#forever thinking about the fenty trophy wife highlighter from way back when. i feel like that never got enough hype

[vulpinesaint]

Do you have a fav blush? Do you like cream, powder, or liquid blushes?

ok so my favorite right now is the colorpop blush stick in cottage life it is a wonderful like. terracotta orange that looks super natural on me. so awesome. also super super blendable it blends out so easy... also used the elf putty blushes and those are good, i have two of the like. orangey shades (<— orange blush enjoyer) (checked. i have bahamas and one that doesn't have a shade name but i'm p sure is turks and caicos) and they're rlly nicely blendable and buildable with good color payoff :) other than that i have the nyx sweet cheeks one that's like. a tube. in coralicious and that's also a good one that's rlly colorful! i have to put that one on the back of my hand before i use a brush to apply it though which Is a little more of an inconvenience so. y'know. it also looks like my sunburn shade in the summer so i have mixed feelings on wearing it then haha. i would say a cream blush is probably my fave? powder blushes are delightful obvi but in terms of what i actually wear day to day the cream ones (i think the elf ones are cream to powder. but y'know) are more realistic. liquid ones are cool but they are often just too pigmented for me... would never use the rare beauty ones cause i just don't need that much color and if i did i would just layer up more of the ones that i can use for more natural looks

  Hello beauties,

And welcome back to my blog!

Before we read this interview; let’s get centered by focusing on our breathing.

Take one deep breath in…. hold it for 4 secs.

Now slowly release it out your mouth for 4 more secs.

***You can repeat this exercise as needed. 

Now onto today’s post.

Happy Wednesday!

Wednesday is formerly known as ‘Woman Crush Wednesday’ or #WCW.

Here on Roseconnexa; Wednesday is for our #INSPOBAE feature!

Because she is our woman crush everyday.

Today, I’m bringing you a beautiful, smart and talented young lady.

She has been inspiring and influencing since like…. forever.

Not only is she a beauty but, she is also very creative.

And, she’s deeper than meets the eye. 

She recently started to pursue one of her God-given talents; Makeup artsy. 

So, of course I had to support her and, share her with you all.

Tune in and get inspired by this week’s #INSPOBAE.

Here is my interview with Roseconnexa’s #INSPOBAE of the week:

Amber aka @secretsthatsell

Hey Amber,

Thank you for joining me today on Roseconnexa.

Can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself?

My name is Amber. I’m 24 years old. I’m originally from Orlando, Florida however I just recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia mid August. I work full-time as a Customer Service Specialist for Comcast (which I’m hoping will soon change). God willing, I’m praying that in the next 6 months to a year, I’ll be able to do makeup professionally full-time. I’m also hoping to one day own a cosmetics line.

What do you want your legacy to be?

I really want to be remembered as someone who was always honest. I think the most influential people and greatest teachers in our lives are the ones who don’t sugarcoat anything and just give us the raw honest truth whether we’re receptive to hearing it or not. Most times, we often shy away from those who “tell us about ourselves” but 9 times out of 10, it’s exactly what we need to hear.

Makeup is def a talent of yours. What inspired you to pursue it as a career/part-time?

I’ve always had a love for makeup! I’ve actually been doing makeup since I was 13. Crazy thing is, for a long time I didn’t think my work would be profitable. For the longest; my mom, sister, friends and other relatives would tell me how good I was and I just kind of brushed it off. I did makeup sporadically through college but I still wasn’t fully confident in my work. Until recently, I did a photo shoot and it kind of ignited my flame to start doing it again.

What are some of your makeup tips/secrets?

A good skin regimen and lots of water! The first step to a flawless application is taking care of what’s underneath FIRST!

You’re very fashionable. What’s your process of putting a look together?

Thank you! 🙂 But my process for putting a look together is simple, I like to be comfortable first and foremost. I’m the self-proclaimed cozy girl, haha. If you’re not comfortable in a fit, you’re not going to be confident. I prefer overall tonal and monochromatic outfits.

What motives you and keeps you inspired from day-to-day?

In my head, I’m already a mom at heart. I’m always preparing and planning ahead for my future kids. Most decisions and life choices I make now are contingent upon how I want their life to be.

Do you have any advice for young ladies who struggle being creative?

My advice to any female struggling with creativity is to get out of your own head! Creativity is literally all around you, if you just take the time to notice it. I find most of my creativity from other women.

What’s your #1 beauty secret?

My number one beauty secret is highlighter and lots of it! If there’s anything I get compliments on is my glow honey! Trophy Wife by Fenty is my favorite.

What’s the best advice that you have ever received?

I’ve received so much good advice, LOL. But the best advice I’ve ever received is get out of your feelings. Feelings are fleeting. Most times I choose to ignore how I feel because one moment I can feel one way and then the next second, I can feel the complete opposite. If I went off every feeling I had, I wouldn’t even get out of bed most days. Because quite frankly, I don’t ever feel like going to work or to the gym. But it has to get done, so get out your feelings!

What’s next for you?

Well I’m hoping to continue to grow my clientele in Atlanta and then eventually quit my 9-5. I have so many different gifts and talents, God has blessed with me. I just pray he continues to guide my steps and bless the work of my hands.

Thank you again Amber.

This was a great interview and I got so many great takeaways from you.

It’s so adorable that you consider yourself a mom already. I can understand how having that mindset can motivate you. I think we should all adopt that mindset. My thinking is that we should always do something that will better our next generation and the generation after that. This keeps me motivated and committed to becoming a doctor. I want my kids and my future grandkids to want for nothing. So, becoming a doctor and, entrepreneur is my way doing that. 

Feelings are fleeting! I love that advice. I can be overly emotional at times. And, I had to learn to control my emotions. You can either run your emotions or let them run you! It’s def a practice though. I had to become aware and, understand my emotions first. Mediation helps with that! My strongest emotion would have to be anger. I use to lash out really bad but, now I try to sit in it. I try toobserve my feelings; rather than just lash out and, regret it later on. Like you said, we can feel one way and, in the next second we can feel the complete opposite. So, don’t hold onto your feelings to firmly. Get out your feelings but, feel your emotions when they arise.

I love what you want your legacy to be. Not too many can be completely honest with themselves let alone with others. I respect that you want to be known for your honesty. I def. get that vibe from following you for so long and from reading your tweets too! I love your tweets by the way!! 🙂

I’m wishing you the best in your future endeavors. I’m super excited and happy that you started to pursue your talent professionally. You have a skill with makeup brushes for sure and you are very creative. I see nothing but opportunities and great blessings heading your way. Looking forward to watching it all unfold for you.

Thank you again Amber for joining me today on Roseconnexa.
