Whoooehhh!!

I was browsing the web, and saw this and i just thought the

message was interesting. 

Judge Not! 

I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING!!! ♥

Lately, I've just been buying lots of different cosmetic products and 

practicing and I have fallen in love all of again. =)

Elf Liquid Eye Liner (Black)

Ardell Lashes (Demi) I believe lol

Lip: Some random gloss. I have over 50 lip glosses so, 

just a random stick!

Then I wanted to do more eyeshadow. Make more of a statement I guess lol. So 

I decided to go for a blue-ish, turquoise look with a very bold pink lip. 

By the Im starting to be heavily addicted to colored lips. I FINALLY

bought some OCC Lip Tars. Which I plan on putting pics

up VERY soon.

I finally purchased two type of Mac foundations. 

1) Mac Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation/Loose Powder 

I bought it online in Deep Dark but i haven't used the product yet. So i don't know if the powder

is too dark for my skin complexion. The next time

I ty another look, I am going to use it =). 

And

2) Mac Mineralize SkinFinish Natural- 

 I bought it in Dark. < Thats the colors name.

Its sort of a pressed powder. I used it today

and I love it. Maybe even better than my 

Iman powder. Its really light I used it over my Revlon

ColorStay liquid foundation. You can see the

photo in the next picture. #LovedIt

Today, I wasn't going anywhere (i never do lol ) and I wanted to put on some makeup, Not A lot. So, I tried the new Mac

Powder and I wanted to do a colorful lip. 

And thats what I did!

Yummy Lips!!

Perfect ImPerfections

So of course I think Im FABULOUS! lol But we all have our 

imperfections and things about ourselves that we need or want to change.

As we approach this new year, I wanted to 

dedicate this post to Change!

I bet we've all made numerous attempts at New Years Resolutions

But this time I'm going to take a new route.

Instead of naming all the bad things and stuff i want to change in this new year...

I'm going to appreciate what I already have, and the IMPROVEMENTS.. 

2011 will bring!

My Perfections =) 

(3 things i love about myself)

* SKIN - I've talked about my skin before in a previous post, http://aosdenae.blogspot.com/2010/12/foundation-my-trial-and-error.html
That being said, i love my skin. I love the tone. I'm not too dark (well sometimes in
the summer i am) and not too light! I'm perfect lol i love my cheeks =) and i dont get pimples! lol
Im Blessed!

* Hair- I have a nice grade of hair! I don't need a perm, which
is very rare for African American women. My hair is naturally
curly (Not always fun when u want a wrap etc).
If i want it straight i just have to wash, blow dry and  straighten and Im good to go!
When i was younger i had thicker, fuller and longer hair. Now, its
a decent length. I wear a lot of sew ins (weave) so you rarely see it. But yea, my hair is great!

* Eyes- So i dont wear eye shadow (YET) and after i apply my foundation, i would
put on eyeliner, mascara and maybe some lashes if im going out or something
and afterwards my eyes look AMAZING. And thats why its on my faves list. lol
They're a regular color, not big and bold but
they just stand out when done correctly and i think it makes my whole face appear....
better lol idk i just love my eyes!

My Imperfections =(

(3 things i would love to improve in the new year)

* CHUB-CHUB - I'd like to believe i handle being heavy set quite well lol.. The key

is to wear things that appeal to YOUR body type. Some females think they can wear any and everything #NotCool! lol On another note, its time to get healthy. It sucks sometimes not being able to wear what u envision. Kinda like you see what u want to wear in your mind, but when u go to the store you cant seem to find the right items... Yea, like that! SMH! ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE! 

* TEETH! - Yo... I just dont like them lol. If you've read my previous blog, http://aosdenae.blogspot.com/2010/11/just-smile.html
you will have more details. So i definitely hope next year i could
get some invasline or something lol i hate braces though. IDK.. but next year i
need to get this fixed!

* TOES-  They're not cute unless i have a pedicure.. and in the winter i dont get them done
as often so right now... they look horrible! lol My toenails are short and my feet are ashy lol
Not Cool.. lmao



LET'S MAKE THINGS RIGHT THIS NEW YEAR! 
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
A LOT OF TIMES WE PUT OURSELVES DOWN BECAUSE OF OUR IMPERFECTIONS... ENOUGH OF THAT!
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO HAVE!
BE BLESSED.. -DENAE

My Distant Man

For a second...

I thought i found the most Perfect, Imperfect Man

Fell from a distance and caught a love never known to man

From his Swag to his Cockiness

Street Smart, But still a Gentle man

How could you not love this Simple Man

My Distant Man

For a moment...

We talked about us, us as in we

Together me and he

YET she interfered

Now the distance no longer brought serenity

More like Jealousy, 

Cuz she got to touch you in places I could never see

From a distance

So i Moved closer

Got to the heart of a True Soldier 

Told you my dreams and goals

Exchanged mindsets and Future Roles

No longer felt defeated by your little hoes

Cuz i knew your heart

and Hey thats the way love goes

No Separation between the two

Even though they both knew the truth

Words begin to fade

Yet arguments seemed to escalate

over and over

Until Lies made up our "Love"

You jumped out before we could Fall Together

Made it hard for me but i still stuck by your side through whatever

I never got the chance to say i was done

I was still searching for the chance to be your number One

You let me Fall without catching my Breathe

I was too Deep in love for you to just Leave my chest

My heart didn't understand what was going on

So i stayed around so it could patch up

what you had already done wrong

While you slept, fucked and sucked 

Every SHE you laid you eyes on

I waited.

To be appreciated by you

To no gratitude, i left with my heart tucked away

From a Love i thought i knew

From a Love i thought was you

To hear you say that what we had was never true

That our love meant nothing to you

That the tears i cried, was just water to you

That you had BEEN done...

You just thought i knew

From that moment on...

I realized my Distant Man

 Wasn't really a man at all

More like an adolescent wandering to find himself

So i leave with NO regrets

For you've taught me the strengths within myself..
