::Review | NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - "Antwerp" ::
What NYX Says:
Neither lipstick nor lip gloss—this is lip cream. A new kind of pout paint that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte formulas, also moisturizing. Available in 11 shades.
What Nita J Says:
I’m not going to lie..when I first used this product I wasn’t too crazy about it. I saw it in ULTA...

::FOTD - 5.20.11 | Flirty at the Office::
I decided to be fun and flirty in the office today! I had bought a new eyeshadow a few weeks back and forgot all about it; IMAN Cosmetics Luxury Eyeshadow in “Pewter”. It was still in the bottom of my purse in the box and everything…shame on me! I mixed this with a few other shades of brown and plum-like shadows. I loved the outcome!

For work today, I wanted to do something light but add just a pop of color. My blazer has a hint of blue material in it so I decided to make my eyes pop with a shade of blue eyeshadow. I know that a blue shadow may sometimes not be a good choice for the office, but depending on the shade, it’s definitely wearable!
So today I rocked MAC’s “Contrast” Eyeshadow. It’s...

My colour addiction has been fed. I don’t know what to love more: the photographer, concept, colours or makeup artistry? This puts colour blocking or colour blending into a whole new realm. The faces are literally a raw canvas for watercolour art. Was Monet the makeup artist?
