Pantene Truly Natural Hair Co-wash

 

So I tried Pantene truly natural hair co-wash. I was ask to try this I. My Instagram. I would like to thank @beautyfuls0ul for the suggestion.

 

First thoughts was that this is not totally natural but Pantene usually have really good products. Second thought was that it has coconut oil in which I'm allergic to it. Then once seeing how far down on the list it was , I was fine with using it.

 

 

When I squeeze it out it look like regular conditioner.

 

 

It smell great. I section my hair into four sections. I then soak and applied it to each section thoroughly and comb it through. The direction says leave on for 1 minute but I surpass that. As I applied it, I notice a slight foam but nothing major.

 

When I rinse each section, I notice how soft my hair was and how it stayed detangle. Usually I would have to detangle my hair before the wash, before conditioning and again before styling. So the true test for me was how it was going to react after my hair started to air dry. I was apply my leave in and my hair was still super soft. I braided my hair immediately after, while it was still damp and it was like braiding baby clouds. My hair is soft and moisturize. I am thoroughly impress with this co-wash. I think I'm in love y'all.

 

 

So if you try it out please let's know your thoughts on it.

What is a tinted moisturizer?

 

What is a tinted moisturizer?

 

 

A tinted moisturizer is simply moisturizer with tint. So why use tinted moisturizer? It is a minimum to medium depending on your skin type. So the purpose of tinted moisturizer is to even and tone out your skin.

 

 

It’s lighter than foundation but give you that little extra coverage that you may want without one. I personally have use the tinted moisturizer and I like it for when I did a great eye look and I want just to have something light on to even my skin out. It not as great coverage as my foundation but it does the job.You can do this with a bronzer as well but most bronzers have a little shimmer in them. I think that it will also be great for people that have excellent skin and don't want to use a foundation or even for those divas that like to wear a full face of makeup daily. I personally am not a big fan of foundation in the summer so this is my go to for those hot summer days. I hope this help you ladies that have been curious about tinted moisturizer.

MILANI COLOR STATEMENT LIPSTICK

 

 

Sweet nectar goes on smooth. Feels conditioning on my lips. Love it, my favorite! I never thought about weaing anything in the orange family but doing this blog allowed me to venture outside of my comfort zone.

 

 

 

Rose hip goes on smooth and is creamy as well. I like this a lot. I think that I look nice on my skintone.

 

 

 

Bronze beauty has more a satin finish. Not creamy but not as dry as a matted lipstick. Love the color!

 

 

 

Violet volt has that same satin finish. It takes a lot to get it on but once it's on it is very pretty.

 

 

 

Sangria very pretty it's a straight matted. Lip will feel dry. I always put on a balm when I wear a matted lipstick.

 

 

 

Raspberry rush goes on with the satin feel as well. Looks similar to violet volt on me.

 

 

I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did.Until next time, smooches!!!

Swimwear!!!

     

So I thought it would be cool to do a blog on swimwear. The weather is breaking and summer is around the corner. I know a lot of people put off swimwear shopping because they do not think that their body is prepared. So I selected a couple of body friendly swimwear options.

 

 

This is the high waist bikini that should complement most body shapes. It is my favorite look of the upcoming season.

 

 

This give you that vintage pin up look.

 

 

This look remind me of Wonder Woman or a swimsuit from the 70's.

 

 

These 3 suits are very flattering for anybody type and they have a subtle sexiness to them.

 

This is the last one for this post. I think this one is girly with a hint of sexiness.I think it would be great for a beach date or chill day on a boat, Yacht or ship. All of this lovely swimwear comes from a site call modcloth.com The prices range from $89.99- 157.99.

 

 

 

These picks are from Torrid. I really love all of these and am tempted to buy them all. The top pieces will give you that look of the high waisted bikini. The bottom two give you that full coverage with that sex appeal that you always yearn for in on piece.

 

These are form the Monifc.com. These are the ones that got me interested in the high waisted bikini. I love all of these pieces. I look forward to adding at least one of these to my collection.

 

The first site does carry all sizes while the last two sites are plus size. I wanted to show a variety of sizes. Unfortunately if I did so this post would be extremely long. I'm sure you should be able to find similar looks to this swimwear. Go check out these sites, if you like anything that I have posted. Until next time!!!

EBay shopping!!!

 

Over the last couple of months I have revisit my love for eBay shopping. I use to love shopping on eBay; but I hated when I would miss out because I had been outbided. So after so many disappointments, I took my shopping to amazon. Then one day amazon did not have what I wanted. So this sent me running back to eBay and I have been hook ever since. I have purchase a variety of things from dresses, to faux leather legging, to jewelry, and purses. I even purchase some coffee that one of my classmates was selling for 30 bucks for like 12.

 

So here are my eBay shopping tips:

 

Type in exactly what you want. If it doesn’t give you the results you are looking for change the verbiage.

 

 

Always set price from low to high. It gives you the opportunity to see all that is being offer. Some vendors may have it for cheaper or some bids may be going for lower.

 

Watch it! On eBay you have the option of watching the item. The items are then listed under watch items. That way you can watch multiple of the same item and see which one is the cheapest, then act on it. I may have three of the same items on my watch list because I want to make sure that I am getting the best deal. EBay will email you 6 hours before your watch item is going to end. At that time you can set a reminder to go back and bid or you can bid at this time. I usually wait until the last 10 minutes before a make a bid on an item. I have also missed out on items because I forgot to go back.

 

I recently downloaded the eBay app and I think it notify you a little sooner. You can find a lot of great finds on eBay. Here are a couple of mines:

 

I hope this is helpful to you guys. Happy EBay shopping!!!
