I just Died and went to Lippie Heaven!
So, if you know me you know I am a lipstick fanatic! I have a slight addiction when it comes to my acquisition of lipsticks...and at this stage in the game, I don't care. Now, be mindful that I am ONLY in love with lipsticks and lipstains! I don't care about glosses, I will wear vaseline. But give me a good lip and I am here for it. So, when Maybelline dropped their new lipstick collection...I lost all my shit (Yup, I just said a bad word about it...that's how amazing th

Here Comes the Bride...Syeko Style!
I have to do better with my blogging! I have so much to share with all of the FABGLAMAZONS that follow me, however, I am so awesomely busy Accessmatizing that I often don't have time to post all that I want to share. I vow to do better! Today, though, I wanted to share the GLAMBULOUSNESS that was the photoshoot that I had with Jearlean Taylor (author of Pretty Girl Blues, model, and cancer survivor), Brandi with Syeko Design House, and Andre Dunston with Epic Media Photograp
Syeko Design House Photoshoot....Awesomeness!!
Sooooo....As you can tell, I'm addicted to using Flipagram...LOL! I had the dynamic opportunity to be a part of the Syeko Design House team for a photoshoot for the relaunch of their website! When I say I was inspired...I WAS INSPIRED! The owner and designer, Brandi Lewis, is like Heaven in a Bottle (one of my many Takia-isms). Her eye for details and her ability to mix edgy one of a kind hand-made pieces with vintage and/or simple everyday wears is absolutely....AWESOME-SAUC
Reinvigorated....
I felt myself slipping in to a creative funk. Make-up is not only my business but a way for me to be creative and express what is inside of me. So...to challenge myself and to get my creative juices flowing I woke up Monday morning and decided to take pictures of my make-up process and to turn it in to a flipagram video. I had no idea that I was going to have so much fun and that it would re-spark the make-up fire that lives in me. So...I decided to challenge myself to creat

"My eyeshadow won't stay on!"
You ever spend 1-2 hours in the mirror creating this dynamic eyeshadow look that you are so proud of only to have it disappear before lunch time??? UGH.....That used to happen to me and most of my clients complain that this happens to them. One of the biggest reasons for this is because you are not "priming" your eyelid. Most of us use traditional eyeshadow (not pigments or cream based products) that is, in essence, colored powder...LOL. Which means that over the course of t

Don't Forget Your BABY Lashes...
It's Tidbit Tuesday! I love sharing information that I have learned from playing in paint daily. One thing I learned early was don't forget about your BABY lashes...your bottom lashes! Now, I'm not going to lie...when I do my face daily I don't always remember my baby lashes. However, when I am creating looks for my clients I am always aware that mascara on the bottom lashes add a little bit more drama and can successfully complete a look. I know...I know...some of you are l

Welcome to Accessmatized!
Fabglamazons, This has been a journey! I am so excited to publish my first website and to be able to share my artistry with the world. When I tell people the story behind the start of my business I am often met with a long "Wooooowwww"....LOL! My business, like many others, started with a prayer. I decided that I wasn't going to make a "New Year Resolution" on December 31, 2012, rather, I was going to pray. I don't even know exactly what I prayed for or if I said any words bu
