Women's History Month Beauty Challenge


I teamed up with fellow blogster's B (Clumps of Mascara) and Gangstarr Girl to take the Women's History Month Challenge. This means I would have to recreate a make up look from a woman that I admire. I chose Lena Horne- I think she's gorgeous, my grandfather was in love with her and my grandmother looked like her.

Face:
-Prescriptives PhotoChrome creme powder in Warm Toffee
-Prescriptives Magic Illluminating Potion in Deep Translucent

Cheeks:
-Nars Orgasm blush

Eyes:
-MAC Goldmine eyeshadow
-MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder

Lips:
-MAC Lip Pencil in Dark Brick
-MAC Lip Glass in Russian Red (gently smeared)

You did a GREAT job!!!! How did you like the Prescriptives Makeup? I haven't heard you review it before so was curious to know how you liked it...

Have a good week!

@ Bonafide Latina: I JUST purchased it about a week ago. I wanted to test it out first before reviewing. I'll be reviewing it soon though, I really like it a lot.

Interesting content.

Just wanted to share some information that may help busy professionals caught up with work and who have less time to maintain their nails. You can try out gel nails which are now becoming a hot favorite as they are natural looking even without nail tips and the best way for nail enhancement. Also, if you are allergic to those strong smelling chemicals which you can experience with acrylic nails, then you should use gel nails as these are odorless.

However, when you are planning on gel nail application, make sure you approach a nail salon or a nail artist who is well versed with gel nails and is properly trained and mastered in gel applications. This will save you from problems that can arise with improper gel nail applications.
