Hey My Luvs!! So I not too long ago took some more pics with Fierce Establisher AKA My Camera Lol and I love them! :) I only took a few just to show you all where my hair growth is at the moment. I am Very Happy with the way things are going with my hair throughout this Natural Journey! Curls are POPPIN Left and Right! Makeup is setting off Fierce Looks Left and Right! And I'm Doin Me! :) I will post all the pics below so you all can see them and also see my makeup look I did today. I call it the Bumble Bee Look! Oooo O_0 Lol. It's a really Bold Look and I Love It so that's what's Important and I hope that you all Love it as well. It may be too Bold for some but I definitely understand that Luvs. I will be doing a nude everyday look as well really soon so stay tuned.

My Hair today was really a random frohawkish style. I had a totally different style in mind while defining my curls but ended with the frohawkish look and I really like it. I have been a really big fan of styles with various levels in them that are not on one level. I Love styles that have high and low levels, I think it makes an overall Great Look. If you all have some great styles I would love to see some of them! I'm always open to new looks and different natural hairstyles so please let me know. :)

 I hope you all are having a Wonderful week full of Positive Energy and may you continue to be Blessed :)

Hey Guys! Just want to come to you all today to talk about the New Wet -N- Wild Makeup Palettes I bought recently. The company recently released a new/upgrade of shadows and lip-gloss/lip-sticks. I have wanted to try the new shadows so I bought all 4 palettes on Christmas Eve from Walgreens and tried the Vanity Palette since it is the most neutral. I got really nice comments on my makeup while I was out with my sisters. I created a Neutral/Bold Nude look to go with my overall look. I must say I really like the shadows because they are VERY pigmented and smooth. It's almost like a dry creamy feel when applying them for eye looks! I REALLY Like them and will be wearing them to do my Daily Primary Makeup and I will take a picture each day I do a makeup look just to show you all the wide variety of looks that are possible with using these 4 palettes. I hope you all can find them in your local drug stores because they can be rather difficult to obtain. As Always I hope this helps you in some way and I wish you all a Lifetime of Positive Energy and Happiness!

Hey Luvs! So I wanted to make a post today of a Great Inexpensive makeup Brand that is really good for learning basic natural makeup application. From personal use and from seeing how pleased many people are with the brand. E.L.F (Eyes Lips Face) is an Amazing Brand! I really love using my palette for various makeup looks that I do. The ENTIRE Brand is only $1.00 and $3.00!!! Super Affordable! Everything you need to do makeup they pretty much have to purchase at your local Target. If you want to pick up a starter palette you can find the Holiday E.L.F palettes at participating Targets in your city! The 100 shadow Palette I bought is shown below. I only paid $10.00 for the palette and the pigment is really nice. It's not the best I've seen but it is really nice and you can have a defined eye look with this makeup. Recently I decided I was going to start looking into buying more expensive makeup with very defined pigment. Overall, the more professional brands of makeup just to start working my way into the higher level of makeup. When I buy my first makeup professional palette I will definitely do a review! So Stay Tuned for More Info! ~EVA~

Hey Luvs!! So I bought  some Coconut Butter the other day from Whole Foods and wanted to do a review to show you all how I feel about it. I really love it! Eventhough it is a food product LOL. It smells like Coconut Oil of course BUT its not just oil! It's actually the whole coconut flesh whipped and processed into a butter. When heated a little the product gets really soft and applies great in hair! It works great on toast as well if you love coconut on your food. So its an all around great product! Hope you all enjoy the video! ~EVA~



 
Hey Luvs!! So I was checking out Black Onyx Page and noticed she had a video of her showing the different twisting methods. I never knew there were two methods because as she stated, most people group them together as overall the Two Strand Method. However after her demonstration there is an obvious difference! The Rope Twist are tighter and neater after the twist has been twisted and realeased! I really liked how neat they were and once I am able to twist my hair I will try both to see which one suits my hair best. I think the rope twist will have a more defined pattern after being twisted out. So here is the video so you all can see her demonstration. Enjoy! :) ~EVA~

Hello! Today I'll be doing a Product Review on Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. I must admit I was Very hesitant to buy this product because of my results with Curly Pudding. However, after feeling the texture and trying some of the product on my hair in the store I decided I would buy it because I really liked how it absorbed into my hair.
Product Description: Quick Curls weightless spiraling crème was formulated as a fast acting no fuss light weight styler that gives you the results you want fast. This fresh scented conditioning formula exclusively blended with essence of ginger flower and lime fruit activates a quick, light weight, frizz free smooth curl. Excellent for fingerstyling relaxed hair; no rods necessary, a rescue remedy for botched over processed texturizers and great for our beautiful white gals. Instructions for use: Apply to damp hair based on length and density. Air dry or diffuse dry. Enjoy! THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CHEMICALLY ALTERING!

Product Prices:
8 oz: $32.00
2 oz: $9.00
This product is currently on sale Until 12/31/2010 online @ MissJessies.com for BOGO Free!

I cowashed my hair so that I could really get the true results of the product. My hair was still moisturized from my Heated Olive Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, and Honey Hair Mask. I also used the rest of my Rosemary Rinse after my Cowash, I styled my hair into a simple TWA Fro using Miss Jessie's. I must say I really love the way this product absorbed into my hair. It didn't sit on the top of my hair like the Curly Pudding and it made my hair very soft and moisturized! I was able to pick out my fro very easily and apply some ECO Olive Oil Gel on my edges to bring out my TWA.
Product Grade: A
 
I recommend buying this product. However my recommendation is based off My Hair results. If this is a product that you will purchase to try on your hair I hope that you have the same positive results that I did.
Happy Product Hunting
