I never figured how you would get the courage( I guess) up to talk to a camera and walk around with people looking at you. I always wanted to do a vlog and now I have my first one!!! Last month I went to the Living No Lye Tour by Team Natural in New York and decided to vlog my experience.

It is going by way too fast!!

**A little disclaimer that I am speaking on the recent event that have been going on and I am not intentionally offending anyone, just speaking what has been on my mind and what I have been feeling.** The events of last week had me feeling so emotional and at a lost for words. It really got to me because I am a mother and those innocent children lost a loving parent. My heart went out to those families and I just cried seeing how it affected them, especially that 4 year old who watched her father die in the car. That really hit a nerve with me because that will haunt that child for the rest of their life. It made me feel so much fear for my son and fiance, especially for my son. I want him to be able to grow up in a world where he is not wrongfully punished for his skin color or be judged just because of that. I didn't want my son to be walking around fearing for his life. This made me think of Martin Luther King Jr and how he fought so hard for equality, peace and justice in a

You can see Part 1  HERE  and Part 2  HERE!  Let's get into the reviews! NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Cherry Skies It was so hard to get my hands on one of these. I was hearing so many good things about these liquid lipsticks and I know why everyone was raving about them. The pigmentation on these is amazing! They are not drying at all and have a pretty amazing wear time. They are so comfortable on the lips and a great alternative to some of the other high end lipsticks. I really love this. I have the one in the grey color but having trouble trying to pair it with a look. Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in Obsession It was almost impossible to find these as well. They were only available in Walgreens when they first launched and were sold out for a long time. I happened to find th
