OOTD: February 27

It was super warm today so I decided to break out a dress. I did pair it with some leggings because it is still a little chilly. I loved this outfit, it was super comfortable and I got a compliment on it which is always awesome! I only wish I had more time to do something with my crazy hair, but hey, sleep is more important to me (sorry :(..)
The boots were also really comfortable. I was going to pair it with some more grayer ones but i thought these pair nicely. I got these boots on Black Friday and I was super excited, now I just need a few more outfits to pair them with!
please forgive me for the crap quality, I had to pull J away from his xbox to take these and he was in a hurry! 

cardigan- Old Navy sale last winter
Dress- Target
Tank- aeropostale (light pink)
leggings- walmart ( only 5.88 and they're really thick! )
boots- Jcpenny (i think)

I hope you had a great day! 
xoxo, Tayonna

Photography?

So, I recently (today actually!) posted a video on YouTube where I mentioned I am really into Photography and as promised here is a blog post with some of my favorite images. I did add my name to the pictures just because I don't want anyone to take credit for these images and they can end up anywhere. 







This is just a few of hundreds and it was really hard for me to pick these out but I hope you enjoyed them !

Lips Amplified: Impassioned

I am so excited about this post...because I just wrote how i was lusting over this product and now here it is! 
My first Mac lipstick, or product for that matter! I was going to pick a nude color like hue or cream cup but I thought what the heck why not go for something a little bit, well brighter! This is Mac impassioned.
(with flash)
I am so in love with the color, it goes so nice with my skin color and I think i will be getting lots of wear out of this even though it is so bright. I also really love the formula, it's amplified if you couldn't tell by the title. I am really excited to get my hands on some more Mac lipsticks.

NOTD: Valentines Day

Let me first start of with I am in a very, very, happy relationship but I still think Valentines Day is meant just as another reason to get people to spend their money. With the being said i thought i would do my nails to reflect my feelings. 
I choose to do black and then a nice hot pink color on the ring fingers and I love it. I have always been a fan of black nails and within the last year or so everyone has been doing the pop of color and I think it's amazing and really worked for my valentines day feelings.
I don't believe that I have used this color before, and i was a little bit spectacle, if you read my post NOTD: French Pink then you will know why. But, i was really surprised with this color because in my opinion it doesn't look anything like it does in the bottle. It is much brighter and it has really nice blue undertones to it that make it really stand out against the black.
If you can't tell from the pictures the name of this is 'Raspberry Rush'. After seeing it on my nails today i am quite excited to wear it on my toes this summer. 
And just in case you wanted to see the black i used it's called 'Black Out' but really any black would work! :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful Valentines day!
xoxo, Tayonna

My Foundation Routine

When doing my makeup the most important part is making my skin look the absolute best that I can. who cares if my eye makeup is epic if my face looks a mess, right? Right! I highly suggest sitting down in front of your mirror and working out the best foundation routine for you! So i thought i would take some picture to go along with the video.  And because this post is already massively long I will link the video HERE! (& below)

Iconic

I have a new icon! I didn't like that i had different icons for every account i had and i really like this picture so i thought it would be a good change. Since you can't really see the picture anywhere because it is so tiny i thought i would share it on here as well. Let me know what you guys think? I think i am going to change my theme to match it as well so be looking out for a few more updates. :)
I hope you guys are having a wonderful night!
