There are product photos over at <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/">Temptalia</a>... the only thing that appeals to me in the least are the shadesticks.. simply because I don't own any.<br /><br /><div>In other news, I have gone MAC crazy lol. I have spent entirely too much at the MAC counter in my local Macy's...ahhh well, its all for the good, right?! lol. Also, Spring is COMING! Yay! Which means I have been shopping my butt off......spending money that could go towards a bill...but again, its all for the good, right!? At least thats what I keep telling myself LOL. BUT I realize that there is a problem and I will be going on a makeup NO BUY! That's right!!!!! NO MAKEUP PURCHASES!!!! The verdict is out on how long I'll do this, but I definitely will need help and motivation! (((notice I didn't say all shopping...just makeup, as I realize I spend more on makeup than anything else)))<br /></div><br /><div>I'll try taking pictures of my latest hauls and I HAVE to review my new Studio Sculpt Foundation and Concealer...love this stuff! </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="color:#33ccff;">Edit!

((pic heavy))Happy Friday!!!<br /><br />Okay so I <strong>finally</strong> received my package from MAC which included my Dame Edna stuff...and I must say that I am extremely happy with the items that I ordered =)<br /><div><div><div><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291968971108327506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDZvb1NIFI/AAAAAAAAAFc/50P0ULfvWK4/s320/SDC11155.JPG" border="0" />I am still in love with the purple packaging! I ordered: The Wisterio trio, Gladiola l/s, & Hot Frost l/g.</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291970471401946802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDbGw3E_rI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Vf3ekp_az1w/s320/SDC11161.JPG" border="0" /><strong>SWATCHES!!! </strong></p><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291970751226920354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDbXDSjPaI/AAAAAAAAAFs/-mV34rFAM8M/s320/SDC11176.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291971413524097698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDb9migKqI/AAAAAAAAAF0/FyxpgvfcrtY/s320/SDC11198.JPG" border="0" /></strong> I can not WAIT to wear Gladiola(right) and Hot Frost(left)! When I ordered it, I honestly didn't think that it would fit my skin tone, but it does and I am ecstatic! I never wear bright lip color, so I'll do a FOTD with these reaalllyy soon!<br /><br /><p align="left"><strong>NEXT UP!!</strong> Walgreens had a crazy clearance sale going on and I snatched up quite a few things and of course I had to share em' with ya'll!!! (YES ''ya'll'' lol)</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291972772549912306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDdMtTgZvI/AAAAAAAAAF8/qWSPmoY1G84/s320/SDC11200.JPG" border="0" />I got: (2) Revlon lip palettes in Caramelt & RSV Pink, (3) Covergirl Trueshines in Coral Shine, Watermelon Shine, & Fire Shine, A Revlon shadow/liner duo in Set the Nude, Revlon blush in Hushed Blush (to be used as a highlight), Milani Sunset (bronzer/ blush) duo in Sunset Beach, & 3 sets of Wet N Wild lashes in Vivacious and Flirtatious (not pictured). </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291976758509940866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDg0uKbsII/AAAAAAAAAGE/c3hW7Ceg2rg/s320/SDC11226.JPG" border="0" />Top to bottom: Fire shine, Watermelon Shine, & Coral Shine. All of the CG Trueshines are pretty sheer but have buildable coverage. I'm trying to expand my lipstick collection and I'm very happy with these =)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291979191379027282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDjCVTn5VI/AAAAAAAAAGk/aCxW7j2TqvY/s320/SDC11260.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291977389662318786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDhZdY4sMI/AAAAAAAAAGM/cm-CCS8JLX0/s320/SDC11256.JPG" border="0" />This is the liner/shadow duo. The frosty beige color seems like it may be a good brow highlight. I'll have to try to liner, not sure how its "marble-ly goodness" will work on the lashline lol. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291978169050006386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDiG01ZA3I/AAAAAAAAAGU/TixpE_ySjrM/s320/SDC11239.JPG" border="0" />The Milani bronzer is good for this time of year. It seems like everyday I wake up a little paler than the day before so anything that adds a little bit of warmth definitely helps!<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291978700386528770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDilwN47gI/AAAAAAAAAGc/HlrEHZDUz80/s320/SDC11242.JPG" border="0" />The revlon blush is pretty light, definitely couldn't be used for anything other than a highlight (on me anyway), but I couldn't beat getting an $11 blush for $2!!! </p><p><strong>FINALLY!!!</strong> I got a few misc. items that I had been eyeing for a while and/or needed to replenish. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291979960661155874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SXDjvHGxoCI/AAAAAAAAAGs/_AGTDQDdklw/s320/SDC11276.JPG" border="0" />I had to get a new crystal nail file b/c I gave my Mommy the last one =) I also purchased Sally Hansen Diamond Shine base coat/top coat (Nail Post coming soon!!). I got one of the new Revlon Matte eyeshadows in Lushious Lime( i THINK thats the name...I could be wrong lol I'm @ work!!), Nivea creme for my purse, and FINALLY got the Loew Cornell brushes! They are supposedly dupes for the Mac shader brushes. I am very happy with them they are extremely soft and I can't wait to use them. Look for the purple handle!!! </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div>Here's a quick swatch of the Revlon e/s..

My video included my most recent mac haul...I didn't take pics and all that "jazz" b/c I plan on figuring out how to convert it! I.will.not.give.up<br /><br />Just to fill ya'll in....<br /><br />Everything has been going great lately...I have decided that Blogger is definitely the business! Without it I wouldn't have connected with my blog "fam" and I wouldn't have been able to meet Ms. Brandi, an UBER talented MUA in my area (Which is very hard to find) As most of you know, I live in Detroit....the fashion/makeup industry is little to none here, so finding a mentor to actually teach you the ropes is highly unlikely.

I am soooo excited and I'll be sure to take plenty of pics and keep you all filled in.<br /><br />For whatever reason, I've been doing lots of makeup (on myself and a couple others) but have been slacking on my picture taking!!! So all I have to leave you with is a picture of me on NYE.<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288386267944873426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 227px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 305px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SWQfSqfobdI/AAAAAAAAAEM/SpMEUxukAIo/s320/nye.jpg" border="0" />I didn't do anything to dramatic because my outfit didn't scream Happy New Year. So I rocked a pale gold(finally got some use outta one of my NYX loose pearl mania shadows!) and a slightly smoke out gray e/s...my left eyebrow looks really odd now that I look at this, but on 12/31/08...I was happy with it LOL </p><p>I'm sorry it took me sooo long to update this, I feel so bad and I've missed blogging so much! But...I guess that's what happens when you STILL don't have internet @ your apartment! Hopefully I'll get the hang of this video thing really soon!!! My next post will definitely be more interesting ladies! Sry! </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-83883536787750850652009-01-02T08:40:00.000-08:002009-01-06T09:02:34.038-08:00My one & only....New Years Resolution:<br /><br />**I resolve to update my blog on the REGULAR!<br /><br />New post coming tomorrow.<br /><br />Happy New Year Lovlies =.)<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff6666;">edit: Okay sooo.

My life is finally SOMEWHAT back to normal.... And I have a couple of pics to share with my lovely ladies! I recently did makeup for my besties little sister and her cousin for their Homecoming...<br /><div><div><br /><div>Both girls wanted something really simple for Homecoming...they decided they'd go all out for prom. I did brows for both girls and used to same eye shadows for both girls(excluding the brow highlight) Off the top of my head I *think* I used Mac espresso in the crease, NYX Golden (which is really more of a bronzey color, and NYX Highlight which is a beige highlight color..hence the name ((duh)) lol; I also used a color similar to Mac's Satin Taupe but I am not sure of the brand or the exact name! I know, I know... I should have written all of this down or took a pic...I'm slackin! </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264212478712031474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SQ49W7_PKPI/AAAAAAAAAC4/-EU3-ldLUS0/s320/new+pics+033.jpg" border="0" />Excuse her kool-aid grin...I couldn't get her to "smile with her eyes" for the life of me. At least I know she was happy with her makeup Lol....She had Mac Star Nova Lustreglass on her lips.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264210235134898642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SQ47UWAw8dI/AAAAAAAAACw/C5bS8TovtdI/s320/new+pics+035.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><p>I was really happy with this look...I used the same shadows, but she didn't want any liner on the top. So I used a ton of mascara and lined her lower lashline with the royal blue shadow from the Covergirl Tropical Fusion Quad. She LOVED her makeup and wore Mac Nymphette Lipglass.</p><p>And just CUZ here's a recent EOTD I wore....Dunno why I didn't take any full face shots! </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264215013668852338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SQ4_qfcCknI/AAAAAAAAADA/hOs1NGjmKyk/s320/4+blog+042+ViewSonic+Pocket+PC+V35.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>I'm so happy to be back and blogging, and hopefully before Christmas I'll make some changes around here!!!!! </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-271628542799876972008-10-16T09:22:00.000-07:002008-10-16T09:24:18.166-07:00I'll Be Back!Hey Ladies,<br /><br />I have plenty to post, but life has been...crazy to say the least!

Perfect opportunity to practice my makeup skills, right?! </div><div><br /><div>Here at home, I am not able to practice as often as I would like...I can do my makeup whenever I feel like it...but the real test is being able to work with different skin tones, skin textures, brows, etc. So I applied m/u to my older cousin, and my younger cousin. Keep in mind, that I am not saying that I did the best job.....this was just for practice. For one! I haven't worked with darker skin before..everyone I've worked with always seems to be my complexion..Yeah I know, sad but TRUE! So here we go......I'll start with the worst first (lol) CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WELCOME </div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242544024901631586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFCA7ObvmI/AAAAAAAAABw/edQp27Zfl1Q/s320/Picture+027.jpg" border="0" /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242544207600771794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFCLj1TYtI/AAAAAAAAAB4/IMYVi4Hagfk/s320/Picture+028.jpg" border="0" /> This is my older cousin, Val. All I really did with her was her brows, shadow, and lips. She had her own foundation and concealer. After seeing the pics, I see areas that could have been blended a little better...Also, I think that her brow highlight is a little too light for her skin tone. I am using my own PERSONAL collection, so many of the shadows fit my complexion. I don't think that it's a horrible job, but it could have been better!<br /><br /><div>Next up is my lil' cuzzo Bri :)<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242545862442754930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFDr4mYI3I/AAAAAAAAACA/URtog3eyZnw/s320/Picture+015.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242546005343932626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFD0M8rENI/AAAAAAAAACI/3jCX_Txf-qs/s320/Picture+020.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242546338090327282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFEHkhmHPI/AAAAAAAAACY/Zv-CIkQDiX0/s320/Picture+024.jpg" border="0" />I thought her makeup came out pretty good. She didn't need any foundation OR concealer so all I used was a little pressed powder to even her out. She didn't want anything dramatic, just something natural with a bit of a "kick". And YES those are her lashes...lol :::jealous!:::: I didn't even have to curl them!<br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>As I said, I'd love for my fellow beauty bloggers to give me some tips and tricks! I have a friend that is an up and coming fashion designer, and was asked to do makeup for her show...so I'm trying to get my stuff together in the next couple of months!<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I'll be asking for product reccomendations among a million other things, so be prepared ladies! Also, I'm trying to keep up with my post and soon I'll have everything on a fixed schedule. I know its so much easier to keep up when you know when to expect a new post. Between classes, work, and my boyfriend...I'm pulling my hair out! </div><div><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242548947611832914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="303" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SMFGfdwAUlI/AAAAAAAAACg/zn0ohW9C9Yw/s320/2.jpg" width="305" border="0" />But hey....Life is good right now.

I have big news :) (big to me). I have been chosen as the Volunteer Coordinator for Detroit Fashion Week.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239200613706846674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SLVhMx8BUdI/AAAAAAAAABY/Xwy4R0iS9u8/s320/tia_dushee_webmainpic.jpg" border="0" /><br />I was able to land the position by emailing the leading staff of the production and luckily, this job became available! Initially, I was only interested in being a volunteer....I wanted a piece of the action, and I wanted to share my experience with you all!! I can't express how ecstatic I am! This is a great way to get my foot in the door! I'll be able to mix and mingle with local designers from Detroit, some from Chicago, and a couple from NYC. >>>LUCKY<<<><br /><br />I realize that Detroit never crosses your mind when you think 'Fashion'. In fact, most think that they will be <strong>a</strong>.) shot dead upon crossing city limits, <strong>b</strong>.) robbed upon crossing city limits, or <strong>c</strong>.) BOTH (<strong>none</strong> of which is true). BUT one thing I can say is that my people are most definitely fashionable....<strong><em>swaggerific</em></strong> to say the least. lol. You've probably heard of the city referred to as the Gator Capital, but we have so much more to offer....we have some great shopping districts, malls, and boutiques. People sleep on 'The D', but all we can do is show...talk is cheap!!!!<br /><br /><br />_duece, deuce ladies!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-62694573382300913392008-08-20T06:54:00.000-07:002008-08-20T07:02:17.450-07:00NOTDHere is my current NOTD, Orly Charged Up <p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture007.jpg" border="0" />Excuse my *shorter than normal* nubs...I broke about 3 nails, so I had to cut them all! =( I don't like long nails, but these are a lil too short for my liking. But HEY...they will grow back! </p><div>And here's my new phone.....the Samsung Instinct from Sprint....comparable to the i-phone. My boyfriend has the i-phone and I actually like my phone a little better, but this may be because he has the first model, and not the newer one. They have a lot of the same features and applications. I was quite happy when Sprint introduced a touch screen phone...that way I didn't have to end my contract 1 1/2 year early! hehe.......</div><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 269px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="285" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture005.jpg" border="0" /> <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 231px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="177" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture010.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Okay I am *officially* done posting for today!

But I have plenty of pics from my latest hauls to share with you lovely ladies =) It's not much but I scored some pretty great stuff....for little to nothing. Let's take a closer look! </p><div><div><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture004.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>I absolutely love the dress! I got it at H&M...surprisingly I wasn't sold just looking at it on the hanger, but when I tried it on I had to have it! H&M's clothing fits me really well...in their store I'm a PERFECT size 6. I am one that embraces my curves and believe me, this dress hugs every curve... yet still classy and elegant. It's not *super* dressy...I believe it can be dressed up or down. I plan on wearing it to a dinner cruise with my Mom and Dad paired with a black wide belt & black patent peep toe mary janes. I purchased the jeans from 4ever 21 and they also fit really well. I needed a new pair of dark denim jeans to wear with pumps, and these fit the bill perfectly. Who can't be happy about spending less than $50 on a quality dress and a nice pair of jeans?? </p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 324px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="389" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture006.jpg" border="0" />This lil' kit is so convinient! I'm constantly breaking, chipping, or slamming a nail in a file drawer at work so sometimes, I need a quick fix. It was only $1 at Meijer...can't beat it! (I had to add my own crystal nail file to the kit) </p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="155" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture008.jpg" border="0" />I really do not remember the name of this Revlon blush, and since I'm blogging from work I can't grab it (I'll edit later) But I DO know that it was only $2.25 on clearance and was orginally $10+. Can we say STEAL?! </p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 237px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="226" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture009.jpg" border="0" />I was also able to get this NYX trio on sale (50% off) at my local Rite Aid...In the end I think I only paid about $3 for it...give a few cents.<br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="141" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture012.jpg" border="0" />I also picked up Orly Charged Up...I think its a great transitional purple from Summer to Fall...I was surprised to see that it was released with a few of their neons because well.....It's not really a neon :-/ But still beautiful</p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 155px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="171" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture014.jpg" border="0" />And look at this beauty! OMG...look at the holographic glitter......I was speechless when I found this...I saw sooo many ladies rocking it over at the <a href="http://www.makeupalley.com/board/j.asp?bid=10">Nail Board</a> on Makeup Alley and loved it...so imagine my delight when I found this at my local Ulta. </div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture013.jpg" border="0" />Look at that! Just gorgeous! This is definitely not your average black polish. You can achieve bottle color with two coats, but I'm a three coater myself! </div><div> </div><div>That's about all I've purchased lately...I'm on a huge low buy after purchasing a new phone PLUS I have to buy books for the upcoming semester! OH! And I know I still haven't posted my minimal makeup look, but believe it or not I am JUST now getting that breakout I mentioned under control. I haven't been wearing anything but mascara and carmex, but now that it's nearly clear...I'll work on that post! Have a great day ladies!!!!</div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-60485680289915848922008-08-14T09:23:00.001-07:002008-08-14T09:24:55.971-07:00QUICK NOTDHey Ladies,<br /><div></div><div> </div><div>One more post for the day....Here's a quick NOTD. It's Covergirl Boundless Color in Candy Corn. It's a really pretty summer color...wish I would have taken more pics! </div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img.makeupalley.com/thumb.asp?sb=h&f=5_0_5_8_1030938.JPG&maxSize=140" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-37711799856923148022008-08-14T08:36:00.000-07:002008-08-14T09:21:25.872-07:00We Got to Do Better!I told yall that my posts would be all over the place...I just have so many things on my mind and I can't help but to share!<br /><br />But onto the hot mess that is Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.....if you're one that keeps up with current events and news I'm sure that you've heard of the infamous "Sex & Text Scandal" surrounding Detroit Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 345px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="252" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/32497830-1.jpg" border="0" />As a resident of the Metro Detroit area, you can not turn on the television without being bombarded by the latest, breaking news in the Kilpatrick trial. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing about him. He either needs to a.) be put out of office or b.) be a man and step down. While he has brought many jobs, businesses, and major events to the city...he must realize that (allegedly) inviting strippers to the Mayor's mansion and lying under oath will overshadow anything positive that he has done for the city of Detroit. Let's not be naive and pretend that he hasn't been under the microscope since he was elected years ago. He wasn't "supposed" to get that position in the first place. We got to do better!<br /><div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234406026784435842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1jWVNCFfrLc/SKRYjFymboI/AAAAAAAAABI/4OWikgGmejI/s320/art_kwame.jpg" border="0" /></p><div>If you are unfamiliar with the case/scandal Click <a href="http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=7189273&version=3&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1">here</a> for a timeline leading up to the trial against the Mayor.</div><div></div><div> </div><div>pics courtesy of <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/14/detroit.mayor/index.html?iref=newssearch">CNN</a> and <a href="http://www.scurvoriginalz.com/">ScurvOriginalz</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">~**LuvLeE**~</div>Alyssiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13739429711117081770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519910436321345072.post-87893684403870743922008-08-13T13:50:00.000-07:002008-08-14T06:09:13.737-07:00Oh Em Gee (lol)Just a really quick post.....I just had to share.....how fly are these <a href="http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?productId=2974617&source=category&index=0&prodIndex=0&listSize=15&categoryId=3091985&codeName=NWANTONELA">shoes</a>!?!???!!!!! must.put.away.credit.card! lol.

Its so nice to have people who understand my obsession with all things beauty and fashion! I'm tired of getting the side eye everytime someone asks exactly how many times I polish my nails within a week...I mean so what! I get bored easily and with 100+ bottles of polish who has time to keep one color on for an entire week......yeah not so much! That's like....an eternity! Look at the nail polish over flow.......I need another storage method cuz this right here.....aint gettin it!<br /><div></div><div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 260px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 193px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="169" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture001.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><br /></div><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 260px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="157" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture002.jpg" border="0" /> To mark this historic day (((because you should mark it on your calendar: Alyssia is BACK!))) I bought my very first Essie nail polish thanks to my girl Brit over at <a href="http://dblacknessmac.blogspot.com/">Clumps of Mascara</a>. She's such a frickin enabler! Lol, i kid! But anyways i purchased Body Language which is a muted gray creme...hard to describe...almost reminds me of a mushroom....anyways check the swatch! It's very unique! Almost fugly...but for some reason I love it! Oh and I most def recommend that you get a few Essie polishes in your collection...they apply like butter! </p><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="163" alt="" src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f398/asmoore1250/Picture003.jpg" border="0" /><br />Ya'll have to excuse me...I know this isn't the greatest post!
