You know when you stop using something (because you’re a product junkie) and the next time you reach for it you ask yourself, “Why did I ever stop using that?“ Can’t just be me. I have this relationship with every Silicon Mix product I have ever used. Silicon Mix is a Dominican hair product and is very effective on naturally…

So I am just terrible at feeding my hair protein, which is a huge no-no. I have been wanting to try a hair mask for some time and the Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus mask (for very distressed hair) had very good reviews on Amazon so I pulled the trigger. I wasn’t terribly fond of the smell when I opened…

I just can’t get enough… I just can’t get enough… This is Kat Von D. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw ($19.00). If I had my way, I’d get more of these, but I need to chill out. I went into the store (Sephora) to see what the difference was between Outlaw and Underage Red. From what I could tell (and…

What you’ll need: Concealer: whatever you generally use. I prefer something with a pan as they usually last longer. Concealer brush: use a brush more stiff and pointy rather than fluffy. Setting/foundation powder: a pressed setting powder is best for this. Powder brush: anything you already have and fluffy. Hairspray: whatever you have around; this can be any type of…

I started out making a video with this wig, but as the cold weather has set in proper lighting has been sparse. I just cannot find a sweet spot in my place, but I a working on it. So this wig is bob-a-licious. This is Violet from the Outre Quick Weave Eco Wig collection. I am not sure what’s up…

So far, I am very pleased with Topshop’s cosmetics line. I was looking for a new nude lip product and Topshop’s Lips in Mink ($12.00) does the trick for me. For me, this is a true nude. I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…

In my lifetime, I have probably tried around five or six different Dominican products and brands. I have only had one bad experience, which was the shampoo and conditioner making my hair a tangled mess. As far as deep conditioning, I typically deep condition every single time I wash my hair because my hair loves and lacks moisture. By deep…

Whenever I see bobs, I get excited. This is confusing to me because I have had more luck with long hair than short hair. I would say 90% of the time I order short hair, I always feel like, ugh, why did I do that… With long hair, I can do so many things to it to get it the…

I have been through a lot of leave-in conditioners. And I mean A LOT. The best to date is the Salerm Silk Protein Leave-In conditioner. I first tried this out when I went to get a blowout at a Dominican salon in Miami about three years ago. I always try to take a gander at what the beauticians are using…

I’m in between relaxers and I don’t live near a beauty supply store. There isn’t even one near my job and I have found that I have to go out of my way to find products that suit my hair texture. As a result, I mostly order hair products online. But the other day, I put a sew-in in my…

So this is Inglot’s matte lipstick in 517. It’s a pink-mauve color and goes very well with my skin tone. Sometimes I’m afraid of matte lips– lest is washed out my skin, but this color is working well for me. Sometimes applying your makeup in artificial light doesn’t really show you what you actually look like; so I applied my…

Cargo Mendocino Blush How many of you can say that you have reached pan on ANYTHING??? Well I’m joining the club with Cargo Cosmetics Blush in Mendocino (AL-$26)! I have had this blush for at LEAST 2 years. Being a product junkie, it had never really been my go-to blush until this spring/summer. I received the blush in a Birchbox back…

Hi Guys, I wanted to share one of my favorite lipsticks with you. This is probably one of the most moisturizing lipsticks I own– hence the name Moisture Renew. It also has SPF 18, a plus. This one is from Rimmel London and it is called Dusty Rose. I purchased it because on me, or darker skin tones, it is…
