Shea Moisture hair products

I decided to wash my hair Thursday and do something different with my hair.  I did a deep conditioner with the anti hair breakage deep conditioner and than rinsed my hair with cold water.  I than used the hair strenghter oil in my scalp, divided my hair into sections where I put in the hair milk and curling pudding into each section before doing a two strand twist.

I wore my hair in twists on Friday and than took them out on Saturday since I don't like how my hair looks like in twists.  I just don't have enough hair for it to look cool instead it really emphasizes how my hair is pretty thin.  But that's why I went natural to make my hair appear thicker.  See the photos of my hair ...

Am LOVING Shea Moisture Product Line for my curly hair!

I bought a ton of shea moisture products when Walgreens had the intro BOGO offer.  I usually do a mini rinse in the morning with the Anti-Breakage Hair Masque Yucca & Baobab as I take a shower.  I rinse it out and leave my hair dripping wet to begin my styling routine.  First of all I spray my hair with reconstructive elixer (roots & hair), than I take the together the restorative conditioners (thicken hair & orig) and blend them to smooth through my hair.  Just a pump from each bottle.  I also take a small finger full of the happy to have curl enhancing smoothie to define my curls & keep it from frizzing up.  I finish up with a glycerin gel to seal in the moisture and allow it to dry naturally.  It leaves my hair so soft and curly.  It LOOKS great and I'm really happy to have discovered this line.  I'm happy to be using a small business owned by POC that uses nautural ingrediants AND is so moderately priced!  I find that walgreens carries more of the products but charges $3 more than Target.  I will next talk about the body products once I pick them up in the next week or so.

As you can see from my photos my hair looks super shiny, the curls are defined and NOT frizzy!!

My new product routine that I'm using daily.  I'm SOOO happy that the weather is warm enough to leave the apt wet and can dry in the sun.

Another day another dollar in pursuit of 'beauty'.  Today is a Monday and I have again tried a mix of new and old makeup for a new look.  Today I started with the L'Oreal HiP Teal Kohl Eyeliner that I used to line the top and bottom of my eyes.  I decided to try the L'Oreal HiP Bright Shadow Duo in Flashy (318).  I put the light golden yellow cream color on my lid and the green color on my crease up to my eyebrow.  I wanted my eyebrows to be a little dramatic so took Sephora Black Eyeshadow and filled them in a little.  To really make my eyes stand out I finished with Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black (01) that really makes them look thick and long!

Shine Struck Liquid Lipcolor in Zealous

I wanted a rosy affect on my cheeks so used my bronze Aveda Cheek Creme in Uruku (bronzey reddish brown -- almost like rich earth/clay) on my cheekbones and than Sephora Body Paint (810) on the apple of my cheeks.  The Body Paint has a pearly gold iridescence that really makes my skin glow.  

I like my lips to be shiny but not too colorful so brought to L'Oreal Lip Colors to try out.  The first picture is with the L'Oreal HiP Shine Struck Liquid Lipcolor in Zealous (260) it's almost a reddish peach. I than tried out my new L'Oreal HiP Color Presso in Fashonista (380) that is a very shiny pearly red (looks GREAT on me).  This one got a reaction from TWO guys.  Both said 'hi' and flirted with me.  So will be wearing more brighter colors from now on!  I think the combination of a great smile and bright lips is very appealing to the fellas!

I have photos of me with both lip colors so which one do you like best???

As you can see my hair is growing like a weed but is at that weird length where it's just ... well 'sproinging' in every direction!  But I like the twists, coils and curls.  They make me look AND feel unique!

As you can see I'm keeping up with my goal of getting in shape/being pretty

 

I like to wear a mix of various makup lines that have enough pigment to look good on dark medium brown complexioned WOC (Women Of Color).  I'm wearing Makeup Forever on my cheeks (Aqua Cream #8), Aveda Uruku blush, L'Oreal HiP Cream Eyeliner (Eggplant #960); Concentrated Shadow Duo (Cheeky #508) & Color Presso (Stylish #880) with Lancome Mascara (Black). I have the eggplant eyeliner on my lower & top eyes, I used the Cheeky eyeshadow with the rose color on my lids and the darker color on the crease of my eye and as blush the Aveda is on my cheekbones & the Make Up Forever Red on the apple of my cheeks.  The lipgloss is clear with a hint of color so it will made my eyes stand out. 

My hair is looking great! I got my curls with a deep conditioning rinse #Pantene and than #SheaButter Products (deep conditioner, hair milk & conditioner) with #KinkyCurly Hair Gel -- #naturalhair
