[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Have you ever imagined your favourite lip tar as a pencil? Well you are in luck! For 2014, the gurus at OCC have created pencils that coordinate or match exactly with many of their most coveted, cult-favoured Lip Tars. They have also included an Anti-Feathered Colour Pencil, which is colourless and can be used as  a base or primer for the lips!  Best of all, many of these pencils can be used on both eyes and lips! Check out the details below.  All info via PR.

These pencils are available now online at occmakeup.com and sephora.com and will be available in Sephora stores on February 28, 2014 and cost US$16 each.

I for one can’t wait to try the Anti-Feathered, Pennyroyal and Sybil!

My holy grail product: Oyin Handmade's Burnt Sugar Pomade!

I have sung the praises about products from Oyin Handmade.  They have a fantastic collection for women how have naturally kinky/curly/coily hair.  But there is one that truly has my heart and I will buy for the rest of time!  Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade.

Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade

First of all, this smells every bit as good as it looks! Amazing!! I have been so tempted to eat this thing!   I actually think that it has quite a pronounced scent although it has been described as subtle.

Anyway, this is an all-natural, vegetable-based hair pomade, that has a very thick, almost grease-like consistency.  Like old-school, back in the day hair grease.  And to the touch, it is grainy, as if there is actual brown sugar mixed in it.  But that quickly melts away once you warm it up in your palms.

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Yes it’s 2014 and awards season has just started!  Last Sunday was the Golden Globes, which is thought of as a predictor to the Oscars.  I was just really interested in the fashion and makeup.  And waaaay before the show actually started, I was slayed, by Lupita Nyong’o!!  I thought that I was obsessed with Kerry Washington (I still love her), but this chick is flawless!!!!

When was the last time we saw a woman on the red carpet with a close cropped fade?? And that red dress??? The awards were over for me!  I cannot wait to see how her career unfolds!!
