2nd Annual Natural Beauty Expo

Greetings Dolls,
I hope everyone is have an awesome week. Over the weekend I was a vendor at the 2nd Annual Natural Beauty Expo coordinated by the Lovely Rachel Odem of Rachel O' Beauty.com.

The shows headliner was Lisa Price creator Carols Daughter. Lisa shared her hair story beginning as a kitchen mixologist, never giving up and encourages the attendies to support one another.

Karen Tappin of Karen's Body Beautiful spoke and shared how important it is to know your ingredients and how harmful they can be to Afro textured hair. Things such as Parabens, Sulfates are found in Cancer cells. She made to mention that some ingredients put in our hair products are the same ingredients found in anti-freeze!

Karen and Rachel Odem

Kiley from Big Girl Cosmetics also demonstrated a makeup application, shared her application skills and encouraged us to follow her in the social media relm.

Even though I was a vendor I had a great time and enjoy the education that Rachel O Beauty events have to offer. Rachel's events begin on time, very organized, great sponsor and most of all she delivers the education.

Here was the goodie bag:

Even though I was a vendor I had a great time and was introduced to some new products. I highly recommend events from Rachel O Beauty!

Inglot Looks

Hey Girls!

I had a chance to play with my Inglot eyeshadows all week. Although I have many shadows from different brands in order to give adequate wear review I felt I needed to wear the shadows for a least a week. It also gave me the chance to try different looks.

One thing I look for that is second to ingredients would be longevity. I don't have to be looking haggard by the end of the day! I have a long day up I'm up at 4:30am makeup on by 8am makeup and then its off by 7pm.

Look 1

Basic Everyday Neutral. This look is simply Gorgeous! Perfect for ANY skintone. This look will be my staple neutral eye. The look has just enough shimmer to make the eyes pop but not to dramatic allowing for everyday wear.

Review - Inglot Cosmetics-Neutrals

Hello Beauties,
I have a review to share with you! ....Inglot Cosmetics. Inglot is a Polish cosmetic company that offers high quality, paraben free pigmented shadows at a great price. Eye looks coming this week, I had electrolysis this morning so no makeup today. Now off to the review!

330 Matte-light peachy matte build-able.

397 Pearl- smooth peachy shimmer great for brow highlighter

409 Pearl-Beautiful shimmer highly pigmented

360 Matte-dusty brown matte shower

327 Matte -dark brown great crease/brow color. Its close to Mac Espresso

500 Double Shine-dark brown with glitter

421 Pearl-bronze with shimmer.... I heart this one!

451 Pearl Metallic silver-great for a smokey eye

391 Matte Black-great for outer V. Not as black as MUG Corrupt but it does the job in the outer V.

Inglot sells these eyeshadows part of there Freedom System. The eyeshadows are sold in magnetic pans and in 5 finishes:

***Matte-Dull shine

***Pearl- Satin Finish

***Double Sparkle-Satin Base with fine glitter

***AMC- means "advance makeup component" this finish is sweat resistent, talc free and contaings vitamin. It has more shine with fine glitter

***AMC Shine-sae as AMC but more glitter.

When you go on their website its a NIGHTMARE!!!!! Go and see...its super confusing no swatches and animated shade colors....ACK! Rant finish. However you can purchase these shades at Beautylish thanks to You Tuber Melmphs for this mention. Awesome sight they even have REAL swatches for fair skin and deep skin. Did I mention these highly pigmented shadows are only $6! Yup Inglots six dollar eyeshadows contain 2.7 grams while Mac contains 0.05. Inglots also has their own palette configurations too. I do want to get a few for travel but I wanted to stay within budget so I opted for the shadows instead!

I actually put mine in my Z palette instead.

Bottom Line:

I will definitely purchase more Inglot eyeshadows from......Beautylish only, lol.

Pros:

Paraben Free

Highly Pigmented

Comparable to Mac

Larger than Mac

Available in refill Pans already magnetized

Cons:

Inglots Website is not shoppable as you can not determine the true shade colors.

Later dolls! Stay tuned for eye looks this week!

New Updo and Bold Lip

Greetings Dolls,
Whew I have been partaking in all kinds of things this weekend! I had my Havana twists installed by someone and they were beautiful but simply too tight! Here is the before picture from my God Bless America post. You have to be careful that your protective style is actually protecting!
I took the twists down after a week and did an updo. See:

I stretched my hair pulled it up in 3 pony tails like a mohawk and started twisting and wrapping like a crazy woman. I have a million hairpins in here too,lol. So whatcha think?

Products:
