Colors of fall... Maybelline Fall Collection

While at CVS the other day I came into a  displayv that stopped me dead in my tiny tracks.... that's right folks the new fall display for Maybelline!!! The line is runaway inspired...
They have new:
Nail colors
Blushers
Lippes
Eye studio quads
And even new colors in there popular 24 hour color tattoo line
I picked up just a few items that tickled my fancy...




I purchased all 4 new Color Tattoo shades in: 
100 Barely Beige (which is a slight pinky beige color)


200 Mossy Green (a beautiful rich green the pic does it no justice)





300 Gold Shimmer (the pic says it ALL!!)

400 Rich Mahogany (A Beautiful Brownish Purpleish color)

The Eye Shadow Quad in Olive Martini (I am pretty sure there are some MAC dupes in here)

And last but not least this Sexy Brush from Maybelline
It has no name and a few of them were on the display... so who am I to NOT buy one
the hairs are very soft. It looks like it can double for a eyeshadow brush and concealer brush

My Hair Don't Care: Bentonite Clay Hair Treatment


ben·ton·ite

 [ben-tn-ahyt]  
noun Mineralogy.
AZTEC SECRETS Indian Healing Clay
a clay formed by the decomposition of volcanic ash, having theability to absorb large quantities of water and to expand toseveral times its normal volume.

External Uses
  • Bentonite clay is used in many commercial personal care products, including baby powder, eczema lotion, face creams, mud packs and sunburn lotions. Many individuals swear that soaking in a bath with bentonite clay added to the water will help remove toxins from the body. Acne sufferers might clear things up by applying a clay mask on the affected areas. Those with chronic headaches might find relief by placing a bentonite clay pack on the back of their necks for 20 minutes. Bentonite clay should never be allowed to dry on an open wound.
How I Used It 


1 cup of  Bentonite Clay
1/2 cup (roughly) of Apple Cider Vinegar
Mixed until smooth
Applied throughout hair and scalp
Covered with plastic cap and left on hair for 30 minutes
Rinsed with warm water for 10 minutes (this stuff is hard to get out so it will take longer than 10 minutes to remove...trust me...lol)
I then conditioned my hair with
Luscious Locks Hair Mask
 
I then applied my Leave-In Sealed hair with Grape seed Oil and applied Medium twist throughout my hair.

My Thoughts

Pro: It is a good alternative to shampoo, my hair and scalp were clean
Con: It takes longer to make the hair mask, have it sit in your hair for the 30 minutes, and wash it out than it does to just shampoo

Pro:  It is excellent for defining my curls, so I didn't have to apply any gel!
Con: It left my roots looking and feeling rather parched :-/

Pro: Detangling was a BREEZE 
Con: Getting product completely out of my hair

I will be trying this again because I honestly can't decide how I feel about this product...lol

Giving my hair a break

Hey Divas!!!
Yes my hair need a break so I sealed my hair and threw some two mini & micro mini two strand twist in my hair.
I washed  & conditioned my hair with 
Organix Mandarin Olive Oil
Shampoo and Conditioner
I let the conditioner stay in my hair for about 2 hours and I washes it out 
I then apply  Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioning Milk 
Then dab of EVOO it each section of my hair before applying Organic Root Stimulator Hold-N-Pudding to twist my hair
Took 2 days to finish during this week I have been taking some of mini down to make them into micros, so probably by Sunday they all will be micros.
The original goal was to have all micros, but time didn't permit it...

My hair today...smh

Good morning DIVAS...
So my hair for today actually started last night... I got home and touched my hair for some reason I am not sure why but something told me to touch my hair. Hard. Dry. Hair. I sat there in shock because the day before I had cowashed and sealed my hair!!! So I took some Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in and Re-Two Strand Twisted it because my hair was sooo parched :(. I woke up this morning, and while still laying in bed (I was so lazy this morning... welll every morning) I felt that my hair was super moisturized!!! I was so happy I processed to unravel my twist. Once I was finished I went to the bathroom to see my results, and saw this.... 

Yes folks my hair looked a mess! It was 50% coily 50% jheri ... it wasn't the beautiful twist out I have grown to love, and expected... and that made me sad :(

I had to spring into action and come up with something!!! So very lightly damped my hair with water, and lightly coated my hair with some Shea Moisture Hair Milk. I then did two flat twist in the front of my hair on the left side and connected them at the ends









On the right side I did One flat twist


In the back I pulled the remaining hair into a messy bun.






I am going to apply a leave-in in my hair tonight, and leave it in over night so my hair so recover from whatever went wrong with my hair...
'til next time
