Go Confidently with the New At Home Jolen Creme Bleach Kit

Go Confidently with the New At Home Jolen Creme Bleach Kit

The subject of bleaching facial hair is often not discussed among women of color unless you are of a lighter complexion. When I was young I basically learned how to shave and self taught myself how to tweeze. Being that I am brown skinned with almost non existent facial hair I’ve never had to really worry about bleaching until I decided to lighten my hair color. Lightening my hair automatically was a drastic change to my looks and while I loved the new me I didn’t love the stark contrast between my hair and my eyebrows.  Now in order to…

The Magical Eraser: Lancôme Visionnaire 1 Minute Blur

The Magical Eraser: Lancôme Visionnaire 1 Minute Blur

I upgraded my beauty routine with Lancôme Visionnaire [1 Minute] Blur as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #PhotoPerfectSkin You often here the old saying “There is beauty in growing old”. I didn’t always believe this to be entirely true until I realized that the saying doesn’t implicitly mean your looks. I was always told that I looked just like my Father growing up, and well while it’s nice to be compared to a man you love and admire you can’t really tout that as a huge accomplishment in the beauty world. Just this past winter I realized that…

Top Ten Fall Fragrances that leave you feeling Powerful, Sexy and Seductive.

Fall Fragrances are here! I think the cooler months are my favorite when it comes to Fragrances because I don’t have to worry about the scents mixing with my body chemistry when it’s trying to deal with the hotness and humidity in the air.

They exude the feeling of power, sexiness and being seductiveness.  I put together a list of Fall Fragrances that I definitely wouldn’t mind making space for on my perfume tray. If I had to choose a favorite Fall Fragrance it would definitely be…

Not Your Grandmothers Floral -Florabotanica Balenciaga Perfume

Not Your Grandmothers Floral -Florabotanica Balenciaga Perfume

 “The wearer is beautiful but dangerous, like some rare botanical species” I pride myself on being a fragrance connoisseur. I love to have different scents for all the seasons as well as scents for different occasions. Florabotnica Balenciaga is definitely not your grandmothers Floral perfume. Unlike scents from the past, this one is super complex and takes you on a rollercoaster ride throughout the Hidden Garden. Florabotanica evokes ambivalent bewitching beauty. Velvety and thorny, flirting with hemp and vetiver roots. The scent is flowery, developed on a rose note with a narcotic hemp twist. This fragrance is not for the…

Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

I made my legs happy with Skintimate as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SkintimateStars though all opinions are my own. Judging by this photo you can probably already tell that I have a very complicated Beauty Routine. Between skin care, color correcting, highlight and contouring, and adding eyeshadow it sorta “takes a village” to help me look presentable in the morning. I’m a firm a believer in the phrase “Beauty Comes from Within”. Women spend so much time and money hoping that there is a magic product that will make the look and feel beautiful, yet what they…
