The Picture That Spoke a Few Thousand Characters
Meaningless notifications from the Linkedin app led me to my girlfriends profile; A beautiful black woman. After 10 seconds of scrolling the news feed, then 20 seconds of adding random people with cool pics, and titles, I see her. I had never seen this picture, and I was filled with a weird anxious feeling. I get like this whenever she posts pictures on Social Media, which is rare. Her popping up on my feed, is like an Easter Egg in a Marvel movie, or actually seeing a unicorn walk down the street. Its always a rare sighting, and I'm always freaked out for some reason. I texted her to tell her how beautiful the picture was, and how I felt seeing it, and then some more compliments; that I hope she enjoyed as well. I closed the apps, and went back to listening to The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi on YouTube.

Ten Brands Sephora Should Consider
Disclaimer: I am a customer who likes to test out what she’s purchasing. And at the very least, I like to have the assurance that I can go to a physical store ASAP and return something I ordered online because I did not like it. In terms of makeup, for me Sephora is the preferable option, for online shopping and in store returns. But for you, that could be Ulta. I realize that Ulta is better than Sephora for many of you out there who have access to the store. Unfortunately, I cannot speak to that end because I do not have access to an Ulta. Nonetheless, the gist is that I would love for these brands to have a physical store safe-proof. For me, it’s Sephora, for you it might be something else. Really depends on where you live.

This Summer's Red Hot Palette
Maybelline New York’s “The Burgundy Bar” Palette was first mentioned on Instagram almost a year ago with limited availability. It was first marketed in select European areas and has just become a product that I could go to the local Wal-Mart and buy.

Drug-Store Everyday Makeup Routine!
Moisturizer! I know you have seen countless threads of this all over Instagram, but you need to MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE! Moisturizing and Priming are two totally different things, and you need to be doing both to get the trending "glow" right now! I have been using the Le Petit Marseillais Shea Butter, Aloe & Beeswax Body Milk from Wal-Mart. It retails for only $5. It contains shea, aloe, and beeswax, and it is totally safe to use around the eye area. For that "essential glow", I use the L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion $11.39, or the Rimmel London Good to Glow Highlighter $4.29. If you want more of a shade range, the Lumi Glotion, has 4 shades Including: Fair Glow, Light Glow, Medium Glow, and Deep Glow. Rimmel London is cheaper, but it only has 2 shades. Notting Hill Glow, and Soho Glow. I am fair skinned, so if you have a deeper skin-tone, I would give L'Oreal a try!

Every Note Leaves a Mark
I don’t know about you but my favorite part of doing makeup is playing with my eyeshadow. I love to sit and mix colors together, discover different techniques and discover new brands. However, with a lot of us and the time we have in the mornings, being able to actually sit and play with our makeup can be far from our morning routine. With so many new inventions in the beauty industry, the one I have found that really sets everything else apart is eyeshadow pencils. With the pencil that is a liner, primer and pigment all in one, you can create a beautiful, dramatic look in the amount of time it takes to turn on your coffee maker.
