Style + Life + Fashion’s Photo of The Day goes to Brandy Norwood. This songstress and actress received the NAACP Award for Supporting Actress in A Comedy Series.
Brandy looked very chic wearing a heart-shaped, cutout dress along with an inverted bob. She’s been a fan of ours for years and her style last night set her apart from the rest. And we can’t forget about that nude lipstick: gorgeous!

I received my acrylic makeup box in the mail and instantly wanted to share my excitement with readers.
I am passionate about this product because it’s sturdy, holds the majority of my cosmetics, and I can see all of the products that are inside!
It’s the perfect compliment to my rotating desk organizer which I shared on Instagram. Stop for a few minutes and enjoy the video which discusses a few of my makeup organization tools.

Last week I received a package in the mail from Tonja, the CEO of Virginn Pure Mineral Makeup. Of course, I was super excited to test out the products because I love makeup. But most importantly, this line of cosmetics is considered to be a mineral product.
For those that are not savvy about the use of mineral based makeup, the Virginn Pure Mineral Makeup line’s considered to, “give skin a natural glow and feel as if you have nothing on.” According to sources, mineral makeup is also helpful for women with sensitive skin and need assistance covering blemishes.
Many people are not aware that I suffer from having eczema (all over.) Having this skin care issue is my driving force behind developing a regiman and wearing the proper makeup for my skin type (to protect my skin from environmental debris.) That purpose alone is a positive incentive for anyone to test out this brand.
Upon opening the package, I received several makeup brushes, shimmering bronzer, and foundation. And I have to agree that this product did indeed live up to it’s testimony! When applying the foundation and bronzer, I only needed to use a small amount of each product. The makeup brushes felt wonderful and my face looked great throughout the remainder of the evening.

According to Elle Magazine, it’s time to put away that red lipstick! MAC Cosmetics has debuted their latest collection titled, “It’s All About Orange.“
We all know tht make up changes with every season and it’s fun to experiment with a new shade. And from the way it looks, MAC has provided us with a variety of “hues” from the color orange.
The collection will be available for purchase on June 6, 2013 and will include 18 face, lip, and nail products. Stay on the look out for it glamazons and how can we forget about the additional Rihanna Summer Collection…
