This is Why I Will Never Use Pantene’s Curling Custard

I recently learned a valuable lesson - just because a brand is particularly good in a few areas, they aren't necessarily good at everything. Oh, Pantene...why thou forsake me and turn my hair into paper? Yeah, it's that bad. Let's begin... The Consistency: For what it's worth, it's creamy and smooth. It does smell great. The Cost: Very cheap. I paid a little over $6 for this one. It's available pretty much everywhere. The Routine: I used it

Is Pure-Licious Sensational for Your Curls?

I'm on a mission to try as many conditioning washes (otherwise known as cowash) as possible. Even ones I'm not sure about. Even ones I never heard about. Even ones I love so I can just spread the word. Yeah, I get like that when I see a new product I want to try. I recently tried Creme of Nature's Pure-Licious Co-Wash. I'm familiar with the Creme of Nature brand as I've

Can You Be In the Nude?

As I've been experimenting more with my lips, I found that I have a small penchant for the nude lippy. The barely-there-but-we-can-all-tell-you're-wearing-something-on-your- lips-and-OMG-I-so-want-that-look color. So, there are three nude-ish colors in my arsenal that I like. Let's start - NYX Praline   It gives a shimmer color and it goes on very smooth. I like this because it has brown undertones that highlight the golden ones in my skin. NYX Rome This is a new

Finding the Perfect Leave-In Can Be Hard Work

One thing many naturalistas can agree on is how hard it can be to find the perfect leave-in. As you journey more on your natural hair care journey, you find what used to work for you, may not. Something that may be sworn up by many women, may have blah results for you.

How Giving Fantastic Lip Will Change Your Life!

This past weekend, I decided to play with my makeup a tad. So let's start off with the first product review, which is the Raizin blush by MAC. Now, I've never really been partial to blushes. Not that I love or hate them, but I've been been pretty indifferent to them. It's one of those things I don't have to have in my makeup harmony. But it's okay. I can't

Hair Milk: Splendiferous Miracle or Full of It?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="250"] Click on the picture to purchase[/caption] To be honest, I wanted to use splendiferous in a title for a while now. I'm not trying to show off my SAT score from way back when. I just like unusual words. Hello family. How are you? I hope you're doing well. Today, I'm reviewing Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. This is a product that is used to refresh curls, coils, and kinks and

NYX’s Black Cherry Tart is full of YASSSSSS!

Let me start this review by stating something that may not be important to you, but it is to me. I have a milk chocolate skin tone. That means I either match or am close to a Hershey bar (I use to match it but now I'm a tad bit lighter than it). I also have gold undertones. That being said, sometimes makeup and/or hairstyles that would look amazing

Natural Hair Care Review: Shea Moisture

I'm not a fan of Shea Moisture. Nothing against them but I never had any of their products move me. I believe that something might be great for one but doesn't do anything for another. It's amazing how one product will change all of that. I've been looking for a new shampoo since my hair is quickly growing and I need something more for it. While the L'Oreal EverCurl worked great
