White Hot at the Golden Globes 2015

From the parade of starlets on the red carpet at this years Golden Globes, white was the color to be seen in. Through the rain, the appearance of white gowns was more than angelic. The wave of white dresses gave those who donned this color an anti-aging appearance; which was modern, fresh, and feminine. It was like being introduced to the color for the first time. Just about all the starlets who stepped out in white gowns spun your mind into a day on a resort, I'm picturing the Mediterranean. For those who created an effortless, cottony,
sleekness; cast a glance at pics below.

Halloween 2014 - Great Pumpkins?!

It has been awhile since I posted anything.
My pc broke and so now I am a proud owner of a MacBook Pro ®!
Life has gotten in the way and isn't that what it is supposed to do?

I've went through the loss of my father a few months ago and I move in and out of the
grieving phases.
Hence, my postings have waned; becoming few and far between.
I have written on receipts, notebook, on the back of and envelope or two;
especially if it's junk mail!
So my creatives juices still flow through my veins.
But I just couldn't get my fingers to dance across
the keyboard of my Mac.
I can conceptualize, configure, and create. I just had to dig deep and pull myself off the block.

So here I sit sit on Halloween and recall the past posts of Halloween I published,
and drummed up the courage to create a post.



Here are some beauty fall beauty finds to match the flavor of the season- the Great Pumpkin.
Happy Halloween! : )

Buttaflybytes Budget Beauty Bin- March 2014

Here are some budget beauty items to add to your beauty list.

First on my list of items is a cleanser. L'Oreal Ideal Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser is for all skin types. My skin is oily but it is sensitive, so I thought I'd give this a shot to check is effectiveness on my skin. I must say it is not drying and it doesn't strip my skin. It removes my makeup and provides the right amount of clean! a dime size dollop will do you and costs under $7 at Walmart or Target.

My next selection is the Maybelline Fit Liquid Foundation. I chose this because who can afford to spend over $20 for foundation all the time?  Luckily, I managed to get this one on sale for just under $5. This foundation gives ample coverage without feeling cakey. I do have a few imperfections on my skin so it does manage to give me good coverage minus using a concealer. The color matches my skin perfectly and Maybelline has extensive range of colors from cream to coffee. Maybelline Fit Foundation is not heavy on the skin,  I just use a small dime size amount on a sponge to to distribute across my skin. My only complaint is that it does  smudge, so be careful when you're wearing a white shirt.

Otherwise it gives me good bang for my buck and I am pleasantly pleased with this foundation and would purchase again whether on sale or not.

I found a great budget answer to the BadGal Eyeliner by Benefit which is the Loreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner. This eyeliner gives you great depth of color and dramatic effect a day look and for a  smokey eye look. It can be found at most drug stores for about $8 and perhaps cheaper if you use coupons! ; )

Lastly, a find from a dollar store is LA Colors eyeshadow in Audacious~CP121. For just a dollar I got six power packed lasting colorssuch as sheer metallic bronze, sky blue and a smokey purple to name a few. If you like L'Oreal Hip or  MAC eyeshadows, you will love this compact if you a fortunate to find it.

AllI can say is wow for this super bargain!

To cap off the award season, the celebs cometh with their fashion finest to the Oscars® 2014.

Back to the subject at hand, flash forward the red carpet parade.

Charlize Theron is classic

Kate Hudson is mesmerizing

Lupita Nyong'o is a princess

Portia DeRossi is gracefully cool

I would also like to mention there were two great speeches at last nights Oscars® 
one by Lupita Nyong'o and the other by Matthew McConaughey.  Their acceptance speeches were just powerful and poignant.
