All rise!! It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice. This week we’ve got a case that was a lot of fun to tackle. Meet my friend Lauren. I’ve been doing makeup for quite a while now, and to this day, I’ve never met a bride like Lauren. Lauren was absolutely the most laid back bride I’ve ever met! On her wedding day, there were no last minute jitters and no minor details being fussed over. The bride and groom were in chill mode!!! In fact, before the wedding, the couple played bocce ball and shared a few beers with wedding guests on the beach. Consequently, that’s when my girl got sunburned!!!
After the cream soaked in a bit, I applied Shu Uemura base control in green
(this product cancels out redness and saved my life that particular day!!!!)
Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall, I’m a lizard!!! My skin is Sahara desert dry!! I’m constantly engaged in a battle against ash. Unfortunately ash is a formidable opponent, it has a tendency to overtake an elbow, knee or the heel of a foot at any given moment!! With that in mind, I try my darndest to be armed and ready!! I carry a travel sized bottle of lotion in my purse, and I keep a vat of bag balm on my bedside table. Recently, I ran across a soap that has shea butter as its key ingredient — Hmm, I could start my moisture strategy in the shower!!! Without any hesitation I purchased a bar of Nubian Heritage’s African Black Soap.
The soap smells fantastic. My skin felt pretty good. But holy crap, I couldn’t stand how dirty this soap made my shower!! It didnt occur to me that black soap creates black suds!! Black suds make a white tub look like a grey filthy mess!! Everything that the soap touched had a black skid mark.
Needless to say, the African Black Soap was released from active duty. I don’t have the man power to fight ash and filth!! *SIGHHHHHH* The battle continues….
It’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Bright colors are all the rage this summer, try it on your eyes, lips or even your fingertips!! Well it doesn’t get any brighter than neon!! Try it if you dare!!!
Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! Karla Jones, my mother, has had a great couple of years. She’s celebrated her 61st birthday and also married the love of her life !! With such a busy schedule, Mamacita hadn’t had time to pamper herself.
Check out Karla’s rap sheet:
First I groomed her brows
creme facial bleach was used to lighten the brow color
