Black History Month: Music

Long time no post. I just wanted to start off black history month with a newish artist who I really like. His name is Tinashé and he is from Zimbabwe, but grew up in London. I really like his song Zambezi which is a historical fiction piece about the colonial war between the British and the inhabitants of Rhodisia. This particular memory takes place at the Zambezi River (hence the title of the song).
I really love the mbira version a lot (some people refer to it as a thumb harp), but there is also the pop version too.



Enjoy!

I'll post some more makeup related things soon.

Lace Up Your Nails

Here is a quick update. I did this yesterday while doing data entry. I didn't get my makeup look because I was dealing with a crashed computer.



Here is the youtube link that I used for this look. I changed a few things.

Dropping back in for Halloween

Well I know that I haven't been on much (work has been keeping me busy), but since today is Halloween and I did dress up, I thought I would post.




Oh yeah, and here are some things that remind me of fall:

Humid Moonlight Jealousy

This is really nothing more than just updating to be active. I realized at the end of the night that I had already missed the opportunity to take good pictures (i.e, when the sun was out and when my hair was still nicely done). This look features: UD Grass, Humid, Jealousy Wakes, and Moonlight Path.

Sparkle Peridot

This combo is a coat of Chanel Peridot and OPI Simply Smashing. I don't own simply smashing, but I am definitely hunting for it now! If anyone knows where I can get this, or of a great dupe, let me know.

Murmur

This look incorporates my two favorite colors for my b-day. :)
Unfortunately I was running late so I didn't get many pictures of the look until AFTER the flowers started to wilt. :( Other than that, I forgot my black lipgloss at home, so I had to improvise with Lancome juicy tubes. The pictures with the black gloss were taken after I got back and everything had kind of melted.










Here is a picture of one of the turf dancers:

Yellow Plus Mellow

Sorry for being kind of MIA. Here is a recent look that I did.







The bright yellow nail polish was a custom mix of OPI's Megawhatt? and Need Sunglasses with top coats of ORLY fifty-four and the OPI-Sephora Gold glitter at the tips.
