This is one of the products that I have heard a lot of buzzz about from curly heads for years. Bee Hold Curly Butter is made by the company Bee Mine and it is probably their best selling product.  Always the first to sell out and I had to make sure I snapped it up.  I bought mine from Ecodermis & Wolfberry in Brooklyn (right off Eastern Parkway) and I got the last one!!

Make Up For Ever does HD…Not Retouched!!!

This week, Make Up For Ever launched its HD NOT RETOUCHED campaign.  Everyone knows (or should know) that these days ads, photos and videos are retouched.  You may be surprised at how much is done, lashes drawn in, fine lines and wrinkles erased, dimples eradicated, pretty much the subject is made perfect.  So folks should not even stress out trying to look like a model in a magazine, ‘cuz a lot of it is not real.  By highlighting their HD line, they hope to show that anyone could get makeup with a flawless finish.

Here’s the promo image.  Courtesy of Style.com

Updated haircare routine

So have have not been buying a lot of products as of late, but I’ve been loving a few items. I usually wash and condition every other week. The process is done in four sections.   I wear my hair in a protective style for one week then as a twist-out/bun for the next.  I definitely will be experimenting with more styles this year! So here’s what’s hot with me!!

  • Prepoo: Organic Coconut oil.  Just applied to my strands a few hours before washing.
  • Shampoo: Well I stopped using regular sulphate shampoo years ago, and I have been loving the Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo. My hair never feels dry with this product!

Two strand twists – a new protective style!

So here’s an update on my protective styling.  For those who don’t know, I pretty much live in protective styles because when it comes to my hair, I 1) am kinda lazy when it comes to styling, 2) like the convenience, 3) don’t like to wear my hair out when it’s cold (which is at least 75% of the year).  I wear a twisted style one week, then a twist-out bun the next, wash, repeat. Get it??  Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE buying hair products, testing them out, but I have not that creative with styling.  So I’m trying to bust out of that.

Here is my usual protective style, a two-strand cornrowed flat twist:
