Black Radiance Foundation and Concealer Review




 Here it is!

In these photos I've applied the foundation and concealer that came in my Black Radiance collection box. I'm also wearing the raspberry blush with  the black shadow and liner mineral. I'm new to the concealer world, but I found that I enjoyed that more than the foundation. The coverage seems to pass in the photos but it wasn't nearly as convincing as MAC. Maybe I'm just biased, but I did feel as if I had to apply several coats of foundation before my satisfaction began to kick in. 

The powdered foundation was called mocha, and although it seemed to turn out...ok on my skin, I'm still not completely sold. 

But as I stated in my YouTube video the blush is a must!

Do It Like A Brotha




I made the jump.

It felt a little odd at first, but as my familiarity with shuffling through racks in search of the perfect red tag number grew stronger I began to feel at home. To be honest, shopping in the men's section of Forever 21 proved to be a little fun. I've always thought it was weird that such a seemingly feminine store would create a line for men, but despite my boggled mind, I managed to tip toe my way over there.

As I went through the shirt rack I ran across a variety of masculine shirts that could be worn in a feminine way. The shirts above were great statement shirts.

The black tank states, "No thing can come of no thing." It was quoted from William Shakespeare, which is perfect for me considering that I'm a literary geek. The second one has some humor to it considering that posting selfies has become an international symbol for narcissism. But I laughed when I saw it, and I even laugh when I get compliments and smiles because of it.

These two pieces are great adds for a girl that's simply trying to find her style.
