Burst of Sun


Hey Ladies and Gents,

I had the best day off yesterday...really the best day ever, unless today tops it. While running errands with my husband, I was invited to a natural hair care seminar by my new buddy Mrs. Lowden. I was super excited to meet fellow naturals living in my area, plus I don't get out much these days. I was so shocked to see so many afros, locs and short cuts since you never spot one naturalista (not a real word..he he) walking down the street. 

Plus, my 3 day old twist-out received so much love and  I also found a new salon to visit. I won a necklace during the raffle giveaway too! Hip hip Hooray!! Big SCORE!! 

Now let me showcase the outfit I wore to this ultra fun event. 

BTW, I'll do a separate post on the event with the pictures I was able to take.

Laughing too hard

Hmmmmm..before I forget all the ladies looking for a perfect red lipstick, I suggest running to the nearest Walmart. No don't walk or crawl! Get those legs working and head to the Revlon section for the perfect matte red lipstick "Really Red"! ha ha ha (You can drive too..lol)  If you didn't know, I have a little obsession with this brand now. 

4 lipsticks + 5 eye shadows (1 pearl, 1 satin and 3 mattes) + 1 creme shadow palette= Growing stock in the company! Lol :) 

Burst of Sun

Top: Va Va Violet (creme), Nude Attitude, Stormy Pink and Really Red(all matte)
Middle: (top) Brushed Copper (pearl), Rivera Blue (matte-dark blue), (bottom) Peacock Lustre (satin), Aubergine (matte) and (top) Venetian Blue (Matte) 
Right: Electric Pop (creme) 
The top eye shadow is a really close dupe for Electric Eel(MAC), but leans closer to blue. 


Blouse: Thrift
Skirt(belt included): Zara via Mom 
Shoes: Target
Clutch: Vintage (G-mom)
Earrings: H&M
Lipstick: Really Red (Revlon-Matte)

*love, learn & live*

You are a ray of sunshine, aren't you? A natural one at that.

That outfit is fantastic - I am in love with the color combo. I would never think of it but it totally works and seems to suit you well.

Ooh, I can't wait to see you rock those shadows, especially since I am shadow application deficient!

An outfit after my own heart. Yellow and red lips. You look stunningly sunny. I love it. I love your hair, too. I think it fits your perfectly. I'm glad you could find some like minded individuals.

I love your bright citrus bursts - the skirt grounds the look quite well.

I might be tempted to try out the red lipstick, but you wont ever catch me buying it in a walmart!

Chic on the Cheap
