This is a pretty sheer nail polish to me. This is how it looks with two coats. Not bad. It may be my new go-to nudish nail polish!

Napoleon Perdis on Hautelook

I went crazy! Bought 9 items plus one from Stila. Lord knows I don't need anymore makeup!!! But I couldn't resist!! Very pretty nail polishes! Which is pretty much all I bought (only $4!!) and some lashes that look gorgeous! Very reasonable prices this time around!

Six months Post Relaxer...!!!

All I have to say is not perming my hair is one of the best decisions I ever made!!

It was a MISSION washing this bush but it's sooo worth it. I can't wait to show you guys what it looks like flat ironed!

Freetress Equal Rampage Girl- I Found My Blonde!

2012-02-11T15:36:00.001-05:00

I am really feeling this wig guys! It is from Freetress Equal. Purchased at divatress.com. I am very very satisfied with this website and their service. When I was looking for the wig in this particular color, they are the only ones that had it. It shipped out the same day and arrived 2 days after. Two thumbs up!!! I bought the wig in a 2/8/28

The only thing I don't like about this wig is the texture of the hair, which I am not sure can be helped. It is very synthetic-like. I will give it a flour bath to take away some of the shine.

The wig is constructed nicely. It has a large comb in the front and two medium sized combs in the back. And a drawstring! I love drawstrings. It takes away the need for bobby pins!

For blending, I opted for a headband because my hair is pretty much natural underneath and I stay with my hair braided now. I sprayed some water on it and slicked it down with some ORS edge control. I will keep you all updated on how this wig holds up. Enjoy the video!

Wig Haul!!

2012-02-10T19:45:00.001-05:00

Blackhairspray recently had a sale. I got carried away there and at Divatress. Here are some of the reviews I will be doing very soon.

Should I go natural??

2012-02-05T13:46:00.002-05:00

Well, it's decision time! My last relaxer was last July or August. During my last co wash, those permed ends were just breaking off. I can't decide if I want to big chop though. Y'all know how it is!! However, I think I have found a successful way to maintain my hair in its natural state. Here's a pic of what I'm working with. Y'all better not call me Miss Ceelie!!

EURO COLLECTION CHINA BANG ASHANTI WIG

2012-01-15T11:51:00.008-05:00

One word to describe this wig-- synthetic. I initially tried this wig because long ago, I saw it in Ateyaaa and I wanted to try the China bang style. Everyone seemed to like it on me, except me. The texture of the wig is like baby doll hair. I have a problem with that. And the wig is pretty thin. I purchased it in a #1 I believe and it was one of the first full wigs I have ever worn. I did like the layers in the wig. It stopped about bra strap length. It did not last very long, but that's probably because I stopped wearing it altogether after a few days. Good try but not for me. I don't really like how I look with these bangs. I felt like it swallowed my entire face. Better luck next time!

Where you can buy:

Cheapest option, Amazon of course (via elevate styles).

OMG BECKY! I want this hair!

Freetress Equal Lace Front Wig: Jackie

2012-01-14T15:09:00.001-05:00

Hello all. This is one of my favorite wigs! I need to repurchase it! I got it in a 4/30 and it was my first time experimenting with a lighter color.

This wig had to grow on me. I was not crazy about it the first time wearing it but I received so many compliments on it. It complimented my skin tone so well. As far as the quality of they wig-- it is synthetic. This wig lasted me an extremely long time, but only because I did not wear it continuously everyday and did not sleep in it.

There was adequate amount of parting space for the wig to seem realistic. I did not use any tape or glue, just the combs and straps. I believe I purchased it from my local BSS but you can easily find it at hairsisters, clairhair, or whatever hair website you prefer.

Here is the video for live action of this hair!

2012-01-07T14:02:00.002-05:00

Alright guys... I am going to do this review now. I have to say I am disappointed in the shedding this wig displayed. I have worn this wig for roughly a month. Watch the vid and I will post pics below of me in it so you can see how it looked before it got ratchet.

Here are a few snapshots of the wig... It was so gorgeous when I first got it and I could not keep my hands out of it! So many compliments, but short lived :-(

That Ish Don't Work!

I want my money back! Most importantly, I am disappointed with Megatek. My hair didn't seem to like it as much as I thought it would.

Other stuff is gels and makeup wipes. See video for more info!

Naked vs. Naked 2 Palette

2011-12-10T18:06:00.006-05:00

Hello everyone! I just wanted to show you guys my very first look with the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay and do a tiny comparison.

For this look, I used Chopper on the lid, Pistol on the inner crease, Blackout on the outer crease, and Bootycall on the brow bone. I am already in love with this palette! However I'm not so crazy about the packaging :-/
It's cute but I prefer the magnetic closure over the hard, metal case.

This nail polish really puts me in the holiday spirit!

This nail polish I received in my Birchbox, Zoya's Izzy. I would describe it as a metallic pink.

And finally I found a way to keep my nail polish on the entire week without chipping! Here's what I did

July 2011

Hello guys,

Back in the day I used to be very much into Hairlista. While there, I learned a few techniques to take care of and grow my hair. One of them was the Greenhouse Effect. It is very simple and can be manipulated to your liking.

Sensationnel Empress Natural Lace Front Wig Linda

HEY HEY HEY!

I have had this unit for quite a while. She lasted me a good three months with on and off wear. I think I even still have her stashed in my hair bag somewhere. I think I originally purchased it from hairsisters or clairhair, not sure. Even though it only had a smidge of lace, it works. I was not a fan of the laced nape. It was kind of itchy. I would definitely rebuy and/or recommend to friends.

Here are some photos:

So I cut her up. Layed the Smacketh down on her. She still needs some work. I am thinking about some kind of spray paint, but I am not familiar with it really, plus the upkeep... If it was human hair, I would just dye it! But she does look better than she did before

Nars Bad Influence

2011-11-16T14:36:00.003-05:00

I am on the fence about this nail polish. I love the way it looks but it is practically the same color as me!! It looks like hot chocolate. I like the color in just not sure how it looks on me. Skin on top of skin?? Lol what do you guys think?

Take a gander at this hair! I am really liking this particular piece. What ya'll think about it?

So far so good, I haven't worn it out yet, just showing how it looks right out of the package. I bought it from hairsisters but I don't see it there anymore. I suppose they sold out already. I do see it on Blackhairspray and Hairwigharlem though.
