BET ComicView Showcase

I used to love watching ComicView on BET *cues soundtrack* every week night and I was sad when they discontinued the program. Now I know Kevin Hart tries to host some comedy show of the sort, but it will never be like when Bruce Bruce was the host.
Anyways, I receive emails from the Improv on when big comedians come into town and when I got word that the Houston Improv were hosting the ComicView auditions, I was immediately interested. I want to watch the acts, merely because I love to laugh, and I want to see if these amateurs bring their A game, since it will be quite embarrassing if no one laughs at their jokes.

At first I didn't know what to wear, but I do know the attire to comedy clubs and things alike are usually casual. So I opted for a cute blouse, black skinnys and my nude ankle straps.  Overall, I enjoyed myself and I laughed so hard last night, my cheeks are sore! I managed to snap some quick photos from the night.

Top 9 Summer Lipstick Shades.

 The scorching sun decided to show its face, continuously...must mean it's summertime! Since my lipstick craze, I've been attracted to smooth or creme-like lipstick finishes. It is only when I'm feeling bold, or myself rather, when I grab for a matte shade.


I decided to do a Top 9, although I know that's an old number, but that's what I chose to do! The great thing about my picks are they are all affordable! They are either from the local drugstore or a BSS. Below are the lipstick swatches on my arm.

 I'm going to go in the order of the swatches of my arm for the swatches on my lips. I will include the specs of the lipstick.
