Gotta Be Quicker Than That... (Kyshadow Palette Vs. Shaaanxo Palette)



These are two different palettes but they look alot alike don't they? (Shade)
Well Kylie's Kyshadow Bronze Palette has been released with a price point of $42. Meanwhile this Shaaanxo palette for BH Cosmetics, which I own and looks similar to the Kyshadow palette, has a price point of $11. The Shaaanxo palette includes 9 lip colors AND a mirror on both sides.

Im sticking with my Shaaanxo palette.
Gotta be quicker than that, Kylie.

NOT MY COINS| Jeffree Star and Kat Von D Drama + Thoughts on Kylie Cosmetics Scandal



I have been hearing about Jeffree Star for awhile. I have to admit that I admired his liquid lipsticks along with his Beauty Killer palette. However, I am happy that I didn't purchase any of his products. With the way he presents his self along with his past racist statements, I am glad he never received any of my coins. Right now, especially with everything thats going on, I want to reserve my coins on brands that support me and people who look like me. I advise everyone to do the same. Here is my video on the Jeffree Star and Kat Von D drama and I also included my two cents on Kylie cosmetics and the lack of quality with her metals line.

Kim's Got Receipts (Taylor on Video Approving the Infamous Line in "Famous")





















Yaaaassss. I am tickled pink. Kim was like, " Nope, not this time". I am so here for it. Now, a few months ago at the Grammy's, Taylor made a big fuss about Kanye's lyric in his song "Famous" that basically said that he still thinks they would have sex and how he made her famous (which he did bring her more attention, lets be honest). She made a point to get on that stage and while accepting her award, decided to bash Kanye and scold him about calling her a bitch and demanding that all women should not let people disrespect them and their name. Well, lookie here....... Roll that beautiful bean fudge Kim.


Reciepts Bih! Guess, she took some advice from Blac Chyna, THAT'LL TEACH 'EM!!

Sleep Paralysis or Paranormal Activity?

I have been suffering with this for years. Probably as young as 11 maybe. I have had at least 2 bad experiences with it. Sleep paralysis is the most frightening thing you can experience especially if you hear creepy noises and see the dark figures as I have. I found a YouTube video that pretty much summed up my dark figure experience. Here it is:
Here are my experiences with sleep paralysis.

So now you tell me, have you experienced this? Do you think it more than sleep paralysis?

And Another One #PhilandoCastile




Philando Castile (credit: Castile Family)




I'm done for today. I cant...

Breaking Point.... #AltonSterling



My heart aches...
How many more of our men will be murdered?
How many more families will lose sisters, mothers, fathers, brothers?
How many more unfit officers will get off for murder?
How many more hashtags will we see before we make a change in this corrupt system?
I am so tired of the same routine, year after year. This hashtag, that hashtag, and so forth. What are we not doing? Why are these unfit monsters able to call themselves police officers and be able to lurk and patrol for their next victims night after night, year after year and no one see's the signs? Why does this keep happening? I don't understand. As a mother of a black son, I am terrified when I SHOULDN'T be. I shouldn't have to anticipate having a sit down with my son briefing him on tips to survive an encounter with the police when chances are he's going to be shot ANYWAY.

At this point, what can we do to prove that there needs to be a change?

Fergie Epic M.I.L.F$ Video (Extreme Slayage)





And of course I had to do a makeup look for this video! I chose Ciara's look because I love how edgy it was but it was still sultry and feminine.




Here is how I did this look:

We Have All Been There....

                                   
We have all been there. Fell madly in love. Thought that this guy was THE ONE. That his love was different than the rest but then.....

SHIT GOT REAL!

Yes, Iggy has said some crazy things in the past. I get it. But as a woman, I feel for her. Here she is, totally in love and engaged and then BOOM, she finds herself finding out first through security footage that her man isn't what she thought he was AND then she logs on to twitter to find out not only has he been unfaithful but he has managed in between bringing randoms into the house while she was gone, to knock up his baby mama. Damn!
                                   

No lie, I would have went Angela Basset on that ass. There is only so much I could take and that would have been my breaking point. Why would you go out of your way to get engaged to someone who you have no intentions on doing right by? Why not save your coins and stay single? Doesn't that make more sense?

I hope she gets through this and doesn't carry her scars for years to come. Usually after that really bad guy, you find your prince. I hope that for her. I hope that for all women who are going through it. We deserve someone who will love us but most of all appreciate us enough to give us the love that we deserve....the first time.

The Problem With Jesse Williams

                            Image result for jesse williams bet awards
 Let me say, I have admired this man physically for a long time. Peeped him in Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" video. I have seen him on Greys' Anatomy. However, I didn't really know him. This all changed Sunday night during the BET Awards. When he opened his mouth, I'm sure most expected an average "Thank you, lets continue trying the change the world" speech but what we got was way more than that. What we witnessed was magic, that was very real.

"This is for the real organizers all over the country, the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do."

This got my attention. This got everyones attention. At this moment I knew that this wasn't going to be your average thank you speech. Greater was coming.

"Now, this is also in particular for the black women in particular who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and we will do better for you"

When he said this....

Black women are the most disrespected, overlooked human beings to exist. We are told constantly in rap lyrics how we are just for fun and friendly fucks NOT love. How we are often the head of the household because we have no choice. How some of our men denounce us as an excuse to explain their preference for other races. We are often kicked, we are often dragged for filth and we have been forgotten. But Jesse...

He went on to drop more jewels as I'm sure most of you witnessed.

After giving us gem after gem in his speech, why is that people are focusing on his "light skinned privilege"? Now I am not denying the notion that having light skin can get you a bit further. It has been proven. But lets applaud the fact that a biracial man (his mother is white, father is black) was so flawlessly raised by both of his parents and that they taught him his history. All of it. Not that one chapter a year history we got in grade school. They went way further and in depth with it, as any parent should. He is well aware of white privilege just as much as he is aware of the injustice that we have gone through and experienced in this country because of that white privilege and him being half black doesn't take away from the fact that he is very educated on what it's like to be black in America. It seems to me because he called for more black men to be better to us that they have to overlook that statement and discredit that statement by saying "but he's half white". Well Kendrick's been saying it, Tupac been said it, and other fully black men have been saying it for centuries so my question is when are some of ya'll going to listen?  We love you, we honor, we need you, but most of all we NEED your respect.

The problem with Jesse Williams is not that he is light-skinned, the problem with Jesse Williams is that he spoke the truth. He made you look deep inside of your self. He made you aware of how this world has you so wrapped around it's finger and you are often times wrapping yourselves willingly in exchange for worthless things.
                                                      
Jesse Williams is not angry. He is aware. His eyes have been open and he is daring us to open ours as well. He is inspiring. He is beautiful. He is everything that I would love for my son to be. Honestly, if our black men banded together to love us, to honor us and honor our families, and if we supported each other and got on one accord....do you understand how powerful we could be?

Check Out My Latest Videos!


Forgive me, Lets Talk!

                                      
Hey ya'll! I have missed you. You have probably given up on me, for that, I can't blame you. However, don't count your girl out yet. Its been a crazy year for me. I have had my baby girl, Mia, who has been such a calming and lovable addition to my life. She is so amazing. Also, things have gotten better in my life. Of course, there are things that still need to be worked on but thats all in progress. So lately, I have been cranking out the videos on Youtube. I am so happy to be back creating content. I have missed it so much and I have been enjoying sharing me with other people. Youtube is definitely another creative outlet for me, besides this blog and other things. It's my way of escaping into a world that relates to me.
