I absolutely love Colourpop Cosmetics! They make high quality makeup, with a small price tag. I originally tried them out when I heard of a flash sale the brand was having storewide. The California based brand was giving folks a chance to buy their goods for as little as 4 dollars for a lippie. Of course I had to give them a shot. I’m so glad I did. It’s been love ever since. Welp, the brand launched a limited edition line of crystal infused products. Nothing that is crazy new in the beauty industry. Why I’m so hyped is that they made it affordable! The lineup includes priming and setting sprays, highlighter, and lip balm. Well I’m happy to say I have become a proud owner and although I still don’t have the products in my hand, I will soon. I opted for the complete collection of the Rose Quartz infused selection, I also bough the setting and priming sprays that incorporated amethyst, aquamarine, and aventurine. I plan to post a video on my experience with the products, so be on the lookout for that! Final word: Makeup is often said to have transformative powers, well now folks can try it out without dropping tons of money.

Her Thoughts: Peaceful Reflection

June 16, 2017 by Suedonym Leave a Comment

Did you peep my jail yard pose? Only thing is I’m smiling…not very “hard” of me. But this post isn’t about my pose. I wanted to talk about something deeper. The importance of reflection. Ever since I was 18 I have been living in large cities. From NYC to Paris, and I tend to visit major cities where my friends and family live. One common factor I have noticed during my travels and residence is this. We must all take time to reflect. Especially when living in large cities, where we can feel like we’re all on top of each other.

My personal advice would be to take a walk. Not the kind where you are exercising, although those are needed as well, but one where you lose yourself. No matter the season, just go. Lose yourself and explore your thoughts. If that doesn’t seem appealing, try meditation. However, meditation can be intimidating or seem too “fro-fro” for some. Therefore, do something that will let you lose your mind for a bit and get centered. It’s worth it, I do it often and I suggest you try it out. See where you end up!
