"Baby let your hair hang down!"

Hey guys!

Sorry I have been gone for soooo long! I have been really busy lately.

I got the "Pureology Texture Twist" a few weeks ago from my local news. Every friday my local news station offers coupons for free products on their website. I entered to get a free bottle of the "Texture Twist" and forgot about it never thinking that it would actually ever come. I didn't think about it anymore and a few weeks later it popped up in the mail and I was really surprised. I washed my hair last night and used it for the first time and I really like it. The product comes out as a thick paste and it smells amazing! The product reduces frizz and makes my hair soft and easy to manage.

Alexander McQueen

Hey guys,

So I am here to talk about a very sad subject. I am sure that you all know that yesterday the very talented designer Alexander McQueen took his own life. My mother called me yesterday morning to let me know what happened. When she told me, I told her that a few years ago he had a collection for M.A.C. My mom has a CCO in her building and so she went down there with my dad and got me two of the eyeshadows from his collection because when the collection was out I didn't get anything from it. I got the colors "Haunting" and "Nile", which are both satins.

I am so saddened by this news.

There goes Alice, right down the rabbit hole!

Hey guys!

So first of all I would like to start this post of by saying...GO SAINTS!! WHO DAT??

Ok, so I want to tell you guys about a product that I saw today that I really want. I went to Sephora to take back my "Too Faced shadow insurance" and pick up an "Urban Decay Primer Potion." I love "Too Faced",but this product just didn't work for me. While I was at Sephora I saw the " Disney Alice in Wonderland Palette. This product is amazing!! On the top there is a pop up picture of a scene from the movie, and inside there are 16 eyeshadows, a mini primer potion, and two mini "24/7 eye pencil in zero and flipside." The colors are BEAUTIFUL and the palette is simply amazing. There is only one problem, it is $55. I will get paid from a job I did this weekend, and if it is enough, I am going to get this palette.

You can buy this at "Sephora.com" or in "Sephora" stores

Get ready...here comes summer!!

Hey guys!

So summer is right around the corner (and you know what that means) time to get fit for those swimsuits. I will be providing tips on how to get fit for summer every now and then, (because I need to get back into shape also). I wanted to talk about some different types of swimsuits, and let you guys know that now is the time to get your bathing suits because they are a lot cheaper now then they will be in a few months.

The first type of swimsuit that I will talk about is the tankini. The tankini is the type of swim suit, with regular bottoms and a long tank top style top.

The next type is the stylish one piece, the one piece is always classy and classic. I highly recommend having one of these in your collection.

There is also the bikini, the bikini can vary, but it is usually the more stringy version of the two piece.

I consider the two piece different from the bikini because it is usually less stringy and can have a halter top or a different type of top.

I hope this helps!

If you just "Blinc" you might miss it!

Hey guys!

I recently got the "Blinc" liquid eyeliner that is known for coming off with warm water and pressure alone. I really like this eyeliner. The packaging is very nice and it almost looks like the product that is now on the market that is supposed to make your eyelashes grow. I got the eyeliner in black and at first it is a rather soft black, but with more layers, the color becomes darker. The liner has a long brust and it is a lot more pencil like compared to "L'oreal linear intense", which I like.

I really like this product because all of it really does come off with water and pressure, leaving behind no residue. The product will only come off with warm water and can't be remove from crying or rubbing your eyes. If you have the $24 dollars to spend, I would HIGHLY recommend this product, it is very high quality.

"Too Faced"-horrible quality in a friend, GREAT in your make-up

Hey Guys!

Ever since I have started using primer I have used "Urban Decay Primer Potion." I love that primer, but I went to "Sephora" a few days ago because I needed some more. I was all set to get my replacement and then my mom told me that I might want to try something different for a change. I told her that I had heard a lot about "Too Faced Shadow Insurance" and I wanted to try it. I used the tester on the back of my hand and the consistency was great so I decided to go ahead and try it.

GREAT PRODUCT!

This is an amazing primer and it keeps my eye shadow free of fading and creasing all day long. The primer blends right into my skin and leaves no residue or flaking. I love this product and I highly recommend it.

"One beauty kit to go please!"

Hey guys!

I recently got some products from "IMAN", a cosmetics company which specializes in rich, deep, beauiful tones and colors. Yesterday was the first time that I ever used these products so I was very excited! I honestly have nothing but good things to say about these products, they are very high quality.

First, I looovee the packaging of all of the products. Everything is so compact and ready to go, which is great for me. I am always rushing to get out of the house in the morning so with these products I am able to pick up what I need and get going.

Second, I love the lip products! I got three lipsticks in: "Red", "Oh Natural", and " Bare Bronze." I also got three lip glosses in: "Honey", "Chocolate Diamond", (which is my personal favorite), and "Impetuous." The "Red" lipstick is really impressive because it is true to its name. A lot of the time you will see a lipstick and it is supposed to be red and it will end up being a peach or a burnt oragne color once you apply it. Not this one. This lipstick is a very true read with an extremely creamy and smooth texture. Next is "Oh Natural", this color is a beautiful nude color that looks great under any of the lipglosses or on its own. This is a great color to pair with any dramatic eye look. Last is the "Bare Bronze", which is a beautiful soft metalic color that is similar to that of a penny, but not as extreme. BEAUTIFUL!

The lip glosses are all amazing but the "Chocolate Diamond" is my favorite. A dark chocolate bronze, that goes on dark and lightens up.

I also got two individual eye shadows in "Mixed Metals" and "Safari." "Mixed Metals" is two colors side by side, a pearl and a copper. "Safari" is the eye equilivent to the "Chocolate Diamond" gloss.

However, the coolest products that I got are the three "Luxury Eye Defining Powders". I got three beautiful colors: "Wicked", a dark slver/taupe, "Black Magic", a deep black with gold reflects, and "Bewitched", a bronze brown. The eye powders are so cool because they are similar to a pigment and the color last all day. The powders are very blendable and easy to work with.

I think that this is an AMAZING product line for not only women of color, but all women, and they make quality products that are fun and beautiful. If you haven't checked out "IMAN's" line, I would highly recommend it. And if you already have some of these products, buy more!
