milani power lip gloss stain in creamy cafe

I went with a lighter makeup look to see how it would go. I learned that the Ben Nye powders DO NOT control oil. I was oily on my nose after a few hours...and I have dry skin. I have been experimenting with some eyeshadows I had been neglecting, because I am thinking about doing a project pan with some of my naked palette shades. I also bought the lip color on Monday at CVS because I have no will power... Its a long wearing lip gloss from Milani  in a pretty pinkish nude color. I think it looks good. Its hard to pair lippies with pinky toned eyeshadows!

On the teaching side, I was told I looked happier while teaching today. I think I am. 

Nuff Love,

Revlon Matte Balm in Standout

I'm actually liking the Black Radiance BB cream. It barely gives any coverage at all, and its a little darker than my skin so I thought it would be a no-go. But once I put on the concealer (Kim K style) and powered it looked like a pretty medium coverage. I reapplied the red lips once during my planning period and they he'd up like champs. I did notice that some of the product built up where my lips meet and I had to scrape the gunk off so that wasn't pretty. I am thinking about trying to pan a red lipstick so the Matte balm was my first stab at seeing whether or not I could stand doing it. I'm really not sure yet, especially with teaching I can't have lipstick everywhere and I can't reapply or check it often like I feel the need to. 

On another note, I solo-taught all day long all by myself! Im so proud of that :). I was a little nervous knowing that my teaching coach wasn't there but I have to say I rocked it. It wasn't perfect, but I've already realized that it will never be perfect so I'm happy. 

Another accomplishment: I bought 0 things for black friday/cyber monday! I am participating in boycotting the sales in solidarity with Ferguson. All weekend I only bought some yoni eggs from Organic Blood, which is a black owned business and some kanekalon braiding hair. 

Hope you had a great start to your week as well. 

K love you bye,

Jess
