Old Fall 2013 pics in my phone!
Hey guys! I found some old fall pictures. I have on Loreal Matte lipstick a little contouring , and of course my crazy hair!
Naked 2 Destruction !
Mourn Please... please... please... bow for a moment of silence!
OMFG I cannot believe what just happened to me! My freaking adorable, terrible, amazing, toddler ruined my Naked 2 palatte! I was putting on my makeup at my vanity, when I left the room to go to the bathroom. Upon my return, I saw Max with glitter and stuff all over his face and body. When I turned around to find the source... I SAW IT!!! : ( : ( : ( I was soooo mad , but I couldnt get mad because he's a kid..... yeah, a kid that doesnt have 54 bucks to replace it. I didnt want to be ghetto and return it to the store , even though I couldve. I managed to salvage what was left but a few of the colors are gonners. so, thank you MAX. I really needed that!

Love On Top Video!
Hey !
So last year around this time, I was a part of the broadcast community of my college, and I was trying to figure out all of the buttons on the camera. After I filmed, I had to also, teach myself Final Cut Pro, on the MAC in our editing room. Needless to say I had some fun with the graphics...... This is what happens when your favorite song comes on Pandora and you have a CAMERA..... People I present to you.... LOVE ON TOP - Beyonce , Perfromed by me! Enjoy!

Natural Hair Length Check
Hey loves, it's been a year since I cut my hair and I think it's appropriate to do a length check . Over the years, my hair has gone under some serious strain and definite wear and tear. I've used extremely minimal heat . I can count on my hand the amount of times I did my natural hair. I had my mom hot comb it twice and do two sew ins. Every other hair style has been a half wig or lace front. The extreme downside to all if this is that I really and honestly neglected my hair underneath! I really did! I barley touched it. I put in some Cantu Leave-In Strengthener but other than that I went au natural . I do not recommend that. My hair broke off and it was super dry and damaged. : ( Since its been a year I think I'm going to reevaluate how I do my hair and wear it natural for a few weeks to get it used to some maintenance. Today I flat ironed it with my roommates CHI flat iron and honestly it burned the SHIT out of my hair! It was cracking and was really crispy (so not good) . I put some grease in it and put it in a bun. I think the growth is great compared to the entire back being bald! I can actually put it in a HIGH ponytail ! Enjoy everyone!

Why I'm NOT excited about Urban Decay: Naked 3 debut.
Hey Loves,
FIRST THINGS FIRST: I LOVE URBAN DECAY.
This post is strictly MY opinion and as a customer/beauty addict/shopping addict/target audience I reserve the right to comment.
I'm not excited about the new release of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for a number of reasons
1: It's tag line is "12 NEVER BEFORE SEEN COLORS!"Of course they are. Urban Decay has unique, highly pigmented, crazy colors! They have never really had a lot of "soft rosey, nude" colors before.
2: It's way overpriced for the amount of "NEW" colors you get.#myopinion
3: I was expecting different packaging. The already Naked palettes are extremely hard to put in a makeup bag or travel with.
4: I've seen them up close and they are in fact NAKED!. The pigments are too NUDE. I get the idea of Naked and why they wanted this one to be more, IN FACT, Naked but there is such a thing as too nude.
I am in the same skin color family as one of my all time FAVORITE beauty bloggers Temptalia . She swatched the colors on her skin and most of the colors hardly showed up. You can see her compare and contrast in full detail (#amazingdetail) each color to both NAKED and NAKED 2.
If you follow my blog at ALL you would know that my style is very pretty and bridal. My main goal in life is to look like a bride EVERY SINGLE DAY! ( Yea, I'm a little nuts..hense the name Goddess In Glasses). I DO LOVE the COLORS. They are right up my alley and under any other BRAND I would purchase.
I'm not saying that I wont end up buying it but as a customer I am not that impressed. It DOES look like an awesome palette for makeup artist and budding beauties to have in their collections. I think that it is in FACT a very BRIDAL, GODDESS-esque , palette and with any OTHER brand or under any OTHER name I would be excited, BUT for URBAN DECAY I am not. I love that they called it NAKED because as I already stated, it does blend in, but I am not that impressed. Maybe I'm comparing this to the first two palatts too much because they are SO DIFFERENT , and I know that they spent a LONG time specifically picking each color and naming them accordingly. I'm not denouncing their reserach, I am just not HYPED about this DEBUT. I am not clammoring to the stores or adding this to my christmas list because I am not as impressed as I thought it would be.
Maybe I am living in the past. Maybe I am so used to Urban Decay's overly glittery and insane colors that I'm not moving in the new brands direction. They are going from GLAM PUNK ROCK to MINIMAL,SOFT, NAKED PRETTY. They are taking their NAKED line all the way:BB Cream, Foundation, Lip Gloss, Eyeliner, Face Powder, NAKED BASICS, Pressed Foundation. Maybe I'm not used to the NEW, NAKED direction but I'm just not that HYPED about it.
I'm not denouncing them as a brand and in fact I love their products, but I loved them for their awesome pigments and crazy colors. I feel like the amazing SUCCESS the original NAKED palette attracted made them shift and forge a new direction with their brand. Originality is key to this business because there are so many competitors and options for consumers to choose from that you MUST create a new path way.
I'm all for expanding and forming new & fresh ideas but they trampled over their already amazing brand. " If it aint broke dont fix it." At the end of the day it's all bout Money and what sells. The NAKED brand is SO successful and SO profitable, that at a business point of view, I know exactly why they would want to create a Trilogy of eyeshadows, however as a consumer, I don't have to buy it just because it has the URBAN DECAY name on it.
As I've been writing this post I've been wondering if I'm going to put this on my Christmas list. Will I ask someone to spend $52.00 on a makeup palatte simply because it's "Pretty" or just to say that I own it? Is OWNING it and not using it better than NOT OWNING it and rehashing reasons why I wont buy it? I will probably make a guy buy it for me ( guys always buy girls stuff to impress them..especially glam chicks that DEMAND this sort of thing...lol ). I will eventually own it at some point in 2014 because it is so PRETTY but I'm not caught up in the DEMAND or EXCITEMENT to BUY it RIGHT NOW.
