Strings From My Heart: NOTE TO THE 21ST CENTURY CHURCH-GOER (WORKER): So this post here is a little departure from my usual relationship posts but it has to do with the most important relationship in my life- ...

Hey Rubys,

I seem to be on blogging fire this past week.*hides*

This post would be in two parts and I promise to put up my next list as soon as possible. I don't mean to undermine those in the other list but I cannot put everyone in one post.

ENJOY!

FIRST ON MY LIST IS...........................................................

MAKEUPBYPINKY:   

Owned by Amiela Razzaq. Amiela (pronounced Ah-mee-lah) is from Trinadad and Tobago, she is a wife and mother of two kids. If I didn't pick her, it would definitely have been Bastian, was a tough one but here we are.

In October with assistance from Buntricia Bastian she launched her own make-up line ‘Think Pinke Cosmetics’ which features brushes, concealers, lip liners, lipsticks, lip glosses and a wide range of bright and neon eye shadows.

For her work, I am obsessed with her eye shadow application! I say GAME ON POINT!!!!!. Her general makeup work is simply exquisite. no words! just pure love!

      

DANESSA MYRICKS:

DANESSA FOR I MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL: She was forced to start a new career due to corporate downsizing, she decided to take her hobby of experimenting with makeup and turn it into a career; great decision imust say.

With over 15 years experience in the industry and a reputation as an internationally renowned artist, she has published two books and over a dozen training DVDs.

With an eye for subtle makeup detail and an alluring countenance, Joyce Jacob started her career in 2009 and has since become one of the most sought-out makeup artistes in the Nigerian Fashion & Entertainment Industry.

I love the Simplicity of her works and I HAVE A preference FOR HER EDITORIAL LOOKS!

MORE TO COME IN THE NEXT POST.

Hey Rubys,

here are some beauty/makeup items I cannot do without.

1. MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL KAJAL:

MY FAVORITE KAJAL IN THE WORLD!!! IT IS SOO SOFT AND JUST SLIDES AND GLIDES ON MY LIDS. JUST RIGHT FOR THE PERFECT WINGS (WINGED EYELINER OF COURSE), I USE IT AS A SHADOW, TO LINE MY LIDS OR FOR A SMOKEY EYE.

YOU NEED THIS BABY IN YOUR BAG.

2. BROW PENCIL:

THESE DAYS, POWERFUL BROWS ARE A BIG DEAL! I DO NOT WORK HEAVY BROWS FOR MY EVERYDAY; I KEEP THOSE HD/3D BROWS TILL I HAVE TIME ON MY HANDS, LOL! WHETHER YOU LOVE TO FAKE THOSE BROWS OR KEEP THEM SUBTLE AND NATURAL; YOU STILL NEED A GOOD EYEBROW PENCIL. FOR THE COLORED GIRL YOU CAN GET DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN OR REGULAR BROWN TO MATCH OUR COLOURED SKINTONE.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEE DO AWAY WITH THOSE RED OR BURGUNDY BROW PENCILS, EXCEPT OFCOURSE YOU ARE WORKING A RUNWAY LOOK.

3. MAC MATCHMASTER FOUNDATION:

FOR A LONG TIME NOW, I ONLY USE MAC FOUNDATIONS! I FEEL THEY WORK PERFECTLY FOR ME. MY MATCHMASTER FOUNDATION IS AN ALL DAY, NO SHINE, LONG WEARING FOUNDATION, I USE SHADE 7/7.5. THIS FOUNDATION HAS SPF 15 (SUNSCREEN) AND A VERY NICE PUMP.

4.MY MAC LIPPIE:

LIPSTICK ADDICT! MAC LIPSTICK JUNKIE! FROM THE MATTES TO THE CREMESHEENS OR AMPLIFIED TO THEIR GLOSSES, I LOVE ‘EM ALL.

5. MAC MASCARA:

I USE THE OPULASH BLACK, ZOOM FAST BLACK OR THE EXTENDED PLAY LASH...hooked TO SAY THE LEAST!

6. THE REAL TECHNIQUES EXPERT FACE BRUSH:

THIS BRUSH IS VERY WELL NAMED. I THOUGHT I HAD SEEN THE BEST OF BRUSH MAGIC FROM THEIR(Real techniques) STIPPLING BRUSH, TILL I GOT THIS ONE. I USE IT FOR MY FOUNDATION APPLICATION, FOR POWDERING, I USE TO BLEND IN AFTER CONTOURING OR BLUSHING, LOL!

MULTI PURPOSE TO THE CORE!

HEY RUBYS,

I am so excited for this Christmas; it has been an amaaaaaaaazing year for me! I am sure it has been a wonderful year for you as well.

Anyhooo! we all know that Red is one of the colours of Christmas; to me it represents the blood of Jesus *grins*

Here are some of the red lippies I would be rocking and some suggestions of the hotties you should get!

1. MAC 'Viva Glam' Lipstick: M·A·C introduced this particular shade of the Viva Glam series in 1994; the first of the series, it is an intense brownish blue red. See here for more on this lippie.



2. VIVA GLAM RIHANNA 1 LIPSTICK: This is one of Rihanna’s two shades of VIVA GLAM Lipstick. If you love shine and not so crazy about matte lipsticks, this is your girl. It is an original frosty blue-red with a subtle shine and gold sparkle. Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM goes toward helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Limited-edition, soft velvety red packaging features RiRi's signature.
