered and showed me their latest line of Lip tars. I had an inkling that it was lipgloss.  But I had no idea it was a stain - that's a cross between a lipstick and lipgloss, but gives even more coverage and stays on your lips forever! (hey if my definition is wrong, let me know)


I opted for a red called Black Metallic because it was such a dark and beautiful red.  And also because that's the color I really wanted to have.  It was a gorgeous color and oh my, so bold!!!  It covered my lips fully, giving a rich look to my makeup.  The stain can be very overpowering so when you put it on, you only need just a smidgen at first in the center of your bottom lips, then you can put on more coverage as you want to, making sure to spread it evenly on your lips. 


I love it!  What do you think?  Wouldn't you agree it does give me a gorgeous, bold look?  I also like that it's very sustainable being vegan based! Do you like Sephora makeup? Which is your favorite?  I definitely will be visiting them again!



I'm editing to add a reminder for you to take a look at the photo at the beginning of this article that shows the range of colors in the lip tar mettalic brand.  First of all, that blue, and the orange!!!!! Aren't those just bold choices???  I also liked the nude which looked like bronze. I definitely will be getting myself a blue one. How about you, I'm curious to know which would you buy?

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
