2011 OUTFIT RECAP & GIVEAWAY

This was hard as FRINGE!! Trying to pick your favorite outfits from 2011 when you wear something different almost everyday...ugh pulling out hair, errr extensions, lol!! And this is only the half of it. So take a scroll down memory lane and remember all my vintage craziness, DIYs and shitloads of jewelry!!
Damn I was looking pretty pretty fly last year, hehe!!

What's your fave??

Now on to the GIVEAWAY...

As fucking cool as it is to have a pic of yourself on a tee, thank ya thank ya, it's awkward as fuck wearing a tee with your face on it!! So I decided to giveaway two of the tees I received from Bershka, to two of my lovely readers! Their size S and M, I kept the L for myself...okay!

So here are the rules...
First you must be following VintageVirgin, then leave a comment stating which size S or M and you're done! Simple right?

I will then randomly select a size S and size M reader on January 16, 2012. So that's one whole week to submit.

GOOD LUCK and thanks for everything!!

Ask and you shall receive, lol! A lot girls have been asking me what do I use, how do I have great skin and what not. At first I was a little embarrassed cause I use really cheap shit you find at the grocery store or the ghetto beauty supply in the hood! You know what I'm talking about?? hahaha...as long as it works!

Hmmm I don't even know where to begin when it comes to my face. First off I've had psoriasis since I was 12 so I have to take care of my skin or else. Psoriasis is dry flaky patches of skin that can appear on the body and face. I have it on my face in my T-zone and scalp. It's irritating as fuck and I have to use prescribed shampoo and creams!

Lucky for me I've had it under control now for many years and seeing me in person you would never know unless I told you. It's all about exfoliating and more exfoliating! My weekly routine consist of Neutrogena's Microdermabrasion system 3 times a week and on alternate day I use the Queen Helene pomegranate scrub and Clean&Clear face wash together. Then every Sunday Queen Helene mint julep face mask, I wear it like all day.

And to keep my skin looking extra milk chocolate I use Ambi fade cream and cocoa butter. This really helps even out my skin tone and keeps me one shade.

So pretty much the secret to my great skin is to scrub a layer of your face off everyday, lol!

Now growing up as a cheerleader, I used to HATE makeup! Like they used to put so much on me and in all the wrong colors too. I was the only dark-skinned girl so they didn't know what to do with me, other than make me look like a complete idiot! So it's taken me awhile to trust it again and plus I don't really need it. Being extra black is AWESOME cause if I have a blemish or irritation of the skin you'll never see. I mostly use makeup in pictures to be honest! Like I will not wear foundation unless I have to...I'm scared shitless of it. I always think of those girls who look like they're melting or wearing the wrong color in general. But I did my research and Makeup Forever HD is the shizzz!! I only have to use a dot of the liquid foundation for full coverage and hardly any powder. And it stays on FOREVER!! It looks so natural that sometimes I forget I'm wearing it!

I've been wearing my eye makeup the same since my teenage pinup goth days so that just consist of black shadow, liquid eyeliner and mascara. Nothing special, lol!

 

I hope I was helpful even though everyone has different skin types. Always consult with a dermatologist is you have real skin problems and never go to sleep wearing makeup!!
