DIY Nails: Cotton Candy ;D

Real easy to accomplish such a glamorous look.! All you need is:

  • Nail Clipper/ Nail File
  • Nail Polish Remover/Cotton
  • Any solid color base coat
  • A "VERY GLITTERY" Polish (NYC Brand)
After you clean up your nails (file, cut, etc)
Solid Base Coat:
Following the GLITTER ;D
EASY ! Yet Soo Glamorous ;D

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ?!

Have You Ever Been Involved With Someone, .. 

Whether it be a relationship or just casually talking etc. where you guys would get to a point & everything was perfect !. & you would ask yourself . "What' s wrong with person ?!" or "Something has to be wrong" or even say to yourself "This is too perfect"

I feel like we let our past relationships & experiences corrupt us to a point where we expect the worst out of someone. 
Were suppose to learn from the past ! not let it jade us where were afraid of heart-ache & pain.. In retrospect We often wait for something to go wrong, & sometimes thats where problems tend to arise & develop because we go looking for trouble or flaw of some sort. 

Which I myself am guilty of 100% . 

BUT why must we question it ?!, & doubt something that is going in the right direction ?!.

 There can be infinite amount of possibilities why we people think this ..

1. Some do enjoy the drama, (sub-consciencely & consciencely )  
2.Others may  feel as though they don't deserve a "good thing" 
or 
3.EVEN to some its expected. ! 

Don't constantly question someone's intentions. 
( NO ! ) I'm not saying to be naive, but I am saying not everyone is the same & don't compare one person to a previous . Because not one person in this world is the same.  . Though we may share similar thoughts & traits, and personalities etc. "Were all cut from a different cloth" 
With that being said if you happen to find yourself in this sort of predicament 
REMEMBER ! Regardless of what steps you take heart ache is inevitable, there's no way of going about heartbreak. Its like death there's no way to cheat it .

SO go in with an open heart & bask in the moment. 
.

YOUR ARE ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY !

KEEPING IT REAL ISN'T THAT HARD !!

Why is it so hard to keep it real ????


Photobucket

When ever you meet someone most likely the chances are they are already talking to someone else but when you ask them they tell you no . Why is that??? People fail to realize when they tell the truth from the beginning what ever happens at the end is expected. When ever you make some one feel that they are the only one you are interested in everything becomes more complicated then it needs to be when you end up choosing the other person at the end. Theres always a better way to deal with things especially when other peoples feelings are involved.  If your going to take that much time out of someones life you might as well let them decide on what they want to do with it. Though sometimes keeping it real may hurt the other persons feelings at least they don't look stupid. As i wrote in a previous post  " I RATHER FEEL HURT THEN LOOK STUPID " just keep it real ! 


Don't spare our feelings, Spare our time & keep it real. We can fix our feelings over time, time is something we can never get back.

LIPSTICK AND LABELS. APPROVED. !


beauty in color 


THE FUTURE OF RAP ?!

NOW IM SURE EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON WHO IS THE FUTURE OF RAP MUSIC. AS DO I .IN MY OWN OPINION I FEEL AS THE FUTURE FOR MUSIC IS AUBREY GRAHAM OTHERWISE KNOWN AS DRAKE. 
WHEN HIS NAME IS BROUGHT UP. THE RESPONSES THAT ARE OFTEN GIVEN IS HES "OVER-RATED" WHICH SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND. SIMPLY BECAUSE BEING KNOWN WORLD-WIDE IS WHAT ARTIST STRIVE FOR. FOR THEIR MUSIC TO BE HEARD BY EVERYONE. NOT JUST "THE HOOD" PER SAY SO FOR PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY DONT LISTEN TO A ARTIST ANYMORE BECAUSE NOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE AWARE THEIR TALENT IS SIMPLY FOOLISH. IF YOU NO LONGER WANT TO LISTEN TO AN ARTIST MAKE IT BECAUSE OF A VALID REASON NOT BECAUSE POP-CULTURE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO THEM AS WELL.
WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO DRAKE

. DRAKE IN MY OPINION IS ABSOLUTELY TALENTED !!  HIS AMBITION IS WILLINGNESS TO GRIND & POSSIBLY BECOME THE BEST IS INSPIRING. THE YOUNG MONEY/ CASH MONEY AFFILIATE  HAS STEPPED INTO HIS OWN.WHERE VETS. SUCH AS JAY-Z & KANYE WEST ARE GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.HIS PUNCH LINES ARE CLEVER. & ANY HOOK HE JUMPS ON IS AN INSTANT HIT & (ADDING TO THAT HE SINGS AS WELL) & HIS STAGE PRESENCE IS CAPTIVATING. HE HAS A SLEW ! OF HITS. & HAS YET TO DROP HIS OWN ALBUM. HIS LYRICS ARE & WELL THOUGHT OUT.& HAVE SUBSTANCE.DRAKE HAS A WORLDWIDE APPEAL WHERE ANYONE CAN RELATE TO FROM LA, CALIFORNIA- NEWARK NJ. & BROOKLYN, NY CAN BUMP TO.HIS MIX-TAPE "SO FAR GONE" WILL FOREVER BE A CLASSIC. THAT MIX-TAPE ALONE WAS LIKE AN ALBUM. 
"DROPPED A MIXTAPE THAT SHXT SOUNDED LIKE AN ALBUM"- FOREVER
WHICH IS WHAT EXPOSED US & BROUGHT DRAKE TO THE SPOT-LIGHT. 

-IF I DIDNT SAY IT BEFORE ILL SAY NOW. !!
DRAKE IS AN AMAZING ARTIST & THIS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT HAVE YET TO SEE FROM THIS YOUNG MAN.
IF THE TALENT IS UNDENIABLE THAN WHY DENY IT ?! 
(RESPECT IT)

*CHECK OUT OUR PLAYLIST -STRAIGHT DRIZZY ! *

An Inspirational Story of AMBITION: Demetrius "Amaree" Taylor



Demetrius is a GREAT friend & supporter of Lipstick & Labels. I have gotten the opportunity to get to know him personally over the past couple of years, & I can honestly say that he is an AMAZING person. Filled with drive, passion, perseverance, & positive energy. We had so many differences, but ONE thing we had in common was our passion. His for basketball...mine for fashion. We have always supported each other, & even though we aren't as close as we used to be.. I will know we will ALWAYS support each other. Lipstick & Labels is a proud supporter & can't wait to go to get footage on his NBA games ;).
This video is a bit long, I'm not going to lie. haha. However, once you start watching, you won't want to stop. Everyone needs to surround themselves with people like this.
BE INSPIRED. xo

Revoke Your Player Cards. !

So I was downloading a ton of music to my computer, & fell upon
All Because Of You by Marques Houston,
which by the way is an absolutely amazing & cute songg.


Which got me thinking.


-Deep down the most sluttiest guys just want the one person to come home to.-
in essence ...
("Revoke they're player cards")
Its easyy to have a ton of girls to talk to & chill with but at the end of the day. Those 15 mins you spend with those girls. Amount to nothing in comparsion to the one special person you would rather spend your daysss with.
There can be a 2446745943 girls telling you the same thing over & over but at the end of the day when that 1 person tells you it . Its a completely different ball game.


Someone to tell you, i love you or missed you & really mean it.
Some one to tell you how much you mean to them & know that theyre being honest with you.
Someone to dedicate your time & effort to. & knowing that all cards are in.
Some to know who knows your goals. dreams. ambitons ( & supports you)
Someone who knows your flaws & ALL. & finds them cute /charming & the best part about you.


- When they walk into a room you see no1 but them . ! -
butterflies & All.


YES I MUST ADMITT THIS PERSON IS HARD TO FIND !
but if you happen to find this special person DONT them gooo. because chances are you wont find another. so hold onto em' tight. & never let goo. !

NOTE TO THE FELLAS :
"Life isnt about getting love from a million girls; its about finding that ONE girl you can love a millions ways".




QUOTE OF THE WEEK


"Even if you don't reach all your goals, You've gone higher than you would have if you hadn't set any. "
__Fotopoulis.






[ Don't limit yourself to just one thing; find as many goals you can reach and go for it. People limit themselves and close their mind to how many things they can actually accomplish and never end up reaching their full potential. We can do as many things that we want in life. Our generation is still young we have time to think about what we actually want to become. Just cause you didn't reach all of your goals you've gone further than you would've with not trying. DON'T GIVE YOURSELF A LIMIT JUST DO IT ! ]

RANDOM FACT

When a girl meets a guy and finds him attractive she'd automatically like him and start picturing them two together; when a Guy meets a girl he just focuses on if he wants to just smash or not...possibly wifey but thats thinking to far ahead.

Success Advice | By: Samantha


There will always be haters, that's the way it is. Hater (Guys), marry hater bxtches & have hater kids. But they're gunna have to take my life before they take my drive. Cause when I was barely living, that's what kept me alive. _K. West.


Definition of a Hater; A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person. 

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.


The higher you get in life, the more hate you get. It comes with success. If you wonder why you have SO much negative people (Haters)..it's MOST likely because your doing something RIGHT. The GREATEST always have the most HATERS. (Ex; Kanye West, Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, etc.) Which is why in order to survive at the top.. you MUST be strong and use the hate as fuel to push you even harder. Once you attain that power, you'll be just fine.
Another thing that comes with success that you will notice, is people that never spoke to you before, will now begin to show interest in you and you life. This is what we call a fake person. They don't want to be friends with YOU, nor do they care about you. They simply want your friendship for the attributes that you have worked hard for. They want to leech off of you. You need to learn how to filter these "Fake friends" out from the real ones in any industry. & REMEMBER, these industries are very small.. People know people. So don't start something where dirt can get thrown on your name. You NEVER know when you will be working with that person again. So always leave, working with someone or somewhere, on a good note. No matter how much you don't like them. At the end of the day it's about your success.


We will see ALL of you brilliant individuals at the top. !!
Your ALL SUPERSTARS. ! (As my friend Danny Edmund would say)

You Are Beautiful.

Lipstick & Labels is ALL about INSPIRING our generation & bringing each other to SUPPORT each other. This article was inspired for me to write for our LOVELY lady followers. We are in a whole new decade, a decade in which we will under go a huge transformation. If you are apart of my generation, we are going from being a teenager to being an adult pursuing our CAREERS. You ladies need to know your worth & carry yourselves with respect. Always think back to the saying, "In order to GAIN respect, one must respect THEMSELVES first". Always LOVE yourself before anyone else. The women body is SO amazing & powerful. I don't know about you, but the fact that our bodies can produce a whole new LIFE in 9 months is absolutely a blessing & nothing less than beautiful.  Another thing, girls are SO quick to judge and call other girls "Ugly" or "Fat".. all these negative labels. Everyone is beautiful in there OWN way, shape or form. Everyone has there own talent. Everyone has there own opinions. This is what we all need to come TOGETHER and realize. That EVERYONE is different, and just because someone is not like me or you doesn't make them any less of an individual. So STOP JUDGING & START SUPPORTING. ! You can be the most GORGEOUS person on the outside, but if your negative and stuck up.. It instantly makes you the ugliest person in the room.


Now even though Lipstick & Labels loves to support ALL young ladies, One type of female we will NOT respect are the ones that DON'T respect themselves. That look for drama, live for it, strive for attention, guy thirsty.. If you display ANY of these traits, I HIGHLY suggest that you re-evaluate your life & your surroundings. It's not too late to turn your life around. You DON'T have to use your body or SEX to get a guy to like you. A REAL man likes a lady with a good head on her shoulders, that carries herself as a young WOMAN. No REAL man will want anything to do with a female of such negative characteristics. Besides for sex, if even that. 


Every girl has the opportunity to be a QUEEN. And every girl deserves to have a KING. However if you don't Carry yourself as a QUEEN .. You will be treated by guys as a peasant.
I always have & always will stress this saying to L&L readers, because I want YOU guys to have the best knowledge & outlook on life.
Don't live life chasing MONEY. & Do NOT live your life chasing guys/girls. Live your life chasing your DREAMS & Aspirations & the other two. ? WILL fall into place over time. Surround yourself with positivity & positive things WILL happen to you.


PS; If you felt ANY type of way reading this article, Please see this as not L&L Judging you.. We're just trying to help you. Help young ladies be ALL they can be, to there fullest potentials. PLEASE, re-evaluate your life.. Less DRAMA !!  & DONT FORGET ! You do NOT need to use sex for a guy to like you & If you do.. I can assure you, that is not a REAL man. Treat your body as you would treat a pair of Christian Louboutins, I know you wouldn't just throw it around & have everyone wearing them. !! haha.A new decade.. Make some POSITIVE drastic changes. :)



This song is from L&L To all our beautiful readers.. & don't just "Hear" it.. LISTENN to it.

Taking More Than What You Can Handle.

Why People Cheat???

So I've been sitting here thinking for the most logical reason on why people cheat; whether its to get even or just cause. Not that any reason would make it okay but it happens.

Ever heard of the saying "your eyes are bigger than your stomach" ?? Meaning people tend to take more food than what their stomach can handle. In this case thats exactly what people do. Not every person is meant for a relationship because they just don't know when to stick with their main course. People are greedy in every sense of the word. They want every bad chick/guy that walks in their path. They may truly and deeply love the person that they're with but they also want "that girl or guy". Its like going to a buffet; you always go straight after your favorite dish but you also want to sample everything else on the table. Over flow your plate and it just gets messyyyyy.
Its a cruel world we live in you just got to know how to handle yours. !
