Vlog|| SBGBK2014 My Experience

Hey guys,

Sorry about the wait. I know people had been asking for me where the post was. So instead of giving you a whole bunch of excuses, lets just relish in the fact that it is here!!

So I went to the Smart Brown Girl event here in Brooklyn, NY and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am a psych major as some of you may know and I have always talked about topics here on my channel and blog space. I went to this event expecting to get something out of it and I did! I had been battling with depression crazy as a teen. I would like to say around Junior High School days. I found myself really in a  bad space and that reflected in how I kept myself. I wanted to push people away so I did all I could think of. I wouldn't put deodorant on, I wouldn't do my hair, I would try and be mean and people still wanted to be around me. I couldn't understand and I still don't till this day.

I went to this event and almost cried like 3 times. I am serious I felt like they were talking to me. I had been debating and fussing and fighting with myself to upload a video on depression and starting the discussion. I have some crazy things in store for The Discussion and feel that it will help many women and men in our communities. I want to impact ALL people not just people who relate on a skin color level. I have been told not to do this because people don't care, but I do and so I am going to dedicate myself and my time to this project like I do my 9-5 that I am hoping I get fired from. Long story!

Hey guys as promised. Here are the MAC Lipsticks that I have that are part of their permanent line. I find myself gravitating towards darker colors anyway. It's just my thing lol. So in nor particular order here are the lipsticks I am fond of this fall.

Russian Red:
Russian red is an intense blueish red. I find the formula to be smoother than Ruby Woo but still giving me the same vibe. Its very matte but not drying. Long lasting.

Ruby Woo:
Very matte blue based red. This is my go to red lip. Some people find it too matte and for me I don't have an issue with application. Long lasting as well.

MAC Red:
This lipstick is part of their Satin line. Its a very bright blue-ish red and very in your face. I don't feel it has the best staying power by itself but pried with a lip liner it won't budge.

Diva:
A matte reddish-burgundy color.

Hang up:
This is more of a deep berry shade. It is part of the creme sheen family.

Rebel:
This is a very creamy plumpish color. Another Satin finish and very popular.

Heroine:
Is a matte bright purple. Very gorgeous!

Flat Out Fabulous:
Bright plum matte shade. Very complimentary to many skin tones in my opinion.

Violetta:
Is a gorgeous amplified finish. Bright violet purple.

Media:
This satin finish is great for fall cause it is moisturizing. This is described as an intense reddish purple.

Sin:
This color is described as a deep dark blue red. It has a muddy look to it and I love the matte texture. Though it is matte it isn't drying and I feel it is a gorgeous color.

Smoked purple:
Deep eggplant purple. It is so pretty and you can see the difference when you wear it.

Cyber:
Very intense black purple.
