I want to use more of my makeup so I'm shopping my stash!! I may put everything into an Excel Spreadsheet to keep up with what I'm trying to use. Also, I will put a dab of polish on the bottom of each product. A different color for each month as a little extra something to help me keep up with the products I use.

I went natural January 1, 2012. My biggest issue with my hair was the fact that it was dry. It was so dry that it made crunchy sounds. That led me on a journey to find products that would solve this and would be healthy for my hair. I had heard about hair steamers from a colleague of mine several years ago. I asked how did her clients like it. She stated that they loved it. I went on a search for a hair steamer but it got put on the back burner.
A year or so ago, my cousin, Vasha, told us that she had gotten a hair steamer and was raving about it. Again, I went on the hunt for one and yet again it got put on the back burner. So after watching many youtube videos and reading such great reviews about hair steamers, I decided to buy myself one as a Christmas present.
I purchased it...use it..LOVE IT!!! I think the hair steamer was the turning point in my healthy hair care regimen. I started back using conditioners that worked for me in the past. The first was Nexxus Humectress and Humecta-Sil by Nairobi. Two great products that I love dearly. Also, I try to use natural shampoos that are sulfate, paraben and mineral oil free.
Benefits of the Hair Steamer:
Increased scalp circulation, which aids hair growth,
Deep conditioners penetrate hair faster and 5 times better,
I personally do not use bronzers on myself. I have however, used them on a client during a photo shoot. She was Caucasian. She was the first Caucasian whose makeup I had ever done.I now understand why bronzers are used.
I had always heard that Bronzers give you that “sun kissed” look.Looking in the mirror, I was already sun kissed and did not need it.So, I never bothered to purchase any.
One day while shopping in my local Wal-Mart, I happened upon Bronzers from a company called “Hard Candy” and decided to purchase 3 of them.I had also heard about the Queen Collection Bronzers.Wal-Mart was out of those.I actually got them to use on my Ebony clients.But they can be used on anyone.
To make a long story short, I used them on her and she look amazing!The bronzer seemed to make her come alive.That is the best way that I can described it. I am so happy I decided to get them.Now to get the “Queen Collection” of bronzers what are recommended by Mr. Sam Fine himself!
The majority of my favorite blushes are from a company known as Milani.However, I do own 1 high end blush.It is the NARS blush in the color Orgasm.I also own 1 of what I consider a mid range priced blush from the company “The Balm” and it’s the color “Hot Mama”!I actually prefer Hot Mama over Orgasm.
The Milani blushes are Sunset Beach (discontinued), Luminous (discontinued), , Luminoso, Tarra Sole and Mai Tai (discontinued).Mai Tai is said to be a dupe for MAC’s Bite of an Apple.I have 2 blushes from Sally Hansen in Cherub and Poppy.One Black Radiance blush in the color Warm Berry.I also have 1 blush from NYX in the color Terra Cotta and one CoverGirl Cheekers blush in the color Golden Pink which is supposed to be a dupe for the MAC’s Razin.
However, I do want to purchase 2 more Milani blushes. They are in the colors Corallina and Bellissimo Bronze!
Beautiful Blushes That Were Given Away On My FaceBook Page!! Closed
I purchased some wonderful, discontinued blushes from ebay. I got Milani's blushes in "Mai Tai", "Sunset Beach" and "Luminois". I also purchased a Sally Hansen blush in "Poppy" I hosted a giveaway on my Facebook page for my friends and family. I had 2 blushes in Luminous and Poppy to give away. I also held a drawing for 1 Sunset Beach.
This first color is Sally Hansen's "Poppy". It's a mid tone or gray based Mauve/Pink blush with some gold shimmer. Complments all skin tones.
This next blush color is Milani's Luminous #08. Billed as a dupe for Nars Orgasm, it's a Peachy-Pink blush with golden shimmer. It leaves a beautiful golden glow on your cheeks!
The last blush color is Milani's Sunset Beach #07. This blush is described as a "Mat Burnt-Peach". This color is gorgeous on brown skin!
