THE BADDIE LOOK: SPRING IS COMING!

I know. It’s been a long time since I’ve given you all your weekly, ‘The Baddie Look’ but here it is!

Spring is here, and the weather isn’t sure what it wants to do. Here are three different looks that are sure to have you looking Baddie no matter the weather. 

A. Pink Me Please

When has gold and pink not looked good together? These colors compliment each other, and always bring out your skin’s natural beauty. Put a pair of light wash girlfriend jeans, a gold crop bustier, an all white blazer with gold accents, and gold pumps on, and you’re solid. Add statements of pink to your look through your purse, and makeup. With this look keep your makeup natural and pretty as you have enough bold pieces, and you don’t want to over-due your look.

Pink Me, Please

B. Spring Lovin’

The weather may be unsure of its self, but you don’t have to be unsure of your outfits! Be bold with your color choices. Yellow is always perfect for spring. Crop tops are fun, and you can add a pretty and bright jacket as one of your statement pieces. These pretty pastel Giuseppe heels are the perfect color addition to this look, bringing out one of the many colors in this beautiful Ted Baker print jacket. Don’t go over-board with your accessories, you don’t want to appear too gaudy, but do play up your make-up.

C. Diamond Rose

This is a look put together for the working girl, church girl, or for the perfect date night. It shows just enough, and has class for days. Because this look is very neutral, you can have fun with your accessories. Go red! Red nail polish. Red lip. Red bottoms (lol). Go BIG! Add earrings, bracelets, and a necklace to enhance your look, and give you that girly feel and you’re perfect.

LIP GLOSS vs. LIP STICK: WHAT’S YOUR PREFERENCE?

Every girl loves lip gloss.

The fascination started while we were young, when we were given the roller lip gloss in every shade, and flavor. I know you remember all the lip gloss you went through just to make sure your lips were poppin’, and of course the many bottles you lost from being young, with a low sense of keeping things in their rightful place.

Although you had all of that lip gloss, you still gave your mom the side eye when you noticed all of her lip stick. Sure the lip glosses you had, had color, but nothing like the colors your mom had, and you wanted some of that.

Lip stick says womanhood. It distinguishes the women from the girls, but as you get older and you find better lip gloss, when do you move into lip stick?

I’ll never forget a conversation I had with my best friend’s mom. We were talking about lip gloss versus lip stick. Of course my bestie and I, who were both in college at the time, agreed that we would never grow out of lip gloss. However, her mom simply stated that there will come a time in our life when we decide to move into lip stick, and that it happens to every woman. Both, my bestie and I, laughed at the comment, because we had a deep love for our lip gloss.

That all changed for me six months later when I decided to try a purple lip stick, thanks to Nicki Minaj. I went to the drug store, and one of my favorite brands were having a huge sale. I left the drug store with six new lip sticks ranging in colors. I had the coldest of pink to the purest of burgundy.

I felt awesome.

Then I decided to wear them to school, and work. I was getting compliments from everybody. I felt like I was the essence of a phenomenal woman.

When my bestie and I came back together the next summer, I walked in her house wearing my favorite shade of lip stick. She noticed immediately. I was so mad that her mom was right, but I had to give credit where it was due. She was right. I moved into lip stick, and it was a random day–out the blue. Her mom laughed our entire conversation. (Moms are always right!)

It took a minute for my bestie to move into lipstick, but she’s trying it now. But she’s still a sucker for lip gloss.

When it comes to lip gloss versus lip stick, it’s all about what makes you happy and confident. Lip gloss may make you feel cute, or sexy, or it could be something you’ve become used to, and comfortable with.

Lip stick is long wearing, I think that’s why I love it so much. Sometimes I like to put a light coating of lip gloss over my lipstick, but that’s only for extra va-va-voom!

If you still haven’t tried lip stick, go to the store and pick out at least three different colors. You may not like every shade you choose, but you have to start somewhere.
