So i was home, bored! Here's what i do when am bored. By bored i mean when i am tired of facebook, youtube, twitter etc. Play with my makeup! Anyways practice makes me perfect right? I also had my fro out after undoing my weave. Wow! So amazed at having a fro now at 5 months post BC! Way to go!

Anyways listed below are the items i used, mostly MUA products. Seems this is the 2nd pink FOTD i am posting here, dunno maybe its because i don't often wear pink so when it comes to experimenting i reach for it! Oh well here is the previous pictorial i did using pink.

Over the past queen's jubilee weekend, MUA, MakeUp Academy, a drugstore brand in the UK, had some discounts on their new lipstick line Lip Boom. This line is as a result of a collaboration between the feisty musician Alexandra Burke and MUA. I had been meaning to get hold of some some of the lippies as they are Gorg-E-Ous! So when i chanced upon the 2 for £4 offer, i couldn't resist but grab it.

So i ordered the 2 shades i had eyed from the launch which was LMK (Let Me Know) and It's A Situation. Both lippies are double end tubes with a super glittery highlighting gloss at one end and a matte lipstick at the other end. The lippies are quite moisturizing and wear well on the lips. Did i say how amazing it smells? Sort of chocolate and vanilla, hmmmm! I was looking to get more vampy lippies when MUA released the Lip Booms so it was definitely a hit for me. Both shades are dark colours and i believe would suit any skin tone. I am eyeing two other shades OK.COM, a nude beige, and Cheeky, a nude pink.
