December Glam Bag review

It's the middle of January so I think now is a good time to do my December Glam Bag review... Whats new. 

Anyways...this bag, I would have to say, this bag was a winner. It's been the first bag that I use every single product daily (except one which I'll explain) 

My only complaint is the actual bag everything came in because it wasn't as cute as the other ones but they cant please everyone I guess. 

This is what came in my bag last month:

If I had to pick one favorite though, that would be the Tarte Mascara. It separates my eyelashes just the way I like them, but when I use it with my Jordana mascara, my eyelashes are on point! 

I also really enjoyed using the Pixi Dust. I used it as a highlight but I assume you could use it as an eye shadow too. It's that one color that I think would look beautiful on all skin types. 

The NYX Lip Butter was very....buttery. I guess that's a way to describe it. Just a regular lip balm to me. The color I'm not sure I like on myself but I make it work. 

Now the one product I still haven't tried out is the Cool Way Conditioner. Only because I always forget to put it in my shower and by the time I remember I have it, I am already in the shower.

But I promise I will try it soon and give an update as to how I liked it!

My January Glam bag should be coming soon so you could probably guess the review for that one probably wont be out till February. (My birthday month!!!) Better late than never right?

Hair Care!

Lets travel back in time a little bit where I talked about my hair, this is going to be an extension to that. Mainly about how I take care of my hair on a daily basis.

Before I continue though, after that first post I immediately got questions as to where I get my hair done. So I want to give all credit to Miss Linda at Simply You. (hi Linda) She has been doing my hair FOREVER and knows everything about my hair, so she is probably the only person I trust to do my hair.

With that being said Linda has taught me a lot of what I need to know about maintaining my hair especially with wearing weave. I have also learned a lot from YouTube and other bloggers. Thank god for them right?

First, moisture is soooo important. You never want your weave or your hair to get too dry because ladies, that's never cute. Especially when you use a lot of heat (like me). So hair oil is essential and your hairs bestie. 

I recommend products like, Its a 10 Miracle Leave in Product, Organix Coconut Milk serum, and Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Hold and Shine Moisture Mist. All of which are super light and never leave your hair feeling or looking super greasy. 

& Always try to remember to use a heat protectant when applying heat tools!

DONT overdue it with the products on your weave because you don't want to weigh down your hair.

But that's when the shampoo and conditioner come into play. I live for the Organix products so you could probably guess that's the type of shampoo and conditioner I use. 

For shampoo I use the Macadamia and conditioner I use Coconut. 

Washing your hair is important but not something that you should be doing everyday. While wearing weave I recommend once a week. 

Find a regime that fits your lifestyle and stick to it! 

Remember, its also about what you put into your body as well; drink lots of water, stick to a balanced diet, and exercise on the regular. All of that helps your natural hair stay healthy. 

& that's it ladies!

 How I style my hair might become a blog post in the near future so stay tuned!

But if  there is anything that I missed that you are still curious about, let me know! Always open to answering questions! 

p.s go visit Miss Linda!

First Glam Bag REVIEW.

I finally jumped on the Glam Bag bandwagon and just got my first bag in the mail last week. I guess it wasn't much a surprise when I received it because I already knew what was going to be in my bag cause I took a little sneak peek on the Ipsy website.

Anyways, for those of you that don't know Ipsy is a subscription service that brings you a bag full of beauty goodies once a month. 

Sometimes you get full size products or just samples but its all still worth it cause most of the time it always equals to more than what you pay a month and who doesn't like getting new products every month?!

So, here's a little preview as to what I got in my October bag:

• Albertini Warm Love Pumpkin exfoliating mask
• Figs & Rouge hand cream
• Indie Lee Brightening cleanser
• Skone Cosmetics Tattooed eyeliner
• Starlooks lip-gloss

For my first bag I have to say I wish I didn't get two facial products but the Pumpkin mask smells delish, only because the smell of pumpkin is one of my favorites. 
The lip-gloss is a really good nude color too, I think good for all skin tones. 
Hand cream is super light, smells sooo good, and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy.
The eyeliner is a little rough but I am able to work with it.
And I can honestly do without the Brightening cleaner.

 Other than that I have to say I am super excited to receive future bags and review them on my blog so stay tuned for more of these!

I recommend Ipsy to all my makeup and beauty lovers out there, its like a present to yourself every month guys!
