Quick Beauty Tip

April 29, 2013


If you are like me and you do your own nails... Then honey I must tell you that oil, if not properly removed from the nail plate prior to polish application will cause poor adhesion and peeling of the polish as well as bubbling. I dont know about you, but shoot I want my nails to last for at least a week. So wash and clean your nails well before you paint your them.

This is for all my fresh faced beauties who rock their real nails and need that nail polish to last!!! 

Always bear in mind that to touch hair when it has been fixed in place with hair spray or other hair fixatives disturbs the finish of your manicure. Many of these products contain alcohol or other solvents which will remove the gloss and damage the color appearance of the nail polish

Hair

PARNEVU Hair products a MUST HAVE!

April 23, 2013


Hey Fresh Faced Beauties… As you may already know, I don’t talk about hair often. So, tonight is the night!! If you use relaxers to help straighten your hair then this is for you.

I have recently had the chance to try out new products. Which I really needed because I am really not in  love with my current relaxer.  It seems like most relaxers would not leave my hair straight enough or it would be straight but dried out.  I’m sure many of you can relate…

Well honey, I am here to tell you there is a solution because I finally found a SUPERB relaxer that makes my hair sing if it could. Its called T-Tree No-Lye Conditioning Relaxer System by PARNEVU.  This amazing relaxer straightens your hair while eliminating dry flakes and relieves itching while leaving scalp and hair moist. This (NO LYE) relaxer contains vitamins and protein. Greater penetration of conditioning agents during each step of the application helps restore and rebuild your hair leaving it straighter, softer, shinier, and full of body.


But wait I’m not done yall… There is another product I absolutely love by Parnevu. It’s their Hair Maynnaise. It’s a treatment for weak, damaged hair and its enriched with olive oil, egg protein and organic herbs to promote healthy hair. Honey let me tell you why this Mayonnaise is the BOMB.com… it works from within the hair shaft to help strengthen fragile roots, mend split ends and moisturize dry brittle hair. Every time I use this hair mayonnaise my hair feels like it just drank a glass of water.

Pores

Q and A:

April 18, 2013


Hey yall, Here is a question from one of my fresh faced beauties…

Q: Hey Monica!! What can I do to minimize the look of my pores? And what is a good face washing regiment? ie how often should I exfoliate, do facial mask, etc. I have combination skin which on any given day can be more oily or dry depending

A: When it comes to your pores there is a pretty simple answ er for that. Just keep up with your daily skin care routine. I say this because as you get older, oils and skin cells can build up in your pores, causing them to expand. Which brings me to your next question…

A good skin care routine for combination skin includes…   
        
-Use a cream mild Facial cleanser (If you wear makeup then use a cleanser that can also take off makeup such as the facial cleanser/ makeup remover by Neutrogena Naturals) 

-Use an Oil free, lightweight facial moisturizer ( I use a moisturizer called Dew by DDF

      
-Exfoliate once a week using a scrub such as the purifying pore scrub by Neutrogena Naturals

I use a different facial cleanser when I have a few breakouts I want to quickly diminish. For that I use the Eccential-C Cleanser by Murad. It has glycolic, and rice amino acid along with vitamin, A, C and E to quickly Zap any bumps. Apply it on DRY face and let it sit for like 3 minutes, and then wash it off. The next day I’m usually happy with my results and then I go back to my regular mild cleanser due to me not being a fan of using a glycolic every day.

Well as always, I hope this helps! Please follow me via Instagram @_beautyexpert and “like” me on facebook EXPERT OF BEAUTY
