Spring Makeup Look

Good morning beauties❤️

Today I’ve got a vibrant spring time makeup look to share with you all. Spring is almost at its end but this look can easily transition over to summer. It’s a blue eyeshadow and pink lip combination.

   
  

  

I love these colors together. The hair is the same twist out I talked about yesterday. You can check out that post here if you missed it.

3 Day Twist Out Bliss

Happy Monday luvs,

I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day Weekend. Mine was great, but more on that later. I decided to go with a twist out this weekend for the simple fact that it’s quick easy and super cute. 

I used one of my absolute favorite product lines for moisture, OGX Quenching Coconut Curls.

  
These products are so rich in moisture and my hair LOVES them. I cleansed and conditioned my hair with the shampoo & conditioner and then applied the Coconut Milk Anti Beakage Serum. I love using this product to help lock in moisture.

  
Next I installed medium size twists using the Curling Hair Butter. This product has a lot of slip and feels really good on my hair.

  
About these twists though, so much life!! With my new much needed cut, which you can read more about here, they were the perfect length to pull forward. 

   
    
   
The next day after applying a little extra coconut milk, I unraveled these bomb twists for my day 1 twist out. Nice definition and a decent amount of texture for day 1. Ya’ll know I love lots of texture! 

  

 
Day 2 Was similar to day 1, but had a bit more texture.
  
And day 3 is my favorite day for texture. It’s just bigger and better! 

   
 
OGX Curling Hair Butter is pretty much my go to for twist outs these days.

  
 If you haven’t tried this line of products I definitely recommend it.

Basic Single Flat Twist, Kinda

Hey luvs!

Yesterday I had a major come to Jesus with myself about my hair. Major deets on that tomorrow, but as a result I ended up doing a blowout and single flat iron pass on my hair. 

Creative styling on straight hair is a ton of fun for me. I have lots of tips on things you can do to make straight hair just as fun as super textured hair that you an check out here.

For today, I decided on a simple single flat twist with a whole lot of dimension thanks to my bomb hair color. The color really makes this basic style not so basic. Here is the final look.

The Evolution of a Crown

Hi luvs!

It’s not often that you’ll see me wearing curl defining styles. But when I do I’m always trying to find a way to take them from ordinary to extraordinary.  Last week I filmed the evolution of this beautiful crown. Watch as I style my second day twist and curl out 3 different ways before I end up with this style I adored most. Check out the video here.

   
    
 

Teyonah Parris Inspired Vintage Look

Hi luvs!

I’d never attempted to re-create a look before but when I saw the picture below of Teyonah Parris’ beautiful vintage look for the African American Film Critics Gala in January, I thought this was one I definitely wanted to give a try.

   

 Styled by the extremely talented Felicia Leatherwood, who I truly admire, I started thinking about how I could even remotely do this style justice. Well last week I went in on both the hair and makeup and here is how it turned out

   
   
Not bad right!? I was pretty pleased so you can only imagine my excitement when both Felicia Leatherwood AND Teyonah Parris said they also adored my finished product😝😝😝

   

   
Absolutely made my week! Want to see that step by step on how I got this entire look (hair & makeup)? Just click here.

XOXO
