Are black women hair obsessed?

I've been looking at a lot of videos and articles about hair lately. There is a big "hype" or movement in the hair community about for women to "go natural". So for those who haven't been up on the hype, it's when you don't put a relaxer in your hair every time you see the curly new growth.

My new lip secret...

I talk for a living. It is always a battle to find a way to keep your lipstick not looking a hot mess. I found one way to keep my lips looking luscious without having that super matte look.

1. Moisturize your lips. (I use EOS - lemon)

2. I learned that you have to allow the moisturizer to set before applying anything else and sometimes I even blot the extra oil off.

3. Lip pencil in color of choice.

4. My secret ingredient... Nyx Soft Matte lip creams  - These work magic on top of a lip pencil to make an immovable layer of color under my lipstick. It is freaking great! Let it set before beginning the next step.

5. Lipstick (If you use the Wet n Wild matte lipstick it will come out like a paint stain for the lips... 16 HR wear)



I bought a $25 certificate on Social Goodies. You pay $25 for $50 worth of products. I think I ordered every color I could. I will try to do some looks with this.

New foundation

I decided I need foundation. The water in Texas bites. My skin is red and irritated looking. I thought it was just a tan at first. I was reading about redness on the face and the article described my redness perfectly.
I recently visited a CCO and decided to try some Bobbi Brown foundation. I REALLY believe that more expensive makeup does a better job if you find the right shade. I can't find the right MAC shades... either too dark or too light.... But I think I love my Bobbi Brown foundation.
