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…

I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…

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…
