a little bit of everything
I love facial hair on men. I mean, I can’t tell you in words how much I love it. But it depends though. There’s a line between hot and Father Christmas (Santa Clause for the Americans). Facial hair on a man just makes him some kind of rugged. Strangely though, I have never dated anyone with facial hair *pauses and thinks about it* Yup, haven’t dated anyone with facial hair. Igwe had one small collection of hair under his jaw {Read More}
My people, it has happened to me. Ever since I went natural, I have never, ever carried my own hair outside. And the reason is that (1) I never know what to do with it, and (2) It’s a lot more convenient for me to just do something to it, so I don’t have to bother with it everyday. That’s why I love braids (though I hate sitting to get them done, and I hate taking them out). But this {Read More}
Well, technically, it’s not new. It’s been around for a while. However, it just recently gained a lot of popularity. If you’ve seen a drag queen’s make-up, then you’d notice that their face doesn’t look as masculine as regular men. Their faces are not as square or chiseled as the average man, and that’s a lot of times due to highlighting and contouring. Why don’t I stop describing a drag queen’s face and just show you what it looks like. {Read More}
I love my breasts. I really do. I have no intention of altering them in anyway. When you’re err endowed in the breast department, then you’ll really understand how a bra affects your look. If you have itty bitty breasts, it may not make a big difference what bra you’re wearing (unless it’s a push up), but for people like us, bras matter. When I was younger, I was into the plunging neckline. The more cleavage I showed, the better. {Read More}
I’ve always loved Kerry Washington, but we cannot deny that Scandal has done even so much more for her reputation. If you did not know her before, then you definitely know her now. If you don’t know she’s Kerry Washington, then you know that she is Olivia Pope. Whether as Kerry Washington or as Olivia Pope, she’s got some break-necking style — which is why People Magazine has named her the best dressed woman of 2013. Now, I won’t lie {Read More}
Ladies and gentlemen of Verastic, we have a problem. It appears that I don’t like my clothes anymore. Well, I like some of them, but most of them, I’m just not in love with. My favorite clothes are my skirts, and I almost have no problem with them. I love wearing skirts. If I could, I’d wear a skirt everyday. Only a skirt. But that’s just how I feel today. Knowing me, I might change my mind tomorrow. After all, {Read More}
Actually, for men, they are called meggings. If I did not have a picture to accompany this post, I would have thought about a list of reasons why men shouldn’t wear leggings. But I have a picture. And a picture is a thousand words reasons. Just out of curiosity, are there male Verastic readers that wear this (or are willing to wear this)? And are there female Verastic readers who know men who wear this? Would you want your man, {Read More}
Brands are always pushing the envelop when it comes to advertising, and I cannot fault them for that. The more outlandish your ad is, the more popular it becomes. I, for one, am a big fan of Geico ads. They’re mostly funny. But this is an ad for mascara from benefit (their they’re real mascara) and it’s — interesting. I watched the ad with my mouth open because I was sure I was watching the wrong ad. I know that {Read More}
Before I went natural, my hair style was mostly permed all the time. Then I started braiding in between. Then I started using weaves in between. Then my edges went to Edge Heaven. Then I chopped most of my hair off. Then I stopped perming it. The edges are not as bad as they were, but they’re not as good as they were either. Now I’m mostly in braids. Sometimes I have a weave on, but not very often. The {Read More}
I am not an expert in the department of beauty essentials or foundation discovery and/or application. This post is written based on my own experience and opinion, so take from it what you think may apply to you. I started using Lancomé back in 2008 after I attended a free Lancomé thingy where they made my face up and made me look all pretty. It was after using that foundation that I realized just how heavy my Mary Kay foundation was. {Read More}
