So I let all our readers know back in December that Tarina Taratino was working on a beauty collection exclusively for Sephora… well here it is, and it’s available for purchase! I personally can’t wait to head over to Sephora and grab some of these goodies! I love Tarina’s style and accessories, so I wouldn’t mind accenting myself with some of her beauty products. This collection totally reminds me of stuff I used to have in my costume collection. You can see the entire collection here, and start shoppin!

The Power of make-up

powerful-makeup

So, it wasn’t very long ago that I had a talk with my girl Kymby and one of our guy friends, on what he thought about women who wear make-up. He went on about how he really liked women who wore a lot of make-up, and thought it made the majority of women way more attractive. Kymby and I went on to say how we thought it could  transform someone into looking like a completely different person. He told how he met a girl, brought her home, did the do, and had make-up all over his face. She then came out, and looked like a stranger. My point? I really don’t have one, I love make-up, I love that woman can have the ability to beautify themselves. I have my monthly breaks of bad skin, and my mineral make-up saves me from looking like pizza face sometimes. Feminist Franny comes out, and says why can’t our natural beauty be accepted? With all the concealer, powder, mineral shiz, foundation etc, some of us who rock  the natural look are looked down as unattractive. Anyway, this was more of a rant then a productive piece of writing, but check out how this chick transforms her self with make-up. I was pretty surprised. On another note though, I don’t think make-up is completely misleading, because if a guy is attracted to me, he’s probably attracted to the shape of my face, my eyes, my lips, etc. Make-up doesn’t transform your features, it just emphasizes them right? Make-up is f*cking amazing ya’ll!!!

Did Nicole Kidman not look in the mirror before she walked on the Red Carpet? OH MY GAWD… This is what Nicole Kidman looked like  at the Premiere of her new movie NINE. Is this like the new “coke is hot leave residue on your nose” look? What’s your opinion? SMH
