Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

You all know that I love a good quality lipstick, but what I love more is when you find it in brands that you would have never even thought of trying. I have a very diverse makeup collection, but there are some brands that I walk past in the cosmetic section without even given a second thought, but after trying out the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipsticks that habit is about to change! The Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipsticks come in 38 yummy shades and they sent over four shades perfect for spring and summer for me to…

Sleek Makeup LIP VIP Lipstick Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

Sleek Makeup LIP VIP Lipstick Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

A couple of weeks ago I received a delicious package from Sleek Makeup featuring five shades of their LIP VIP lipsticks.There’s six lipstick in all.  The lipsticks are a full coverage semi-matte formula that glides on smooth. Since these are semi-matte lipsticks I would suggest exfoliating your lips before wearing. The shades range from a natural pinky nude to a true red. I was able to get a normal amount of wear of the lipsticks, nothing that was super impressive but it did last through eating, at least, one meal before having to touch up.  Some of the shades appear muted…

I hadn’t realized that all the unnecessary things in my house…

Nars Hot Sands Collection Helps Me Create that Winning at Life Glow.

I’m absolutely infatuated with “glowing”. Not strobing, but glowing. When a woman is glowing it means that something in her life is going exactly as she planned. She maybe received a compliment on her weight loss, something she’s been keeping to herself, or she’s living her best life despite the odds. This past year and well into this year I’ve been living my best life. Not everything is going as I want it to, but that’s normal. In spite of it all I’m living my best life and I want how I feel to radiate all around. So this is…

Essence Beauty Box keeps My Needs in Mind.

Essence Beauty Box keeps My Needs in Mind.

The other day I received a pleasant surprise in the mail in the form of  the EssenceBeauty box. Now if you’re an avid reader of Being Melody then you know how I feel about Beauty Box’s or subscription boxes period. They can be hit or miss. Either you’re gonna get stuff you really love or you’re going to get a box full of unwanted samples. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Essence Beauty Box but I was optimistic since it is a box curated specifically for Women of Color. At least, with this, box the good news is…
