ICING Chip Resistant Diamond Shield Review

Hello Everyone, since fall is here I wanted to go back to dark nail colors like black, browns, and purples. I have been searching for a chip resistant so I decided to test out ICING Chip Resistant Diamond Shield. This can be purchased at any ICING store usually located in the mall.  After using the product for 5 days, here is what I think:

PROS:

1. Makes your nails hard, so they will not chip and therefore grow.
2. Keeps the majority of the color on your nail for an extended amount of time.

CONS:

1. Starts to chip around the tip of the nail first.
2. Takes a long time to dry.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

I give this chip resistant a B-



Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue Review

Hello Everyone, I recently bought the 2oz jar of Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue to see if I liked it. I had a bit of pros and cons for this product so I'll just go ahead and list them below.
 PROS:

• It moisturized my real hair and maintained a nice curl all day.
• It has a really nice pineapple smell

CONS:

• It leaves a lot of build up in your hair and will leave a visible residue in my hair and the weave.
• Made my weave very hard, brittle and dry.

In conclusion I will never use this product again on my weave. I think that it was nice to my real hair, but it leaves a build up so you would need to wash your hair every time you use it. It was completely dry and brittle when I did a dry twist out on my weave. It was so bad I really didn't want to put the picture up.I saw that some people said that when you apply a generous amount it gets hard, but since I used less then half of my 2 oz I clearly didn't use a lot. I wonder if it would've been different if I did a wet twist out? I had to sing in church that day so I just twisted it back into a low bun. All in all I think for me and my hair, we will use Cantu products or Eco Styler olive oil whenever we want to do a dry twist out again!

I will try other products from this line to see what works for me. I gotta find out what the hype is all about!

In the morning....disaster!

SCARVES: Fashion Favorite

I have been trying to successfully tie a scarf on my head but could never get it looking right. Finally Moptop Maven showed me how to do it. I posted a picture of my success on twitter about 2 weeks ago. I also spotted June Ambrose wearing decorative head scarves during NYFW. I love how everyone is getting into these scarves now, and June Ambrose fabulously executed the look. Here are a few of my favorite head scarf looks.

And me!!!

Beauty Bits!

Hello here is another video about some of the beauty products I've been using lately. I give my honest review on all of them, so hopefully it helps you out. The camera quality is so poor my apologies:( But I posted a picture below in the best light I could get. Hope you can see the colors. The foundation really makes my skin alive. Hope you enjoy. Peace!

Finally!!!!! Jazmine Sullivan: Holding you Down

I love Jazmine Sullivan and since her last album I have been youtubing practically all of her performences to get my Jazmine fix! Her new single Holding you Down is Ahhhmazing, and her video is so cute. I love how she looks like someone I would hang out with, I just love this girl. Here is the video below.
BTW her lightning bolt earrings are so cute, almost makes me wanna pierce my ears.

Solange in Pictures

Good Evening everyone! For awhile I have admired Solange Knowles style. Ever since she shaved her head, she just blossomed. For Solange I feel the weaves were a distraction from her style. Now her face pops, her clothes pop and she glows. Here are a few of my favorites of her pre and post Big Chop.

Beautiful Hair!!!

Good Afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day:) Along with my Beauty Bits segement, I decided to start taking pictures of the hairstyles and looks I acheive and create somewhat of a lookbook for you all. Romeka is pictured below and is a good friend of mine who has never had a relaxer and loves to wear her hair natural. She decided to give her hair a rest and get a weave. Here are some pictures of her before middle and after stages.

Viola!!!

 The tools that are needed to upkeep this look are a paddle brush (like the one I mentioned in Beauty Bits from Forever 21), and Motions Sheen Spray. I usually never reccomend putting products in weaves because it makes the hair look dirty and smells after a while. However Motions Sheen Spray is very weightless, and creates instant shine without weighing the hair down. Less is more when considering how much product to put in your weave. I apologize for the clarity of the pictures, but you will still get the gist. Below is a video from Romeka giving her review on her new fabulous do!
