MAC StyleSeeker Haul And Swatches

Like most shopaholics I try really hard to stay away from MAC but it's so hard! Either way I made my way for two demos at the Montague location. I instantly fell in love with the fall colors and the manner in which the artists applied the two different styles in their own way was amazing. I even finally figure out how to use my MAC Cleanse Oil other than to take off makeup. Have you ever used it was apart of your foundation mix? Yea I know! So fierce I tell you. More than a shopping spree I always love getting down to MAC and learning how to use staple products in different ways.

Beyonce's Call to Change "I Was Here"

More than a style icon Beyonce has brought attention to the many world issues that are currently taking place. In this video that was less about her and more about everyone else, one could not help but to shed tears to realize that so many of us can say "I Was Here". Whether it be through volunteering at a kitchen pantry, donating clothes to the less fortunate, or even just sponsoring a child to go to camp for a few weeks in the summer, we all can be apart of healing our world. Not many entertainers take that message on one that certainly pierces my mind is the late great Michael Jackson, but Beyonce certainly is making a stab at it and has done so with poise in this video. Stunning in her Marc Bouwer white sequin dress she dazzled and shined, her emotions beamed right through the screen and to my heart. One question that certainly one can translate through the song is, "How will you make your mark on this Earth?"

Happy Birthday Whitney!

Couldn't let this day go by without acknowledging the birthday of a legend that is no longer with us, Whitney Houston would've been forty nine years old today. To honor her I just wanted to share my all time favorite picture of her, along with a video of fellow castmates from the highly anticipated movie "Sparkle", singing two versions of Happy Birthday. Missing you like crazy Whitney and happy birthday may you continually rest in eternal peace.
