Just wanted to share another cute updo and 'face of the day' (fotd). I thought this look came out super cute. The purple was inspired by the beautiful colors found on my top from hm.com. I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it! Anywho, here's the look:
COMMENT BELOW AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT A TUTORIAL ON THIS HAIRSTYLE :-D
Often times when I get bored I "play" in my makeup and my hair...to ugh, work on my skills Lol. I've owned the lipstick Vegas Volt by Maccosmetics.com for quite some time now BUT I didn't feel like it looked cute on me. I knew I didn't want to get rid of it so I needed to find a way to make it work. Soo, I was inspired by the color of the lippie to do an updo and bold eye. From the eye look, to the lips to the hairstyle. I think it kind of gives off a retro feel. What you do think?? Here are some photos I put up on Instagram ;)
Rihanna, the most talented singer/performer out, has teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to formulate a lipstick that will be sure to sell out within minutes! The lippie, cleverly named RIRI Woo, will be available May 2, 2013 12pm EST online at MAC Cosmetics. The lipstick is a retro matte cool red shade similar to MAC's popular color, Rubywoo. This shade is Rihanna's signature look and can be spotted on the singer numerous times.
Thankfully, Rihanna will be coming out with other shades throughout 2013. But, it is a must I get my hands on RIRI Woo tomorrow!! Set your alarms ladies, because this one won't last long!!
The lipstick retails for $15 online at MAC Cosmetics. It will also be available at Brooklyn's Barclays Center at Rihanna's concert (popup store). CHECK OUT MY REVIEW VIDEO FOR RIRIWOO BELOW:

So I was sent a few sample size products to review for a lovely young lady by the name of Dasia Handy. Initially, I was a little apprehensive because I try not to use a lot of different products on my tresses; and because my hair tends to feel dried out I didn't want to use a new product that I was unfamilar with. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try!!
The founder of this amazing brand, Sincere-Ly Naturale Apothecary, greeted me through email and was very thorough in her presentation. She was able to fully explain her products, its claims for each product and directions for each use. Ms. Handy sent me a questionaire to answer a few specific questions about my hair and skin to gain a better understanding of which products would work best for me and my hair.
As you can see from the pic above of the site, you can see how well packaged all the items are; which, to me shows how much attention and care was taken when making these products. Her products are often described as "luxuries" and I agree that when using them you feel like you are using something that can only be used if you shell out a lot of money. Not the case here!
Here are the products that were sent to me:
Grande Riche Champu Bar in Royale Rose
Champu Bar packaging
Luxe Silk Milk
Tacuma & Pinque Rose Moisturiser
The champu bar used in conjunction with the milk and moisturiser gave my hair great results! My hair was shiny and bouncy and my twistout definition was awesome! My only regret is that I did not try the products alone (i.e. the champu and different styling aid or the styling aids separately, etc.) Initially the smell of the moisturiser and hair milk but after using it a 2nd time I realized it wasn't actually bad and I grew to love it! ^_^
Take a look at this video if you want to see how my hair looked after removing my twists.
I was NOT paid to complete this review. I was sent a few sample size items to try out the products and provide an honest review. I have given you my honest feedback on these products.***
