November curlBOX Test Drive

3 Comments

Hi luvs!

So this weekend I decided to take my November curlBOX products for a test drive.

  
Super excited to play with some all new Cantu products, I dove in. I started by using the Co-Wash to cleanse my hair. Next I applied the Dry Deny to my hair which is suppose to help lock in moisture. Then I applied the Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream using the shingling method to help my curls pop. Lastly I applied the Wave Whip Curling Mousse. That did something very unexpected. It turned my hair white!

   
 
I was a bit concerned about this. However, once my hair dried I ended up with the softest curls ever! Look at these curls.

   
 
Not that I doubted it but curlBOX came through again with some amazing products. If you’re not subscribed GET ON THE LIST! 
XOXO

SCANDA-LICIOUS

Hi lovelies!

So….yesterday was all kinds of awesome.  From the voluptuous braid out to the major pop on my lips.  I was totally feeling the entire look.  It was appreciated by a lot of my social family and so I wanted to give you guys the deets on this amazing look!

  
First, the hair.  Oh, the hair.  This look was achieved using products from the Creme of Nature Argan Oil from Morocco line.  What products exactly? Well…these:

  1. Pure-licious Co-wash
  2. Butter-licious Curls Curl Hydrating Creme
  3. Twirling Custard Curl Styling Gel
  4. 100% Pure Argan Oil

Together these products gave me this super moisturized elongated braid out!

  
I absolutely adore this complete line of products.  There will definitely be more styles to come using this line.

Now…the beat…specifically the lips.  This lippie got so much love yesterday.  So, here’s what I used

  1. Jordan Blue Devine Pencil (which is really an eye liner but worked perfectly on my lips)
  2. NYX Cosmetics Wicked Lipstick in the color Scandalous

   

 
This combination was EVERYTHING!

Well…that’s it for now. Until next time lovelies

XOXO

Hi beauties

Today I’ve got a video tutorial for a unique updo from last week. 

 

The circular shape and funnel feel of this look reminded me a lot of a twister. I just love the way it came out. This style was voted the #1 look of the week on Instagram last week. 

  

You can get the deets on how you can create this look here

Structured Hair

Hi luvs!

I absolutely adore the look of structured hairstyles. They’re so clean and sleek. Last week I decided to rock a structured style of my own with this mega French roll.

  
This is just one of many structured styles of mine but a lot of them tend to be French rolls. Although they may seem limited in versatility there are tons of ways to wear them. Check out more on the versatility of French rolls here.

As for this look. Love, love it!

Honey Blonde

Leave a comment

Sooo…for the past couple of weeks I’ve been rocking a new color on my undercut. Staying faithful to the brand and line that has treated my hair well I decided to go with the Creme of Nature Shine in cColor line. As for color I thought it would be nice to truly embrace the season of fall by adding a lighter color to contrast with the red and darker hues in my hair. My selection, this beautiful honey blonde.

The application was easy and the result has been everything!  To see a video on the application process click here.
  

I will most definitely re-up on this color through fall.
