TweetI still can’t get over how eventful my weekend was. Almost a week later and I’m still taking it all in because I met so many wonderful people. I normally just go to Target and a chain restaurant and call it a grand ol’ time but this weekend was different. One of the events I attended was a natural hair even in Los Angeles at Carol’s Daughter (Culver City) hosted Read More ...
TweetThis was the only polish I bought at IMATS this weekend..which I’m still a little surprised about. I’ve had good luck with Inglot in the past so I went back to what I know. Inglot 707 is actually a matte cool pink with blue under-tones. I did 2 coats and used Poshe as a topcoat and it made it shine but it didn’t last long because of the matte texture Read More ...
Tweet Sexxy - The most mature and sensual fragrance of the collection. Fruity, a hint of musk and makes for a nice evening date perfume. Nice mid notes and dry-down, it mellowed out nicely. Texxt Me – My favorite of the collection! Clean, fruity and floral, soft musk with honeysuckle, jasmine, and sandalwood. This is reminiscent of Reb’l Fleur. This is a great everyday fragrance especially for spring and summer. Read More ...
Tweet Oohhhh look what arrived when I got off work today! Afrobella for MAC Cosmetics “All of My Purple Life” Lipglass is a mid-tone somewhat neutral purple gloss (with red tones depending on the pight) that can go from everyday bright sheer (with the help of clear lip gloss) to a nice build of vivid color. It also has a small amount of purple/ blue toned shimmer which makes it stand Read More ...
TweetIMATS was bananas this year! It actually sold out, I’m not sure if this is the first yet but on Sunday morning there were absolutely no more tickets left. I’ll be doing IMATS posts all this week so be patient with me. I was able to shop but more importantly attend some great classes, so I have a lot of information to share. I’ll update this post with my haul Read More ...

TweetMonths ago I published a short article on The Politics of ‘Poo and No ‘Poo (as in shampooing methods for hair). In the post I used a beautiful picture I found on Tumblr of a young lady with colorful tattoos, dressed in all black but with that sickest pair of kene cloth pattern door-knocker earrings. Makeup artist and Addicted to All Things Pretty blog reader Aisha (also known as @ICFaces Read More ...
TweetShea Moisture has expanded their brand well beyond the realm of just being a natural hair care brand. The newest introduction to the Shea Moisture family is the Organic Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil Baby Healing Lotion. Since I have eczema I tend to frequent Target’s baby section more than most adults, but they have some really good products. I treat it like a second health & beauty section– Read More ...
TweetOne of my many pet peeves is accidentally purchasing used/ swatched nail polish and seeing nail polish swatched all over store displays (here’s looking at you Wal-mart). Outside of the obvious, this bothers me so much because it interferes with the integrity of the nail polish. Once air comes in contact with the polish it starts to thicken and sometimes you’ll notice slight changes in the color. This is going Read More ...
