Long Time, No Hear From.......

Well, everyone it has definitely been awhile. I disappeared but with good reason. I have moved twice, gotten married and had a beautiful baby boy. He is now 5 months old so now that I'm settled, I'm ready to jump back in head first with my reviews, makeup tips and sharing everyday experiences.  I have now decided that I want to PROFESSIONALLY do makeup sooooooooooo I've signed up for esthetician school and a few training classes. Hair is a great hobby but my passion is makeup, so that's my focus. No worries though, I will continue to review everything. That includes hair, hair products, makeup and any other beauty products. I have a few things in the lineup now so there will be quite a few posts over the next few days. Aside from that, I also want to share my journey with you all. I do this with the hope that it will help someone who plans to be a makeup artist someday. So here we go. I've missed you all but we can definitely pick up where we left off.

OOTD- SUNDAY EDITION

TODAY'S OUTFIT OF THE DAY IS ACTUALLY A SUNDAY EDITION. THIS PARTICULAR OUTFIT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WEAR TO CHURCH, COURT, BUSINESS DINNER ETC. THIS PICTURE IS ACTUALLY A FEW YEARS OLD BUT I STILL LOVE THIS OUTFIT. ITS A VERY CLASSIC, SIMPLE LOOK. THE SHIRT IS A WHITE 3/4 SLEEVE FITTED BUTTON UP THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE WORN SEVERAL WAYS BECAUSE IT HAS LONG FLAPS AT THE BOTTOM BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS LOOK I TUCKED THEM IN. IT WAS PURCHASED AT RAVE FOR $5 ON A CLEARANCE SALE. THE SKIRT IS A BLACK FITTED PENCIL SKIRT THAT I PURCHASED AT BODY SHOP A FEW YEARS AGO FOR ABOUT $10 (AS YOU CAN TELL IM A BARGAIN SHOPPER LOL) THIS SKIRT CAN BE WORN WITH A WIDE BELT OR A THIN ONE BECAUSE IT HAS TWO SETS OF BELT LOOPS. IN THIS CASE, I HAVE ON A PATENT LEATHER WAIST BELT AND THE MATCHING PEEP-TOE PATENT LEATHER HEELS. I DIDNT REALLY WEAR ACCESSORIES OTHER THAN STUD EARRINGS BECAUSE I DIDNT FEEL THE OUTFIT NEEDED IT. THIS OUTFIT IS MORE IDEAL FOR THE MORE CURVY-FIGURED WOMAN AND DOESNT LOOK AS FLATTERING ON STRAIGHT OR SQUARE SHAPED FIGURES. IF YOU WANT A DETAILED DESCRIPTION ON WHAT SKIRTS LOOK GOOD ON WHAT FIGURES JUST HIT ME UP WITH A MESSAGE AND ILL DO A POST. ALRIGHT LADIES, ENJOY........

Sensual Indian Remi Collection

after its been washed and product added. 14in #1

this is the dry afro look. it is sew in and its an 8in

Today's product review is for the Sensual Indian Remi Collection-jerry curl. I actually love this hair and I recommend it every chance I get. I normally wear this hair as a sew in. It is very easy to shampoo and maintain. When it originally comes in the pack it is straight but if you wet it it curls up. I use several products to maintain this hair depending on the look Im going for. For a wetter looking curl I use jerri curl activator and mousse. For a drier, afro type of curl I use Mixed Chicks. Once you've worn it curly if you want it straight again I suggest shampooing, then blow drying and then flat ironing. I definitely recommend that you also use some sort of heat protectant. This hair is relatively affordable depending on your budget. It runs anywhere from $35-$50 a pack depending on the length. If you live in St Pete this hair can be purchased at Fat Boys Beauty Supply. If you live in Tampa it can be purchased at King's Beauty Supply on Busch blvd. It is also available in a body wave and indian wave but the jerri curl, by far, is my favorite. It is available in the basic colors #1,#1b, #2, #4. Anything lighter than this you would have to color it yourself, which shouldnt be a problem because this hair colors very easily. Alright let me know how you like it, divas. Enjoy.........

the hair in its straight form. i manually curled it at the end with a big barrel curling iron.
this 14&16in in #1b

OOTD- YELLOW SUN DRESS

TODAY'S OUTFIT OF THE DAY IS A YELLOW SUN DRESS THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM PAPAYA LAST YEAR FOR ABOUT $20. THE TOP PART OF THE DRESS IS A MUSTARD YELLOW AND IS MORE OF A STRETCHY POLYESTER/COTTON BLEND. THE BOTTOM OF THE DRESS IS DUCK YELLOW AND IT IS LINEN MATERIAL. IF YOU ARE TALL THIS IS THE PERFECT DRESS BECAUSE IT IS LONG AND I KNOW MOST TALLER WOMEN HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING LONG SUN DRESSES. I ADDED A BLACK ELASTIC WAIST BELT TO BREAK UP THE DEMENSION OF THE DRESS SO IT DOES NOT LOOK SO LONG. I AM WEARING BLACK SANDALS WITH A BIG RHIMESTONE ON THE TOP. AS FAR AS ACCESSORIES IM WEARING A MULTI-CHAIN NECKLACE THAT WAS $10 AT WET SEAL, PEARL EARRINGS AND A SILVER FITTED BANGLE. PERFECT OUTFIT FOR A SUMMER DAY. ENJOY LADIES.......

SHORT HAIR STYLING OPTIONS

I HAVE FOUND THAT WITH THE TYPE OF HAIR CUT I HAVE IT IS EASY TO DO DIFFERENT STYLES. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE WHEN MY HAIR WAS LONG I FELT LIKE WITH SHORT HAIR I WOULDNT HAVE MUCH VERSATILITY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE OPPOSITE. WITH MY SCHEDULE AS OF LATE, I HAVE BEEN PRETTY MUCH ROCKING THE SAME STYLE. JUST BECAUSE IT MADE LIFE SIMPLE. THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT I DECIDED TO SWITCH THINGS UP WITH A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ROLLER SET. ROLLER SETS ARE MY FAVORITE THING TO DO NO MATTER WHAT THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR IS. IT JUST SEEMS TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING A SHORT CUT WAY TO DO ROLLER SETS,GO TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL KINGDOM BEAUTY(SIMPLY PUT) AND I HAVE SEVERAL TUTORIALS ON ROLLER SETS. WELL, FOR THIS ONE IT WAS THE SAME CONCEPT JUST SHORTER HAIR AND SMALLER ROLLERS. IM POSTING PICS BELOW SO YOU CAN SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS JUST HIT ME UP. BY THE WAY, THIS STYLE WILL LAST ME FOR ABOUT A WEEK. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT MIGHT LAST LONGER BUT I HAVE NEVER WORN IT FOR LONGER THAN THAT SO ALL I CAN SPEAK FOR IS A WEEK LOL. ALRIGHT LADIES ENJOY.......

COPY CAT LOL.....

JUST SOME PICS OF MY SISTER'S MAKEUP. WE WERE BORED AND FOOLING AROUND AND THIS WAS THE END RESULT. I BASICALLY JUST COPIED THE DESIGN ON HER NAILS WHICH WAS DONE AT LEANN'S ON 9TH ST IN ST PETE. ENJOY............................................................
 

PRODUCT REVIEW......ORGANIC NATURAL (ON NATURAL HAIR)

     Now that I'm natural, anybody that really knows me, knows that I will probably be collecting more products than I should. I'm just curious when it comes to this kind of stuff so I'm sure Ill have my fair share of reviews to do. Today's review is for the product ON- Organic Natural. I have a sample size of the bottle and from what the girl at the store tells me that's all the company sells for this product. Anyway its to create curls or waves for natural and synthetic weaves but I wanted to try it for my natural hair and it worked great. I used it yesterday when I first purchased it but I already had product on my hair so I couldn't tell how well it worked. So this morning I shampooed and deep conditioned my hair and I applied it to my wet hair and it worked great. My hair looks wet but it is completely dry. The curls lasted all day and it doesn't feel like a lot of product in my hair. Which is good because Mixed Chicks leaves it a little crispy. It smells really fresh and clean also. Not greasy at all. This product comes in three different formulas but the formula I used was avocado. It also contains shea butter, aloe vera, olive, jojoba and vitamin e.  I purchased this at King's Beauty Supply in Tampa for two dollars which is an excellent price but the down side to that is after a few uses(literally three) the bottle is almost gone. That is absolutely my only complaint with this product. If anyone knows where to purchase a regular size bottle please let me know. So basically, I give this product 5 stars! If you have kinky-curly coarse hair like mine your hair will love this product. Enjoy.........................
