Prior to Hurricane Irma and Maria, Caribbean Posh magazine is in the process of planning their annual Caribbean POSHgirl POWER Brunch for 2018 and the launching of a FALL Fashion Issue. The passing of these historic hurricanes has forced them to rethink their plans.
Last week my bestie Ilse from Live Learn Luxe It got a chance to get a sneak peek of Entitled Beauty bold liquid lipstick in Arleth that she wore it on her current post 5 Fall Wardrobe Pieces Every Woman Needs.
I am so elated to share with you how amazing Entitled Beauty look on someone else. Cuz on my boogie down brown skin I thought it look GORG and to see it on Ilse butter pecan skin it also look GORG. Arleth is a perfect shade of burgundy. It’s like your lips has been stained by a lovely glass of the darkest red wine out there. It’s so dark that you can’t see through it. It’s a creamy, matte, texture liquid lipstick that is long wearing, every woman really should have in her makeup bag.
See for yourself and read the article 5 Fall Wardrobe Pieces Every Woman Needs.

On Sunday I had such an glamxurious day with my crew Ilse & Johnny. It was all about beauty and fashion and when we get together for a fabulous day together we like to spend it at our favorite hotel, Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury, CT. A few bottles of Mionetto Prosecco and Itz Spritz with a sexy playlist our Sunday was grand.
After a fancy day of taking selfies because that’s what bloggers do we decided to place a room service order but my Libra self was not ready to go up to the room so we ate downstairs by the fireplace. This way we were able to continue with taking fab pics of ourselves. We really luv it here at Hotel Zero Degrees and the staff is always so accommodating to me.
The lights in Hotel Zero Degrees is the best especially in the bathroom. It’s so bright and the space size in their batroom is great, Now this is a bathroom you wouldn’t mind hanging out in.

Being that I’m a makeup artist, beauty editor, beauty influencer, and blogger I’m always looking for great skincare products both for myself due to health issues (lupus, lyme, ra) and for my makeup kit to use on clients. For the last 5 years I noticed more of my clients seems to have fussy skin so I am always looking for quality products.
When I was introduced to First Aid Beauty I instantly fell in love with their skincare products. Their products gave me instant relief & results each time I used it. How FAB is it to have great skin everyday.

With so many makeup brands out there, what’s the big deal about music artist Rihanna new makeup line Fenty Beauty. Fenty Beauty launched with 40 shades from very pale to very dark with their ultimate PHOTO FILT’R foundations. It’s one of their most talked about items. Usually makeup brands start off with lighter shades of foundation then every few years they add on darker shades. Well, Fenty Beauty has shouted from the mountain top that they are here for ALL WOMEN of all shades.
Finally a makeup company that embraced all skin tones. Rhianna’s makeup is for all ages, all races, and for all sexes. Many people don’t seem to understand why it’s a big deal that every woman can now have a foundation that matches their skin tone perfectly. As I always say wearing the perfect foundation is like wearing the perfect bra.
Like many makeup lovers, we at Makeup and Martini’scould not wait to get our hands on a few items from Fenty Beauty. Guess what! We did. So, we did a video of us playing with the makeup. During the video I tested the products on both Johnny and myself.

I’m so excited about my glamxurious weekend with Covergirl cosmetics at IPSY Generation Beauty in New York. The first day I was asked to do a few speaking segments with Covergirl beauty influencers who was invited to come through. I enjoyed it because the more experience I get speaking on live camera the better I get at speaking, right?
On Sunday I bullied Johnny to attend so we could get content for our Makeup & Martini’s video blog on Youtube. I was given a pass so we could come in early to film and take pics before the door open. We had so much fun skipping through the Jacob K. Javits Center. The busiest day was on Saturday because our invited guest was Mario Dedivanovic. I was able to get pics & video for you all. Like Beauty Con I was there to help consumers find their correct foundation shade with their newest foundation, Vitalist Healthy Elixir. I hope I got you all some fun stuff of my 2 day glam weekend with Covergirl. Bonnie did such a great job as usual with the booth, executing the event with her team. I’m always so grateful that she ask me to be the makeup artist for such a great event.
Had a great time doing this segment with Love Melisa Michelle because she’s someone that I actually follow on Instagram.
He’s here!!!! Celebrity Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic has made it to the Covergirl booth. I tried to get a video of his arrival so that you can feel like you were there. As you see James was all in the way.
Another fun segment was with the gorgeous Fashion, Beauty, Lifestyle Vlogger Belinda Selene.
Getting some fun content for Makeup & Martini’s…Thanks Johnny for waking up at 5am
Johnny shared with me that IPSY GenBeauty used my video on their social media page…now that’s Cool!
Went to see my godfather Alex with Absolute New York but of course he wasn’t there. He’s somewhere jet-setting building an empire. So I didn’t get to see him #sad
