Game Night Makeup Look

Hi lovelies! This look is from a couple weeks back on Valentine’s day weekend – yeah, I know, I’m super late. Honestly, this wasn’t a date; it was more like a game night. My husband, my brother and I went to Concord Mills in Concord, NC to eat and play at Dave and Buster’s for the night. The main motivation was just to get out of town for the night and spend some time together (when us three go out we always cut up and have fun haha). We waited a while for a table to sit and eat (it was PACKED in there, though I don’t know what I expected with it being the weekend before Valentine’s day), and playing almost any game was a five minute wait, but it was a blast anyways!

The photo is a little potato-y but we were running late when I took the pictures so I had to run! I only got one good photo. Anyways, on to the products after the jump!Read More

GRWM Playlist of the Week: February 26th, 2017

I didn’t really get a chance to actually get ready for anything this week, unfortunately. Saturday night the hubs and I were planning to celebrate Mardi Gras at a party at a castle near where we live here in NC, but the plans didn’t pan out. Nevertheless, I did find some new and not-so-new music that I vibed to this week to share with you guys in my GRWM Playlist of the Week:

5 Reasons Why YOU Should Be Oil-Cleansing

Cleansing the face with oil may seem somewhat counter-intuitive, but it is quickly becoming a very popular cleansing trend. Oil-cleansing is simply using a combination of oils to remove oil, dirt, and sebum from the face, like any other cleanser. You then use a warm facial wash cloth to remove the excess. All natural organic oils can be combined and used or a pre-combined mixture can be bought from many different brands and retailers. So what’s the deal? Why should you be oil-cleansing? Find out 5 reasons why oil-cleansing could be beneficial to you and your skincare routine after the jump.

Review: Shea Moisture African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask

Recently, I’ve been on a huge skincare kick, and I’ve been trying to get rid of the dark marks and acne on my face. During my pregnancy last year, I had the most horrible hormonal acne of my life. It left my face with many dark marks and acne scars I’ve been trying to rid myself of ever since. I decided to look for a mask to add to my skincare routine. I wanted something that would help fade the acne and scars and leave my skin looking healthy. Shea Moisture and their skincare line were some of the first products I wanted to try.

I am very familiar with Shea Moisture products as they are a major staple in my hair care routine. I was only vaguely aware of their skin care products. After hearing nothing but good things about their masks, I decided to try out the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask. I bought my 6oz jar from Target for $14.99 USD. It’s also available in-store wherever Shea Moisture products are sold and online in a few different sizes. What were my thoughts? Let’s take a look.

GRWM Playlist of the Week – February 19th, 2017

GRWM Playlist of the Week

This week I had an idea – I always play music when I get ready to go out or put makeup on. so why not share the music that I’m grooving to every week? So every Sunday I’ll be posting my top 5 favorite songs in a playlist with a short description each song and why I’m feeling it! I’ll be calling it my GRWM Playlist of the week. Firstly, check out the playlist below!

1. Too Much – Kehlani (SweetSexySavage)

Kehlani recently released SweetSexySavage, and if you’re a fan of 90s R&B then you won’t skip a song on this album. Kehlani’s music has a very Aaliyah/Brandy/TLC vibe to it and Too Much is soooo perfect to listen to while getting ready. It’s empowering and catchy and so easy to dance to.

 

 2. No Scrubs – TLC (Fanmail)

A classic 90s R&B song, No Scrubs is such an easy song to know all the words to. This song was part of the soundtrack to my childhood (back when I had no idea what any of the words meant haha), and now it’s part of the soundtrack to my daily glow-up!

 

3. Company – Tinashe (Company – Single)

Tinashe is really good at making a song that makes you wanna shake your ass, and Company is no exception. Not only is the song itself fire, the music video is so amazing! I’ve been playing this one on repeat this week.

 

4. Location (London Remix) – Khalid ft. Little Simz (Location (London Remix) – Single)

Location has such a different, smooth feel to it. I’ve really been feeling this song this week. It gets me in such a good mood for the rest of the day.

 

5. Soldier of Love – Sade (Soldier of Love)

Sade is one of the GOATs to me, so all of her music will eventually make an appearance on these playlists, but Soldier of Love is one of my all-time favorites of hers. It’s probably only second to The Sweetest Taboo!
