LET'S HAVE A DEBATE

I was doing some online shopping and my sweet aunt (well, she's not that sweet) sends me an IM, "What are you doing?" I tell her, "You know I'm shopping" I had my eye on a purple Luis Vuitton bag (by the way it was 60% off I'm not a baller...yet). "No honey purple doesn't look good on black people," she said to me. You know what I said to her now tell me what you would say, do you agree? If so why, if not why? Oh, and girls with the luscious lips please send me those pics of you showing of your pinks and reds!!!

WILL YOU EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS??

LISTEN FOLKS PLAY TIME IS OVER! I was sitting in front of the computer looking at colors and cosmetics when I got an IM from an old buddy from the great state of Michigan. We talked about our lives and she asked me, "Did you start a business yet?" Of course not in this economy? Besides I have ventured into so many different projects I fell weary and lossed my focus, pretty much giving up and getting a "real job" My friend has a buzzworthy business in the cosmetic industry doing what she loves working for no one. She began to make me believe in my dreams again but having a vision isn't enough, so I thought. The truth is that a vision is all you need.

HMMMMM...FOR A BLACK GIRL

Well, you know your girl Ms. Kiss My Lips has nothing but time on her hands these days the only thing I have time for is fashion? I was walking in the mall today with my son and I caught a picture of an African American girl posing for one of the major clothing companies. I was looking at her jewelry, I wanted to go inside the store. I stepped inside and began to browse. A man approached me while I was browsing, young handsome man, he said he was Italian with blue eyes. "Excuse me, I don't usually come to women in the mall but I gotta tell you, you're real pretty for a black girl." HMMM.....for a black girl? I looked at him not with anger nor with hate but I played the echo. " A black girl?" I asked. He stood there quietly and he began to turn blush red. "No, I mean you're a pretty girl," he said obviously feeling embarassed. I was curious why wasn't I just a pretty girl in the beginning?

Black Girls and RED Lipstick

I was in one of my fav cosmetic stores (Sephora), and I couldn't help but over hear two young African American women talking. One was a deep chocolate with a red undertone and the other was a caramel chocolate with a yellow undertone (yes I noticed I am a make up fiend I have to look at everyone's undertone!) Any who, Ms. Dark Chocolate said to her friend "I can only wear dark purple or a little gold. People are going to laugh if I walk around with red lips and my dark skin." Me being Ms. Kiss My Lips, I had to intervene! Reds and pinks enhance the tone of dark skin you have to find the right red! Don't think you can wear the same shade Becky with fair skin can wear, just find a nice deep red for you. My interventions were succesful I hope she sends me a pic! Tip: the deeper your tone the deeper the red! Don"t be afraid to try corals and please do pink!!
