Look of the day: Blue Ivy

Hi Beauties…I decided to go out yesterday and enjoy the beautiful weather. I had to do a little running around so I wanted to be comfortable yet stylish. I layered a pinstripe blouse with a chunky small necklace, and a longer link one. The earrings, blue cocktail ring, and blue arm cuff are my fave. They are vintage pieces from my grandmother’s collection that I paired with a few gold bracelets. I put on a pair of old jeans, floral wedges, and a blue studded out bag. “Blue Ivy” look of the day. I hope you enjoy!!!!

Until next time Beauties…MUAH!

Wet N Wild 8 Palette Review

Hi Beauties…I hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend. As promised, I wanted to share this EXTREMELY late review on the Wet N Wild 8 Palettes that came out earlier this year.  Each palette was $4.99 and I purchased them from Walgreens.  If you are look for some new vibrant colors that are budget friendly these shadows are perfect for you.

Comfort Zone is the perfect Neutral palette. The colors are very warm tone and have a nice mix of matte/shimmer shadows.

Petal Pusher in all honesty, this palette is my  least favorite out of the three. I find that the colors are very chalky and not as vibrant as the other colors in the collection.

Blue had me at hello is my FREAKIN Favorite. The name speaks for itself….the colors are BOLD and BEAUTIFUL!!!

PROS:

• inexpensive
• colors are vibrant and silky
• ability to create a lot of looks
• sleek 8 palette design

Cons:

• not really a con———-> You HAVE to wear a primer to prevent creasing/long wear (which is true for most brands)
• Petal Pusher palette colors are not as vibrant and not very friendly on darker skin
• They sell out very quick so if you see them BUY THEM

Have you tried any of these Palettes? If so, which one do you like the most?

Until Next time Beauties…MUAH

Hi Beauties…Bright colors are no longer just for the Spring and Summer months. Update your Fall look with a punch of color for a bolder look. Here is another “Beauté Mark” exclusive look I created mixing a variety of textures and styles. I love mixing classic pieces with more modernized, trendier ones.

Summer Most Haves 2011-Part I

Hi Beauties…Summer is finally here, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite items with you.

Red Flare by: Orly

It’s very hard to find the perfect red…it does not matter what complexion you are or race. But I happen to love this shade on me, it’s a warm red!

   

Here are two of my favorite scents…**Beauté Note: You should never run and purchase something that you smelled on someone else and liked. Everyone’s body chemistry is very unique, so it may not smell the same way on you. Instead ask for a sample and wear it for a couple of days to see if you like it**.

Endless Love by: Victoria’s Secret

And I can’t forget about my baby

Daisy by:Marc Jacobs

I can’t get enough of accessories…Here are a few of my faves

Charms, animal print, and feathers…how could I resist

Studs are a must have for me…OD!

Chunks Cuffs are my newest bangles obsession

I wear cross body bags year round. But they are very convenient during the summer since they are a lot smaller and hold less

My bedroom is very Modern, French, Contempoary…I fell in love with this frame the moment I laid eyes on it

This last item was a gift from one of my former co-workers. Not only was it thoughtful, but it is animal print so you know it’s totally ME. Thanks Kristine AKA “NEW GIRL”

What are your summer must haves?

Until next time Beauties…MUAH

>MAC Future Face

>

Hi Beauties…

I am truly feeling the range of colors in the MAC Future Face Collection. I would strongly suggest trying out the new shades if you found it difficult in the past to find your match, or if you fall in between two colors. In my situation…I am in between NW43 (which is too light) and NW45 (which is too dark), but the new shades offer NW44 and I am IN LOVE! Not sure what shade is right for you? Durham-Stop by the MAC counter in BELKS/ Streets at Southpoint and ask for Ms. Lee. Raleigh-Stop by the MAC counter in the outpost upstairs Belks/Crabtree Valley Mall, and ask for Regina. Tell them Celeana aka Beauté Mark sent you.

Until next time BeautiesMUAH!

Okay…so I’m sick in bed catching up on all of my favorite TV shows, when I come across Evelyn from Basketball Wives unwrapping these Killer Christian Louboutin’s. Everyone knows I ♥ ANYTHING LEOPARD, and the fact that these boots are studded just make me even more weak. I thought I was feeling better…but these loubies made me relapse. I MUST own a pair of Red Bottoms this year!!!!!!

>MAC CREMESHEEN GLASS

>

I ♥ This product, it is so Delish for your lips ladies. It goes on very smooth, and not as sticky as Lipglass. I recently purchased one on my trip to DC in the “Richer Lusher” color. ~FAB~ buy one HERE and let me know what you think!!!
