Hair Talk:Twist Out Day Two

Hello Everyone,

So Im still loving my wonderful twist out from the day before, the definition is still very much there (how long i can go until the definition goes bye bye) .One thing i have noticed is that my hair has got a lot bigger then when i first took the twists down and i love it, i hope it gets bigger and bigger and bigger until it gets to messy and Ill be forced to pull out the black soap and shea butter.

♡Dec 2011 Faves♡

Hello Everyone, 

December is coming to an end and for this month here are the products I have reached for everyday or so.
This is my magic potion when it comes to my natural hair. 

Winter time dry skin was MIA because of this wonder cream. (with a layer of EVOO underneath)  
Hello clear skin, I promise a full review is right around the corner. 

A little glow to brighten up my cold winter days. 
Perfect holiday scent.  I have to find a candle  that smells like this. 
Soft skin with a wonderful (sexy) smell. 

And if you missed my previous product rave here's a link to check them out. IVI Scents and X Out.

Product Rave: XOXO, X Out

Hello Everyone, 

Hey so I received this product a few weeks ago in my Influenster VoxBox and paid it no mind until i had an event to attend and woke up that morning with an unwanted visitor smack dab on my cheek. After staring at my new worst enemy for a few minutes  i decided  to give X Out a try this product is designed to.....
 "kill the bacteria that causes breakouts, help banish existing pimples and help leave the skin feeling smooth and looking healthy. X Out™ works to lift away the dirt and grime that can clog pores.  The Wash-In Treatment also leaves behind powerful medicine to help keep pores clean.  Learn more and purchase at XOut.com.  X Out is sold as a 30-day supply and comes with a bonus Shine Control product to help you fight oil all day for $19.95."     
 I used it to spot treat, I applied it to the affected area and let it sit for 10 mins as instructed. While it was on my face my first impression was that it could definitely be used as a mild exfoliator because it has a grain like feel to it, it also had a very cooling affect. After the 10 mins were up I rinsed the cream off and my visitor already had one foot out the door. It was not completely gone but it was reduced by at least 40% with the first use. After using this product for a week (in combination with my Skinsonic)  I have fallen head over heels in love. I would not recommend using this everyday if you have sensitive skin not because its drying, because its not at all, but because for me anyway its a bit harsh for an everyday cleanser. Well that's about it I hope you enjoyed this review, Ill keep you all posted if anything changes.

Review: NYC New York Color

Hello Everyone, 

       I decided to take a break from the dreaded FINALS studying and do a review for NYC New York Color that I received from Influenster’s VoxBox program. To start off i knew i would like this product because I have tried NYC glosses before. The color i recieved is called NYC Nude York City it is very light and would be faltering on any skin type, but it is also build-able for a more intense look. Its very affordable as well the only thing i do not like about this gloss is that it is a bit sticky but over all its a good product.  


Here's more information from the company:
Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!
A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others.  Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!

Hello Everyone,

              So I just received my VoxBox through the  Influenster’s VoxBox program and I just had to try the imPRESS Press-on Manicure set.

Keep Those Piggies Warm.

Hello Everyone, 

With winter right around the corner I was so happy when i found these boots only for half the price on a website called Beyond The Rack, very similar to Hautelook. These websites provide you with the opportunity to buy like the rich and famous with out spending tons of money you rather save. But with every good thing there are a few restrictions, one being that the sales only last a few days so if your interested head over and do a little shopping, plus cyber Monday is tomorrow and the deals just get better from there. 




Hair Talk: (Update) Trying Something New.

Hello Everyone,

So its been 2 week since I started taking biotin and I have seen no extra growth as far as my hair goes because i do have my protective style in and have not taken any down to do a length check. But I have noticed a huge difference in my nails. My nails are stronger, longer, and look amazing. I did not notice my nails until 2 days ago when one broke ,as a result of being used to pick at my phone, but even with that incident my nail still looks 100x better then before. As far as my worries about taking biotin in such a high dosage goes I noticed no break outs, or unusual acne problems. I also noticed that i have lost a few pounds; nothing major but enough to impress me. But yeah that's it for right now.
