This was how I did my makeup for church this past Sunday. I used the Sleek Makeup Palette called Vintage Romance. It is one of my favourites as it contains two of my must have eyeshadow shades in abundance; gold and purple. I also love green eyeshadows too. Gold has become my everyday shade for work and play. Church is one of those days when I am able to leisurely play in makeup and create pretty looks. I usually shy away from using black shadow as I have found it hard to work with. This time around I was able to use it in my crease effortlessly and blend it out. … [Read more...]
Inspired By Elaine Thompson’s Olympic Win
I have been reflecting on personal wins since watching some of the Olympics. My family are Jamaican and so Jamaica always gets my support as does Great Britain where I am born and live. Upon hearing Elaine Thompson's story I was so inspired. You could say she truly started at the bottom of her field not making it on the team at school. But look at her now. She is double gold Olympian. Watch my short video below to see how much more I am inspired by her story and my own personal reflections. Please note above video is on my SoFrolushes Youtube channel and not on … [Read more...]

Jennie is pictured matched to shade 8N and Grace to shade … [Read more...]
Whitewashing Still A Thing, But Why?
I came across a youtube channel called Last Week Tonight. They have a brilliant video on debt buyers which is what brought them to my attention. It seems the debt buyers of America are similar to the ones in the UK. Whilst taking a look at their other videos I stumbled upon their offering regarding "Whitewashing". Whitewashing is a major thing in Hollywood. When roles that require a Black person or any ethnicity that is not white, these would be given to White European actors. Many in the past would don Black Face. Where they literally painted their face with what … [Read more...]
Derby Carnival Procession 2016
It was the annual Derby Caribbean Carnival Procession this past weekend. The carnival was only held on the Saturday due to cuts to the council local community funding. Normally you would get a big family day in the park with loads of music and food and activities for the kids. Hopefully next year new funding can be sourced as it is an event for everyone to enjoy. It was a still a nice family day out. The kids enjoyed themselves and the bikers were definitely a welcome surprise to view athough very noisy. The procession starts off with what has become a photo … [Read more...]
