It's A New Year, Try a new thing :)

Hey All,
I haven't written anything in a while; I have been so busy but I made some time tonight! Oh did I forget: HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope everyone's new year would be awesome and prosperous. I have something new to share and I couldn't hold it any longer...Drumroll pleasssee :) Read On>>>>>>>>
So my sister, remember I spoke about her before (the hair fanatic) introduced me to THE NATURAL MAKEUP LOOK; using the bronzer and foundation from Iman Cosmetics: One word AWESOME! Take a look at my pictures above. The bronzer paired with the foundation is great for the naturals out there whose motto is- NEVER OVERO. I love it. I will share below a little about how I did it, I know it would be much better if you see, but I'll make it as simple as possible and maybe you can try it..

1. Before applying any sort of foundation on your face, you should moisturize your face. I use sOFT & Precious (Nursery Jelly), it really keeps my face soft and smooth, but there are other moisturizers that you can buy from any beauty store, Walgreens, CVS or Duane Reade.

2. After that I apply my foundation. My foundation is by IMAN ( Yes the supermodel)
However you have to be sure you purchase the right shade for your skin. That you can find out from any makeup station, like Mac at Macy's or Sephora. They test a shade for your skin and let you know the code. From there you can proceed to buy your foundation. It is not at all costly, it is only about $15 at CVS, and by the way IMAN is excellent for darker shade girls. You must apply foundation using finger tip and smooth it over as you go, so that it blends.

3. Hello Bronzer: People the bronzer is great! It gives you this almost tanned and glowing look. It is applied to the cheeks and blended in with a make-up sponge. It is about $8-$10, depends on what store you decide to purchase it from.

4. Apply other things such as mascara, eyeliner, lipstick ; whatever you like and be sure that you're comfortable with it all. One thing I dislike is having too much make-up on and my face feels like it weighs a ton. I like it light and natural, If you do too, this is a must try.

One MORE THING: Be sure the eyebrows are done, if not the outcome might not be what you want. We all know how the eyebrows cna get.

Don't forget to comment! If you like. Tah-Tah for now: muah! Read more...

Natural Hair---- Like? Dislike?

Ok, so during the summer, I've been trying this technique called the 'braidout'. I was informed about this technique by my little sister, who happens to be a hair fanatic (maybe more than a fanatic). Anyway, with the braidout you can create the natural look that everyone seems to be rocking these days. The best part of the braid out is the fact that you're using no heat, and there is no sort of hair manipulation whatsoever... yeah that good. I mean naturally it is not my hair but I do pull off the look right?
What inspired me to write this? --- I just received my December issue of Glamour and there's an article called 'Why everyone is going natural'- As in : no straightening, no heat. Did I mention that your hair almost seem transformed after doing the braidout technique for a while; because there is no manipulation and no heat, which by the way means there is no breakage of the hair; so because there is no manipulation the hair looks healthier and thicker.
And you have to love the fact that there are less salon trips, hello less spending of your money, we could definitely use that as college students. I will outline basic steps below, you should try, even if it is for one week.

Step 1 - Wash hair as you regularly would, using shampoo and conditioner.

Step 2 - After hair is washed, you can either keep it damp or dry all the way; I prefer mine wet.
If you do choose to dry hair then moisten with conditioner.

Step 3 - Then part hair into about 6 sections and braid them tightly. To hold them in place you either use rubber bands or flexy rods; If I were you I would go with the flexy rods since they are safer. Then tie hair overnight.

Step 4 - Finally in the morning, loose braids and voila! you have a curly braidout, the natural look.

This is very easy, saves you some money and it can be styled as you desire. TRY IT! Read more...
