[Beau-Tea]NYC Cosmetics

Lipstick Review

If you follow my blog you already know that I'm not big on spending a ton of money on makeup and Im always looking for a bargain. Well I found one recently at Target, and picked up 3 NYC lipsticks for $1.99 each. Since I've been on my "makeup-comback" journey I've found a new love for NYC cosmetics especially there lipsticks. They apply smooth and are pretty long lasting only requiring minor retouch throughout the day. I've even been asked if I was wearing Mac lipsticks a few times.;-) Impressive right?! Take a look at my new lipsticks below !

[Beau-Tea] Two Toned Lips

Two Toned Lips

" Make a statement with your lips"

Recently I worked backstage for Honey's Child Boutique at the Saint Louis Pink Carpet Fashion Show a Charity fashion show for Breast Cancer awareness . As you may or may not know it is traditional to wear all black when helping out back stage at a fashion show so that you are identified as staff.Wearing black posed as a dilemma for me because I still wanted to be able to showcase my support for Breast Cancer Awarness but it's almost impossible to do in all black apparel. So after throwing my thinking cap on I choose to rock a two tone pink lip.My "lip-spiration"comes from my curvy-licious cousin Chrissy who is always dressed to impress with flawless makeup to match.The key to achieving the perfect two tone lip is by choosing two colors in the same color family but different shades or two different colors that complement each other.For example if you have a bright red lipstick choose a darker second lipstick.Check out the close up of my two tone lips below!

 Convertible Boots

"From Boots to Booties"

There's nothing that brings my fashion heart more joy than an item that can serve multi purposes like these awesome pair of Studded Fold-Over Combat boots from Torrid. These convertible boots can go from boots to booties in a matter of second's, which in my opinion is a "Fall-buh-las" buy! What I love most about these convertible combat boots is that there wide foot and wide calf friendly, which is really important when your a Plus Size Beauty! To achieve a more edgy look you can wear them up straight and for a more softer ellobrate look fold them down and show off the killer studs.Check out how I rocked my convertible boots below.

"Team work make the dream work"

What happens when some of the best full figured fashion bloggers in the game team up to create a Holiday collection of jackets? A fashion explosion!!! MYNT 1792 approached these bloggers because they loved there personal styles and knew that each of them could create five uniquely different but equally fabulous jackets, and boy did they deliver! I love how each of these ladies interpreted there personal style into each jacket while also drawing inspiration from other places.As much as I would love to get my hands on some of these jackets right now they won't be released for sale until November 1st.These trendy coats range between $108-$248 and because they wont be released till next month that gives you beauties plenty of time to set aside money for these "Fall-Buh-Las" jackets. But until then here's a sneak peek at each jacket and the inside scoop on where each blogger drew there inspiration from while designing these beautiful and very versatile pieces!

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MYNT 1792 HOLIDAY COLLECTION

Nadia Aboulhson "I was really inspired by the early '90s and various Missy Elliott videos for this jacket.Making my dream jacket, and the fact that my readers can actually have access to it is incredible!"

Alison Teng "Being able to work with MYNT 1792 on a namesake jacket was a total dream come true! I wanted to create a piece that works for Southern California's mild winter, and incorporates a few of my favorite features-quilted leather sleeves, exposed zippers in a rich gold hue, and a convertible length for added versatility."

Kellie Brown "Creating a namesake jacket with MYNT 1792 was such a fun experience. I'm really into sporty looks right now, so I wanted to make a casual jacket that felt special. Anything convertible is a big win for me, so this jacket is a three-in-one. It's a three-quarter puffer coat, a vest, and a short sport jacket."

Nicolette Mason "I've been following MYNT 1792 for the last couple of years, and they've become one of my favorite emerging brands. Being able to work with the team from MYNT 1792 on designing my jacket was a dream come true; it was so fun to be able to create a jacket (a pink one, naturally) that was 100% my own vision — with added inspiration from their design team.

"The five girls included in the MYNT 1792 collaboration, myself included, all have distinct aesthetics and strong stylistic points of view — all of which I think come across really, really clearly in our jackets. At the same time, I know with 100% confidence that we could all rock all of the jackets in this collection without hesitation."

 

Franceta Johnson "I wanted to create an edgy, versatile, coat that could be worn as many ways as possible. This two piece trench can be worn as a dress, a vest, a crop and... well, a full trench, duh! I added some quilted sleeved because I will always be obsessed with them and a belt for a little more detail. I hope you guys love the design as much as I do!"
