I have to admit wearing makeup is new to me, even as a 34-year-old woman I barely wore it. My everyday was mascara and some lip gloss. Now that I am starting to wear makeup I am alway curious how to make it pop and happen to see Paula Patton and celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sherrif going over how to wear the Covergirl Queen collection. Watch the videos below and tell mewhat you think about the tips she provided. Do you have additional tips on makeup? Hit me up on facebook at Akiresatmidnight or on twitter at @akirehenri

The Structure
I have wanted a Hermes Birkin bag forever. The bag was a symbol of status and I loved the leather it looked so regal. Well with every Kim Kardashian, Guliana Ranic and NeNe carrying one now it seems to have lost it’s luster for me. Why get on a waiting list to look like them. Well I found a replacement that is much more affordable. Micheal Kors I love his bags and clothes and have found an orange and blue bag with structure that I will gladly rock. Tell me what you think about the MK bags in comments or @mediamyxx @akireshenri
My Favorite Things: Melody Ehsani
As I get older the things that appeal to me don’t cost alot but the creatvity and statement it makes is what pulls me in. I guess that’s why instead of being drawn to bling I am drawn to dope designer Melody Ehsani. Her peices are fly, different, upscale with a twist and I love them. I am looking at the new looks for spring and the earrings that stand out to me are the art deco peices and the asjai heel. Look at the pictures below courtesy of melodyeshani.com and tell me what you favorite peices are @akireshenri
Greek Ambitions
Ahhh I love Greek history. I can talk about the Alexander the Great, The Spartans and my favorite the Greek Gods like most talk about sports. This weekend Wrath of the Titans is coming out and I cannot wait. I went and saw the Clash of the Titans remake and had every intention to hate it but fell in love with the cast. See the trailer below and tell me do you plan on seeing it. Let’s discuss
Beautiful Nightmare
I have the worst allergies in the history of mankind’s existence on earth but I couldn’t help but to snap this picture. My inner child wanted to run through this field and repeat lines from The Wizard of Oz and The Color Purple but the adult realized it would take me two weeks to recover. What are some things that you love and admire from afar? Hit me up on twitter @akireshenri or in comments
