I am going to attach the article I read that has all the…

Monday Motivation

Hello Beauties!!!

I don’t even know if “long time, no see” is even appropriate to say lol . It has been a long 5 months since my last post so please forgive me. So much has happened, mainly just me working a lot and taking a couple vacations, and a new work position, however that is no excuse to abandon my blogger lifestyle and all of you of course (kisses). Let’s jump right back into the swing…

Monday Motivation

Have a peaceful Monday!

Hello Beauties!

As always I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready to face the week ahead. This week’s motivation is a little different from the others in the sense that I want to touch on current events. I chose a powerful quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. because it is really fitting to what is happening in communities all over the country.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to…

  Happy Monday Beauties!

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend, and are ready for the week ahead. I missed last week’s motivational post, time just got away from me. But here I am with a positive word 😊. This week’s motivation is about love.

If nothing else, love yourself

Self-love is so important and I think we forget that from time to time. It’s important to love ourselves not just so…

Hey, Hey Beauties!

Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend!! Mine seemed to be a 3 day celebration, with one event just rolling into the next :-) Good times, with good people :-). So today’s quote/motivation comes from this picture that I stumbled across. 

“Don’t ever let anyone dull your sparkle”. We have all been given gifts, and talents. Some of us have discovered them, some of us are still…

Monday Motivation

Happy Monday, be encouraged today!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

I hope that you survived the heatwave this past weekend!! I love summer but when it starts reaching high 90’s it’s a little too hot for me. :-)

Today I want to encourage you not to settle for anything less than you deserve. I have noticed more and more recently that people have just lowered their standards on what they believe their life could be. When I speak of…

Monday Motivation (on a Tuesday)

Need a little push? Or words of encouragement? This may be just what you need :-)

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and had an opportunity to take in some sun :-). Today’s quote is from Milton Berle:

” If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door”

Sometimes you can’t just sit around and wait for opportunities to appear, you have to create them for yourself. If you know you have what it takes to reach your goals, put yourself out there and go for it. If…

Hello Beauties! Happy Friday to each and every one of you :-)

So two weeks ago Ulta and Sephora released the Makeupshayla Contour Palette. This was the 2nd release the first was done a couple months ago on the Tarte website. This palette is marketed for all skin types and skin tones. Let me tell you it did not disappoint!! 

So palette can really be used all over the face, even though it’s called a “Contour Palette”. There are six beautiful shades 2 contour shades, blush, color corrector, and 2 highlight shades, all of which can be used as eye shadow.

The colors are very pigmented! Which is always a plus. They are easy to blend and they smell great too. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a palette with a scent lol. I typically have very sensitive skin so I try to stay away from applying anything with fragrance on my face, but this did not irritate my skin at all. I used every shade on the palette and I loved it :-). 

I’ll give you the breakdown of all the products I used:

Foundation: Mac Studio Fix

Loreal Paris: Eye brow pencil “brunette”

LA Girl Cosmetics: “Creamy Beige” concealer as a brow hightlight

Lips: Wet and Wild “Chestnut” lip liner and Tarte Cosmetics “Namaste” lip paint

Eyelashes: Vegas Nay “Grand Glamour”

Eyes: MakeupShayla contour palette. The lightest contour shade as a base, the darkest contour shade to deepen the crease, the medium shimmer highlight on the lid, and the lightest highlight shade in my tear ducts

Cheeks: Blush is from the same contour palette

Setting Powder: Laura Mercier

MakeupShayla Contour Palette

Makeupshayla Contour Palette

So at the end of the day would I recommend this palette…ABSOLUTELY! It’s definitely worth the invest because it can be used so many ways, while still using minimal product. As always I hope that you liked this post, if you would like to see another look with this palette let me know :-) Until next time…

  Be Blessed Beauties,

Happy Friday Beauties, check out my look using the MakeupShayla Contour Palette Hello Beauties! Happy Friday to each and every one of you :-) So two weeks ago
