Urban Decay Vice 3 Review

 What can I say about this palette? Lol a whole lot! Diva's I absolutely love this palette. Let's just talk about the packaging. This beautiful hard case is so pretty. The Vice is raised on the case almost like a jewel color. When you open the inside you have a large mirror and then you are treated to all of these amazing colors. This palette offers many shades that can inspire many looks especially for this fall season. There are 20 colors in this palette so there isn't a lack of variety. 

Not only do you get all of these colors but the palette includes a dual ended brush for your use. One side to blend and the other side to pat on eyeshadow on your lid. I have to be honest I wasn't crazy about brush in my electric palette but I kind of like this one. I am going to use it a little more as I use this palette.

When you purchase this palette it comes in a makeup bag that you can either keep it in or use for your makeup. This definitely was not a cheap palette. It retails for $60 which is not really bad. If you honestly think about it if you purchased all of these shades it works out to $3 a shadow. So whether you spread it out or do it all at once guess what you spent $60 for all these colors. Now it may not be worth it you or you may say I can find dupes for these colors in a cheaper brand or palette but for $3 a shade I don't know if you could find individually and as good a quality. If I find it though I will bring it to you Divas.

For my over all review of this palette I give this one🌟🌟🌟🌟. I love the payoff interms of colors. There was a variety of colors and the brush in this palette I liked better. It is a little pricey yes. I could have bout a new pair of shoe and a bag or just a new bag for that price, but look at the breakdown of it. If you bout them individually it would be $3 a shadow. It's an investment in your self. It is a great quality for a non MUA.  It is one of my new faves. 

Anyway my Diva Junkies hope this inspires you. Check out the video link will be down below. Didn't share the pic of look I did because it didn't look all that great in my opinion but you can check me out on IG: DivasHouseoffab for all my looks and then some. Yall stay fab you know your girl always is.

My Look, My Review: Tyler Perry "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned"

So I am behind with my blogs and had to bring you this review. I got a chance to see a play while I was here and I am so glad I got the opportunity to see "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned" by Tyler Perry.

The play was hilarious and of course with everyone of Tyler Perry's plays there is a message. I know some people who needed to see this one. It starred none other than Love Thy Neighbors character Hattie Mae and boy was she not only hilarious as always she was on point with delievering the message. Also in the show like many others of his plays was Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley. She played the woman who was scorned. She wanted love but in Gods time. When she thought it was her prayers answered it turned out to be for lack of better terms " a wolf in sheep clothing" 

I give this play a "Amen" and "Hallelu" in my Tamar Braxton voice. I am so glad that I got the opportunity to see it. It's been years since I had to chance to see a live play. The music was great and the message came across loud and clear. I am telling you if you are fan of Tyler Perry and his work see it when it comes to a city near you.

 Now for this look I rocked to the show. You know I had to do a full face beat. I was going to the city and could do nothing less. I am getting better with my technique I think so I have learned to start out with my eyes first and I got to say that is the way to go. 

For my eyebrows I used a pencil from NYC cosmetics in dark brown to fill in my already arched brows. Then I followed up with MAC nc42 concealer. It works well to for my highlight. Now I will be honest I took so long to write this blog that I forgot what colors I used from my naked 3 palette but I will say in my transition area I went in with a brown shade and tried to keep my look neutral but sassy. For a liner I used ELF cosmetics liquid liner in black and my lashes are done with Younique 3d lashes

I prime my face with Smashbox photo finish primer and then use MAC nw45 studio finish foundation (I believe that is what it is called. Not looking at the bottle right now). To highlight under my eyes, t-zone, cuspids bow and chin I use my LA girl pro hd concealer and blend that in. For my cheeks I took one the rosey colors from my BhCosmetics glamorous blush palette.

Finally for my lips I used Mac's nightmoth to line my lips then used the new Rhianna viva glam 2 lipstick. I love it and it looked great for fall evening out.

This was definitely a great look for me and I had a great time doing it and a great evening out with my mom and her friend. Hope you guys take my advice and go see the play. In the mean time stay fabulous.

Cooking With Diva

Welcoming to cooking with Diva.

This is the first time I am posting one of my recipes on my blog because I have been asked before how to make it. So let me tell you how to make my favorite breakfast dish.....Spinach and Bacon quiche.

What you will need for this:

1 pack of frozen spinach

1/2 of a red and green pepper

1/2 a yellow onion

1/2 a cup of American cheese yellow or white

4 large eggs

6 slices of thick cut bacon

Pie crust (already made or make your own)

1/2 a tablespoon of parsley 

Salt & pepper of seasoning salt to taste

Allow your frozen spinach to defrost the night before or defrost in microwave. Strain out all the water and set aside. Chop up your onion peppers and set aside. 

On a slotted backing sheet or a foil lines baking sheet pop your bacon in the oven at 375 and bake until crisp. Once done place on plate lined with paper towel and allow the rest of the access grease to drain.

In a pan sauté onions and peppers together in a litte bit of oil. Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook the veggies until slightly tender and then add your drained spinach. Season to taste with either your s&p or seasoning salt.

Place your pie crust in pie dish( I like to use a glass one). Bake in oven at 350 but not until golden brown. You basically just want to blind bake your crust. Make sure to take a fork and make little holes all over bottom so that it does not bubble up when baking. Make sure to check it so that it does not get to brown then pull out the oven to allow to cool for a bit.

Once your bacon has drained, chop and then add to veggies. Place in pie shell and spread it evenly on the bottom. 

Take your four large eggs and season them. Add parse,y and beat the eggs. You can add a bit of milk just to make it a little fluffy if you like.

Pour your egg mixture over the spinach mixture. Don't worry it will spread thru your spinach mixture. Take your half a cup of cheese, I chose to use white cheddar cheese and spread over the top of filling. You can also take half of the cheese and mix in mixture and then use the rest to top. I have done it both ways.

Bake in oven at 350 or 375 until egg is fully cooked and cheese has melted. Make sure you check it you don't want crust to get to brown that it taste burnt. In the end you will have this final product. Let cool and then you can refrigerator for the next morning or slice right then. I feel like the flavors have time to really set in and it taste great the next day. Slice and heat up, have it with either a cup of coffee or tea and you have the most filing breakfast.

This usually last me the whole week or if shared with my brother when I am home lol maybe till Wednesday depending on when I make it. Otherwise it is filing and has not only your protein but veggies. I hope you give it a try and stay fab!

Face Cleansing Faves and Duds

'So I have been trying some different face cleansing products since I have been here(home in New York) because my stuff is packed up and in storage. I don't wear makeup everyday so I am not a wash, exfoliate and moisturize daily girl. Since I have been here thought I am making a better effort even though I am still not wearing makeup everyday. So let's take a look at the products I have been using.

From left to right we have Garnier clean plus, Freeman's polishing mask, MAC eyeshadow and lipstick remover. Bottom: Simple exfoliating wipes and ELF makeup remover wipes.

 These two were a definite fave for me. I will repurchase these again. To start the Garnier clean plus does what it says it will do which for me took care of the shine especially in my t-zone and mattifies my face. I use this one before I do all the stages of doing my makeup. I would suggest a moisturizer after using this whether you wear makeup or not it can leave your face a little dry looking and you don't want ashy face peeping through your makeup.

The Freeman's face polish I use more in the evening while in the shower of just after removing my makeup. This leaves my face nice and smooth. I am not going to lie I do not use everyday because you don't want to over exfoliate your skin. I am so bad with keeping to a regimen. I would recommend this if you are looking for a scrub for your face though. This one feels great.

Now this right here!.....from the moment I tried it I loved this product from MAC lol but what don't I love from MAC. This does the job now for some this might seam pricey $21 for a remover that removes eyeshadow and lipstick might seem like a lot. I still trying to find great two in ones that are cheaper(well I have but I have to order). This does the job for me especially with those matte lipsticks. It doesn't take much either. I love this stuff and needless to say will buy again.

Okay you are probably saying you had a lot of faves wher are the ones you didn't like. Well I had a love hate with these. Let's start with the simple exfoliating wipes. I didn't like how theses felt on my face at all. It felt like I was rubbing moist sand paper on my face. It was just to rough for me. So yeah this isn't one I will be re-buying.

The Elf wipe were okay. They seemed tear easily. That was my one major complaint with these. For $3.00 you don't get a lot of wipes and it takes maybe 3 to fully get everything off your face. I would only buy again as a quick solution otherwise these are not my favorites.

Try for yourself and let me know what you think of these products. In the mean time stay fab Divas. Till next time.
