LAMIK

I recently had the opportunity of meeting Kim Roxie, the founder of LAMIK Beauty at an event. She was a phenomenal person to meet. She is even more phenomenal with make-up and brushes.

Lamik pronounced (la-meek) means a reconstitution of beauty, the principle guidance in cosmetic/makeup affairs and the philosophy of beauty a lifestyle.

Lamik Beauty is the first eco-chic make-up brand, including facial care and eyelashes. Lamik gives makeup a new purpose, women a new zeal for applying it, and a healthy platform for its existence. Every woman is empowered by being included all races and ages.

Lamik Beauty believes simply "Beauty is Revealed...Not Applied"

Lamik Beauty will soon be opening a new store in the Atlanta area. I am truly excited and anxious about this new store. I know you are too so for now you can check out the website and begin your Lamik experience until Lamik arrives.

My Favorite Beauty Products

I absolutely love these products. I use these everyday!!!
















My products

Mary Kay Make-Up Remover

This Make-Up Remover takes everything off so smoothly and without much effort. Just dab some on a cotton ball and start removing.  I promise you will adore the results. Your makeup will not be smeared over your face but removed!

Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Sweet Nectar

This lipstick is my favorite. It is creamy and the color doesn't really fade after application

Secret Scent Expressions in So Very Summerberry

This is my favorite flavor So Very Summerberry. You know I have to stay so fresh and clean I'm always on the go. I never worry about my deodrant not working and it has a berry type smell.

Hard Candy Walk The Line Liquid Eyeliner

This eyeliner comes in many different shades but I use the black. It stays on basically until you take it off. It is smooth and easy to apply.

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes

This is the best mascara I have ever used. This mascara does not clump up in the bottle or on your lashes. It also makes your lashes look so full. I would recommend this to being your next bottle of mascara , you won't be disappointed.

This body butter Be Seduced by Victoria Secret speaks for itself. Its seduces. Yum

Enjoy!!

Strawbabies

I know lately you've heard me say "strawbabies" and I know you are probably thinking well what exactly is that.

Well it's quite simple!

Strawbabies n. These are PinkStrawberries number one supporters. They are the beast behind PinkStrawberry. 
ex. PinkStrawberry loves her strawbabies!

Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum by Viktor & Rolf

Launched in 2005, Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum is a floral explosion, a profusion of flowers that has the power to make everything seem more positive.

Viktor&Rolf designed a bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond for their fragrance. A symbol of the dream. It contains magical powers capable of harbouring the secrets of those wearing it.

Full-bodied and opulent, the Eau de Parfum explodes in a bouquet of sensations with its addictive floral notes which leave their trail, like a whirlwind that is distinctly couture. A millefleurs around the freesia, Centifolia rose, osmanthus and Sambac jasmine, supported by a background of patchouli.

I love Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf  this is my all time favorite. I bought some around Christmas time 2011 and I must say then it was sold out the only place I could find it was at the Lenox Mall in Sephoria. Big ups to Sephoria because they always have everything you need. I love Sephoria. Anyway, I know you get the point. But strawbabies when I tell you this perfume is O MY GOODNESS!!!!

I love everything about this fragrance even the commercials. They are soooo cute!!!!!!http://youtu.be/_XHJ7IadMWA

I know you are excited because I was!! Give your self a treat go splurge a little on yourself. You won't regret it I promise I get soo many compliments when I wear this fragrance.

Head on over to http://www.victor-rolf.com/ and tell me exactly what you think about this fragrance strawbabies!!!

GOOD DEEDS by: Tyler Perry

Last night was the opening night for Good Deeds. Another impressive movie by Tyler Perry. I am a long time fan of Tyler Perry.  I went to the opening night of Good Deeds and I must say the movies I went to  was packed. First of all, I went to the 10:15pm showing. I bought the tickets at 5pm. I showed up at 9pm to get a nice seat. I must say that I was still like number 40 in line. While I was waiting in line at 9pm I saw the line start to wrap around. I got good seats but for those that came at 9:30 I'm pretty sure they rescheduled. The theater was packed.

The lady beside me in the movie must have cried the whole time. That really bothered me. I know that alot of people out here are having hard times. I understand that wholeheartedly but I must say I am soo blessed to not have experience many of the things that people have been through.I also am blessed to know my father in heaven that is a true provider and shield. He gives me all of my needs and honestly majority of my wants. He positions me to achieve and I grasp hold and climb through those windows and doors he opens for me. With that being said, strawbabies NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS OR YOU THINK IT IS LOOK TO THE SKY, BOW DOWN AND TALK TO HIM. HE IS A GREAT LISTENER AND HEARER.

I sometimes go thru a typical day and count my blessings and smile because around 9am i loose count because I have received so much when I sometimes give so little. I get so overwhelmed at the thought of a starving child, a homeless mother and child. It also bothers me even more when I know those people have family that won't even lift a finger to help. Its sad and like she said in the movie SHAME ON YOU.  My family has always had my back, my friends alike  and  even if my family had nothing to give or help they made a way for me and mines. That's family and that's the things they do and you should too.

Arm Candy

I love Arm Candy. I actually have tons of arm candy. I looked arm candy up on the web. The meaning of arm candy is drum roll please!!!

arm candy. n. Slang. An attractive person who accompanies another to public gatherings but is not romantically involved with that person.

What!! O my goodness that is NOT my definition of arm candy. PinkStrawberry's definition of arm candy!!

arm candy. n. Slang. Bracelets of all sorts and shapes that make your arm look soo sweet almost eatable.

Examples of Arm Candy:

                                                                  Juicy Couture

                                                         Disney Charm UK

    

 

New Trend for HipHop

Chanel with Bling

Nicki Minaj arm candy

Nicki Minaj

The Square Bling

The Gold Cuff

It's always so fun to go out and find the perfect arm candy. The perfect candy could set your total outfit off. If it's the right candy some people will transition from your wear and zoom in on your arm.
