The Kindest Of Strangers

I would just like to say that sometimes in this day and age we sometimes forget that a random act of kindness can occur..


I went to my neighborhood thrift store to purchase a picture and the store owner gave me a brand new bottle of Sally Hansen HD  nail polish in Cyber....

That was so very nice and touching..

RoLe Rose Palette

So as most of you know I went on vacation last month to see my family. There really was not a lot of time to go shopping, but as I was in the grocery store in my local neighborhood in Jamaica. Lo and Behold what do I see across the way but this little beauty staring at me just begging to come home with me so I snatched one up...  It cost about $225.00 JAD roughly which translate to about $2.68 USD.. (a steal ) right.. so this is what it looks like..


The formula is not too bad, very smooth almost like butter , it is very pigment and doesn't rub off . I used a primer underneath and was able to have it on for 10 hours without creasing or fading..

Review: One N Only Argan Oil Styling Cream

Argan is the new hot trend in hair products, the lovely ladies at my local Sally's gave me a little sample to wet my appetite. I thought I would share my thoughts about it with you.






Product Information:

  • Eliminates frizz while it conditions and hydrates
  • Creates definition, texture and flexible hold for any style
  • Adds shine and provides color protection
  • Apply to wet or dry hair

One of the world’s rarest oils, argan oil is derived from the Moroccan argan tree. Its moisturizing properties help revive and nourish dry and damaged hair.
One 'n Only Argan Oil Styling Cream is a non-greasy, ultra-light, versatile leave-in styling cream that eliminates frizz while it conditions and hydrates. Can be used daily without buildup to add definition and texture and provide flexible hold for any style. Adds shine and provides color protection. Improves overall look and feel, leaving hair with a naturally healthy appearance.
 
 
Thoughts:
 
I loved the feel of this product it was very light weight, the smell was amazing and it lasted all day and night in my hair. I have noticed a difference in the texture of my hair, hopefully it helps my hair grow out... I like that it comes in a pump bottle instead of the pouring type, that way you don't have to waste any.... I got this as a sample but definitely worth getting... the price makes its so worth it $9.49 or on sale at $7.99...
