Nostalgia for 1

Let me start off by saying the Spice Girls were gahdamn amazing.  I'm fareal. They were and if you don't believe me just check out Holler from 2009 when Geri was feeling herself and left the group.  They were still killing it.  And if you still don't believe me check them out at the 2012 Olympic Closing ceremony.  Pretty sure I passed out halfway through it.  I just had to let y'all know that.  Like Lil' Kim emerging from the BET stage like an ebony phoenix, the Spice Girls were able to revive that part of me as a young person that thought anything was possible.  I remember being 8 and wanting to be 16, and then being 16 and wanting to be 18, and then being 18 and wanting to be 21.  Now me and my liver just wanna go back to being 8 years old.  I don't even know what put me on the kick to revisit the awkward years when my teeth were too big for my mouth, but I surely miss those days.  Those were the easy days, the salad days (if you get the Coen reference you are awesome sauce!).  The best days were that TV rolling into the classroom meant 30 minutes of goof off, snow days meant no school, and a prize at the bottom of the cereal box was life changing.  Now the best part of the day will be the very end of it when I get to leave, go drink, and play with my dog.  Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll play N*SYNC in the bar.

I'm looking very unassuming in D for Danger by MAC.  Topped off with my 35S-35 Color Smoky Palette by Morphe.  Got some light blue and dark gray going, cause I can.

 Don't I look ethereal y'all? You can too if you wear white against a white background! Send your favorite snaps to blackgurlzboldlips@gmail.com

  

Pink-achu!

Be fresh y'all! It's almost Friday which for some of us means payday and for others another week of grilled cheese sandwiches.  I can almost feel the fall walking its fresh ass up underneath my door. Don't get me wrong I love the fall but that 60 degree weather it can keep.  I enjoy a balmy 70 degree weather day but we'll see how long the weather will hold out in DC.  In the meantime, hold on to the good weather we have now and the smiles!

I'm sporting a pinky nude today! Maybelline Pinkalicious lined with MAC Cork all glossed with Covergirl Queen Collection Colorlicious lip gloss in Starlet Sand.  On the eyes I pulled out a VERY old Sephora palette and have gold on the lids, blue in the outer corner, and coral in the inner corner

Pinksies!

Y'all I be so tired of working, jk but not really.  Today was a day, like one of those days where I really had to do work and I didn't even get all of it done, but that's mostly because my memory is basura.  The shining light today has really been my lipstick.  It's probably lowkey too bright for work but I'm wearing a black and white outfit so I feel like that's okay.  I know I've written this before but makeup really does change the way I feel about my day.  When it's on point I feel on point, and when it's trash....well that doesn't really happen as often.  As the summer is beginning to wind down I'm going to try and get all of my summer shades the play they deserve.  You should too!

Today I have on ColourPop Dare on the lid, in crease I have on Kiko Milano Eyeshadow #102, and in the outer corner I have on Kiko Milano # 134,  and on the lips I have on ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Mars

Hands Up Hands Up

I get kinda obsessed with new songs I hear, even when they're not new. Most recently is So Me Like It by Spice. But that's neither here nor there. It's Friday y'all and I'm super excited about it because it's the end of week and I get to pretend that Monday is a year away. It's been a pretty decent week and I'm glad that I've been at least able to blog this week. Gotta slide my hands up and give up some praise for that.

Road tripping today in ColourPop Flawless lippie and on the eyes Morphe Color Smoky Palette

No Earrings Today

Y'all should already know I am dying slowly because I am not wearing earrings.  It's totes my fault today cause I was trying to do more than my regular routine.  Thankfully I have on a bright lipstick to draw attention away from it.  Too bad I pulled my hair back today. I'm going to be better tomorrow let's hope.  Anyway rather than fall into a downward spiral or run across the street and buy a quick pair, I actually just let it ride.  Figured it would be as good as time to just not be picky about things and let it ride.  It actually felt ok.  I'm not about to do it every day so you can just forget that but it was a great break from the usual. 

On the eyes I used my new Morphe palette 35S-35 Color Smoky palette and Password from Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette.  On the pucker I have on Maybelline ColorSensational Matte in Craving Coral

DisTew Much

It's the third week of August and I'm just now getting a chance to blog.  What. In. THEE. World? No but fa real.  Y'all don't even know.  First and the most important: I put myself on a no-buy for the month of August, which means no buying makeup for an entire month.  I'm on my 19th day going strong.  Please pray for me can't I might not make it.  Second, work is a real thing and I don't know how to cope with it.  Third, I love me some summer but I'm too excited for the fall.  I love me a good purple.  I'm trying to get back on the grind y'all so Brahma be with me.

Today I finally get a chance to show off ColourPop new Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Zipper
