Yummy411: Happy New Year!


HAPPY NEW YEAR loves!

I hope you all did something fab to usher in the new year. I didn't. I monitord Babyyum since he was running a slight temp. We watched the ball drop together and called it a night. While we were waiting for the ball to drop, I did what was only natural; played in my makeup and tried to make up a look that I would have worn if I were going out.

Here's the look:


Face:
-Satin Finish mineralized skin finish
-MSF Natural in medium dark
-Drizzle Gold loose beauty powder
-(eyebrows) a lot of concealer (to hide hairs--ahhh! I need my brows done!) and Cork e/s to fill

Cheeks:
-Blunt blush
-Drizzle Gold loose beauty powder
-a few sprinkles of Antiqued Gold reflect glitter

Eyes:
- concealer to prime
-a bit of saddle in the crease
-Antiqued Gold reflects glitter piled on hoping for ultra shimmer shimmer shimmer!
(the pigment in the glitter provided most of the color)
-a touch of Carbon on the outer corner
-Mystery khol power to line top lid
-Bronze Styli Style liner to line bottom lashline
-Magic Dust e/s for inner corners
-Voluminous mascara
-demi wispy lashes

Lips:
-Oh Baby lipglass
-a bit of Gel lipstick on top

I was watching BET's 2007 top 100 video countdown and caught Ciara's video "Can't Leave 'em Alone." Is it a far stretch to say that her look reminded me of mine? lol Beautiful anyways...


How did you all celebrate New Years? Let me know.. I have to live vicariously through you all sometimes =)

Hi Kia!

Now why is Ciara rocking your look in that video?!?!

This New Year's was pretty chill. I worked (sigh) and then went to dinner (had Thai food) with my hubby. We were going to go out afterwards but ended up just chilling at home. We haven't had a mellow NYE's in while so it was nice.

I hope you had a good one! Happy New Year!

I went over to a friends and had a number of jello shots; turns out peach & watermelon are my fave flavor andwent to bed after that! I sure hope babyumm is okay, kiss him for me pleeeaasseee!!! Anyway I hope your new year is as hot as you are hun and look forward to more post!

Hi love. Sorry to hear that your handsome was not feeling good. My oldest had the stomach bug the past couple of days so I had to monitor the fever and things coming out of both ends. But miraculously playing with fireworks makes the symptoms go away, lol.

I love the look you did. Looks so amazingly gorgeous!!

Anyhow, Happy New Years again mama :) Hope the little gets well soon.

Miss Kia,

I love, LOVE your makeup here! And it DOES look like Ciara's. I love me some Ciara and that video with 50 is hot hot!

Hope you had a good new year and that BabyYum is feeling better.

My NYE was pretty low key too. We decided not to go to that rooftop party in LA and opted to be old folks and stayed home drinking and playing poker with the family :)

I like your eyelashes in that last picture. Very nice. I wish I took enough care to get mine like that.

Hilary Duff's smokey eyes are my favorite. I'd like to rock that style one day.

Cool blog!

Ultra late but love the look! I'm glad you used Antiqued Gold on your eyes with no ill affects. I bought it specifically for my eyes and I read the warning not to! Oh well I'll be breaking the rules.

macheriecoco, thank you! i bought it specifically for my eyes as well. no ill affects. i just dipped my brush in the glitter then sprayed with fix+. i hope i didn't dull the bling effect. i even took extra with my finger and dabbed it on trying to bling it out LOL... i can't wait to see your look with it.
