Bold Lips: Get the KA'OIR Look

A new trend that is making its way around is super bold lips in colors you couldn't imagine - yellows, greens, blues - and I love it! Though I probably would not choose to wear these colors on a daily basis and incorporate them into my regimen or regular collection, I appreciate the creativity and boldness of the makers of these colors and the women who are wearing them like it's nobody's business. I swear, it's like color-blocking  for your face lol!

The first line I saw featuring said colors was KA'OIR by model/stylist Keyshia Dior. You may remember her as a featured model in several Hip Hop videos and magazines. Her cosmetics line is amazing! Especially the lipsticks  - however, they sell for a pretty penny. Check out some of the colors below:

Pool Party - $18.99

Banana Milkshake - $14.99

Neon Rockstarr by Trina Rockstarr - $21.99
*Limited Edition

Glitz - $17.99

Check out the rest of the line on their website: www.kaoir.com.

Ahhhh! I love love love the pizzazz the entire line radiates. However, I do believe that the more eccentric colors are rather trendy and will not be "on the in" for too long. Now, the other colors, I may just have to invest. For those of you who like the look but aren't ready to drop the cash for these colors, I wanted to show you a way to get the look without having to dish out nearly $20. Check out my video below:

This technique can get you the look of any lip color you can imagine as long as you have the eyeshadow to match. That's another reason why it's great to pick up one those eyeshadow collections I mentioned during my Holiday Post; they're really a steal and the things you can do with that many colors are endless. With the right pigment (Sally Girl Sparkle Effects in Gold Digger), you can even get the look of Ka'oir's Glitz for $1.

I love it, the boldness of it all, just love it! Now whether I'd be bold enough to wear this out of the house is another question!

How about you?

Glam-Book Inspiration

Hey Everyone,

I posted about my Glam-book a few days ago and I hope that it has inspired you all to perhaps start your own or to compare and contrast your setup to mine. I wanted to share some pictures I recently added to my Glam-Book:

Glam-Book: Do you have one?

So for a few days I have been thinking about what I should next or the topics I should be covering in my posts. I eventually realized that I started this blog as an extension of me - wanting to share my love for all things glamour while learning from others by reading their blogs/vlogs and learning about their thoughts/ideas/expressions of hair, fashion, makeup, and everything else. All that aside I figured, I need not think too much about what to post, just share me! So the first thing I thought was let me share my Glam-Book - PURE INSPIRATION.
I'm pretty sure that every girl out there has some form of a Glam-Book and if you don't then please start one NOW! My Glam-Book (which I'm sure may go by a different name for anyone that has one) contains pictures of outfits, makeup looks, hair styles, wedding-planning ideas (as if I'm getting married soon - s.m.h.) decoration ideas, Vendors (hair companies, accessories dealers, online boutiques), and everything else that inspires me. I get happy and excited looking at the pictures featured!!! Here's a snapshot of my Glam-Book that I update using Microsoft Office's OneNote:

Do any of you have a similar Or different version of your own Glam-Book?

Girl Crush: Tae Heckard

I have a girl crush. Do you guys ever get totally enraptured with just how beautiful another female is? Well that's how I feel about model/actress Tae Heckard best known for playing Jazz on the CW/BET's The Game. I mean, she is beautiful physically of course, with hair to die for, but the thing that I love the most about her is the unmistakable confidence that she exudes in all of her pictures. That my friends (confidence), is the best accessory any woman can ever wear - free of charge. Check out her tumblr, http://oozeawesomejuice.tumblr.com - after discovering it, it made me love her even more!

Boldly,

Moji

Hi There!

Hey There!

I've been a bad bad very naughty girl, disappearing right before the New Year began. I'm sorry for this and will try not to make long gaps like this anymore. Nonetheless, Happy New Year...though late as it is. I hope you all are doing very well.

Bold Kisses,
Moji
