31 Day Lippie Challenge Days 8 through 14

Here are pics of Days 8 through 14!!

Day 8: December 8, 2013- Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Shameless

I've read other bloggers talking about this color and heard this appeared to be a dupe for Mac Heroine! I don't know but if it is, this matte balm is way more affordable, which is right up my alley!

Day 9: December 9, 2013- Cover Girl blastflipstick in 855 Minx

I love the two tone colors and the gold makes me shiver!

Day 10: December 10, 2013- Buxom Lip Tarnish in Caught on Tape

This is very glossy and the pink is of my taste! It also has a minty smell and tingles slightly when applied!

Day 11: December 11, 2013- OCC Lip Tar in Momento

This is not exactly my color but I liked it! My secret, I added a little LipGlass to it to make it shine! 

Day 12: December 12, 2013- Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Perversion!

Dark and Glittery! Just the way I like it! Can you say, vampy! Yes!!

Day 13: December 13, 2013- From the MAC Marilyn Collection Deeply Adored!

This was and is my favorite red lipstick! It's matte but it's not too bright! It goes on smooth! I love, love, love this lipstick!

Day 14: December 14, 2013- MAC Rebel

This was my first MAC purchase ever and my husband helped me pick it out! I love this color! It's not too matte! It's not too glossy! It's a good mix of in between! Very smooth and soft!

There you have it! Week two has come to an end! What will week three bring?!?!

Thanks for reading!

Monthly Subscription Service: Volupties

So, one of my favorite bloggers, Chastity Garner of Garner Style, posted on her Facebook page this monthly subscription service for "the unmentionables!" That's right! Underwear!!! Have you all heard of Volupties?????? Because she is one of my favorite plus sized style icons, I had to check it out!

I found this to be a really neat service, especially for me because I do not always have the time to spoil myself with underwear! Plus, I get bored with the same ole, same ole selections! Haha! This service caters to voluptuous women with booties and curves for days! I was lucky enough to snag my first order for $10! The normal monthly price is $17 for three pairs of underwear! The best part, it's a surprise as to what you are going to get every month! No opportunity for a sneak peek!!! So here is what I got this month!!

I really don't care for the white pair and I really love the fun polka dot pair. But, my absolute favorite is the beige with the lace bottoms! Super cute!!! When you get a chance, go check out Volupties! It's a premium monthly subscription for undies!!

Later my loves!!!

My 31 day Lippie Challange!

So I have created a challenge for myself! I have so many lipsticks, stains, balms, and glosses, so I thought, why not challenge myself to wearing one Lippie a day! Easier said than done! Rather than create a post every single day, I will do weekly installments except for today, of course! So here is to Day 1 of a 31 day challenge!

Lippie of the day: Revlon ColorBurst in Sultry with a hint if BH Cosmetics lipgloss in Peace, Love, & Mod!

Warm regards,

Johannah 

Change is hard but it can be good!

Hi everyone! Fall is a time of change! You know, like changing seasons! Changing climates! Changing wardrobes! I think you get what I mean! So during this time of transition, Unique Fash'N'Spirations has changed it's name to ForTheLuvOfCurves! The purpose of this change is that I have redefined my mission and goals in life. I still value a unique fashion inspiration or two, but I am geared to wanting to share multiple journeys of my life with readers while continuing to love my curves!

You only live once and I refuse to allow society to continue to devalue plus size women. Don't get me wrong, I have seen quite a few positive changes in wardrobe styling and clothing availability! That makes me happy!

Another pleasure of mine is makeup! I love it! I have a lot of it! And, I need to wear more of it! Beginning in December, I am going to challenge myself to wearing the different lippies I own! I shall title this challenge the "31 Days of Lippies!" This should be fun. 

Next is my natural hair journey! I have been natural for a year now and I  loving it! I will also try to include some of my own fashion style in my chronicle of my life. Fashion trends do not define me!

Lastly, I am going to be changing my eating and exercise habits! This will be a true challenge because my goal is to keep my curves while becoming more healthy and physically fit.

 This is quite a huge challenge given the next two holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas! We over do it with the cooking in my house.  One of my favorite songs by The Winans Family says, "it's been a long time coming, but a change is gonna come! Waiting through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun?" Eventually I will see this change because as the song goes on it comes to say, "It's been a long time comin', But a change is gonna come. I've waited till the morning,

Now I finally see the sun! The message in this simple song, Is to keep on holdin'  Holdin' on, holdin' on! Till you see the sun! You gotta keep on holdin'

So to all of the curvy, fashion savvy, makeup loving, individual trendsetters out there, have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! I am looking forward to sharing my own personal journey!!'

Sincerely,

Johannah

The purple dress is from ASOS, the jean jacket is American Rag, I forget where the floral tank is from, and the pink top with navy spots is from the Loft. Super excited about these items and I spent less thank $40 for all of the items total! You get to follow the style closets of some of the sellers, and heck, they may follow you back. When you get a chance, check it out with the link below! Let me know what you think!

Inglot- Blush 47

Loving my Inglot purchase

 

Hey lovelies, it's been a while since my last post! Over three months to be exact! Oh how I miss posting! I am going to try my best to post at least once a month! Today's review is of Inglot Blush 47. I don't have the entire Freedom System.

 

Let me just say, I LOVE this color! I am trying to transition into more orange/coral colors for the spring/summer. This color was an excellent addition to my blush collection, which has only grown to about five or six total blushes, but it is now my newest obsession!

Pros:

1. Great color

2. Excellent consistency

3. Easy to use

4. Easy to apply

Cons:

N/A in my book. Like I said, I LOVE this blush! I am already dreaming of my perfect palette creation.

While I live in Bakersfield, California, there is not an Inglot near by... Plus, with two kids (both girls) I can't afford to jet set to a location where an Inglot exists? For those of you lovelies who would love to know where I made my purchase (brace yourselves cause this will be good), I ordered it from Beautylish! A wonderful one stop shop for tutorials, videos, discussions, editorials, and shopping. Yes, you read this correctly, shopping. They also have an app for the iPhone so it's easy and convenient! Check them out! Really quick shipping too! I ordered on Thursday, April 25, 2013 and had the product by Saturday, April 27, 2013 around early afternoon. Plus, they make you feel special by sending you a card personally written to you, handwritten, not type written! Beautylish! I love it!

Here is my FOTD:

 

Face:

Sleek Makeup Creme to Powder Foundation in Hot Chocolate (www.sleekmakeup.com)\

Blush: Inglot Blush 47 (www.beautylish.com or the Beautylish App)

 

Lips:

Cover Girl blastflipstick blendable lip duo in #815 Flashy

 

Eyes:

In the highlight (brow bone), Stand-offish from theBalm's NUDE'tude palette

On the lid and crease, Seductive from theBalm's NUDE'tude palette

In the crease/contour, Sophisticated from theBalm's NUDE'tude palette

On the outer V, Serious from theBalm's NUDE'tude palette

In the inner corner/the tear duct, Benefit Watt's Up Soft focus highlighter

On the upper lash line, eyeko Skinny liquid eyeliner in Black (still working on that cat eye)

On the lower lash line, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil in zero

Also on the lower lash line, e.l.f. shimmer eyeliner pencil in white

For the eyelashes, Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara in black (love this stuff and need more of it)

 

For those who have been watching my natural hair, it has definitely grown since October 2012. I am very happy with the growth. I have added a few different colors to get to the exact color I want but still not there. I am still happy in this journey and can't wait to see where I am in a few more months!

 

Until next time lovelies! Have a great weekend!
