Miley Cyrus Inspired OOTD

I decided to play dress up yesterday! My awesome friend who is killing the game with his videos came over from Atlanta, so I had to get him to do a video for me. We did a OOTD concept and he did an amazing job! He taught me a few things, so for upcoming videos I think I’ll be straight… well, let’s hope!

Check out my Miley Cyrus inspired OOTD!

But… Make Up Expires Too!

Happy Monday!

I’m currently in Toronto, my hometown and man it is hot! I am trapped in my house today because of how hot it is outside. I was going through my Tumblr dashboard, a daily routine, and stumbled on something great that I had to share with you all! Ladies, this one is for you. As I go through my makeup and decide what and what not to keep, these picture messages really came in handy. I think they’ll come in handy for you too! Check it out!

So, if you are doing any makeup summer cleaning like myself, this will be a great guide to get you started!

Glam Mom 101

Throughout the month, we will be asking different people to be a guest on our blog and post on various topics. To start off is Lajuana! FYI, she is Kalila’s sister. Look at the pictures below. You will see the resemblance :). Anywho, Lajuana will be giving all the mommies out there tips on how to be a glam mom! Check it out!

Hello Purple Lipstick Readers!!!
I’ve always been really into fashion but most days, as a new mom, looking my best just isn’t even close to being number one on my to do list. That was until someone said, “Wow, you look like a mom!” Now normally I wouldn’t take offense to such a statement, but the person's tone suggested that it was NOT meant as a compliment. I took a quick look in the mirror and realized that I looked the way I felt… worn out! I needed help. I didn’t want to look too conservative (since I am only 26) but I wasn’t sure how to transition my wardrobe. Time was also a concern, so, I immediately googled “fashionable moms". There are 3 things I’ve learned that have seriously helped and compliment my new lifestyle (i.e. working single mom that never sleeps).
1. A little makeup goes a long way! My sisters have been telling me this for years and I’ve finally realized they’re right. Since I don’t have a lot of “me” time, I developed a quick morning facial routine, utilizing a neutral makeup palette. If I need a pop of color, my lips do the talking :D.

2. Braids, messy buns/ponytails, and yes… wigs… have continually come to my rescue. I have found that staying simple and functional are not only my best options but they’re also timelessly chic.

3. Planning an outfit in advance does wonders... who knew?! A great pair of jeans and an awesome T-shirt is what I’m the most comfortable in these days but I find that no matter what I wear, it HAS to be comfortable!
