Purple Madness MOTD

Makeup

I had been wanting to create a makeup with a purple lip FOREVER but I had yet to find the right shade; or maybe the right shade hadn't found me.

 ;)

I came across "Purple Madness" by Black Radiance during my early Spring 2017 Beauty Haul & felt both empowered and intrigued by the hue and composition; not to mention it was the very last tube left!

*fate*

This color is not intimidating at all, it brought out and complimented my skin tone. It didn't project harsh, something I was weary of as a woman of color. It goes on smoothly and easily manageable. 

This was the perfect introduction into me experimenting with bolder colors!   

And then...

Hair

In the wake of Spring, I decided that it was time for me to refresh and polish my skills with protective styles for my natural hair. 

I have been au natural for about 3 years now & I've learned to respect and invest in the high maintenance it takes to keep it manageable and in my perfectionist perception--acceptable. 

Crocheting weave (in this case BIG Brazilian Style) into my braided hair has proven to be my trusted Go-To protective style.

"My #CurrentSituation with my hair is attributed to Dominican-Style Crochet weave and my protective style braiding. I do my own hair & I've spent years trying to not just perfect my technique of braiding but patterned braiding. The struggle has been so real !!!!  BUT through perseverance I can proudly say--I kicked ass this time! "

#TBH- I am very proud of this look because not only did I overcome an insecurity and accomplishing the goal(s) I had involuntarily set out for--improving my braiding, mastering lashes & most importantly, humbly showcasing my evolution and growth.
