<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Today's look was so fun and very interesting to just pull something out of the air while I film. I really hope you all enjoyed the video. I have had my Sleek MakeUP acid palette for quite some time now but had never used any of the neon colors so I decided to take a dive right in!! Purple is my favorite color and you know you can't go wrong with Sugarpill Cosmetics Poison Plum shadow. :)</span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>I had a request to do an earthy type look in honor of Earth Day so here's what I came up with. I didn't want to do just your regular neutral browns and a pop of color so I took earthy elements in color and painted with the colors of the wind. :) You'll see in comparison to the look I originally posted on Facebook, I decided to take out the detail that I painted on one part of my face. It was supposed to be reminiscent on the tree of life, but the more I looked at it, the more I hated it so I decided to leave it out.</b></span><br />

Though I haven't tried all of their products...I seem to be coming back to their lip products over and over again. I've tried the mini lip glosses, the lip flashes and now, finally their newest line of lipsticks.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">The <a href="http://www.milanicosmetics.com/p-153-color-statement-lipstick.aspx" target="_blank">Milani Color Statement</a> Lipsticks are very sleek in design. Their gold tube will make you feel fancy as soon as you pick it up. I've never had fancy lipstick tubes that you can place your own special color in, such as they had in the 40's and 50's, but this definitely makes me think that I do. Its high gold sheen is very eye catching. I mean, come on, who does like shiny things...Am I right? I also love, love, LOVE that they showcase the name and color of the lipstick on the bottom, AND that the color that they showcase is true to the actual color. That's a big deal to me. There are so many products on the market now that just use a colored plastic and call it a day but no, not Milani. You can actually see the sparkles in the lipsticks that have shimmer and shine such as in #27 Dulce Caramelo or #03 Orangina (not showcased in this review). They have a wonderful array of different colors ranging from the very bright colors of #01 Sweet Nectar and #14 Rose Hip to the neutrals of #27 Dulce Caramelo and #11 Fruit Punch. I honestly can't rave enough about the ones I've tried so far. Here is a little more insight about the ones that I have:</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">#27 Dulce Caramelo- This is a frosty nude color with little flecks of gold in it. Its not exactly my favorite out of the colors that I have, but I feel it would be a good highlight color in the center of the lip. It does have a slight bit of 80's flair, but a little more modern. Its not exactly the bright frosty pink lipstick I wore as a kid playing dress up, but still gives me that feel of the past. This color doesn't look as wonderful on me as it would those of you with warmer, caramel skin tones. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">#11 Fruit Punch- This neutral pink is probably one of my favorites for a day time look. It's kind of that sweet bubblegum pink lipstick that we see a lot of people wearing now. Its smell is similar of that and a fruity, punchier scent. This color would look great on everyone. A sheer wash this color will just slightly change your lip color, but swipe it more than once and you've got a pretty pink for any time of year.</span></b></div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>#12 Flamingo Pose- This name describes the color spot on. Its a pink, its a coral, its a pinky coral. I really like this one to wear now while we're still in spring, but will also be great for the summer as well. If you're not someone that likes to wear really bright pinks such as #14 Rose Hip, or really bright orange like #01 Sweet Nectar, this color is for you. This color is if Rose Hip and Sweet Nectar had a baby and named it Flamingo Pose. Very creamy and rich in texture this glides on so smooth. Do a light wash and it'll remind you of the actual color of a flamingo, but amp it up and its like that flamingo just put on a pair of sunglasses and is struttin' his stuff on the dance floor. Who's ready to boogie?!?</b></span><br />

However, this definitely looks like a color you'd see Nicki Minaj wear. This color definitely requires some cajones to wear. But if you've got 'em, wear it baby wear it!! You will get noticed if you wear this color!</span></b> </div>

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">#01 Sweet Nectar-Orange lipstick. Enough said, haha! No but seriously, orange lipsticks seem to be the coming trend. And not just any old orange, BRIGHT orange. I was a little nervous when I purchased this lipstick because #1 it's bright as hell, and #2 I've never worn an orange lipstick before. I think the right person could pull this off and from what I'm hearing on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Confessions-of-a-Beauty-Blogger/217408421629211?ref=hl" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a></span></b> <b><span style="color: #45818e;">you all seemed to like it on me. I like it ok, but I know for me to go that bold it will take some getting used to. This is a pretty tangerine color that is on the matte side, but doesn't dry your lips out. In fact, all of these lipsticks are pretty hydrating, which is always a plus!</span></b><br />

I have been on the hunt for a berry lip color that I like and feel I can pull off because they tend to be too dark for me, but this one is great. This color makes me want to go have a glass of wine, and I don't even like wine!! Good going Milani!! You could wear this any time but I see this more as a fall or winter color.

Its creamy and glides on like a dream. This color is very very similar to Maybelline's Lip Liner in Toast. I love ya toast, but this lip liner has taken your place. </b></span> <br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Milani has great affordable prices for all of their cosmetics that are out there right now. From what I've tried so far, I have been very pleased. I did notice that there are some colors online that I have not seen in my local store such as #34 Violet Volt and #36 D'Oro. Those are some awesome funky colors that I really want to try. They have something out there for everyone so give them a try. Most of the time you can find their stuff on sale in your local Walgreens or CVS so keep a look out for that every now and then. I now leave you with a hand swatch of all the colors.....Until next time babes......TTFN!</span></b><br />

<strong><span style="color: #45818e;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e;">I have not been posting on here lately and that I do apologize. But to be honest, I don't know if its the content of my posts, or the fact that I don't do too much to promote this page, but I'm not getting many views. I have been trying to work on promoting my YouTube Channel,Facebook Page, and Instagram as of late and then it brought me back to this blog...</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e;">I have mixed feeling about this blog. I'm pretty sure the only one who reads it is my niece. Every time I see her she always says, "You haven't posted on your blog in awhile, what's going on?" That makes me feel good knowing that even if she's the only one reading this on the regular, that maybe I should continue to post here. Sometimes I feel like she's my #1 fan. :) She's an awesome kid and I am so glad that I finally got to know her just a couple years ago. Maybe I can do a video with her sometime. I think she'd like that. She talks a lot so I'm sure we won't have to worry about it being a dull video, unless she gets shy being on camera haha....</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e;">Anyway, I just wanted to post this real quick to know that I haven't forgotten about this blog. I am going to try and make some changes with this and figure out a way to incorporate it more with my YouTube Channel, Facebook, etc. If you are someone who regularly blogs and has some pointers for me, leave it in the comments below. Any help is very much appreciated!!!</span></strong>popovcolourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03382943369876155975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182235403750518241.post-72850299540880689042012-12-05T18:15:00.001-08:002012-12-05T18:15:52.282-08:00Glitzy Glam Fall/Autumn Look<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Hello Lovies!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I have been trying for weeks to film my tutorial on this look. It just wasn't in the cards for me until now. No matter how hard I tried to make time to do it, something always came up that I absolutely couldn't put off, and, unfortunately my channel,blog, and facebook page got put to the weigh side. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">This look can be done simply which is nice for day wear, but you know me, and I have taken out all the stops for the hum drum simple day look. This has pizazz!! Glitz! Glamour!!! It's absolutely beautiful!!!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Though this is a very fancy look, I used a combination of some higher end products and drugstore. All of these are pretty affordable even the high end stuff, which is what I like to do in almost all of my videos. Sugarpill Cosmetics was definitely at the forefront of this look. I adore Sugarpill. If you haven't tried their makeup, I urge you, no, I COMMAND you go and check them out. Their shadows are very affordable for what you get compared to a lot of higher end brands. If you like shadows with a HUGE color payoff and just love bright colors in general, this brand is for you dearies!! </span></b><br />

For those of you that follow me on a regular basis know that I have been posting more on my Facebook page this week. This year has been a rough one for me. I remember at the beginning of the year I was going to make this one the best year yet and wanted to stay positive from day one. I had just made the plunge into becoming a vegetarian to gain better overall health and hope to lose weight while I'm at it. I decided to start working out, and being the happiest I could ever be in all my life. Things were going so well...then...I felt like I got stabbed in the heart. I lost my grandfather on St. Patty's Day. He had been going to dialysis because his kidneys were shutting down, so I knew I probably wasn't going to see him after this year if he even made it to the end of the year. It hit me a lot harder than I thought it would, but I have grown to learn over these few months and accept that he was ready. He lived a long life and had a lot of children and grandchildren, and even a few great grandchildren. His loss kind of pushed me forward in the right direction to continue my self improving and be happy and do things that make me happy. I also was going through some tough stuff with my husband, which I'm not really ready to talk about, but we have grown from it and have built a stronger relationship over it. It just goes to show you that we're given these obstacles to over come so we can become stronger people, learn from the mistakes we make and build ourselves better...so to speak. So this is why I've decided to take a back seat on blogging, updating videos on my YouTube channel and just really talking to anybody. I've even cut a lot of drama filled friends out of my life because I've learned my time can be well better spent on something productive...like updating my blog, then to trash talk people. Do I miss those people? Yes, but I feel like I'm becoming a better person and growing and have to do this for me...I know they wouldn't understand, but the drama and bullsh*t just gets old. I'm not in high school anymore and care about more important things and just feel I can't go on with being around people like that. Its nothing against them, I just can't mentally deal with it. Does that make me a bad person? </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;">Anywho! I wanted you all to know that I am still here! I think about this blog all the time, and I have always felt some sort of release with writing...so on that note, I'm making a pledge to keep going. I will be making a slow transition back into this. I want to keep positive just as I had told myself I would at the beginning of the year. I want to inspire someone...whether it be through words, the art of makeup, or just a pretty picture I find interesting. Tell me what you want to see!!! I have a bunch of ideas running through my head, but I also want to deliver to the people the matter most...my followers!!! Comment on this post, send me a message on Facebook or YouTube...I want to hear from you!!! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;">Thank you all for being patient with me, the ones who I've heard from. You pushing me to keep going has done more than you'll ever know. Stay tuned because it's FALL and great things are in the works for you!!!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #76a5af;">Much love,</span></strong><br />

I know I have been gone for quite sometime, not posting here or on my YouTube Channel, but I have been going through a lot of personal happenings and have decided to take a break from blogging and YouTube for a little bit. I will slowly be getting back into this, but it is going to be a little while longer I think. To all of my viewers of my YouTube Channel, followers of this blog, and fans on my Facebook page I appreciate every one of you who have taken the time to check out what I do. But that's not what the reason of this post is today....</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">In the US a person dies of suicide every 14.2 minutes. Suicide claims more than 36,000 lives a year. Attempted suicide happens every minute, of every day, with close to a million attempts each year. It is the 10th leading cause of death and is the 3rd leading cause of death of people ages 15-24 years. The education and advocacy of suicide and depression lacks in awareness, and there is something we call can do to help.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;"> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">I recently teamed up with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention in my area. They sponsor Out of the Darkness walks across the country. They are a non-profit organization who take the proceeds from the walks and use it for understanding and preventing suicide through extensive research, education and advocacy. They are the nations leading non profit organization for suicide prevention. I have decided to participate in the walk, as well as some other behind the scenes coordination with the Chairperson in my area. My goal is to raise $1,000 before the walk. </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">I haven't lost a loved one to suicide, but I know many who have. I've seen the turmoil that families are left with after losing a loved one to suicide. So many unanswered questions, the hurt, the anger, the sadness. I've lost many loved ones, but will never know the feeling of emptiness that someone left behind feels when they lose someone to suicide. I myself thought of, and even attempted suicide when I was younger. I was very depressed and unhappy, but I am lucky to have the people around me today who make me happy and I no longer feel the way I once did. But sadly, there are so many who still battle with depression, mental disorders, who take their life each year.....and because of them I have decided to participate in the walk in my town.</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Please take the time out to visit the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention's website, at www.afsp.org to find out more information, and see if there is a sponsored walk in your area. Also, below is a link to my donation page. I know times are tough right now for everyone, myself included, but if anyone reading this is able to make a donation to my page, even if it is only $1.00, you will make my heart smile. If you aren't able to, that's okay too. But please check out the website and see if you can sponsor a walk in your area, or find another way to help. Life is too short not to take time to help others. Whether it be through donation to this cause, or any cause for that matter. Helping someone in need is so rewarding.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Thank you for anyone who is able to help, and thank YOU, yes YOU, for taking the time to read this blog post....</span></b></span><br />

Last night when I went to do the tutorial as I went along for the first time, I used a regular sponge like you would to do dishes with like was recommended in the article that I found on Facebook. I didn't like the way the effect was looking so I tried again today and this is the result.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Below is a step by step instructional on how I achieved this look and some pointers that I learned by doing this look and how it will help me out the next time I try to achieve this look.</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Step 1: Apply a base coat of your choice. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>This will help with keeping your color last longer on your nails and give the polish something to stick to instead of laying on a smooth nail.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Step 2: Apply a nail polish color all over the nail. Allow to dry completely.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>My polish color I used was Aquadelic by China Glaze. I have absolutely loved wearing this color. Its a great spring or summer color, but can also be used differently all year.</b></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Step 3: Take a cosmetic sponge and cut to fit the length and width of your nail.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>You can use any sponge you want, but this seemed to work better than a kitchen sponge for me.</b></span><br />

In life, we always root for the underdog. And when I say we, I mean, me. I can't really speak for everyone but you know. I always want to see small businesses succeed, especially in this time of economic hardships. Gigantic corporations are slowly causing small businesses to close because they just can't compete with these corporations. Its depressing, but it makes me uber happy when I find a small little company that makes such great products and offer a GREAT price for their products.</div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
I first heard of Dark Heart Designs when the owner, Tina Z. liked my Facebook page for this blog. It made my day just to see someone who wasn't a friend or family member liking my page that I just had to check out her page. When you're just starting out with a blog, YouTube Channel, or Facebook page for your business or hobby it can be a little discouraging when you don't see many people other than your friends liking your page or subscribing. I've had my YouTube Channel for a little while but never did a bunch of videos to get my name out there until recently. I'm no Kandee Johnson, nor will I probably ever be, but I have fun with what I do, and even if I only have 3 people watch one of my videos it makes happy, because this is what I like to do. Anyway! Wow what a way to get off subject eh? </div>
<div style="color: #45818e;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #45818e;">So I checked out Dark Heart Designs page and was so in awe of what amazing products I had just found with this company. I spent a good 30 to 45 minutes just looking at every single color. I wanted them all but settled on just trying one eye shadow product until I knew how well the quality of the product was. The color I settled on (like I said I wanted them all) was Clean Slate. Described as a </span><br style="color: #45818e;" /><span style="color: #45818e;">"dark silvery blue tinted shadow", this color would look great on all skin tones. The shimmer in the shadow is similar to a diamond glitter. I absolutely love it. The texture is so smooth and soft and its 100% cruelty free and vegan! I spent a total of $8.50 with the shipping and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. When my package came in the mail I was as giddy as a school girl. It was really nice to see that someone even took the time out to customize the padded envelope with stamps and a cool wax seal. When I saw that I just knew the product was going to be amazing before I had even opened the package. Inside was a small drawstring bag that held the eye shadow and other goodies.</span><br />

Inside the bag was my eye shadow, but also some other goodies! I got 4 free samples of some other eye shadows!! I was given Ultra Violet, a bright blue shimmery shadow. Cotton Candy, a baby shimmery pink shadow. Pumpkin King, a beautiful pigmented orange-y gold shadow. Last but not least, Howl, a canary yellow shimmery shadow. I was in love!!! The samples that were given were quite a good bit of product, which was very nice in comparison to other samples I have gotten from other companies. I also received a 20% coupon on my next purchase. </div>

My Skincare Routine! A Beauty Blogger Exclusive!<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>We've finally made it to Wednesday! Happy Hump Day! Spring is in full swing and you know what that means. Summer is just around the corner. I don't know about you, but when summer hits, my skin likes to freak out on me. When the heat and humidity sweeps over my town my skin, and my face especially goes into shock. Which means my skin gets even more oily than it already does, which causes more breakouts. Who likes breakout? Not me! I'm pretty sure you don't either! So at the beginning of the year I decided once and for all I was going to kick my pores into high gear and find the right products that work for my face to help with breakouts, being preventive and make my skin look healthy. So to do that would require to do some research. </b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Like most Americans, I don't have health insurance, and I can't afford to spend a lot of money at a dermatologist. So, I have to do what I can to use over the counter treatments. I first did some research through YouTube. I tried to find videos where people talked about what they did to get clearer skin. I heard about the Clarisonic and similar systems. They looked great! I want to try it one day, but at this point I have not. I'm sure that would be a big help with keeping your skin looking fresh and clean. But I took it a step farther. I tried to see what I could find through blogs, websites, etc. I stumbled upon Web MD. I'm sure you've heard of their site, and probably have looked up information on their site before. I had never though about looking up treatments for acne and such on their website. As always there is a disclaimer on their website that states that their advice on their page should not be substituted for seeing an MD in person. I read about things I already knew about acne, what causes acne and that sort of thing. I won't bore you with what I found on that, if you're interested, check out their page along with many other informational websites. What I did find that was interesting is that they had a "Personal Skin Evaluator" that assesses your skin through a few simple questions and in less than 5 minutes they give you a skin care regimen that is perfect for your skin. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>At first I was very skeptical that this online "questionnaire" could actually help me. I thought it would be just like any stupid little questionnaire or quiz that people put on their web pages, but what I would later find out is astonishing. I took the little questionnaire, and within 5 minutes I had an answer. In the past I would use some off brand acne facial cream wash, usually Equate brand because that's what I could afford. It'd clean my face but it never really seemed to help with clearing blackheads, blemishes, or pimples. According to Web MD, I should have been using a foaming face wash all along. It told me I needed to stay away from those white creams. The light bulb went off in my head! I knew the cream wasn't helping but only thought it was because it was an off brand and maybe they didn't use as good of products in theirs. It also told me I needed to use an exfoliate after using the foaming face wash. Then after the exfoliate, I needed to use an astringent. Followed up by a moisturizer. </b></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Once I got this information I was still a little skeptical. I figured I'd go ahead and try it because I had nothing else to lose. If what they said didn't work it wasn't like it'd be a huge loss. I already would use an exfoliate every now and then so at least I was some what on the right path. I went to my local Wal-Mart and started looking at their products. I had always heard good things about Neutrogena and figured I'd give them a try. I found their Acne Stress Control line and tried their power foam wash. I figured stress was part of my acne problems and that maybe this could help. I then bought my usual Equate brand Refreshing Apricot Scrub, which, by the way, works just as good as the St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. I've tried both and they worked the same so why not spend less money and buy Equate? I then had heard about how Witch Hazel was a natural astringent so I thought it'd be less harmful on my skin so I bought a bottle of that. I had never bought a moisturizer before and had no idea which one would be good for me. To start off I just bought the Wal-Mart brand oil free moisturizer with SPF 15. I also from time to time will do a face mask. My favorite one is the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>In a nutshell, I started using these products and saw a dramatic change in my skin. I still get breakouts every now and then but these products do help me.

<b>Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend thus far. I meant to post this yesterday but time got the best of me. The peacock is a whimsical and beautiful bird. It's always given me a sense of royalty by looking at one. Their feathers pick up so many beautiful colors it is just breath taking. Contrary to what we all may think at first glance; the male peacock is the one that we almost always see with the vibrant colors, where the female peacock usually has greys, browns, and some green in its feathers.</b></div>

<b>If you have kept up with my YouTube Channel, you may have seen my intro to this review last week. I recently purchased the Physicians Formula Organic Wear JUMBO Lash Mascara. My cousin told me about this and I just had to try it! I purchased it at my local Wal-Mart for $6.97. I have also seen the mascara in other drug stores such as CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid. They were more expensive in these stores, but are available there none the less.</b></div>

<b>When I first purchased the mascara I was instantly drawn to the packaging. I thought it was very pretty, yet informative. I mean, who doesn't like shiny things? And green shiny things!? Not only was the packaging nice, it also gave TONS of great information. </b></div>

<b>This is the first organic mascara I have ever seen. I'm sure there are some high priced mascaras out there, but its nice to see a company that makes it affordable for the every day person who may buy almost, if not all of their makeup at the drug store. The mascara is 100% natural (duh! lol) and 100% free of harsh chemicals, synthetic preservatives, parabens, GMO's, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances and 100% cruelty free!! (Doing happy dance for not hurting animals!). The packaging does tell the truth! In the week that I have tried this mascara I have not had ANY clumping, smudging, or flaking. It also has this awesome 100% recyclable "Eco-Brush" made of recyclable plastics.</b></div>

<b>The only down side to the mascara is that it is not water proof. However, I haven't had any problems with it running. You'd have to produce tears or be splashed in the face with water or something similar for it to run. The good thing about it not being water proof and the fact that it is organic is when you are ready to take your makeup off for the night all you need is to take some water and it washes right off! No scrubbing and having to worry about damaging your eyes or pulling out eyelashes! </b></div>

<b>I took this picture above today to show you how it looks when it is on. It glides on smooth and surprisingly the rubber brush didn't bother me as some previous mascaras with a similar brush has. The color I got was "Ultra Black Organics". It is a "black black" color and looks great on my eyelashes! It makes my eyelashes look fuller and longer without having to worry about clumping. On a rating scale of 1-10 I'd give this mascara a 9.5. I've previously used other mascaras that I thought I liked a lot but it doesn't do the things the Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara does. This is my new favorite mascara and will continue to use this mascara for hopefully a long time. This is one beauty product I do not want to be a discontinued item!</b></div>
