Pinterest Challenge Day #4

It's Friday, guys!! As the lovely ladies of the Another Round podcast say, "We Did It!" and it couldn't have come any sooner, this week was so real.  As for this challenge, I think I really do need a tutorial in Pinterest cause it's much harder than it needs to be.  I'm hoping by the final day I will somehow get it and be a Pinterest master.  We get 2 days to recharge, reconnect, rebrunch, whatever it is you need to get your mind right for Monday, use it wisely!

I woke up late so I really did not have the time to really research my makeup to achieve this but I pulled Smashbox Full Exposure, ColourPop Eyeshadow in Game Face, and Too Faced Return of Sexy palette. For the lips I went with Marc Jacobs Lip Creme in Dashing and NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

Pinterest should pay me for the advertising I'm doing for them.  Are you taking the challenge?!

Pinterest Challenge Day #3

Running on fumes. Li'trally.  I really wish this week wasn't draggin its ass like it is but it's cool I'm already over it.  The challenge of this Pinterest challenge is 1) finding great looks (I'm convinced it's because Pinterest's algorithms sucks) and 2) actually putting the looks together so they are work appropriate.  I take encouragement in knowing that the weekend soon come and I can use all of the pinks, purples, shimmers, glitters, and vampy reds without worry.  I may suck at searching but I notice there aren't too many boards dedicated to makeup looks for black women in a cohesive way.  It may be time to create a Pinterest board for the blog so there are more looks out there for other women to use.  Happy Thursday and cheers to completing challenges.  

Pulled out Kat Von D Chrysalis palette to work the eyes.  Keeping it neutral with ColourPop Lippie Stix in Mosh Pit with MAC Lip Glass in Spite to top it off

Gabs is awesome using Morphe 35N Color Matte palette and Coastal Scents shadows Jewel Teal and Laguna Green. 

On the lips is Colourpop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Zipper

What will be the Pinterest look you pull off for Friday?

Pinterest Challenge #2

Day 2 y'all! So rather than struggle like I did yesterday, I decided to keep the 12Ps in mind and properly prepare, which is why I was able to promptly put my makeup on.  So far I've learned that Pinterest is actually a lot easier than I thought but still complicated AF.  It helps if you have some products in mind and then use that as an anchor to get yourself moving. Sidenote: I worked out 2 days in a row, so God is great and so is my #journeytoabs.  I'm looking forward to keeping the moment moving in my direction!!

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette on deck! In the Inner Corner is High; on the Lid is Armor; in the Crease is Radar; and in the Outer Corner is Dagger. On the lips I have on Too Faced Melted Liquefied Lipstick in Chihuahua topped with NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss in Maple Blondie lined with MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Cork

I need buddies on my challenge!

Pinterest Challenge #1

Y'all, I don't know how use Pinterest or is Pinterest like a verb, and you just Pinterest? Either way I'm not good at it and I've had an account for a year.  After being sent a look from Pinterest I decided to take on a week-long Pinterest challenge.  I've noticed that much like most beauty boards it's mostly whyte women with the perfect blending technique and glitter that looks like Jesus put it on there himself.  I want to invite all of you ladies to take up a the Pinterest challenge with me, so you can learn not to be intimidated by makeup and to dazzle the internet with your beauty. 

Starting off easy, I used colors from the Morphe Brushes 35O Color Nature Glow palette on the eyes.  For the lips I used MAC Matte lipstick in Lady Danger lined with MAC Lip Pencil in Chestnut

I plan on pulling this off and would love to have you ladies be a part.  Scour Pinterest for some looks you'd like to wear and send them to blackgurlzboldlips@gmail.com with photo and product info!

Vision Bored

You ever wake up some mornings and think "Is this what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?"  I do sometimes, and I have to wonder if it's because I'm not dreaming big enough.  You know how they say if your dreams make sense then you're not dreaming big enough, or something like that, do you guys think that's true?  It always seems just a little difficult to get myself off the ground because my dreams are huge and procrastination is delicious.  Creating small goals for myself has helped me a bit but I can always use the encouragement, even if it's to get to work on time (which I have yet to accomplish this week) or finally work out on a consistent basis.  Even when it comes to makeup, I feel like I'm in a color rut, and I need some new combos to brighten up the day.  Maybe recognizing it is a small step in making changes and getting a new perspective. 

ColourPop all over: Lid: Game Face; Crease: Drift; Outer Corner: Plaid. On the lips is ColourPop Ultra Satin Lipstick in Prim

What color combos are you looking forward to this Spring? Send it to blackgurlzboldlips@gmail.com!
