Here’s another awesome photoshoot with my signature red hair! I love when I finally get to do at least a couple photoshoots with my red hair & extensions. It’s always my favorite, I love it. Today I have an awesome photoshoot to show you that I did over the last week, called ‘RUN IT BACK‘ after one of my favorite songs from my favorite playlist, Convenience Fee! This is a super awesome shoot with this long black shirt I found one time, with a white design on the front & sparkles. It also says ‘SoCal’ on it which is pretty cool, which obviously refers to Southern California. It’s such a cool shirt and I love how it fits me. I also wore it with these cool black thigh highs that I made when I was like 15 from black tights that I cut, and they’re awesome thigh highs! I wore these cute black studded boots with them as well and of course gold jewelry like always. I love that I’ve been still wearing all of my gold jewelry for the last few months or more, that’s been super awesome to me. I also love that this outfit is like mostly all black, but kind of black & white, with my bright red hair extensions! Plus, I thought my lipgloss was perfect for this outfit. I also really love it when a bunch of things in life come together in the way they do, too, I thought this outfit was a good idea for now & my life is doing pretty awesome too which I really love. I can’t wait to see what’s next with everything happening for me, I’ve been doing so well and getting better with everything all the time too! This shoot turned out pretty good, too & I love the outfit so so much. ‘RUN IT BACK’ also means ‘to repeat or do something again’ which I love & think is awesome. The song I’m referring to is also really good, I’ll talk more later about why I think that song is perfect & goes with this shoot & everything so well too. This is the perfect name for this photoshoot though, for sure, too. Let’s get into the rest of the post, continue reading!

I always love when I do photoshoots for my playlist-inspired series, Convenience Fee. I first got the idea to name a photoshoot Convenience Fee back in 2021, where I then ended up writing it on my whiteboard because I wanted to do something with that name & theme. That lead me to doing my first post for the series, of course called Convenience Fee back in October 2021, which turned out super awesome & I loved it. After that, I ended up loving the name and concept a lot, and thought it was cool so I made a playlist on my phone with the same name, and it became this concept of mine! It’s my favorite playlist to this day, and also my most played from the last couple of years, and is also the longest playlist I’ve ever had basically with 236 songs right now. So, after that, I finally ended up deciding to do more about the concept on my blog a little more than half a year later too, around this time last year. I started finally doing photoshoots that were each inspired by the playlist in some way, naming a bunch of them after songs on the playlist and things like that! Last year I also did like 4-5 photoshoots & posts named after songs and inspired by the playlist and everything, and then this year I’ve already done like 5 more at least but I’m ramping up to do these more often and stuff too. I’ve been getting more into it and wanting to do posts for this series more often, which has been pretty cool! I have a bunch of songs from the playlist in mind that I want to do shoots for soon, but hopefully I can do those soon, too, that would be awesome! I love being inspired like that, it’s totally awesome. This one was a really good idea, I loved that this song was a totally awesome one to name this outfit & photoshoot! In another paragraph later I’ll get more into the song & everything because I thought it fit perfectly with this shoot, & I love when that happens. That’s super cool, I always love my ‘Convenience Fee’ concept & series so so much. I’m excited to finally get into this photoshoot too!

Outfit Details for my ”RUN IT BACK” Photoshoot:

• ‘SoCal’ white graphic long black t-shirt that I wore as like a dress basically by SoCal. I actually ended up finding this shirt on the side of the road with a bunch of stuff to get rid of a couple years ago!
• Black thigh-highs that I made from black tights when I was, like, 15 to make my own thigh highs. These are still so awesome & I love them. I forgot about them for a second and then found them.
• Studded high-heeled boots with purple underneath from the brand Toi et Moi that my mom gave me a super long time ago, I’ve had them for years. I also wore them in Convenience Fee & Hackney too!
• 14kt Gold Tinkerbell Necklace by Disney Couture that I got from Little Black Bag in 2012! It’s a pretty gold necklace & I’ve always liked this one. I also wore it in 2022’s Know My Worth which was cool.
• Dainty gold butterfly necklace that I got from Rocksbox in 2018. This is one of my favorite necklaces, I wear it a lot & I wore it in ‘Burn Up The Floor’, GOLDWING, Illumination & Missy Understood.
• Gold & black heart necklace that I got from like Goodwill or something in 2019. Also, a rose gold-ish ‘One Day At a Time’ bracelet that my mom got for me in like 2021 as well, which is a good bracelet.
• Three rose gold rings on my left hand including a chain one on my thumb, a big cross-over band one on my pointer finger, and an opal one on my middle finger. It’s crazy how many rose gold rings I have!
• Two gold half-hoop cuff-type earrings on each side, one pair sparkly & one pair not, that I got in a pack of earrings from Buckle in like 2021 in-store. These are pretty cute, I like to wear them together too.

• Natalie Eva Marie 22″ TestaRossa Bright Red Hair Extensions $290 from Bellami Hair which are like my favorite extensions ever, I love getting to use these! Also check out my ‘Red Hair’ category also.
• Titanium Curling Wand 25mm (or 1-inch) by Complex Culture that I got from Ipsy like, last month, also. This is a pretty awesome curling iron & I got it for such a good deal! I love that I got this one.
• Flora Eau De Toilette Perfume 3.3 oz by Gucci that I got in like 2017 for Christmas, but I’m almost out of this perfume! I really love this one though, but that’s okay. This was good for this shoot anyway.

Makeup Details for ”RUN IT BACK” on June 29th, 2023:

• Pink Lipps Cosmetics Soft Matte Primer $18 which I got from Ipsy like at the end of last year. This is a pretty good primer & I like the texture of it! It’s different than my others, too, which is also cool.
• Jecca Blac Liquid Concealer $15 in the shade 2.0 that I got in my Ipsy bag a year ago, last June, but I still have a little bit of it left! It’s a pretty good full coverage concealer, I’ve liked having this one.
• Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Luminous Matte Foundation $60 in the shade B40 Sand which is also a really good foundation. I always love YSL Beauty, they’re an awesome brand overall, too, as well.
• Basic Beauty Translucent Setting Powder $26 I really love this setting powder, it has this baby pink hue to it & it’s really pretty on! I got this a couple months ago from Ipsy & it’s one of my favorites.
• Pacifica Beauty Bronzed Rose Blush + Bronzer Duo $13 in the shades Wildrose & Desert that I got from Ipsy a long time ago! This is a pretty good duo that I have been using a lot lately as well, too.
• Benefit Cosmetics High Beam Liquid Highlighter $21 which is a really pretty liquid highlighter that I’ve had for a really long time. I got it from Sephora back in the day and it looked really good here!
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion $27 in the shade Original. This is usually, like, my favorite eyeshadow primer. I use this one a lot, I’ve even been using it on & off since, like, even 2011 or so.
• MAC Cosmetics Melon Pigment $25 a shimmery gold pigment that I used for an eyeshadow this time, it’s a pretty good pigment. I have had this for so long, I got it in store when I was younger!
• Ofra Cosmetics Exquisite Eyeshadow $12 which is a sparkly black single eyeshadow I got from Ipsy in like 2019 or so, & it’s a magnetic pan one. I love this eyeshadow, it’s in my Ittsē Palette $24 too.
• Qveen Studio Dragon Duo $28 a black eyeliner duo that I got from Ipsy earlier this year. It includes a wax eyeliner pencil & a liquid liner as well, both called ‘Dragonliners’. I love how this duo looks.
• Ardell False Lashes $6 at least I think these are my Ardell ones. This was the last time I used these though, too, I had them for a really long time. I used Duo’s Brush-On Lash Adhesive $5 with them.

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Primer $16 which I finally tried using as a lip primer for lip gloss for the first time, since it says you totally can. I thought that would be cool, with extra hydration as well.
• Kylie Cosmetics So Cute Lip Gloss $15 one of my favorite lipglosses right now! It looked so good on me here & I really love this one a lot. I bought it back in 2016 but they don’t sell this one anymore.
• Formula Z Cosmetics Unisexy Setting Spray $26 which I got a few months ago in my Ipsy box since I wanted to try a new setting spray. This one is pretty decent, I like it and it’s pretty refreshing also.

‘Run It Back by Shoreline Mafia ft. 03 Greedo‘ is this cool song I found back in like February, from like, my friend, and it’s a really awesome rap song that I listen to a lot. I of course play it a lot on the playlist and everything too, it’s such a good song for that playlist & I really love it! It has good lyrics, too & I also really love the last verse, it has a really cool drop, but the whole song drops really cool throughout it too! I love the entire song and everything too. After I found it, it also became one of my favorite songs to play once in a while because it was perfect. The album cover for this song is also black & white which is cool, so I thought my black and white album worked perfectly with that. Plus, in my favorite verse, that guy says ‘I don’t trust ’em, that’s a code red‘ which goes with my hair. But I of course love the beat and everything of this song, too. It goes so perfectly with my playlist, I’m glad I have this song! I love music so much & I’m really into it sometimes, and I was so glad I had this song on this playlist to do this photoshoot with. I hope I can do more to do with this playlist soon because there’s some really good songs on that playlist! We’ll see what I end up doing, but this one was so perfect too.

These days have been going pretty good for me with everything! I still have been going to the club every weekend and whatever with my best friend Kwame, and we’ve been doing that every weekend since February! I end up wearing a lot of cool outfits there, too, which I love. This outfit was kind of inspired by more of what I’ve been wearing these days too, & it was a more ‘inspired’ outfit than I usually do in a bunch of ways! This shirt is really just a long shirt, but I decided I wanted to wear it with the thigh highs for this photoshoot because I loved that. I ended up wearing this outfit with a big jacket to an NA meeting! The jacket was the perfect temperature, almost, too, despite being big but it didn’t have sleeves. However, I’m still inspired and want to wear cuter outfits like this more often, because I’m getting into that more which is awesome! So we’ll see how that goes, hopefully I end up doing that more and more & that it turns out awesome. This was a really good outfit though and I thought it went perfectly with these boots that I love, I always love my high-heeled boots & booties. This was a pretty good outfit especially, but also photoshoot, and I’m glad I’m getting to be more inspired these days all the time, it’s good creative motivaton! Here’s the last mini-collage, with only 6 pictures. All of the other collages had 11 pictures, which turned out super perfect, and then the rest. I love that I did this photoshoot on my bed with the two cute colorful blankets, I always love my colorful cheetah blanket! It was good contrast with the photoshoot as well. Now, here’s the rest of it!

That’s finally it for this blog post, that one was a good one! I thought that turned out pretty awesome & I’m glad I was able to get up a third post basically for the month of June. I always try to do shoots with my red hair while it still matches my extensions perfectly, because I need to do as many of them that I can with my red hair! Especially because I really love it too. You can check out all of my red hair photoshoots in this category on my blog, too, which I think is super cool. I try to do as many of these as I can but I also love fading & transitioning my hair into the faded blonde sometimes, also! That’s cool to me, too, but I really love the red hair a lot and I always love doing photoshoots with it because it’s super awesome. This one turned out perfect, at least I did a couple pretty awesome ones this time with the bright red hair, and thanks so much for checking me out this time too. I’ll see everyone in July for the next blog posts I’ll be doing, and that’ll be so cool as well, thanks again and see you later!

The song of the photoshoot is like I kept mentioning also, of course, ‘Run It Back by Shoreline Mafia ft. 03 Greedo‘!
