Hello Family!
This week kicks off the long-awaited product review week (that I was supposed to do last week but life happens). I'll be reviewing hair, makeup, household, and toddler products. Without further ado, let's jump right in it!
Hair review
Over the past several months, I've tried a variety of different products for my hair and Bear's. I'll separate the products into different posts so you don't get confused by all
Category: Makeup and Natural Hair Care
Today's natural hair product review comes from Tangles Out Today. Originally I purchased this for Bear's hair but as I applied it, I realized it was quite heavy for his Type 3 hair. I used it on my Type 4 hair and well, it was PERFECT! Let's get started with the review:
Consistency:
It’s a spray. Nice and light. There are several oils in this spray, so while it is light,
As you can tell by my latest blog posts, I love wearing makeup. I love experimenting with my look and coming up with all sorts of cool things. I never wore a lot of makeup in the past so a part of me does feel I'm making up for lost time but you're never too old to explore, right?
The side effect of wearing makeup is the dirty deed of
I've meant to use this meme for a while and finally found the reason for it.
Anyway, this post is about BlackUp Cosmetics. While it's catered to women of color, it's unclear if it's actually Black-owned (I heard it was and then I heard it wasn't). Recently, I test-drove their Lipshine in 08.
Here's my review:
Price:
It's pricey. It's $19. This is a splurge.
Smell:
Doesn't smell like anything and that's a great thing!
Consistency:
It
Too Faced is a new to me brand I just discovered this year by accident. I was in the mood to spend some money on makeup and voila, entered Too Faced. I've heard a lot of great things about the Melted Chocolate brand of theirs so I decided to try a new color.
First things first, let's review:
Consistency:
It goes on relatively easy.
Smell:

Gosh, I don't remember exactly when this was taken other than it was a couple of weeks ago. The day I did a braid-out with no heat (I'm really not a fan of heat and really, really don't want to use heat in the summer if I can avoid it).
So yeah..pretty happy at how big my hair is getting. I'm tempted to actually do a blowout to see the
I really love Shea Moisture. I was on the fence before but realizing what they have to offer in terms of body care, I've became a big fan.
So, let's start with the shea butter soap. It's pretty big. It's actually huge!
This is much bigger than your run of the mill soap. I was actually quite surprised how big it is. It smells very light and fragrant. It does travel
So, let's go on a journey, shall we? Let's take it back to 2014.
I just gave birth to Bear in November 2013 and was enjoying the perils and joys of motherhood. Sometime in the spring, I noticed the one thing so many have warned me about - postpartum hair loss. And not a little.
A LOT.
I was debating for a while to chop off my hair, even as far back
Summer is the time I think most women like to experiment with their looks. One, it's too hot to be doing anything heavy. Second, sun-kissed is the way to go. Let that melanin shine (and if you don't have a lot of melanin, get your tan on!).
