Presently I'm really really REALLY like A LOT OF SONGS lol..but ill keep it simple and just post one at a time..

*drumroll*

soooo

This weeks song is...by Nigerian-American Rapper: WALE

His album "Ambition" came out back in November and when i went through the album this song "LOTUS FLOWER BOMB" became an instant fav!! Its featuring RnB singer Miguel (aka Mr.sure thing)

Enjoy!

I got a RELAXER!

So...i finally got my hair relaxed...this was my LONGEST STRETCH EVER! 7 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS (30 WEEKS)...and i must say...BLEH! I will just stick to my 4 month stretches...yes my hair grew a lot, but i also experienced a major set back about 3 weeks ago.  After removing a sew in weave i had in for 10 weeks...i must of not combed everything out well enough because after i had washed and conditioned my hair, my entire head was a TANGLED, MATTED MESS! It took my mom 4 hours to get through it all..at the end i was left with a sore scalp and a lot of hair...LOSS!! *tear*  any who..so yea..i feel i was at APL (armpit length).. (which was my goal!) but now after the matted nest to the relaxer and trim..I'm just pass shoulder length...SIGH! all that work, gone down the drain...such is life..its only hair, BUT it still sucks.

As the new year approaches, I will keep better track of my hair growth progress...

Product Review: Korres Face Primer

Hey Everyone!

I'm really gonna try to post more during the new year lol..any who, I purchased this product months ago and said id do a review of it, so here it is!

Item-Korres Face Primer

The package states it's a silicone free, skin perfecting and a moisturizing make up face primer with vitamin E. It has a bunch of great natural ingredients such as Jojoba oil and sunflower oil.  It states that most of the total ingredients (98.93% to be exact) are from natural origins. Its pretty much suppose to be an organic/natural face primer.

My Purpose
So as i got more and more into makeup i researched stuff and noticed that people would use make up primers.  So i figured id invest in one..but which one was the question.  Make up primers are used to help prepare you face for makeup.  They help reduce fine lines and makes the foundation go on more smooth.  They are also suppose to allow your makeup to last longer.  
So i noticed that there were different types...silicone's vs non silicone's..(I'm not gonna get all into the debate of that) but pretty much i decided to go the more natural route and avoid a mainly silicone primer.  I went to Sephora and purchased the Korres face primer.  It had great reviews.

My Opinion
So i started using the Korres primer and HONESTLY...*thumbs down* it wasn't that great.  Yes my face was moisturized and my makeup went on smooth, but i really didn't noticed a different between when i used it and when i wouldn't use it.  Compared to me just using my regular moisturizer and then applying my makeup..there wasn't a different.  In terms of longevity of my foundation...SAME THING! I didn't find that the primer made my makeup last any longer than it usually would...*WOMP WOMP*

As a moisturizer sure, its GREAT..as a face primer..MEH... i give it 2/5 stars!!

GUESS WHOSE BIZZZ-ZACCCCK!

HELLLLLLO THERE!


Its been a while, im so terrible at this whole blog thing...but i am going to try and update more often!


I dont even know what to talk about right now, so much new and different events have taken place.  I guess this will be a minor update post!

HAIR UPDATE!


Im currently 5 MONTHS POST RELAXER!!!! =O


And I currently have a sew in weave in.. my first time using virgin hair...its virgin malaysian wavy hair from NR HAIR GROUP.  Ive had it in so far for 6 WEEKS, and its doing pretty good! going to try and keep it in for a few more weeks...

Curling Wand Love!!

So...i recently purchased a curling wand...the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium to be exact..and i just tried for the first time yesterday and LOVE IT!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE???? LIKE seriously...I'm one of those people who struggle using curling irons..i always seem to get a dent o_0...and my curling with a flat iron skills have only somewhat improved...its a gamble each time i try..either it works and i have wonderful waves and curls..or it fails and left with bent up hair...more so the latter than the former takes place...but this, THIS right here...on the first try there was a nice, soft, wavy, loose curl.. *EUREKA!*
noooo longer will i have to struggle to get wavy/curly hair...sigh...it was a good day...

so, details about the product..its heats up to 450 degrees F...has a dial so you can control the temperature..made from titanium, which helps with eliminate frizz..it heats up SUPER fast..easy maintenance and storage.. and i got it in the size 1 1/4 which is equivalent to a 3/4 barrel.. =)

ANOTHER POLISH Haul...can we say new addictions? (eik!)

So...I took a lil trip across the border recently and got some new polishes! WOOT! Any who I picked up the OPI Glam Slam...Its a lil 2 piece nail lacquer kit.  It has the Spark De Triomphe...which is basically a silver glittery polish and..don don da donnnnn...the White Shatter! *squeals* Now, where I went I had a lot of options..there was also the china glaze shatters...but i duno...im sure they do the same thing..but i started with OPI..so might as well continue..RIGHT? :S...Any who...I tried the white shatter and its pretty nice...i still don't know which i like better though the black or white...RIGHT now there about tied..hmmm

oh..also, i picked up my first CHINA GLAZE polish..(yes yes i know, im late) but i never really see it around where i live...any who..i had to control myself with those too..so i only got one...its called HAPPY GO LUCKY...its a BRIGHT YELLOW! Im quite pleased with it...it will be one of my summer staples!

*swatches will be coming soon*

3 POLISHES, 1 GLOSS...mini HAUL!

So, I recently discovered the O.P.I SHATTER NAIL POLISH and had to buy it! and i must say it pretty cool!
I also got the O.P.I Top Coat, because 1. i don't have one 2. figured i should just invest in one, and i was surprised at how much of a difference it made. it truly added shine to the nail colour. 

while visiting Sephora i got this nail polish, Hi-Def..its a nice BRIGHT orange, which i think it great for the upcoming summer!

And I also purchased the Sephora Collection Lip Stain in the colour FOREVER FUCHSIA! Its a satin finish cream lip stain.  I was a bit iffy when getting it, since it was kinda bright, but just went for it and happy i did! its soooooo nice! and its long lasting!!  I wore it out but topped it with MAC's Ample Pink Lip glass. and it was a perfect blend.  But even alone the lip stain works.  I think I'ma invest in another one...I'm thinking of the bright red..probably the ALWAYS RED one! =)
