Drawing from the Heart


    A year ago, in an art class, I met my friend Tammy. We immediately bonded as we laughed at each others corny jokes, and took tons of coffee breaks during our early 8am class... That lasted 3 hours!!! Our professor even enjoyed our company because we always had something to say; we were rarely the quite ones in class. When spring semester ended, Tammy and I still kept in touch. After more meetups, we soon realized we had so much more in common than we already thought. When people meet us they will often think we're sisters. She is not only an amazing friend, but also an extraordinary artist. Her designs are inspired by the art of Hena drawings. I absolutely love her work, and am sure so many others will as well! I'm also very proud of her as she reached recently reached 1,000 followers on Instagram (@paisleycraze). Y'all should definitely follow! Here are some of her pieces that I truly love:

MAC Maniac


    
The only place you catch me on a Friday night is, yes, the mall! My plan was to go in just to get a couple of items off my shopping list for my closet. A few minutes into my shopping trip, I saw a store I just could not pass up!!!. As I walked out of Bloomingdale's, I saw one of my favorite places ever... The MAC store. As I saw my reflection upon the outer glass, I knew I belonged inside immediately. I know, I know, this girl is obsessed with MAC, but I'd buy the whole store if I could afford it. Ever since I bought my very first MAC lipstick, "Love Lorn," I fell madly in love with all the other lipsticks they carried. 


So, I devised a plan to build my collection by purchasing one lipstick per month. It was about that time, and I wanted to pick a shade of lipstick that was suitable for the hot summer season coming up. After a little help from the amazing make up artist on duty (Sahyd), I found what I was looking for: "Viva Glam" by Nicki. 


When I first sampled this lipstick, I fell in love with the hot-pink tones, with just a hint of coral. This shade instantly made my eyes pop along with my cheeks due to the contrast. I can't wait to get my summer tan to try on and see how this wonderful lipstick stands out against a darker complexion!
