FOTD: Natural Eyes and Bold Lips

Hey everyone!!!

So earlier I was watching a youtuber (eyeXluvXmakeup) that did this look and in the video she was encouraging her viewers to replicate the looks that she does and send in pictures that she will post at the end of the vids. I love this idea!! Because I think it's nice to see peoples different interpretations of the look!! that maybe can inspire a whole other look!! 





Face: Mary Kay medium- coverage foundation (Bronze 708)  fashion fair power over.
Eyes: Like she did I also added a darker shade powder on my upper and lower lid (Island Beauty). Lined with ELF's black cream liner. Mascara is the Loreal Telescopic Mascara.
Cheeks: MAC - Love Rush blush
Lips: MAC- Cyber

Products / Hair regimen

Hey everyone!!


I figured I show you guys the products I currently use and tell you alittle about what I do to my hair:


-Daily:I sprits my hair everyday with water and add some oil (Africa's best herbal oil) since my hair needs extra moisture during the winter.


-Wash:Now a days I wash every one to two weeks because of the iching but as it gets warmer I will strech it back to 3week which I used to do when I had my burgandy pink dye in. Every now an then I do a ACV rinse when I feel that is's really dirty and for the most part I wash with Africas best 2-n-1 moisturising shampoo. My most recent wash I tried putting honey in a organic clearifying rosemary shampoo (I bought it a while ago but didn't like because it stripped my hair to much for my liking and I hated how dry and hard my hair felt) and my hair felt AMAZING!! I really liked the results and have added this to my monthly clearfying together with thd acv.

-Maintaining:I re-twist about once a month, sometimes less because I don't really like the thin look my hair gets from it. I don't really put any grease on my scalp because it causes iching, but I do it when it seens really dry. 


(It's coconut oil in the indian hemp jar)



Stay blessed!!:)

Loc Jouney

                      October 2009 - 2nd year
October 2010 - 3rd year 

I started my journey on September 3, 2008. I started it by semi-freeforming and interlocking on my own. It took a very long time before I finally got the curage to start them because of the myth of YOU HAVE TO SHAVE YOUR HAIR OFF!!!When I learned on youtube that this was not true I finally did it!! And this is by far the best decision I've ever made for my hair because my hair has never been healthier or longer!! I've had them for 2yr 5months now and I absolutly love them!!

(During my first year I moved to Maryland where I went to school) After my one year mark I went to see a loctician (Camille) in Silver Spring for the first time and dyed my hair a burgandy pink color (the color in the first pic) which I really loved but now it's dyed dark brown because I moved back home to Sweden and can't maintain it on my own. I love my loctician and I wish she was here!!!:(

Anyway back to maintaining.. I interlocked during my first year until I started to see my loctician who taught me how to palmroll which I have been doing since then, but every now and then when the new-growth gets to much I interlock a little and re-twist.


Oh yeah! If your in the Silver Spring area I recommend Noire Salon!! noiredesignconcepts.com they are really GOOD and have resonable prices!!!

I'll be posting the products I use soon! Until then..
Stay blessed!!
