March 6th will be 8 months! YAY! I'm really anxious to cut off my relaxed ends. But, im trying to wait until I make it to a year before I do so! Im considered doing it at the "<u>Natural's</u> Night Out" event that im going to in NYC this June (more details to come in a later post), but I haven't quite decided yet!</p><p>For now, I've been trying to keep my hair "put away" as I call it. Im trying to stay on the protective path. First I had a sew in that I loved the look of. But, as expensive as the hair was, it was so hard to keep it detangled.</center><br /><br /><center><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_t-7pjgU87CQ/TWldSRsa9SI/AAAAAAAAAHk/5v22SGQLf_8/010211180018.png'/></center><br /><br /><br /><center>Besides that, I get bored with things very easily.</p><p>Right now, I have senegalese twist, and as much as I don't like micro braids, I love these.<br /><br /><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_t-7pjgU87CQ/TWldQgS3LoI/AAAAAAAAAHg/AprqJVtxy2k/2011-02-17_10-59-25_100.png'/><br /><br /></p><p>I've had them for two weeks.

They're not available in stores yet(that I know of) but I'm hearing that they will be sold at Sally Beauty Supply sometime in March. If you're interested be sure to keep an eye out because polish collections sell out fast at Sally's. Well, at the one by me anyway!<br /><br />I took a nail wheel that I got when I ordered polish from Zoya and tried to swatch each color for you guys since I've only used the black one, but the polish did not crack on the wheel. Therefore, I only have a pic of the "black mesh". I will definitely add the other colors in another nail design post as I use them. But, for now, here is "Black Mesh" over Cover Girl's "Bronze Beauty".<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=2011-02-18_10-40-00_169-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2011-02-18_10-40-00_169-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />The manicure lasted about 7 days. I would of kept it longer but if you look closely at the picture, you can see that my polish started receding from the tip (all thanks to my Seche Vite top coat. I'm gonna hunt for another fast dry top coat. I love Seche, but I don't love the polish shrinkage. If you guys have any suggestions leave a comment below!)<br /><br /><b>My Opinion:</b> I think I'm gonna love these polishes. I say "think" because I've only tried the one, but I absolutely love it! They make chipped polish look good, and they're fun to pair up with a bunch of colors. So many different manicure opportunities! I'm all for it.<br /><br />XOXO</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-61600217424114059932011-01-05T19:27:00.004-05:002011-01-05T20:02:21.919-05:00NAILS !!<center>Happy New Year guys ! =)<br /><br />As promised, I'm back with a post full of nail designs that I've done. Some with the help of Konad, some by hand. Nail Art and polishing my nails has been a hobby of mine for about two years now. At one point I was polishing my nails everyday, just because I found it fun. Now, since I don't have as much time I try to wear a manicure for at least 3 days. With my job, they begin to chip by then anyway. This whole obsession started with me trying not to bite my nails, and having polish on them was the only thing that kept them out of my mouth because I didn't want to ruin it. Now I'm more about experimenting with different things. I really find it fun. I just received my first nail polish rack today and put it up on my bedroom wall. I LOVE. <br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=2011-01-05_13-16-06_62-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2011-01-05_13-16-06_62-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I already need another one. I had no idea I had that many until they were up there. I'm gonna order another one really soon because there are a lot of spring nail polish collections that I'll be getting! I'll try to post those for you guys, in case you're interested as well ! But for now, onto the pics. These were taken with my old cell phone so excuse the quality. I didn't know at the time that I would be posting them anywhere.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_0625001432-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_0625001432-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_1203092209-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_1203092209-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_0413000701-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_0413000701-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_0307091346-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_0307091346-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_0216001006-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_0216001006-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=downsized_0212001727-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/downsized_0212001727-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=1231081748-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/1231081748-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=1212092013_0001-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/1212092013_0001-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=0125001812_0001-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/0125001812_0001-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />XOXOO<br /> </center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-15049974032892913462010-12-14T21:27:00.003-05:002010-12-14T21:44:04.563-05:00Ummm..<center>About that nail product that I was supposed to be reviewing for you guys.. I DID NOT forget about it.. I wanted to have before and after pics of my nails so you could actually SEE the results BUT..nail biting is a nervous habit of mine and sometimes I do it without even realizing until it's too late. I have gotten better about it and grown my nails to pretty nice lengths without biting..but my nerves have been shot lately and my nails are gross right about now! With the holiday season at work, I haven't had much time to keep them polished and that is what prevents me from biting them..But, to day , I polished what's left of them and I'm working on growing them back out so I can get that review to you guys! <br /><br />One day soon I'll put up pics of some of my past manicures. I try to keep my nails looking spiffy, but with no time it's hard. I've literally been going to work coming home, showering, going to sleep and going back to work! Last Friday I did manage to sneak out of work early enough to see Usher's OMG concert. Amazing. I will post pics and possibly footage from that also once I get everything uploaded! =) Great Show!<br /><br />NOW! The real reason I wanted to post today is because I've been thinking..I want to start interacting with you guys more..So, a way for me to do so is to start having contests and giveaways and things of that nature..what do you think?! I appreciate my readers, even if you don't comment so why not give back sometimes right? <br /><br />I'm thinking of starting January 2011, but I need feedback. If no one's going to participate, im not going to waste my time! Soooo..let me know! I 'll leave it up to you guys. =)=)=) I wanna know who's out there and who's actually paying attention. I have some awesome ideas in mind!<br /><br /><b>Upcoming posts:</b><br />Hair Update<br />Past Manicures<br />Usher OMG Tour<br /><br />Stay tuned..<br /><b>XOXO</b> </center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-46532716140915536282010-11-25T13:43:00.001-05:002010-11-25T13:49:41.320-05:00HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !<center><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=thanksgiving-charlie-brown-snoopy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/thanksgiving-charlie-brown-snoopy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Hope you guys have a safe and happy holiday !</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-39592141917394176572010-11-22T21:29:00.009-05:002010-11-23T21:52:09.215-05:00REVIEW TUESDAY: "GROW IT" By: Chicoro<center>Today's review is going to be a little different because it's a BOOK that I will be telling you guys about ! This book was presented to me by a youtuber !<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=chicoro-grow-it-cover-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/chicoro-grow-it-cover-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />It says "How to grow afro-textured hair to maximum lengths in the shortest time". The title alone sold me. It's a book about how to care for not only natural hair, but hair period. What's a more perfect time for me to find a book like this than in the beginning of my transition, right? I was excited when I saw it and ordered it right away from amazon.com. It was $17 and change and that included the shipping! <br /><br />It's a pretty thin book, didn't take long to read at all and what she explains is how to treat and care for your hair to preserve it's length. She has a six step process that she calls the "grow it process" on how to attain growth and retain length. I don't wanna give to much away because that may mess with her book sales, but I will share the six steps with you:<br />1. De-tangle<br />2. Cleanse<br />3. Condition<br />4. Moisturize<br />5. Protect<br />6. Grow it !<br /><br />Of course she gives way more detail and example than that, but again..if I gave away everything, no one would buy the book. So if you are interested in those details and examples, you should pick it up!<br /><br /><b>My Opinion:</b> This book taught me safer ways to care for my hair. One thing I don't have when it comes to hair is patience! So, this process is teaching me to make time and take time when doing my hair. She goes into the science and biology of the hair which, to me, is boring..(not just in her book, I don't like most biology period), but you have to know what you're dealing with when you're trying to care for something! She also explained the Ph of hair. I learned on youtube that any products you put in your hair should have a Ph of 4.0-7.0! And they sell strips to test it! I don't have any yet, but that is on my list of things to buy next!! Maybe I'll do a short video on how those work once I get them! But, back to the book.. The bottom line is if you want to grow your hair to long lengths, you have to learn to preserve the hair that has already grown from your scalp. You'll never have long length if your hair keeps breaking when it reaches a certain point. So you have to be gentle, take the extra time needed to do things to your hair without causing it so much stress. The book is pretty great for someone who doesn't know much about how to properly care for hair(me!).. and it's even better for someone that is transitioning because Chicoro transitioned at one point and now her hair is all natural, gorgeous, and crazy long! If you know someone who just got into hair care, this book would be a nice gift! I can't say much more other than it being a great addition to my journey. I'm happy I found it when I did, so that I could correct any mistakes that I may or may not have been making..And I just hope that what worked for her, works for me too ! ;D I'll keep you guys posted!<br /><br /><i>[Below are pictures of Chicoro's gorgeous hair]</i><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=chic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/chic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=chicoro.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/chicoro.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view&current=chicoro2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/chicoro2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />XOXO</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-36894220849270439922010-11-16T15:18:00.003-05:002010-11-16T15:51:35.057-05:00Ahhh !<center>Time is totally slipping passed me. I had no idea it's been over a month since I've last blogged. I know every blogger's excuse is "I've been busy" but seriously, I have been so caught up in work and life's curve balls that blogging totally slipped my mind. Once again, <b>I'M SORRY</b> for those of you that actually read my posts. I'll leave you guys with a quick update for now.<br /><br />My two favorite holidays are coming up.. this is THEE happiest time of year for me. I've been dying for a Christmas tree since the beginning of October. It's almost time!! =D I haven't been shopping as much as I'd like because now it's all about having money for Xmas gifts! I've been on the broke side so far this month(lmaoo) but it's okay because this is the perfect time for me to give back to the people who have been there for me throughout the year and nothing makes me happier than seeing them happy! Time to put my selfish shopping habits aside. My Mom's birthday is at the end of this month too. Lucky her, she gets double the big gifts. =D She's way more than worth it.<br /><br />But, enough about the holidays because I can go on forever. Let's see what I have coming up for you guys... <i>HMM?</i> I have two reviews that I can finally do. One is for a natural hair care book that I JUST finished reading last night! Pretty great read, I learned quite a bit, but I'll go more into that in a later post. The other is a nail product that I've been using that has worked miracles on the growth of my nails. The nail biter in me/my nerves butchered my growth this passed week, but that's ok.. they'll grow back fast and that I know for a fact!<br /><br />I'm still in the process of finding what works best for my hair. When I ordered the book I mentioned earlier, I decided that I was gonna braid up most of my hair and sew in a weave, and so, I did! I feel like my hair needed a break from me as much as I needed a break from it..but I miss it now, and I'm ready to take it out after a week and two days. smh. I'm gonna keep it in until atleast friday, but im anxious to start my NEW journey with all of the things I've learned. I'm gonna start hair a book for myself to track what I'm doing.. to see what works, what doesn't and fill it with pics so I can see my own progress. Hopefully I can help atleast <b>ONE</b> person the way youtube and this book has helped me! I'm still excited about this natural thing. I can't wait to have no more straight ends.<br /><br />If you guys are at all interested in keeping up with what I'm doing and get tired of waiting for me to blog..Again, check out my twitter: @miizvalentine ! I'm on there at least once a day, usually more.. and I babble about my hair, nails, and everything else quite often.<br /><br />I'll definitely get those reviews to you on the fly! lol. But until then...<br />XOXO</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-65737548377100410072010-10-12T12:11:00.000-04:002010-10-12T12:11:28.172-04:00REVIEW TUESDAY: Wild Growth Hair Oil<center><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=wgh.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/wgh.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I heard rave reviews about this oil from ladies with natural hair, so, I decided this would be the first of many products that I'd try throughout my transition. As far as I know, this oil is only available at Sally Beauty Supply(I shop there a lot, huh?)and it retails for $7.99($7.89 with Sally's Beauty Club Card).<br /><br /><b>WHAT IT CLAIMS:</b><br /><br />Wild Growth Hair Oil is made of 100% natural ingredients that work together to condition, detangle and help you achieve longer-lasting presses.<br /><br />Turn dry, tangled and hard to manage hair into softer, healthier hair without split ends and reduced breakage. Wild Growth Hair Oil will keep your tresses healthy from root to tip by conditioning the scalp and this will lead to longer, fuller hair that grows.<br /><br /><b>MY OPINION:</b><br />This oil makes my new growth soft and manageable for sure! That in itself is a WIN for me. I always read, and watch reviews for a product before I buy. The reviews for this one scared me a little. People were totally butchering the smell of this oil, and I almost didn't try it because who wants to walk around with stink hair? But, when I got it and smelled it for myself, I realized they were being really dramatic. I read "oh, how it smells like fish." "It makes me nauseous smelling it" all types of things, but truthfully, the smell really isn't that bad! And on top of it not being so bad, after about an hour or so after application, you can't even smell it anymore. It does smell like food. NOT fish, but food. But, it's a bareable smell, and for what it does for my hair? I can easily get over it. This oil is a bit heavy, so a little definitely goes a long way. If you use too much, your hair WILL be greasy. The bottle suggests using 5-15 drops. I've never really counted how many I use, but I have a lot of hair and I use about a nickel sized amount. I recently tried it for straightening my hair since it claims to work for longer lasting "presses". I'll have to get back to you guys on whether or not my straight hair lasted longer than usual because its only been 3 days. But, I have to say, for me to be 3 months and change post relaxer, my hair look and feels amazing. The bottle gives instructions on how much to use for different hair types. If you have dry, brittle hair, this is definitely going to be a life saver for you!</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-78872968102362509702010-10-06T16:49:00.000-04:002010-10-06T20:54:13.057-04:00Au Naturel?? YES !<center>SO. I made the decision to no longer relax my hair about a month ago. It had already been 8 weeks since I'd last relaxed, and it was almost time for another.. But, I was totally inspired to throw my relaxer in the trash when I reunited with my big sis(yes, my blood sis! check out her blog =) ->> http://blaquebettyboop.blogspot.com)and saw how gorgeous her natural hair was! I mean, it was full, healthy, just plain beautiful so I mad the choice to finally see what my natural hair is like. <br /><br />I've been getting relaxers since a very young age. I started out with the kiddie kits..I really don't remember what my hair was like before it, and felt like I couldn't survive without a relaxer. I've blogged in the past about my love, hate relationship with my hair. But, now it's all love and I'm ready to dive in head first on this journey!<br /><br />Today, I am officially 3 MONTHS POST RELAXER!! =D My last relaxer was 07/06/10! I'm excited, and even more PROUD of myself. I was one of those girls who relaxed her hair as soon as my new growth felt the least bit unmanageable! I KNOW, it wasn't healthy for my hair, but I didn't care because I didn't know what to do with it without it being relaxed. BUT NOW!! I realize there are so many possibilities and hairstyles to try, and taking care of my hair has become my new hobby. It's SO much fun to me now that I've embraced what I felt like was so much trouble in the past. And now, I'm SO anxious to see what my natural hair is going to be like, and I can't wait to be free of my relaxed ends!<br /><br />I'd be more than willing to take you guys with me through the ups and downs of my transition. Maybe share hairstyles that I come up with, and I've already began sharing my hair care products. If you're going natural also, or even if you're not and you're interested, let me know. I'll MAKE more time to post these things. =)<br /><br /><b>XXOX ;)</b></center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-27543367773346944322010-10-05T13:41:00.003-04:002010-10-05T14:54:56.189-04:00REVIEW TUESDAY: ONE 'N ONLY ARGAN OIL<center>This is a line of shampoo and conditioner that I wanted to try once I decided to go natural(I'll speak more about my decision in a later post)! This line is sold at Sally Beauty Supply, and it retails for $9.49($8.49 if you're a Sally's beauty club member) each bottle. They were buy two get one free when I purchased!! Really great deal!<br />I originally went to Sally's to purchase the whole collection but, at the time they didn't have the oil treatment.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=oil-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/oil-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <br /><br />I ended up getting the Moisture Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and the Restorative Mask. The shampoo and conditioner are both sulfate, phosphate, and paraben free, which is awesome! I plan to go back to see if they have the oil in stock very soon. Right now, I'm using a different oil so I wasn't SO sad that they didn't have this one.. but I'm definitely going to try it!<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=2010-10-05_13-39-05_456.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2010-10-05_13-39-05_456.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT IT CLAIMS:</b><br /><br /><b>One 'n Only Argan Oil Moisture Repair Shampoo</b><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=shampoo.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/shampoo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />One 'n Only Argan Oil Moisture Repair Shampoo is a gentle cleansing formula that hydrates and restores moisture levels, improving the overall health and appearance of the hair. This formula is Sulfate, Phosphate and Paraben free, which makes it safe for chemically and color treated hair. Helps repair damage caused by chemicals, excessive heat from styling, and environmental factors. <br /><br /><b>One 'n Only Argan Oil Moisture Repair Conditioner</b><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=cond.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/cond.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />One 'n Only Argan Oil Moisture Repair Conditioner is a daily conditioner that helps reconstruct, detangle and replenish moisture levels, instantly nourishing dull, weak, and damaged hair. Helps repair and smooth the cuticle and helps improve the structure of the hair. Improves shine and manageability. Provides color protection.<br /><br /><b>One 'n Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask</b><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=rest.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/rest.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />One 'n Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask is formulated to help improve texture and manageability. Leaves hair looking healthy with incredible shine. Provides color protection and helps reverse damage caused by environmental factors, heat stress, and chemical color treatments.<br /><br />____________ <br /><br /><b>My Opinion:</b> These products are definitely true to claim when it comes to providing moisture. The shampoo gives a GREAT lather and when it rinses out leaves your hair feeling so smooth and healthy. <br /><br />The conditioner definitely makes it a breeze to detangle (which is a relief for my transition).. But, I find that with the conditioner, the front portion of my hair (which is bleached blonde) was a little harder to detangle. I'm thinking it has something to do with damage that the bleach caused because it's only harder to detangle that one part of my hair! <br /><br />I didn't really see much difference in results between the Moisture Repair Conditioner and the Restorative Mask. My hair pretty much felt the same after using each one. The Restorative Mask is more of a deep conditioner, but they both give <b>MY</b> hair the same result.<br /><br />I absolutely adore this line, and it has officially become a part of my hair care routine. I've been searching and searching for a shampoo and conditioner that I could stick to using and this is definitely it. It's perfect for someone like me who doesn't like greasy, weighed down hair because I don't have to use very much oil, or moisturizing products after my wash. Also, I forgot to mention how good it smells! I'm very satisfied with these products, and hopefully I'll love the oil just as much.(I will do a review on it once I've used it for a while.) This line is for all hair types, so I recommend it to anyone whose looking to try a new, great hair care line!</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-25315377374763168142010-09-21T13:37:00.008-04:002010-09-21T15:00:48.053-04:00REVIEW TUESDAYS??: "MOOD" !<center>I've decided that I want to come to you guys every Tuesday(my day off), and review a product that I've tried. I'm not turning this into a beauty blog, but that's what I'm into(hair, nails, makeup), so I will blog about it every now and then! Let me know if you guys think this would be a good idea or not. And if you have more things that you want to see from me, feel free to drop a comment! ;)<br /><br />__________________<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=0921101404113.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/0921101404113.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The first product I'm bringing to you guys is Claire's "Mood" color changing polish.<br />Price: $5, buy on get one 50% off when purchased! I purchased two of them about a week ago, and so far I've only worn the pink one!<br /><br /><br />The pink polish changes from a Barbie pink(mood being "silly") to a darker pink(mood being "awesome")! And the "orangy coral" one changes from the "orangy coral" color(mood being "excited" to a very pale orange, almost beige(mood being "bored")! A lot of you know that I'm a nail polish fiend, so when I saw these I had to see what they were about!(they're both cream finishes, although the pink one seems as if it has shimmer in the bottle)<br /><br />Now, I'm sure everyone has had a mood ring at some point in their life and you know its supposed to change according to "how you feel"! Whether you believe that there's truth behind the rings or not is up to you, but these polishes DON'T work that way! After wearing the pink one for a day, I realized that it actually changes according to temperature! When my hands were cold I got the darker pink color, and when they were warm, I got the Barbie pink color.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=2010-09-15_18-13-39_906.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2010-09-15_18-13-39_906.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>[cold, dry hands =X]</i><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=2010-09-15_18-46-26_98.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2010-09-15_18-46-26_98.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>[warm hands, hopefully you can tell with the different lighting! I'll post better pics when I try out the orange one!]</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><i><b>My Opinion:</b> I absolutely love the polishes and I'm going to get the rest of the colors that they offer. Of course it doesn't change according to your mood, but I find it pretty cool that the color changes period!! I recommend them to anyone who into nail polish like me! =D</i></center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-35242575673709886812010-08-17T17:44:00.003-04:002010-08-17T21:46:52.218-04:00<center>I came across this little gadget on youtube(of course) and I thought to my self "I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE"! <br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=epi.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/epi.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>(these pics were taken w| my cell phone. Excuse the quality, guess i'll use the digi next time!)</i><br /><br />It's the Emjoi Soft Caress Epilator. An epilator is basically a bunch of tweezers that electrically rip hair out from the root. I know that sounds harsh but, that's what it does, in a nutshell.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=epi2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/epi2.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>(it comes with the actual epilator, a cleaning brush because you CANNOT put this model in water, a protective cover for the tweezer heads, a "finger massage" attatchment, a small loofah for exfoliating before and after epilating[not shown in picture because it's in my shower. ;)], a bag to carry it in, and a charger!)</i><br /><br />My first question when I first saw this thing was "Omg, How bad does that hurt?" and let me tell you.. I'm not gonna sugar coat it the least bit, it hurts like HELL! BUT, so far, it is true to claim..it does remove the hair much longer than shaving. I can't exactly say that it lasts 4-6 weeks like the package says yet because I haven't had it that long, but I can say that the hair I did epilate hasn't grown back yet! With all of that said, I absolutely LOVE this thing! Yes, it hurts, but the pain is bearable. Especially if you're tired of shaving every 2-3 days like me!<br /><br />I should also say that the pain will be different for everyone depending on your tolerance. If I had to compare it to something I've experienced, I would say it hurts more than getting a tattoo.. if you're really curious, yank out a hair, and imagine that pain multiplied because with this it pulls out more than one hair at a time! Word on the street is that the more you use it, the less it hurts..but again, I can't co-sign because I'm still waiting for the hair to grow back! (&that's a great thing!)<br /><br />I ordered mine from beautychoice.com . It was $69.95 and shipped in about two weeks because it was on backorder. =/ They have a bunch of different models to choose from. Cheaper and more expensive. Go check it out if you're interested! I'm thiking of upgrading already, and I haven't had mine a month yet! ;)</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-39055393286964423072010-04-29T18:36:00.004-04:002010-04-29T19:28:24.014-04:00TO THE BEACH !<center>Summer seems to be coming a little early this year! & of course, I can't wait!!<br /><br />On <b>May 27th</b>, MAC will be launching a new collection called "To the beach"!<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=ttb.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/ttb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Lot's of bronzy and bright colors in this collection!

I'm a LUSH.<center><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=2bf26664052dbd2d_lush-250x250.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/2bf26664052dbd2d_lush-250x250.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <br /><br />Not exactly the kind of lush you were probably thinking, but, close enough. I was introduced to Lush Cosmetics on youtube. Those of you that read my blog in the past know that I watch the beauty/make-up gurus on youtube probably about as much as I watch tv! Anywhoo, I stumbled across a few videos where the girls talk about Lush and I watched them rave and sniff stuff, and I was sold. I mean, who doesn't love soap?(if you don't, YOU SHOULD!) +they sell much more than that.<br /><br />I finally made it to a store a little before Christmas. I had no idea what to try, so I started with two of their gift sets. I wasn't TOO pleased with them BUT I went back this passed Saturday, and racked up on a few goodies && so far I'm in looooove!<br /><br />I got:<br /><b>Sea Vegetable Soap</b><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=svs.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/svs.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>lavender|lime scent. has sea salt + seaweed for exfoliating.</i><br><b>Sexy Peel</b><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=sp.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/sp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i> OMG! my favorite so far! lemon scent. has lemon + orange peel. smells SO good.</i><br><b> The GodMother Soap</b><br><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=gm.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/gm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><i> Okay, I lied. THIS one is my fav! It kind of smells the "swedish fish" (the candy) with a hint of something that I can't explain. I literally wanna eat this one. =X</i><br><br /><b>Buffy Body Bar</b><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=bbb.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/bbb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>This is a body butter. It's an exfoliator that you use at the end of your shower, and it moisturizes so you don't have to put on lotion when you get out. Kind of rough, but I like it. Smells like cocoa|shea butter mostly.</i><br /><b> B Electro Shower Gel</b><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=be.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/be.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>grapefruit scented. how could I leave neon shower gel in the store? it probably glows in the shower!=)</i><br /><br />And after spending 60 something dollars on the stuff above, I got to pick a FREE gift! <br />I chose:<br /><b>Happy Hippy Shower Gel</b><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/?action=view¤t=hh.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/BabyGirl72327/hh.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><i>citrus scented as well. guess im a citrusy kind of girl. this is the one I decided to use first. I absolutely love it. my whole house smells like grapefruits, lemons, and oranges when I get out of the shower!</i><br /><br />It's safe to say I have ANOTHER addiction(nail polish, and shopping in general being two of the others!). <br /><br />If you guys want to check it out, go to <a href="http://www.lush.com">LUSH.COM</a> and use the store locator to find out if there's one near you. You can place orders online, but thats no fun if you've never smelled anything in person!<br /><br />Happy Shopping!<br /><b>XXOX</b></center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-46150195918097132262010-03-01T17:15:00.004-05:002010-03-02T14:29:16.727-05:00YUM !<center> I thought Trey's next video was gonna be "Yo side of the bed" after I saw clips from the making of the video with Keri Hilson. .

It would take waaaay too long to type out everything.. and I honestly don't feel like typing my life story.<br /><br />&&<br /><br />2. I doubt anyone wants to READ my life story SO.. consider this an update!<br /><br />I'd much rather just start posting! I think that'd be a lot more interesting. [Besides, school and work just about sums up what I've been up to. <i>Blaaaah</i>.]<br /><br /><br />♥P.S.♥<br /><br />Happy belated Valentine's day to all of the lovers out there! ♥ I hope you guys had a good day/weekend. I did! =D Didn't start out that way, but making up made for an even more interesting weekend ! ;)</center>Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248793829879645126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968354435236052994.post-6856265041408993472010-02-10T17:21:00.004-05:002010-02-10T17:36:53.708-05:00 hellooo .
