Make Up Wish list

As much as I love makeup I an really suprised that I haven't talked about it that much on my blog I can't take a whole lot of pictures yet because I don't have an SD card on my phone so I can't take any pictures or make any videos yet so that's why I keep getting words right now and when I do take pictures it's from my husbands phone so when I get an SD card I will take pics of my FACE OF THE DAY's which is mainly sundays when I go to church or when I go out with my husband I honestly don't wear make up eveyday cause makeup ages you and I am not going to wake up @ 5 in the morning just to put on make up and sit in front of a computer and I'll also do Outfit of the Days as well I am not a fashion guru actually I am in transition of redoing my warobe and finding some things that I like that'll compliment my shape. So now let's talk about makeup lol....I finally found my foundation which is MAC's Studio Tech in NW45 I love that foundation. One reason is that it has caused an end of the search of a foundation that matches my skin I mean it's a literally dead match and I also realized that my skin is more of a red undertone than yellow lol that's why it was always too light.

Well here's my wishlist lol
with MAC I am still working on my face products cause I feel if that the face isn't right the whole look is just a mess

MAC Mineralized Skin Finish (think I would be in deepest dark idk)
MAC Prep n Prime Traslucent Powder
MAC Blushes in Raisin, Ambering Rose, Shadowy Lady I believe there's a few more than I want but I don't remember them all so I'll be checking the MAC website
MAC's Oil Control Lotion
MAC Fix+

MAC eyeshadows
Texture, Sketch, Woodwinked, Rice Paper, Typographic, Carbon, Coppering, Grain, Arena, Mulled Cider (ebay) Humid, Club, Motif, Brown Script, Orange, Stars and Rockets, Hepcat, Satin Taupe

MAC and other pigments

MAC lipsticks
Fresh Brew, Ciss, Ruby Woo, do want a pink lipstick just something that will compliment my skin tone

MAC Lipgloss
C-Thru, Revealing

Eye Shadow Palettes

Either BH Cosmetics or Sedona Lace

Nyx Cosmetics Eyeshadows and Matte Lipsticks

Sleek Makeup and I do need a decent makeup brush kit...it doesn't have to be MAC. Either Sigma or Crown Brushes

Another thing I need is a makeup case to store it all and a smaller makeupbag to take the makeup I'm gonna wear that day.

I do wanna try MAC StudioFix Fluid again because I heard they launched out more shades I do hope that it's permanent and not limited like the other stuff that comes out lol

I also wanna try Victoria's Secret Make up as well and I do want the Urban Decay Naked palette even though it's $50, I still want it.

And I also wanna try Inglot makeup and I would like to go to an IMATS or a makeup show if they ever have one in Florida.

I do need to take the makeup spree a break because I do need some more clother but I don't wanna go crazy until I lose weight.

I don't think I'll be a makeup artist right now I just wanna build up my personal make up kit.

As you guys can see I love makeup I love everything about it I love the creativity of it and the fact that it doesn't limit to one brand It's so may but MAC is my must have.

My Weightloss Journey

This isn't a clear picture but this is the most recent picture I took which was last week during my church banquet. My husband got this dress from Ross lol I didn't like it at first because it wasn't what I would normally wear but after looking at it I see that it would look great on me and it does and I got a lot of compliments from it. Anywho but this is my most recent picture of my pretty self but my pretty 250lb body Oh God I am trying to figure out what did I do and how did I let myself get this big. Lol crazy enough I am my prettiest at this size but I suffered from being a size 18-20 too....
With being an apple shape all my weight goes to my middle so as you can see and it doesn't feel good at all I now have high blood pressure from my weight gain I am always tired and dizzy and I've been sick and another thing is shopping is a pain in the butt and almost embarrassing...
You can't really see it but this is me in 2003 I was a size 13 and was happy even though I did go through a lot of critism from my family I really wish I would've loved myself more back then so I would have known better. Well that was 8 years ago and so much has happened during that time. Well all I know is that I gained a lot of weight thoughout that time period

me and alajuwon...sorry so dark in My Photos by Keisha Fluker
This is me around the end of 2007 lol regarding to the date on the photo. This was when my husband and I first met I did gain weight since 2003 but I was still in the 100's....ok I inching up to 200 I was 170-180 I don't really remember. Well I know I do need to cut it out. Right now I am not doing anything right now cause I'n in the planning stages. My mom sent me an invitation to do Weight Watchers with her and honestly I'm really excited because I wanna get healthy again and feel better. I mean @ 26 sometimes I feel like I'm 46.
This is me last year I think was married for only 2-3 months. Oh GOD can you see the difference from 2007 to 2010....lol and I was at Denny's. It was after a concert so it was late maybe after 12am and I remembered what I ordered too. A Chicken Ranch melt (just a chicken sandwhich with ranch) and fries and I would always order a side of ranch dressing. And I know the drink alone was bad enough it was a drink that was tooo sugary.
So yeah I know I'm not eating right and exercise lol Yeah right....not reguarly and not vigorously either...I was too cute lol( if my husband was reading this he would tell me that I'm conceited). So Along with my hair journey and my "All Things Beauty" journey lol I will be tracking my weightloss journey. I have been inspired by a few weightloss blogs that I've been reading like "Ro Gets Fit" and a few more and BeautifulBrnBabydol from youtube. I love her channell and I love how passionate she is about life period. She a good speaker just get on a pulpit lol well I don't know she's preacher but she has potential to be if God has the calling on her. So please pray for me as I get myself together for my weightloss journey. I know it ain't gonna be easy just like my hair journey isn't easy but lol once I start I'll keep going...

My weightloss goal is to lose 60 lbs for now to get myself going. My goal isn't to be skinny but to be healthy if I' back to a 13/14 I'll be cool the smallest would be a 12 that's it no smaller. I want my blood pressure to go down and to aviod diabetes even though it doesn't really run in my family not that I know of so please pray for me as I start and the Lord keeps me during this time.

Until Then Be Blessed.....

Hair Update

Just a quick post so I'll stay on track...I FINALLY got a trim thanks to my sister in law Tamika. I think I i'll be going to her to trim my ends. The plan is to trim off all the thin ends so I'll have healthy even hair all around right know I'll just space it out to every 4-6 months on trimming my ends as far as being on a schedule cause I'm still scared of losing lenght.....

Well as of Friday I will be 8 weeks post.....my stretch has been doing great daily moisturizing, shampoo and conditioning

Last saturday I did a protien treatment using Aphogee 2 Step Protien treatment I didn't have the balancing moisturizer so I used the Elasta QP intense Fortifying Conditioner. To me they are both the same....same consistency and smells the same I guess but it did what it needed to do and that was to soften my hair up after a hard protien treatment.

I think I needed it because I was shedding a lot so I felt I needed it.


Well for my protective style, for the past four weeks i've been just doing a ponytail with a clip leaving it up and then styling it for church but I just wanted to do my best to stop messing with it due to the fact that I have new grow and the fact that I trimmed my ends I should have a good relaxer update this time.

My protective style for the next two months hopefully is braids. My sister in law braided my hair and I'm loving it even though my head still hurts a little cause she braids so tight which is cool cause she braids fast and is very neat I love her. It took her two days because I couldn't take off due to me having to fill in for someone. So she crowned it tuesday night and finished the rest yesterday. She always teases me about me having a big head and the fact that I have thick hair but she always compliments my 3c-4a hair, and the fact she doesn't charge me is a cool factor too thanks to my husband. So right now it's in a low ponytail until it stops hurting I don't put too much tension on my hair right now cause it's soo tight right now so I'll give it a few days too loosen up.

So to maintain my braids I'll will learn how to wash and condition them, keep them moisturized and oil my scalp with my castor oil. So caring for my hair is still a must even with braids.

So I'll keep going until I reach APL.

Until then be blessed....
