Review: L.A. Colors Auto-liner in Black

    My first makeup item ever and I bought it from Dollar Tree. So excited, I do believe it was at least two years ago and a hot summer day I tried it out. The auto-liner is thin and great for those of you who don’t want to have such a giant or bulky liner. However, I must say that the auto-liner breaks easily … Continue reading Review: L.A.

Review: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

I saw this for $2.00 at Wal-Mart and wanted something that would make my nails stronger. I honestly needed something because my nails were yellowing and becoming weak. So, my sister told me it was good and I bought it. I put it on my nails, without any nail polish on other than a base coat, and it made my nails stronger within a week … Continue reading Review: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

Review: CG Eye Slicks in Neon Pink and Luminous Lavender

Neon Pink is the one with the bright pink cap and Luminous Lavender is the pale colored cap. Alright, so I will let everyone know now that these are more matte than anything else. They are also better used for a base which is not a bad thing. The application is really good, you don’t have to press hard on the lid at all. I … Continue reading Review: CG Eye Slicks in Neon Pink and Luminous Lavender

Review: L.A. COLORS Palette in Tease

(Colors across the palette: yellow, orange, pink, blue, green) My sister had this and I definitely love how crazy the colors are. This is a palette that was bought for $1.00. I believe she bought it at Dollar Tree or Dollar General. Both sell this palette along with others. The colors are highly pigmented even if they are a dollar and are definitely not cheap … Continue reading Review: L.A. COLORS Palette in Tease

All About Heat Protection

Many don’t know about heat sprays. They are really good for keeping the healthiness in your hair and prevent drying and damage to hair. I didn’t know about it until recently from a youtube guru: foreveryours0727 [http://www.youtube.com/user/ForeverYours0727] she is a good guru. I learned about many products that are cheap and inexpensive to someone who is on a budget. There are heat sprays that are … Continue reading All About Heat Protection

Review: Andis Multi Heat Ceramic Straightner

This is the first straightener that my sister bought and she went off with it so my mom and I decided to get it. I definitely love it. We didn’t want an expensive straightener that was like $40.00 or something. The straightener last time I checked was less than $20.00 (prices may vary) and very good for the price. The straightener is 1 and 1/2″ … Continue reading Review: Andis Multi Heat Ceramic Straightner
