Product Review: Organix

July 31, 2012

My hair has is feeling oh so good and you know I gotta let yall know why...... The Product I'm loving at the moment is........ COCONUT MILK by Organix. The organic coconut milk and egg white protein adds strength while nourishing my hair. Honestly my hair never felt so soft. Its nice and creamy and it smells sooo good!


While I'm at it I might as well tell you what kind of Shampoo I use? 
It's also made by Organix. Its the Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo. This I also Love, Love, Love!!! First of all its Sulfate free and Paraben free which makes it safe for color treated hair.  It has Vitamin E,  Antioxidents and much much more. 
So Organix gets TWO fabulously polished nails UP!!!

Brushes

Low price yet effective!

July 19, 2012

Well hello there Beauties...I have a good question from one of my readers whom I am sure is a "Fresh Faced Diva"

Q: Who makes good quality cosmetic brushes that is less expensive?

A: I have two suggestions that I know you will love!

First I want to tell you about REAL TECHNIQUES brushes. These fabulous brushes are made by Samantha Chapman who is in high demand as a makeup artist and is a top-rated YouTube beauty guru with 40 million hits and counting that goes by the name of Pixiwoo. Well anyhoo, I love these brushes because they are made with Taklon bristles which are ultra plush and smoother than the hair you'll find in other brushes. Since taklon is synthetic, it's 100% cruelty-free. The soft fibers help create a flawless, high-definition finish in any type of light – from sunlight to harsh indoor lighting. Oh and you can get these brushes at Ulta!


Another good choice for cosmetic brushes is ECO TOOLS.  If you are into being totally green then the sleek bamboo,  recycled aluminum along with incredibly soft bristles will make you happy! Oh and they are also made with taklon bristles and are 100% cruelty-free. You can get these brushes from Ulta or Target. 


Well as always I hope this helps!

Liquid Foundation Tips

June 27, 2012

Well, I thought about it and realized I don't blog about liquid foundation much soooooo...... Here is a lil sumthing sumthing for ya!

-It's best to apply foundation 10 min. after a moisturizer. If you don't allow the moisturizer to absorb into the skin, your foundation will wear off in a matter of hours


-ALWAYS use a translucent powder to set the foundation if you have OILY skin. Take your powder compact with you to do touch ups throughout the day.
-For lasting foundation, blot your makeup with oil blotting sheets throughout the day to remove excess oil. 


-Make sure you use your fingers to blend the foundation in near your hair line and jaw bone. Your fingertips are warm and will help melt the foundation into skin for a natural blended look.

Spotlight: Beautyblender

June 25, 2012

Ok, so I found somthing really cool! Its called the BeautyBlender. I know you are probaly saying what in the world is this odd shaped pink thingy??? Well it's a sponge applicator! This makeup sponge is designed to create absolute complexion perfection. It gives you amazing coverage and blending capabilities with its easy-to-use shape and suede-like texture.
Use the wide end to blot on makeup and blend effortlessly. Or, work with the pointed end for hard-to-reach spots or delicate areas around the eyes. There's no foundation line or eyeshadow crease that can hide from the beautyblender sponge's super-blending powers.
Oh and I can't forget to mention that Allure gave this pink thingy
its stamp of approval so you know this is hot!
