It’s the holiday season, which means I’ll be making lots of memories and taking lots of pictures. Here’s two foundation tips that help me get my makeup photo-ready 📸:

💚 Wearing a foundation that is a shade darker than my skin helps prevent flashback. Especially because I use lighter concealers for a highlighted look.

💚 Mixing a matte foundation (like my fave NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation in Marquises) with a satin finish foundation (Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Foundation in D29) helps great a glowy long-lasting finish 🙌🏾😍.

I love how festive this green plaid blazer is! I added burgundy cuffs from Amazon to elevate this holiday outfit 🎄❤️✨

#LTKParties #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50

For Day 10 of my 12 Days of Christmas Outfits, I’m styling this red velvet santa dress from SHEIN 🎅🏾🎄✨ This would be such a cute holiday party outfit.

I’m wearing the dress in a size 4, it’s stretchy, true to size, and it comes in a bunch of different colors.

This is such a cute holiday dress for Christmas✨

To complete my holiday outfit, I wore my white bow heels from Amazon, and my cream YSL clutch.

#LTKWatchNow

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

I got a kit on Amazon, so I could convert my YSL monogram clutch into a wallet on chain✨

The conversion kit ($40) comes with a gold chain, and felt purse insert / organizer.

You can literally buy two of the monogram clutches, for less than one of the wallets on chains. So this is a great hack if you want the luxury look and feel, add a more affordable price point.

#LTKitbag #LTKunder50

I wore this tan cutout fringe sleeve fashion nova dress (linked on my blog) on a girls night out, and it’d also be a great holiday dress!

I styled it with my cream YSL clutch that I converted into a crossbody bag, and gold accessories. To style it as a holiday outfit, I would probably add more rhinestone rings.

Went to the Burna Boy concert in boston, and I loved my denim concert outfit 💎✨

The rhinestone and denim corset could easily be styled as a holiday outfit for new year’s too 👀

I wore fleece lined leggings with this outfit (winter outfits must have!) to keep me nice and warm, because chile who gon’ be cold trying to be cute? Not me! 😂

#LTKootd

Getting ready for the Burna Boy concert in Boston 🎶 even with all my jamming, I still managed to be ready on time with a beat face and glowing skin 🙌🏾😂.

I really liked my denim concert outfit. The plaid details on the skirt made it feel edgy while the denim rhinestone corset top was super sexy.

#AD Second lobe piercing vlog with my friends at Rowan 💎✨ I wanted a little extra sparkle to go with my holiday outfits, and they hooked me up with a second lobe piercing and some new jewelry too.

#LTKHoliday #LTKdayinmylife

We love a good heatless curls takedown over here 😍 Here’s how I maintain my V part wig overnight. Using flexi rods makes getting ready in the morning so much easier.

I just rolled my hair using five flex rods, tied a satin edge scarf around my edges, and threw a bonnet on top. I wake up with bombshell curls every time, and I never have to touch up my curls in between salon appointments.

#LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty

I got some questions on the links for this vacation outfit I wore on YouTube, I got this whole look on SHEIN for the low.

I am wearing the halter top and skirt in a size 4, they’re stretchy and true to size.

I wore brown shorts under the skirt as it’s a see through crochet skirt, and I wanna be able to wear it out and about.

#AD tortoise nails have been a huge trend this fall, and BTArtBox made it super easy for us to get the look at home with their new tortoiseshell collection 😍💅🏾✨

Here’s how I used their long stiletto nails to make this press on nail set. I customized the nails with gold glitter nail art gel polish.

These nails would be a great holiday gift idea for DIY nail girlie in your life, and they’re also currently on sale for Black Friday! 🛍️✨

Pretty in pink winter outfit for a casual breakfast date. This pink fur jacket & pink plaid scarf kept me so warm and cozy! 💖✨

I’m wearing a jacket and a size medium, which is a size up so that I can layer underneath.

I’m wearing the boots in a size 10, which is the largest size they come in. If possible, you could definitely size up.

#LTKootd #LTKCyberWeek #LTKSeasonal

Here’s how I did this 90s makeup inspired eyeshadow look, using the new Patrick Ta Deep Eyeshadow palette 🤎✨

#LTKBeauty

Macy’s started dropping their black Friday deals, and when I saw this pink fur jacket was 50% off I had to try it on! 😍💖🛍️

It’s super soft and warm, and would be a great piece to level up any of your winter outfits.

I’m typically a size 4 to 6, and I’m wearing it in a medium as I wanted a room to wear layers under it.

#LTKHoliday #LTKCyberWeek #LTKFindsUnder100

It’s supposed to help reduce the eight visible signs of eye aging, and make your eyes look more lifted.

They are a super affordable way to get the designer inspired look for less 🩰.

I am wearing them in a size 10, and they are true to size and comfortable. They come in a bunch of different colors! I can’t wait to wear these with my holiday outfits

#LTKHoliday #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder100

This new perfume combo has been getting me stopped left and right lol 💖.

I picked up a bottle of the viral Yara perfume (a beautiful and sophisticated powdery musk scent), and I’ve been layering with it with Yum Boujee Marshmallow by Kayali (it has notes of pink musk, whipped vanilla, and strawberry to name a few).

They smell amazing layered together! If you’re looking for a new perfume to try, or a holiday gift for someone who likes sweet scents either of these are a great choice.

#LTKBeauty #LTKHoliday

It’s tiiiiiime! 🎄✨ I’m starting to get in the holiday spirit, so I set up my mini christmas tree today on my dresser.

This year I went for a traditional green tree, but of course I stuck with pink holiday decorations. I loveeee the mini pink diamond ornaments I got for $3! 😍💎💖

Have you started putting up your Christmas decor?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

#AD With the holiday season right around the corner, there’s no better time than now to learn how to start doing your own nails at home.

Today I’m using the glitter base French tip nails BTArtBox sent me from their new holiday collection, and they are the perfect classy and sparkly holiday nails 💅🏾🎄✨.

Here is how I use them to make my own press on nails, and how I make my nails last!

I got a couple questions on how I maintain my yaki sew in, and get these bombshell curls. Honestly, it’s so easy! 🙌🏾😩

At night when I wrap my hair, I use five 1” flexirods to roll all of my hair. Then I tie a satin edge scarf around my head and throw a bonnet on.

When I wake up in the morning, I just take the rollers out, and brush my hair with my unbrush. That’s it! I don’t do anything else to it and I get big bombshell curls every time 😍.

#LTKBeauty

I did a 5K for breast cancer awareness last week, and this pink sweatsuit from Amazon was perfect for it! It kept me nice and warm, and it’s so comfy.

I’m wearing it in a size small, and the pants are tall girl friendly (i’m 5’9”)

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKActive #LTKTall

One thing about me, my car always smells SO GOOD. I picked up this hanging car air freshener today from bath & body works, and it now smells like freshly baked gingerbread cookies 🙌🏾😍.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

#AD If you want to do some cute fall nails at home, you gotta check out the new BTArtBox x LongHairPrettyNails collab! 💅🏾✨

It comes with five different nail designs that you can just glue on and go. I’m extra though so I applied another coat of topcoat lol.

You can grab them on Amazon and they come in a bunch of different shapes and lengths. I am wearing the long stiletto nails.

Which set would you rock? 👀

#LTKBeauty

#AD New concealer combo unlocked 🔓✨ and chileee, my under eyes have never looked smoother 🙌🏾😍.

Tower 28 recently sent me their Swipe Serum Concealer in 16 SB (a spot-on match for my neutral undertone), and I paired with the OG Tarte Shape Tape in 35N, it gives me the perfect balance of coverage and brightness.

Finding a full-coverage concealer that actually works for neutral undertones (especially for Black women) can be a struggle. But this duo? Game changer 🙌🏾💖

I got so many compliments on my skin when I wore this shimmering body oil by Vaseline 👀🍫✨

I’m wearing it in the shade golden hour glow, I grabbed it on Amazon!

#LTKBeauty

I wore this look to a speed dating event, and it’s such a sexy early fall date outfit.

The bronze platform heels were so comfortable to stand and walk in. And you see the way that Vaseline body glow oil got me glowing?! ✨

Btw, my dress is from Fashion Nova 🧡.

#LTKTall #LTKShoeCrush #LTKBeauty

I made this long almond press on nail set to go with my leopard dress I’m wearing to an event 🐆 💅🏾✨. They came out so cute!

I got everything that I used on Amazon, I freehanded the leopard print design, and added floral nail stickers.

I love how the chrome came out, it looks so pretty when the light hits it! I went with a new topcoat this time, by GAOY and it’s my new favorite for gel nails.

Y’all want a tutorial on how I made this set? 👀
