Boscia Sake Brightening Mask and Cleansing Water Review

Boscia Sake Brightening Mask and Cleansing Water Review

Boscia was probably one of the first skincare brands I really got into when I first started living shopping at Sephora. I was dealing with some major breakouts and I was looking for a brand that had more natural ingredients and wasn’t going to break my bank. The first product I tried, the Clear Complexion Cleanser, gave me amazing results so I stuck with the brand and started to use their Black Charcoal line. I’ve shared several of my favorites in my “What’s in my Skincare Stash” post. [ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] I know how important skincare is, especially…

How I Maintain My Curly Weave Plus A Quick Indique Organic Curl Review

How I Maintain My Curly Weave Plus A Quick Indique Organic Curl Review

In my attempt to grow out my tapered cut (again) I decided to have some hair installed. I’ve had this Indique Organic Curl for a while but just never used it so since I had an event coming up I decided that this would be the perfect time to rock it. I haven’t seen too many reviews on the Indique Organic Curl hair on the interwebs so I thought I’d share my thoughts on it while also telling you which products have been life savers for maintaining this free spirit hair. I’m currently wearing two bundles of 10-inch and 14-inch hair,…

MAC X Taraji Collection Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

MAC X Taraji Collection Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

MAC has done several celebrity collections, but nothing and I mean not one thing piqued my interest more than seeing that there was going to be an upcoming MAC X Taraji P. Henson collection!!! If watching her flawlessly play Cookie on Empire wasn’t enough now I get to rock Taraji inspired makeup on my face?? This is where I can’t even…  I love Taraji. She’s supportive of other women and their achievements, she’ll tell it like it is with a smile on her face, and she’s absolutely gorgeous. I know I’m not the only one lusting over her cheekbones.  Basically, Taraji…

Denim and Paisely

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] I’ve owned a DSLR camera since maybe around 2011 and I’m still learning new things about it every time I turn around. When I first got the camera I thought it would automatically make my pictures that much better. You know, because when you pay $1000+ for a camera that’s just supposed to happen right?

It was pointless for me to be owning this expensive camera and not…
