Product Review: Beautiful Textures line (For curly, wavy, kinky, coily & frizzy hair types)

For those of you who know me (and those who payed attention), I've been sporting my natural kinky curls for almost 4 years now. Up until now it has been a wonderful experience...no regrets whatsoever. But it has also been a constant trial and err with different curly hair products to see what works best with my type of hair... Recently I noticed the Beautiful Textures hair care line for Curly, wavy, kinky, coily & Frizzy hair. Really, it can just NOT go unnoticed with a bright orange bottle and purple cap. First Impression of the product? "Hmm, interesting. Pretty nutritive ingredients for the hair. Aloe Vera, Coconut oil, Argan Oil, Shea...

Boys and Girls

This time I have a make-up look I wore recently. I know it looks a lot like the one I called Circus, yet it's different. Go ahead, click on the name and see for yourselves... I called this one 'Boys and Girls'. Simply because my all times bestie recently gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. And while visiting her I noticed once more how everything was in the room was blue...announcing that it's a boy. An this made me think how most of the times pink will represent girls and how blue is the color used for boys. The eyelids are simply a combination of a dark pink and a blue eyeshadow. And under the eye I used a liquid eyeliner in...

Blue-mings

This time I decided to try two other unused colors in the stash. The Steel-ing my Heart from Essie and the Teal Steel from Sally Hansen I named the nail design "Blue-mings", especially because of the little pink and white flowers I added to the accent nail. I personally feel as thou my nails are just a bit too shiny for my taste...lol. But Nevertheless I'm in love with both basic colors. I think it's the combination that makes me think twice The Teal Steel is a vibrant blue with a very beautiful green-ish shine. And the Steel-ing my heart is a high shining silver color...true silver...I like that! I was going to try a more complicated...

Swatch: After Eight (Catrice)

I discovered I had several polishes in my stash that had never been used yet...not once. As I reached home last night I was physically and mentally on autopilot...but my nails were looking HORENDOUS! Totally chipped, not so vivid anymore and some broke (I need a good hardener). Some of you might just not understand, but I experience painting my nails as a moment of relaxation. So as I stepped out of the shower I laid face-down on my bed and decided upon a simple swatch. After Eight is a deep dark mossy green color with super tiny sparklish particles. Two coats, and you're ready to go! I guess after using Catrice several...

Used colors; Purple Punch (Jordana), Limestone (Sally Hansen) and Chestnut (Jordana)...ofcoursewith the white dots in White (Jordana). The...

Caramel Covered Bananas and hauling

As promised in my last post, there was another make-up look; the one I wore last Sunday. This one's called 'Caramel Covered Bananas'. I wore a dress that had beige, blue and black as the predominant colors. But in between all these deep colors, there where dashes of banana yellow, honey and purple. So I opted for yellow and bronze eyes to accentuate those colors in the dress. And this is how it turned out to be... Right from the inner corner until the half of the eyelid was made a light banana yellow tone and the outer half of the eye and the bone where given a bronzey tone. To intensify the look I tight lined the upper lid and painted...
