Dream Angels Demi

Okay!  So... I needed new bras in the WORST way, but kept putting it off.  I decided to bite the bullet and just go charge some on my VS account, that has been paid off for about 3 years now.  It was the best decision I have made in awhile.  Usually a typical bra fitting session sucks for me... I never like how I look in the mirrors and I always feel fat!  Anyway, yesterday was different, I grabbed about 4 different styles but IMMEDIATELY fell IN LOVE with the Dream Angels Demi... OMG... It holds these girls UP and separates and doesn't make me squish out of the top!  No quad boobies here!   I bought it in black, white, and slate blue...  Soooooo excited to wear it and feel good about myself again!  I seriously wanted to cry when I was looking in the mirror!  I haven't felt that sexy, slim, and beautiful in a long time!  I won't deprive myself of the nice things anymore...  Truth is... I AM WORTH EVERY PENNY.

XOXO,

Lo Lo Was STARSTRUCK!

Yesterday we were having an event at work to promote our new Book Of Shadows Vol. 3 (UD *heart* NYC). We all dressed up in ol' skool 90's hip hop wear. I wore my RUN DMC shirt and GUESS WHAT????? I was standing in front of my counter, waiting to pull my next client, and REVEREND RUN from RUN DMC was approaching with one of his associates! I was in SHOCK! How freakin' random that I wore that shirt the day he strolls through MACYS! So I looked at him and said, "Oh my God, HI!" He goes, "How ya' doin?" I repeated myself, "OMG, Hi!".. He looked at me, saw my shirt, and showed his boy. His boy goes, "Give her the shoes, dog." I was like, "What?" They handed me an Adidas shoebox. Inside were a pair of men's size 11 Shell Toes... Signed, "God Bless!!! Rev Run" They had been worn! Now if I'm putting 2 and 2 together correctly, I'm thinkin' those were a pair of his shoes, and he was waiting to find the perfect person to give them to. I looked up, and said, "4 real???" He goes, "yup, you deserve the shoes". I said, "Can I have a hug?" LOL... He gave me one. Now, all of this happened while he was walking by, so it went very fast and I didn't have time, or HE didn't have time to stop for a picture with me. But, my coworkers handled getting pictures after I got the shoes. I don't think my smile could have been ANY LARGER!  LOL Let's just say that yesterday was truly one of the highlights of this girl's life! Now to find a display unit for these KICKS!


XOXO,

Holiday Time @ Urban Decay!

It's my favorite time of year!  Not only for the amazing food, cold weather, and quality family time, but for all the great items that makeup lines throw at you!  LOL... I was totally stoked on the Urban Decay Book Of Shadows III (UD *heart* NYC).  I am a total hip hop listenin', big hoop/door knocker earring wearing, sneaker rockin' lady who happens to LOVE New York, AND makeup more than anything!  What could be better than putting the two together in an amazing palette???  This dang palette features a pop up of the city/people in front of a LIT background!  Yes, the freakin' thing LIGHTS UP when opened.  It has a drawer underneath that holds 16 eyeshadow colors ranging from fierce shades to more neutrals, 2 eyeliners, and a mini UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion)  54 bux plus tax!  I copped mine today!  Get your's!  Peep the pics!


AND THEEEEEEENNNNNNN......

I took a stroll over to Sephora on my lunch break, just to see what THEY had that WE didn't.  I KNEW they were getting a particular palette for holiday that we weren't... BUT... I had no idea they had it already!  So, what's a girl to do???  I bought it.  Did I mention MAKEUP IS MY OBSESSION?  So... This palette is called The Black Palette.  When I first saw it, I was thinkin' major Kat Von D status.  I love her, so it all worked out.  LOL... This palette is a little more simple.  It showcases dark, smokey shades from black to green to purple.  There are 6 shades and I love them all!  This one also comes with the UDPP, only in EDEN.  Eden is the opaque yellow version of our eye primer.  I dig it, and I simply adore this palette! 36 bux plus tax and you can walk out the door with a smile on yo' face! PICTURES BELOW... ;)

Can't wait to start rockin' my palettes!  Looks soon to come!

XOXO,

Then & Now... A Rise To Greatness!

So, I know there are many local artists out there doing their thang... But I want to make mention one group, that I have seen grow from the very beginning.  Black Cotton came about a few years back, I would say about 4 to 5 years ago.  Let's see, I am 28 years old now, and I first met Nardo (Shad) when I was 21... Long time!  From there I met Jimbo Slice (James) and a year or two later on one of our annual Rosarito weekends, I had the pleasure of meeting MarreL (Marlon)... Soon there after I met the infamous Trey!  He moved back from Jacksonville and it seemed like BC really got a dose of what they needed to finally get this going.  I actually have a demo of when they first started... They would kill me if I let it loose, so don't ask to hear it!  LOL...  I have had the pleasure of sitting in on a recording session in the basement of Nardo's house and really get to see the passion behind the music, first hand.  At first I was thinking, "Oh this is a cool hobby for these guys"... But, I was wrong... It's much more than a hobby, it's their life!  Their sound to ME, I would say is a mix of PM Dawn, cause it's so nice to just chill to... With a twist of Slum Village... for Cruisin' in your ride. 
Nardo, I would have to say is the confident, but sweet teddy bear.  Jimbo is the sensible, business minded, comedian.  MarreL is just straight smooth.  Trey Peezy, is a hustla and a gentleman.  I had the opportunity to work a bit as their makeup artist on their last video shoot, "Something About It" on their new "Keys To The Suite" album, and I had a great time... I told them next time I want to be in the video, not behind the scenes!  ;) 
Take time to peep their blog, http://itsallbc.blogspot.com/, and hit 'em up on Facebook!  I love my boys to death and am excited to be apart of their lives and this amazing journey!

XOXO,

MAC VENOMOUS VILLAINS!

Okay, so I got quite a few items from the MAC Venomous Villains collection.  My favorite collection after seeing it in person is STILL Maleficent.  I loved her mineralized eyeshadows!  I got the blue/green one called, She Who Dares; I love it!  The picture doesn't do it justice at all, though.  It is loaded with blue and green SHIMMER up the yin yang!  The only two items I have used from my purchase, so far is that shadow, and the lip gellee called Resort Life from the Princess and The Frog Villain... DON'T ask me to spell his name.... LOL... Anyway, I love the line.  People have been complaining about the actual look of the product, saying it looks cheap, but I don't think it does.  They are still shots from the movies put on the product!  I do however LOVE the boxes for the line.  They have sketches of the character on them, and they look so chic!  I will put up more pics from what I bought when I do the look!  I'm so excited to share with you!

XOXO,
Lo Lo
