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?

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
