Who Rocked Their Curves the Best

Hey Curvy Cuties,

About  week ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Kenyatta Johnson founder of the organization,  I Rock My Curves the Best "The Movement", at a casting call/ interest meeting she hosted in Raleigh, NC. If your unfamiliar with this curvy movement, let me give you the real. This movement is a membership based curvy sisterhood, that was created to empower, uplift, celebrate, and embrace women with curves. It was such an amazing experience, to have had the chance to sit in during the auditions. There was so many beautiful women that came to audition and also to support IRMC during this time. The one thing that really stuck with me from the auditions, was when each of the women that were auditoning was presented the question, "Why did you choose to want to be apart of IRMC?'  Each women generally stated, that they want to inspire other full figured women to be confident and to see there inward beauty.

Mini Interview w/ Kenyatta Johnson

How did your started your movement "I Rock My Curves the Best"?

Kenyatta Johnson: It started itself by plus size and full figured women living their daily lives. This movement gives women in our community a platform to shine and also to encourage others that have yet to see their inner beauty.

I am also the owner of 'My Sweet Skin' The Skin & Makeup Company, which provides natural skincare products for the face and body. I am also a professional makeup artist and I provide those services as well.

Whats in the future for IRMC?

The future  for IRMC is just to spread the movement worldwide, and to keep encouraging women of all shapes to believe in themselves.

Chic in the City

Hey Beauties,
I want to take my blog to the next level and do some physical styling for you. Last week I took a trip to It's Fashion, if your unfamiliar with this franchise it a women's apparel store very similar to Rainbow. While browsing through the racks I came across this printed shift dress. The pattern and vibrant colors caught my eye by first glance and then my heart indulged. I figured this would be a great piece to express my style perspective. Pairing the shift dress with black accessories allowed this dress to truly shine.

Purse: ALDO

Holiday Makeup Series: Berry Christmas

Hey Beauties,
So I know I've been on another hiatus. The life of a blogger is so complex and sometimes it is hard to keep up. To be honest, I haven't been going out a lot since the new semester started. But now since I'm all done I felt inspired to create. So I created this makeup look that could be worn either for the holiday season or just out for a not on the town. It can also be worn as an everyday makeup look if your BOLD enough. ;) But if you would like to see how I created this "Have a Berry Christmas" makeup look, just keep on reading.

Mini Drugstore Haul!!!!!

Hey Beauties,

I've been having an urge to try some new makeup products. So the other night I took a late night trip to Walgreens to browse and shop. I wanted to try trending cosmetics to see if the hype was real....lls. As much as I love fashion, this year I have really indulged more in beauty and makeup. I love all aspects of being a woman, getting dressed up and definitely BEATING MY FOR THE GODS!!!! Here's the items that purchased and I also created a look using most of these products. Enjoy!!!!

1. Milani Gel Eyeshadows $3.99 each

(There's 30 eyeshadows, I only purchased 5. Purple and blue are my favorite colors so I had to get these first. I will be going back to purchase more)

2. Black Radiance Pressed Powder- Mocha $4.99

(Love these pressed powders; I was using the shade Chocolate but it was kind of to light for me. This is the next shade darker and it's a flawless match)

3. Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation- 95 Coconut $10.99 sale $6.59

(This is the darkest shade, I feel it might be a little too light for me. It did give me light-medium coverage and also felt lightweight on my skin. This foundation has a loose consistency but sets matte into the skin)

Is The Hype Real??? Milani Gel Eyeshadows

Yes the hype is real. These eyeshadows are soooo pigmented, I love them. I tried these shadows dry like I said crazy pigmentation; when wet HUNNI they are everything!!!
