The IBS show was an unforgettable event !!!

The international beauty show is running from April 22-24 in New York and is a great place for the professional and novice alike.

The show was filled with demonstrations on models and passersby, also just about every celebrity hair stylist and makeup artist was in the building.

It's an amazing way to spend the day and save on your favorite hair products and equipment.

Ask your hairstylist if you and a couple of friends can join him/her , it will be a day you won't forget.

Celebrity photographer Keston Duke and myself

4x Emmy award winning make-up artist for The View and Co-creator of KD Kuffs, Karen Dupiche  and I.

This hair trend is here to stay!!! Just do it right.

A sleek high bun is sexy and looks effortless that's why celebrities and fashionistas alike have been rocking this style since the start of this year. If done right it makes your eyes and skin pop and hoops or studs can be worn depending on the outfit.

This style is straight from the red carpet it was featured in Alice+Olivia's Spring 2012 collection and it's one of Kim K's favorite styles.


She wears it here with natural makeup and dramatic eyelashes and it looks just perfect.


Now, Ciara once again disappoints me and I can't imagine she hired someone to execute this hairstyle. She does not even get an E for effort. This look is meant to appear as natural and sleek as possible so attaching wrong colored weave and worn crooked at that is not gonna cut it.


If you want this look but your hair isn't long enough check out your local beauty supply store they have faux buns you can pin to your ponytail and it guarantees a classic neat look.

Try it and enjoy my beauties!!!

Seductive blues and sparkly nudes make this eye pop day or night.

Enjoy my beauties !!!

Let's get crackin'!!!

They finally blessed New York and gave us a Joe's crab shack! No more crossing the bridge to New Jersey to get some of this delicious goodness.

The food is always fresh and satisfying and since seafood is one of my favorite things to eat I was in love.

The atmosphere was great due to the happy staff and inviting host and don't forget the dancing and singing they all do on any given song; this place rocks!!!

I ordered The KJ steampot which consist of...

Snow Crab, seared scallops and mussels in a light Kendall Jackson wine sauce with hints of garlic, pepper and notes of citrus.

And let me tell you it was magically delicious served with sweet corn on the cob and red potatoes I devoured every last bit.

The drinks are served in glass jars that are yours to keep and the drinks are far from weak. The price may run you a little more than Red Lobster but it is totally worth it.

So get dressed grab a friend or two and get crackin' you will not regret it.

The Kardashians clothing line for Sears!!!

These are some trendy and stylish women I hoped their clothing line would emulate that but it surely disappoints.

Everything looks generic and doesn't seem form fitting which is definitely contrary to their overall look. Even in the display ad at Sears the girls look. Fab! But quickly glance at their hats and accessories and I feel Martha Stewart for Kmart.

As summer begins to rise I hope these ladies can boost up the color scheme and clothes quality as of right now I will pass.

Soft smokey eye!!!

This look is one of my favorites because it is perfect for nearly all occasions. It perfectly transitions from day to night and can be worn with pretty any neutral shade of lipstick.

I used...

Pink freeze, plumage and vex from MAC for eyeshadow

Lips I am wearing one of my all time favorite shades viva glam gaga

And blush I'm rocking blunt also from MAC


And p.s Earrings were made handmade by yours truly xoxo my beauties

Lamborghini Mercy

I attended the auto show for the first time this year and it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. The cars and the crowd were okay but I believe they could have done better.

Maybe have a few more celebrities in attendance and just have better cars overall. Most of the cars that I wanted to see were only available Europe, which I should have known seeing as they make way more cars than the US.

In my opinion the Lamborghini stole the show. They had a few other hot and sexy cars but they all to my disappointment ended being concept cars. Therefore, I wouldn't see them on the road for about another three years and thats if they even make it into production.

Hopefully they step their game up next year, but this was my first and last year.

Check out the Lamborghini it truly is a beautiful luxury vehicle.

OOTN POLKA DOT TUBE TOP

Girls just wanna have fun!

I had a great night out. I matched my tan and brown tube top with a brown mini skirt and leopard tights.

I swept my braids to the side added some hoops and simple winged black liner , so I was good to go.

BAD GIRL RIRI KILLS IT WITH A TRENCHCOAT

Rihanna is a force not to be reckoned with, her style is unmatchable.

Out to have dinner in Sydney, Australia she rocked a silky trench coat and not much else. Her makeup was reminiscent of an old Hollywood siren.

Sexy red lips paired with elegant red heels, Rihanna proved that "fashion you can buy but style your born with"

PINK EYEBROWS??!!? WHY NOT!...

Pink and gold are my favorite colors. My room is adorned with pink accessories of all magnitudes. Gold trinkets surround my desk and walls and it's never enough. Therefore, one day I decided to try some colorful brows and pink was of course my first choice.

I used fuchsia pigment from MAC along with girl boy brow set. I got so many compliments and I hope it becomes a trend. Pink, blue, green whatever your heart desires this look will definitely brighten your day.

Come on live a little.

Let me know how it turns out my beauties...

OOTD DISTRESSED JEANS!!!

I love distressed jeans but I feel silly buying them sometimes I mean they are pretty trashed lol so I took sometime and made my own. Bleach, rubber bands, and a sharp blade was all I needed I love how they came out and I'm itching for summer so I can make some shorts as well. Enjoy my beauties...
