Review: Cantu Shea Butter Break Cure Strenghtening Treatment....

Two weeks ago, I bought Cantu Shea Butter Break Cure in search of a daily moisturizer. I thought to myself, since I love the relaxer,I would like this, too. Even though on the website its described to use...Directions: After rinsing shampoo, apply a generous amount of conditioner to hair. Massage in from the roots to the tips. Rinse thoroughly. Style as usual, the jar states it can be used as a daily moisturizer.

So, I apply it and seal my hair with my oil mix. It takes to much product to "cover" the hair. Then it doesn't do anything special...

But the worst part...It doesn't work well with heated appliances...AT ALL. I tried flat iron my hair after putting on a bit for a shine and it made my hair hard as a brick.

No more products from Cantu outside of that banging relaxer they make. boo.:(

Review: Tarte ReCreate natural anti-aging foundation with Wrinkle Rewind™ Technology SPF 15

This weekend, I had the chance to try out some great new goodies from Tarte. They are blazing trails in "green beauty" and I want to get on board. I've have been wearing Tarte ReCreate
natural anti-aging foundation with Wrinkle Rewind™ Technology SPF 15 in Warm Walnut( picture above). Here's why I'm in LOVE with this foundation:

-The coverage is full...My face was fully covered, scars and all. Would make a great concealer, if you wanted to do I couple spots here and there. But I'm a "drag queen" and full face is my favorite look.Lol!

-My face was instantly moisturized. I forgot to put on moisturizer on my face Sunday morning and put on ReCreate and it didn't feel tight or dry.

-Stays put for HOURS. Not a smudge, or a stain on my clothes, nothing!! I took a nap Sunday afternoon with it on and my pillowcase was clean when I awoke.

-Perfect color match with lots of colors for brown divas...I choose Warm Walnut and it was a perfect match. Tarte's website gives you a detailed description of each color(ex: Warm Walnut-deep tan skin with yellow undertones). The Walnut color is ALREADY SOLD OUT. Go get ReCreate Foundation now!!

Rural Glamour:Weekend N.O.T.D and Revlon Marble-ous Match...

Hi Everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was okay, blessed to be alive!!! I played in makeup and beauty goodies all weekend...preparing for a great week here on Rural Glamour.:)

I did this N.O.T.D. on Saturday. It's Revlon Black Lingerie. It's one of there new colors they've come out with. Revlon is stepping the game up in nail polish. Black Lingerie is creamy and glossy. It has no shimmer and its not flat colored. Best black nail color in my collection so far....Please get this if you see it, you will not disappointed!

I picked up Revlon Marble-ous Match in Steeling Beauty a couple of weeks ago. I decided to play with it last night and absolutely adore it!!! Its a shadow pencil on one end, liner on the other.

The shadow pencil end is very soft and it took about three layers to get intensity.I lined with the liner pencil end on the top and bottom and smudged the top to blend in the colors...

I need the other colors in the pencil. I got mine at Walgreens for like $2.40 clearance. It was the only color left...now I want the other colors. Have you tried any of the Marble-ous Matches?
