| Why is it that you can answer a light skinned black girl from Nigeria but not an NW55 (dark skinned) girl in America? | ||

Girl, I’ve got 5,709 messages in my inbox right now. I answer whichever ones I happen to land on at the time. It doesn’t matter what foundation you wear or what country you live in, I don’t have time to get through 50 questions a day. I’m sorry that it works out that way, but there’s no need to be rude about it, dang. I’m doing my best!
| Know of any good dupes for MAC's Embrace Me? :) | ||

MAC Embrace Me (limited edition) - $14 [photo]
I don’t actually have Embrace Me, but it looks very similar in color to:
Wet n Wild MegaLast “Don’t Blink Pink” - $2 (matte)
Covergirl Lip Perfection “Spellbound” - $6 (not matte)
Sorry I couldn’t give you any exacts! I wish that I’d gotten my hands on Embrace Me, I was too focused on trying to get Heroine and I missed out! :(

Hello hon! Wow, that’s amazing… I think one of the best parts of blogging is being able to connect with people in all corners of the world. And thank you so much! <3
Darker skin is complimented by rich colors in makeup, like jewel and berry tones. The more saturated the color is, the better it will accentuate your features and highlight your skin tone. I would avoid most pastel shades, like light pink or light peach, in SOME instances (like powder blush) because these will look too ashy on anyone with a medium to dark skin tone.
For blush, I recommend oranges and deep red-toned shades, as well as purples and plums. I’m not sure what brands are available to you in your country, but here are a few recommendations that you can find in the States as well as online:
MAC “Styleseeker”
NYX “Cinnamon”
Wet n Wild “Berry Shimmer”
MAC “Sweet as Cocoa”
MAC “Magenta”
I would also recommend the same shades for lipcolor! Anything berry toned will be very gorgeous on you. Deep reds will also be stunning, and bronzey or mauve shades will be really pretty for every day. You can venture into lighter shades of pink and peach for the lips, just test out shades to see if you like them better really opaque or more sheer!
Milani Color Statement “Sangria”
Wet n Wild “Stoplight Red”
Covergirl “Spellbound”
MAC “Angel”
I hope this helps you get some ideas for color! One of my beliefs is that you can wear any color you want, as long as you have the confidence to pull it off. Good luck, and thanks for the love!

Here is a list of the ones I am currently or have previously been subscribed (or gotten one month’s subscription) to:
There are several more I want to try! But if I got all of the ones I wanted to try out at once I’d be broke haha.
I starred my current faves based on recent boxes!

Hello! I’ve been subscribed to Ipsy for a while now, and it’s probably my favorite beauty subscription out of all the ones I get. It’s inexpensive and definitely worth the measly $10! I haven’t been disappointed by a box yet. If you really like to try out new products, beauty subscriptions are a great, inexpensive way to expose you to new things. Ipsy as a company is very fresh and youthful, and the products they put in their bags definitely reflect that.
Just to give you an idea, in this month’s May bag, I got a full sized Zoya nail polish, Juice Beauty natural Lip Gloss, a Mirabella lipstick, a Yaby eyeshadow pan, and some St. Tropez Tanning Lotion! Plus the cute bag itself, which is totally practical… but after a few months you start accumulating so many bags you need to start giving them away to your friends.
You also always get special discount codes for the brands that you receive in your bags, which are definitely a score considering you’ll probably fall in love with at least a couple of the items you get. Ipsy.com also lets you write reviews and earn points, which is fun too.
Overall I highly recommend it! :)
