It's a beautiful day outside in a so I wanted to take myself out to lunch today So I wanted to get cute and get ready with y'all feel like I haven't really updated y'all on what I've been using for my makeup My makeup is pretty much the same But I just tweaked it a little bit so We're gonna get into it. Maybe this might turn into a chick chat. Who knows but um, yeah So I've been really into the Kevin Acquan Essential skin primer as you can see it's messy. I hate when I do my makeup I can make up everywhere on every product. I don't like that and also Where'd I go? Oh, yeah, I just went to Miami real quick and I hate when my makeup and foundation get spilled all over my makeup bag, I don't like it, but Yeah, the skin's looking good. We staying away from a coffee. I've been drinking Machia, y'all and that's all I've been drinking. I haven't been drinking no coffee Like I'll have a little bit of coffee like on the plane Yesterday I had to go back home because I had a doctor's appointment Make sure you stay up on your appointments. I put the intro for that. That's how I had to go back home What's a doctor and I really think it's been helping with my skin like I get so many compliments on my skin I'm working out right here though on this side, but y'all can't see cuz it's my good side But yeah, I just really been staying away from coffee That's really the key and I like Machia I personally like it and I'm gonna put you on like my home recipe because I really been into like making my own stuff at home like food Drinks all that so for my foundation, I don't know if I talked about this But y'all I really love the Born This Way products Especially the concealer will get into it, but I've been using the Born This Way matte 24-hour Foundation and warm fan, but I do mix my foundations with I don't know how to say it, but it's our what H and Just mix them together. I do get ready with me's I have a tendency to look in the camera and not my Mirror But yeah, I'm redoing this whole room. I just ordered a new makeup mirror, so yeah I can't wait to Put it up, but I've been using my bandini planet portable mirror Like my travel meal. I really do like this mirror, but I just need something a little bit more elevated It's good for travel. Don't get me wrong. It's definitely good for travel. I've been using it And I like that I can just fold it up and put it in my drawers But I just want something more You know elevating stuff y'all it's February. It's my birthday month. I really don't know what I'm doing I don't know what I'm doing yet And also obviously Valentine's Day is coming up. What are y'all's plans? Are y'all spending it alone? Like what's the tea? What's it giving? But if you are spending it alone, it's okay because I'm spending mine's alone, too Obviously because we're spending time with ourself this year We're getting to know ourself better this year because guess what I'm choosing me this year I feel like I never really told y'all My relationships that is Y'all ask me all the time and blogs will like Find out who I'm talking to what I'm gonna say talk to targets in a relationship We're talking to whatever you want to call it David and they were like a post Post the person and clearly I'm not posting this person for a reason like people will always say oh my god Why are you hiding him? He's so fine like but little do y'all know just because somebody looks attractive on the outside Does not mean they're attractive on the inside like we'll just put it like that. We're not here to bash anybody You know hold on one second. I'm finished the born this way in the vanilla I cannot talk and my makeup at the same time. We didn't gonna do wake up or talk Okay, just just cuz somebody is attractive on the outside does not mean they're a good person on the inside That's really maturing for you because when you get older you really don't look at looks you really look go for like By personality can this person really provide can this person really bring to the table? Can this person really teach me something is this person really paying attention to me on what I'm like what I like Are you really into me like that because you can't keep telling our grown man how to love you and when they don't know How to love you that's when the communication sets in that's why you communicate and get to know people on how To love them depending on what they've been through in the past And if this person is not paying attention to what I'm communicating to them on how to love me on how what I Want to be and just still stuck in there always like it's time to let it go because I can't keep repeating myself And I can't keep telling the wrong man how to keep me in their life, you know I think it's just time to take an exit with some niggas. Just aren't don't put it into play So that's when you got to take the exit. Okay. I'll just blend it out my concealer This concealer really gets you that bright under eye. It's in vanilla Highly recommend if you want that bright under eye, but sometimes I think I don't know I've been using this new pop powder by Um Patrick, I mean I'm Patrick a Nikita dragon dragon beauty. It's good, but girl You can all be on it and it can have major flashback. I just took pictures this weekend and girl My flashback what? girl Okay, I had major flashback and it was just not cute But I have to go back to my basics and just do the hood of beauty makes it a little more seer But yeah, like I was saying in order for me to post something. I need to be Secure in my relationship. I need to know you're not talking to anybody else that I'm secured that I it's okay I'm in the clear to post you and make sure that you know I don't look stupid and nobody wants to look dumb at the end of the day and It wasn't giving that y'all it wasn't giving that And of course I had hopes that it would work out because this person was my Safe place when it came to like feeling comfortable and secure Especially living here in Atlanta. I felt so depressed and down like I felt alone in this person I knew for a long time. So that was like my safe place my security my It just felt like a piece of home to me that made sense. Love is really blind y'all love is so blind It's sick. That's why it's giving me season because I have to let things like that go But when I'm in a relationship or Involved with somebody I hate that I get so sucked into a relationship. I don't know what life is anymore I don't know what the world is. I don't even know my own life. It was given like my friends will call me I would not answer the phone like if I'm with my nigga don't call me like don't call me because I don't know you And sometimes y'all will see me not posting on Instagram. So I would be like Not posting on Instagram because I'm enjoying my time with this person And I'm just like what the fuck like I cannot live like this anymore because I'm not Getting treated how I want to and I'm not for getting fulfilled Within myself. I just I'm not being fulfilled with my life because I feel like I don't know what life is anymore And I'm declining things that I should be saying yes to and stop trying to you know write my own journey just to try and be like oh, I'm not gonna be like this I was trying to be a certain way to Keep somebody around that didn't want to be kept. It was just not healthy. It wasn't good for me So that's why this year in 2022. I'm like, okay. We need to start fresh. We need to get on a whole new vibe We need to start saying yes to things I need to allow God to write my journey for me. Y'all didn't really see what I was wanted My content was half ass. I could have did way better content in 2021 I feel like I was pushing a video like once a week and I just I just Like it was bad. But anyways, I'm blending. I'm contouring with Nars concealers in chocolate and Mandy I use a Mandy all my nose and chocolate on my cheeks But yeah, y'all it's definitely me season. I want to travel more I want to go on spontaneous trips more. I want to do whatever I want to do I just want to you know, be free and just live my life to the fullest and Not take anything serious anymore. I just don't want to Lose myself again because I really lost myself. I'm doing so much way y'all it's big and I'm not a fake person I can't fake happy being in a relationship. I am not posting Anybody just cuz yeah, okay, we're we have something going on. It doesn't mean I have to post it Okay, let me blend this stuff out cuz I'm talking so much. Okay, so I'm just letting my face just set a little bit And I just use the concoction the hood in the Lord mercy here So now we're gonna do eyeshadow. I'm gonna use the by Mario I'm Makeup palette. I feel like I always use this palette. I need to get a new Pallet with the colors just to try out something else. I just really like a dark Eyeshadow, it just brings out my eye color, but I don't want to do too much because Nothing major is happening But I just like that this is contours my eye kind of if that makes sense in cuz my eyes are small So I need them to look a little bit more defined And look like it's a little bigger than what it is Little biter little biter But yeah, y'all it's more to like than just a relationship So don't think it's the end of the world when you go through a breakup, of course We all have that roller coaster Feeling of you know being depressed going through those emotions and I hate that feeling But that's how I know when I'm done with somebody when I don't have those feelings no more But trust me girl, you'll get past it. I feel it is only a temporary feeling But yeah, let me know y'all's plans for Valentine's Day, I'm supposed to I wanted to go on a solo trip to New York or something like that But I think I'm gonna just go get my credenza Because I want to finish my living room because it's coming a vibe in there I just got my lamp say looking real cute and it's turning up on tiktok I don't know like people love the lifestyle and Looking at my living room like living room to our bedroom tour one thing about me I like taking pictures of things. I like taking pictures of items. I don't know. I don't I just like it. I just like photo dumps all that jazz the dark filter and So I was like, okay, I'm gonna start doing reals I remember when I was telling myself That I wanted to start doing reals this year and like really taking like tiktok and reals a series So I was like trying to plan it out and I was like, okay the first real I'm gonna make is gonna be a self-care one. We gonna Do self-care skin care and it was just not working out. I was like, oh my god And I remember when the one day I was in Zara And I met a supporter. She was like, oh my god I don't want to start and I'm like girl just start because I was telling her I was explaining to her that Um, I was like, I want to do reals more. I was trying to clean it out and I'm just like, no God is like, no, just do it. So with that being said if you want to start a real tiktok, um YouTube just start literally don't plan out nothing. Just be like, okay, I'm gonna pick up the camera today I'm not doing nothing. You're doing something exciting today and just be like, okay I want to I want to vlog today. I want to make a real today because my real my tiktok that I just posted the other day It's gonna get a million views on tiktok and I literally woke up and I was like, I'm gonna make a bacon egg cheese And I was like, I'm not doing nothing. So let me just make a real tiktok real quick And y'all it's just it's doing numbers and I just want to go with the bots like that now That's what I'm saying in 2022 I just want to go with the bots go with the flow and I have anything planned. I'm just allowing God To write my journey and if I feel like he's giving me a sign to just do it like if I feel something Inside me saying just do it. Don't pass up the opportunity. I'm going to do it That's why I'm saying new vibes for all of 2022 Per and that's how it should be And I just don't want to miss out on life anymore trying to be wrapped up into Things that I shouldn't be so I think we can add a little bit more of the round really quick And then we're gonna come back and wrap it up. I don't know why this Okay, I'm gonna um after I get done with my eyes we won't come back into our face And now we're going with the airbrush fallage finish powder This is literally a mess when it comes to doing my makeup Every time I'm blending something out now. I smile Because I don't want to harsh lines. Okay, and do we have a problem? I Like that song some people don't like it. I like it Nicki Minaj's new song with a little baby. It's gonna use the Airbrush fallage finish in Medium and this is the one I carry with me in my purse to touch up during the Signs when I need to Touch up my makeup Now we're gonna blush my favorite blush is the Dior, but I don't have it right now And y'all this is a good dude if you're looking for an affordable like dude for from the Dior blush um I would highly recommend getting this a light elf palette so it has these four colors in here sometimes I mix all four But this is the pink that I'm talking about that's a dupe for the Dior. It's so pretty. We're gonna do that So I can show y'all first In case you want to go pick it up And it does have a little shimmer in there That's why I don't wear highlight anymore. I just like to get blushes that have a little bit of highlight in them So in with this I'm trying gonna try not to OD on it because sometimes I be OD It's like a baby dog pink. I love this type of blush But if I was going somewhere like I would mix all of them But I'm not in with my mascara Blush paradise by a L'Oreal. I Like this mascara, but sometimes it doesn't bleed and I don't want it So can y'all please let me know what's a good mascara to like That doesn't bleed Because the L'Oreal lash line mascara is my favorite. I don't know that just tops off my whole look It's just it's just everything. I was thinking about getting bottom lashes to just avoid that problem Should I get bottom lashes y'all? See how it just looks like a baby dog. So cute. So now I'm just gonna spray the airbrush flawless setting spray Only highlight that I do is the Opha Rodale Drive highlighter and I just put this on my nose. I've been using this for so long. This is my favorite highlighter It's the kids professionals luxury intense a lip liner in dark brown And then for lipstick, I'm gonna be taking Max honey love Incarnation My lips are under-feated. I could not stop using now that says the honey love now I'm gonna top it off with the Dior lip maximizer and this is in the color zero zero one Okay, so I'm gonna spray my face one more time So pretty All right, so now I'm about to go in the bathroom and do my hair and we gonna come back and get dressed You already know outfit perfume or that and also do y'all like the brown hair on me I definitely miss my black hair. Don't get me wrong, but this hair is just I'm not in a rush to change it You know I'm saying uh people outside just be so rude like dang I think I'm gonna go a little a lighter cuz this is kind of like on the brass tier side of brown But it's not too brassy that it's not like Orange, you know I'm saying I do want to get it lighter and see what I What that gives but anyways, I'm gonna be right back and we're gonna finish up this video Okay, girl. No, we are all together. I don't know this cute little Sweater crew neck. Well, it's been given very much extra, but it's still chill at the same time and I got this from this black on store in Linux no Fibs they're actually in fibs and the owner was actually there working. These are custom made I love it so much I had to bring it out for today and then I just got on this necklace and then of course my WW watch Which you can use my discount code Kyra V-Day, which I explained in the beginning of the video for Perfume today.

I really takes the perfume you're combining with to the next level if I did not hype this up enough I'm hoping it up now. I know you are like, when is Zara gonna cut a check? When is Zara gonna cut a check? It doesn't matter. I didn't want a check from Zara. Like this is just what I do I like to give y'all the best of the best at an affordable price if I can because not a lot of People can afford to smell good. Sometimes some of these luxury perfumes be out of pocket price like $200 for a little baby bottle. This is only like $30 and it smells so good You can try it out with a little version the little purse version I'm just so happy that this reached a lot of my girls and I just I'm just so happy that y'all trust my nose and that I will give y'all Recommendations that are on point even though the price is cheap It doesn't smell cheap.
