2011-03-23T10:00:00.003-04:00

Why do women wear hair extensions (i.e, weaves, tracks)? This question has been asked many times before by both men and women (predominately men).

Long hair, don't care. The natural hair transition was a fail. I'm not ready to make the change as of yet. I realized it only after a week of trying. Hopefully, I'll get over it sooner than later but until then I'm loving my long curly tresses. Last week, I went to Nordstrom in search of Deborah Lippman's Razzle Dazzle nail polish, it was sold out so I got Ruby Red Slippers instead and it's

Play Up Your Lower Lash Line

Who said you can't rock vibrant liners & shadows on just your lower lash line? I did it using various shades of blue. You can choose to create this with your favorite eye / lip liner and eye shadow. This is a simple, fun way to make

Pro Longwear Lipcreme lipstick in Overtime As much as I love pink lipstick I have to be honest, this product felt like I was putting in overtime trying to get this lip color to work for me.The consistency is creamy but after a while it gives off a rather dry look opinion and the color (on me) comes off as more of an ashy than creamy pink.However, it does last hence the name "Pro
