N.O.T.D: Essie Pama....

Hi!!

Here's a N.O.T.D. of Essie Pama. It was free promotional sign-up between Pama Liqueur and Essie that I received as an email a couple of weeks ago. I never get the any LE makeup or collections that come out. Either I'm broke, to cheap to buy it, or not interested because I've read 50-11 blogs rave on it.Well, I got my Essie Pama last week and the MUA nail board was going bananas on when everyone was getting theirs in the mail.

I have to say...its prettier in the bottle than on me. I thought it would be a deeper red on but its a bright read on me. It looks like Essie Fishnet Stockings on my nails. *sigh* I only put two coats on...maybe be three would have been the trick.

Who else got this and what do you think about it? Let your cousin know.:)

RG Project...Nine Days of L'Oreal H.I.P....Forgiving...Day 9...

Okay...Forgive me for this wack photo of the H.I.P. Duo in Forgiving. I forgot to snap a photo of it at home before I came over to my Mom's house to partake in her free wi-fi. But...Cuzins!!...God is So Good! I got blessed with a new computer courtesy of my auntie the day before Thanksgiving!!!

Cue The Shouting Music......!!!

So, as soon as a break down and get some internet of my own....grrr....I'll be posting from the house. And will never have to remember to bring everything with me when I come over Momma's.

Now, this is last installment of the Project, but I will say, I bought two more H.I.P. e/s' yesterday at Walgreens. So I got two more reviews coming soon. I remember buying Forgiving, thinking that this is a weird combo of blue and brown. The first time I used it, it didn't work for me. But after eight days of getting to know my H.I.P. e/s' I felt I could do this one...again.

First, I'm so proud of my blending technique!! Are you not proud of me!! It looks so nice!! lol!

The turquoise color is pretty but a bit deceiving. You think it's intense but its that same "hard to work" color that I've come across in their shadows. The brown color, however, is perfect, true to life, and a great day shadow.

Thanks to everyone who has checked out my RG Project on the H.I.P. eye shadows...:) I love you all! I'm so blessed to be able shared a passion for makeup, beauty, and fashion and I thank God for this talent, even though shelter it alot and some what scared of it. I'm working hard at letting it take its course:)

RG Project...Nine Days of L'Oreal H.I.P....Dynamic...Day 8...

Hi All!!

This morning on the 8th day of the L'Oreal H.I.P. eye shadow duo Project and did Dynamic. I'm not quite hot on it. The lighter muted gold side took too much effort for the color. Like layers and layers before I got the intensity I like. The dark taupe black side was so-so, so this whole duo is declared a miss. Anybody got this one and what do I think about it? Speak...:)

R. Glamour Chick: Maryn and Her Top Five Hair Product Picks...

When I needed a "hairdressa", she came through. In the summer of 2002, my line sister Jocelyn was getting married and I was instructed to "get my hair done". I was wearing a very unruly yet sexy fro that my current boyfriend loved and adored and so did I. But, Jocey wanted me to be a bit more polished as a bridesmaid. So, for her, I asked her cousin Maryn, who is licensed cosmetologist ,about to come to the WU in the fall, to do my hair.

She took my fro, braided it down , and stitched in one the prettiest curly weave dos' I have ever rocked. Everyone loved it, including the bride. Maryn is definitely one out of two people I trust in my head.lol! She also gave me my one and only micro-braids, that were the best thing smoking! Too bad I can't sit for long periods of time to get my hair braided.

Now, my soror Maryn, is still doing her thang and I recently caught up with her to asked her her top 5 hair products...I knew she wouldn't let me down! She says:

Mizani Oil Sheen ("not heavy and great shine")

Keracare Silk Sheen ("great sheen and silk agents")

Keracare Humecto conditioner ( "smells great and softens hair")

Ellen Lavar Thermal Iron spray ( "light and protects against heat")

Keracare Hydrating Shampoo ( "smells great and leaves hair tangle free")

Now I got a new hair wish and shopping list!!
