Fierce Spotlight: Simone

With my almost daily visits to Sephora and mountains of beauty products taking a permanent residence under my bathroom sink it’s safe to say I’m a makeup fiend.  And you know what I'm ok with that.  Mostly because I know that I don’t stand alone in my obsession.  In fact I found a good ol’ college friend, Simone who understands my unhealthy fascination with makeup, quite well.  As I was browsing her FB pics  (oh don't act like you don't stalk fb profiles too)  I was amazed by her stunning makeup looks.  It was hard to deny her talents with makeup.  I knew right away that I had to share her creativity with the masses.   After a few email exchanges she agreed to allow me to spotlight her and answered a few quick questions about her favorite products and how she got started with makeup.

1. What are your favorite products that you can't live without?
 My favorite products that I can't live without would be MAC lipglass (but there are a few I adore like Viva Glam VI), Urban Decay eyeliner in Zero or Milani's blue eyes liner and Covergirl Lash Blast in black. 

2. How did you get started with makeup? 
I actually started playing with my mom's makeup basket when I was a kid. She had this blue eyeliner and bronze shadow that I completely coveted when she wasn't looking (lol). 


3. Have you considered making makeup a career choice?
I have considered it for a long time. 


4. What is your makeup advice to live by?
My advice would be to remember to exfoliate and moisturize. 

Many thanks Simone for allowing me to share a piece of you on I wanna be fierce.  

So guys tell me are you a makeup fiend?

Fierce Spotlight: KJ Rose

 

Upon witnessing a KJ Rose performance, I learned two things.  1. She is a hell of an artist and 2. This lady's got style.  Donned in sexy rompers, vibrant tops and statement dresses the "A Better Way" singer has been making big waves in the music industry. Her album "All Heart, No Regrets" has recently caught the attention of BET and Elle Magazine with many others following suit. If you'd like to see the stylish songtress live and  in  living color your in luck.  Rose will be performing September 15th in New York City at the  Royalton Hotel's concert series Forty Four.  If that's to long of a wait click inside to see Rose perform one of my favorite jams, the remake of "Baby I'm scared of you" and few of her wadrobe highlights.
