Fenty…need I say more? I’ve been a fan of the gloss bombs from day one, so when this cute little set was released, I knew I was going to purchase it! I am pretty basic and 100% consistent when it comes to my lipstick choices. I am a straight lipgloss or something in the nude/brown family but these glosses are far from basic!  I remember my first gloss bomb, I purchased the shade FUSSY. I’d seen it on a YouTube review and knew I had to have it. I generally shy away from pinks

Today’s product is small and unassuming but packs one hell of a pigmented punch! It’s none other than Maybelline’s TattooStudio’s Eyeliner Pencil. Before I get into it, let’s talk about the eyeliners of the past. I grew up during the era when girls carried lighters that weren’t for smoking. The trusty BIC lighter was for the coveted eyeliner. Let me explain. Growing up in a super religious household, makeup was NOT allowed. This required some negotiating. We landed on eyeline

Where the heck have I been? Did you even notice that the weekly style roundups had disappeared? The beauty products of the week? Either way I’m back! Let’s get caught up! So much has been going on. I’ve been trying to figure out this blog situation; my blog identity, the whole nine. Where did I land? Well, LifeSTYLE, Fashion & Motherhood. That pretty much sums me up! I had to get clear on how I can best serve my followers/readers. I’ve already deemed 2020 the year of clear vi

The other day I made a YouTube video talking about my natural hair, and in the video I said, “I didn’t know what my natural hair looked like until I became an adult.” In that moment, it was just something I said, but after I recorded the video it really made me think. The first time my hair was pressed (straightened) according to my mother, I was about two years old, two! By the time I was four I was rocking a Jheri curl. Natural hair wasn’t really a fad. We had just left the

Gel-X, does it live up to the hype? This week’s beauty item is Gel-X. Let’s talk about nails, I was a nail biter for the first 20 plus years of my life, which meant that there was no need for manicures or polish. I bit my nails like an addict, and I wasn’t your average biter, I bit them down to the quick! I finally quit cold turkey in my late twenties. I started to see my nails grow and eventually started getting manicures. I can remember when gel polish hit the scene, I was

I don’t wear makeup often, but the products I use to achieve my makeup no makeup look still requires a solid makeup remover and I found one! I really began to focus on my skin about a year ago. Now, I’ve always washed my face daily but I wasn’t into anything other than a little coconut oil to keep my face glowing and the old school cocoa butter stick for blemishes and I never wore makeup. As I dabbled more and more into the land of makeup I began to research all things skinca

Ok ya’ll, this week’s product is multi-use inexpensive one! Good ol’ Vaseline! Yes folks, your inexpensive drugstore store item. I always get asked about my skin. I also always get complimented by the nail techs who do my pedicures. They always comment on how soft my feet are and the fact that there is never much to scrub. I give all thanks to, Vaseline. Growing up my parents always lathered us up in vaseline after bath time,  and back in the day vaseline used to make a medic
