Happy Friday Darling Divas!
As announced in my IG stories, today we are doing a double feature Friday here on NoMinusPlus! So that means you get two blog posts today. Isn’t that so fun? For your first video, I am doing a GRWM to film for the video that you will be seeing later today at 5. I love doing GRWM videos because they allow me to chat a bit with you, and you get to look at some of my makeup skills. This video is a bit long, so grab a snack, grab your makeup, and get ready with me!

Beauty Basic’s Episode #2- Brows
Happy Monday Darling Divas!
Welcome back to the blog! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, but it’s time to get back to business! Now last week I introduced the Beauty Basics series here at NoMinusPlus! In the last episode I talked about the importance of prepping your skin for makeup and removing your makeup properly. If you want to check that out click here! Now episode 2 was supposed to be up the next day, but since it was such a long video it too FOREVER to upload! I decided to work on it more, and now its finally ready to present! So today in this episode of the beauty basics series we are going to be talking all about BROWS!!!! Eyebrows are a very important part of doing your makeup. If your eyebrows aren’t on point then your whole makeup look will not be on point! So today I will be showing you how to groom, fill, and clean up your brows. Since this video was soo long, I had to break this video in two parts! So part one will be showing you how to groom your brows, and part two will be showing you how to properly fill in and clean up your brows. Breaking up these videos in two parts also works because now you can choose which part you want to learn. If you want to lean how to just groom your brows then just watch video one, and if you want to fill and clean up your brows just watch part two of the video. Of course if you want to learn it all then watch both parts! Now enough of the talking, lets get to the videos!
Did you enjoy the videos? I really hope you did! I hope that it taught you something new! Now since I have alot of information to share in this video, I am going to split the info according to each part of this video. So lets first discuss Part 1 which is the grooming process.
If you want to use eyebrow razor’s I recommend

The white eyeliner I recommend is:
Wet n Wild Color Icon Liner Brow & Eye Pencil in White
Part 2 Fill
There are seriously so many brow fill in products on the market for you to use! You can use powder, pencils, gel’s, pretty much anything to fill in your brows! I switch between powder and pencil, but I love trying out new brow products.
If you want to use a eyebrow powder/cream I recommend:
E.L.F Eyebrow Kit
If you want to use a brow pencil I recommend:
Wet n wild Color Icon Brow
Feel free to try out whatever brow product interests you! However if you are a beginner I would stick to a pencil and powder since they are the easiest to work with. You can also use a eye shadow color that is the same color of your brow if you cant get your hands on products!
Part 3 Clean Up
Now the clean up process of brows is where the magic happens! This adds that sharp perfect brow look that everybody loves. A thick concealer will do the trick, and you want to make sure you get the concealer in a shade 2-3 shades lighter than your skin color so that your brow can really pop.
The concealer I recommend is:
NYX Concealer in a Jar
Beauty Basic’s Episode #1- Prep& Remove
Happy Monday Darling Diva’s!
Welcome back to another week on the blog! Today I am finally going to be starting up my beauty basics series! I asked on my social media if anybody would be interested in a series teaching makeup for beginners. I got alot of great feedback on that post, so here it is! This is a ongoing series so it doesn’t have an end date. Im going to just keep on making these basic’s videos until I feel that I have touched on every topic. If you have a particular makeup skill that you want me to show you how to do just leave it on the comments! I will be sure to touch on it if I can! I AM NOT A MAKEUP ARTIST! But I really love makeup. I will be showing how I personally like to apply makeup, and I hope that’s ok! So enough of the rambling! Let’s get into the video!
Did you enjoy the video?? I hope that you truly did! I hope that it was really informational and helped you out alot. Skincare is very important when it comes to makeup application. You have to take care of your skin before you even put an ounce of makeup on. So I figured this was the perfect video to start the basic’s with. So lets get into the info!

Top 5 Lipstick Colors
Hello All My Darling Divas!
Welcome Back! I made the announcement this week that I would posting 3 blogpost this week. Yesterday I gave you my OOTD, and today I’m delivering again with this video. Today I am discussing the Top 5 Lipstick Colors that I believe every woman should have in there possession!
So enjoy the video and meet me below for more details.
Did you enjoy the video? Be sure to comment below letting me know what your fave color lipstick is, and what your fave brand of lipstick is.
Here are more pics and lipstick tips. I decided to use all older pics of me wearing the lipstick colors I discussed so that I can show you how often I wear these colors.
- Adding a lip liner will make your lips look fuller, and can also help change the color of your lipstick. So if you want a darker or lighter shade of lipstick, blend your lipstick with a lip liner!
- Be sure your lips are moisturized and cared for. You don’t want lipstick on cracked lips! I always moisturize my lips using Blistex
- Maybeline always has lipstick color collections. So if you are on a budget, look to them first! They actually have a lipstick collection for every color discussed in today’s video.
- Apply a gloss to the top of your lipstick to create a shiny finish
Updated Everyday Makeup Routine
Hello All My Darling Divas!
Welcome to another week on the blog! I am really proud that I have been keeping up this 2 blog post a week thing all summer. Kudos to me! So today I am showing you my updated makeup routine. I’m always working on switching up my makeup routine, and learning different ways to apply makeup. It dawned on me that I haven’t shown my makeup routine since 2011 and I’ve learned soooooooo much more about the application of makeup since then. If you want to check out my old routine, Click here So enjoy the video below, and meet me under for more pics!
So did you enjoy the video? I know I may have been a lil ashy due to that darn translucent powder, but I fixed all my casper mishaps off camera. I love learning new makeup tricks, so if you have any suggestions feel free to comment them below!
Now let me throw in there that I don’t do this EVERYDAY. I do this routine when I am going somewhere, recording, or just wanting to feel like Beyonce. I call it my everyday routine because its just a basic makeup regime versus an actual tutorial when I’m showing you a certain eye makeup look.
I did a side by side comparison of my makeup routine from 2011 to now. I have come succhhh a long way and all that proves is that my makeup skills can only get better and better from here. I was fabulous then, and I’m even more fabulous now!
So ladies what’s your makeup routine? Share it with me below or on any of my social networking sites! The links to them are all above. That’s all for today divas! Check back this week again for another video.Hmm I wonder what it’s going to be about! Until next time, love ya lots like tator tots!

My Top 10 Skincare/Makeup Essentials for the Summer
Hello All My Darling Divas!!!!
Sooo as you know it’s getting a bit warmer out. So that means that my skin starts to act crazy, and my makeup is always melting off my face. My top 10 products help me keep my skin clear, and my makeup on. I also created a Top 10 list of my essential natural hair products a couple of years ago. This post is inspired by that. You can check out that blog post here. Meet me under the video for more pictures and info!
y face. Its perfect for the summer, but I don’t use it all the time. Only for special occasions. I purchased this from Target.
This keeps my lips feeling really moisturized during the summer. The summer sun can make my lips feel really dry and cracked. My Blistex ensures that my lips stay hydrated to beat out the summer sun.
This is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT item on my list! I have various shades and colors, and the summer time is when I really express my look using my lipstick. I have really become a makeup junkie, and will soon be recording a lil lipstick collection lookbook to show everyone!
