2010-05-17T12:14:00.000-07:00

So in the works are exclusive Black Butterfly merchandise that will launch before the makeup and also skin care. Ive found a site where I can test outthe merchandise so they may beready for sale as soon as thisweekend. Once I see the numbers. Ill mass produce andsell them on the website. Merchandise will include tshirts. hats. mugs, keychains, and tote bags.

of course skincare would be just that..skincare lol for face and body. lotions, serums, body butters, washes ect.

Ive decided to roll out all at once..what can I say ima risktaker.

Im also working on other projects as well, which I wont mention until its concrete and finalized...

Until next time my butterflies!

To Prime or not to Prime? Then is to base?

2010-04-18T17:30:00.000-07:00

As many of you may already know Im having a time with primers. So join me on my road to finding that perfect primer.

Eyes: So Ive tried Urban decay primer potion, and Too faced Shadow Insurance both of which are good primers, holds the shadow in place but for me they dried my lids out. The inner corner of my eyes get wrinkly and dry and very irritating. How irritating? I had to wait a week before I could wear eyeshadow, not to mention putting more than usual eye cream on my eyes so now i got oily eyes, not to mention cant wear my contacts cuz my eyes are irritated. Then I started using the eye pencils like NYX jumbo pencils, now these are iffy because some of the more matte colors work for me like yellow, milk, and hot pink, but the more "creamier shimmery" ones like horseradish creased like a bitch. Creamy primer bases like elf cream eysehadow were next and their ok but still creases. I finally got my hands on some paint pots from MAC and I swear I cant believe I didnt go with these first. Groundwork is my go to paint pot and I must say Im happy for now.

Face: I've been using Makeup Forever HD Primer and I must say its the best I've used thus far. I've used the Revlon Primer which was pretty good in the beginning but then started breaking me out. I then went to the Avon primer (which for the life of me I cant remember) which was pretty good but eventually the smell started to bother me. Yea the smell, u ever smell something that u wasnt sure if you liked the smell but kept using the product but just couldnt get passed the smell? Yea thats the case here, so when I was all out, I just never ordered more. I never used the Monistat chafing cream, never jumped on that bandwagon but I hear its the best inexpensive kind.

Lips: The only primer I use for my lips is Vaseline. Long time family secret LOL.

I won JESBLANKET makeup contes

2010-03-14T22:20:00.000-07:00

Soooooo I do not know how I forgot....I came in third for JesBlankets Makeup contest...yay....perfect example..No Risk No Reward

weekly update

2010-03-14T21:12:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness...decisions decisions decisions. Im trying to perfect my cosmetic line and I swear I cant decide! I cant decide on packaging, I keep getting my logo redone..good thing my bro is the graphic artist :)if I want to go mineral...aye aye aye. That being said and for other reasons Im pushing the launch date back to the summer...dont want to but i also dont want to rush anything either.

So my new motto lately is 'NO RISK NO REWARD'...I cant for the life of me remember which show I've gotten it from lol. Either way it something to live by, I mean think about it...if you scared to do something, refuse to or just dont do it you cant reap the benefits. People sit around and want certain things but they wont get up and do it. Sad to say I grew up around that and I refuse to be in that statistic. I've had the "Why you doing that?" questions asked so many times when I said I was starting a cosmetic line. "Why not?" is what I answer. I didnt go to school for my business degree for nothing. I want to be able to use it and the best boss you can have is yourself. Im also a LEO so its in my stars to be in charge lol. So along with my new motto is some new life changes which includes lifestyle, career and health. Im making a list of all the goals I want to accomplish this year and Ill be damned if I dont complete it all this year.

Ok thats enough babbling. I expect to have a couple of videos posted this week on the tube so stay tuned

READER BEWARE: Erotic excerpt from "Tilly"

2010-02-18T20:06:00.000-08:00

She arrived to NY with the attention of living free and having fun. She made her usual phone calls to alert her friends she was in town, and tried to set her busy schedule to accommodate their demands to be seen. Then she called him. He has been waiting since September to see her, and there was a nice dessert awaiting her arrival.
They met at the movies in Queens. The trip was long over due, due to only one phone around a talkative cousin. They decided to see Hostel which, in her opinion, was off the mothafucking heezy! After the movie ended, they walked out and spotted her same talkative cousin. She let her know that no one would be awake, so make arrangements to shelter elsewhere. No biggy, she thought because there were no intentions on returning to the house in the first place. She continued with her date into a cab. There was small talk, but nothing major. Once they arrived to the destination, there were loud voices coming from the other side of the door. There apparently was a party going on for the fight. There were guys leaving and brief hellos were rendered. The drink made for her was strong, but she drank it greedily, and requested another. By the third drink, her date and she were on the couch making out while the remaining partiers retired into another part of the house. The feelings felt were vulnerability, warmth and a sexual desire to be freaked and pleased at the same time…then he went down.
Parting her legs, he utilized his tongue to perform unbearable techniques to her moistened lips. She was yearning for the unexpected; he complied with her wishes. She moaned out with the intent to accept, yet express the pain. Not just being long, but thick spread her as well. Then she looked up and noticed that there were being viewed by another party goer supposedly in the back. She continued. Then the question was asked if the peeping tom could attend the festivities as well. She nodded her head. Right away, her mouth was full with a growing instrument. She handled herself, knowing she was a bit over head........

hmmm want more? stay tuned lol that girl bad huh....?

February Favorites!

2010-02-16T16:08:00.001-08:00

These are my five favorite faves of February (wow try saying that 5 times fast)
1. MUFE HD Primer - This is a GREAT primer for the face. I apply before foundation, to ensure a smoother application. If Im going for a more natural look, ill use alone with my mineralize skinfinish in "Comfort" from the all ages, sexes collection.
2. Cant wear foundation and primer cant do all the work. Got to start with good skin. I treat my skin to Gentle Healing vitamin e lotion. OMG! If you have dry skin, I highly recommend a face routine that involves vitamin E. Since using this product, my skin has a more healthy glow and super soft.
3. Maybelline gel eyeliner - what can I say but sooo much better than HIP Creme liner in black. I havent had any other problems with the other colors of hip creme liner but the black. My black is like paste...before trying MAC Fluidline, I decided to use the maybelline gel liner. Its soft, creamy, and very smooth. And talk about lasting really long and the crazy thing bout it is it comes off easily with makeup remover. No scrubbing
4. NYX Tan cream blush. - This is my first cream blush and i must say im hooked. It goes on smooth and lasts all day.
5. Last but not least, my favorite highlight color thus far. MAC Vanilla pigment. So far ive only been using it as a highlight, but i plan to create a look using this pigment.
Tune into my youtube to check out the video!

Black Butterfly Cosmetics!

2010-02-15T16:45:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited in starting my own cosmetic line. Its hard work and very tedious, but in the end I know it'll work out for the good. I'm in love with makeup and why not let the thing I love be my career?? My line is called Black Butterfly Cosmetics. This name is very important to me. During this last year or so I feel like I've changed and evolved in the woman I am now. I'm officially grown up :)

I've commissioned my brother to do my logo. Tell me what u think!
