Yarn Braids

My natural hair needed a break and I wanted to try something new so after doing research on some of my fav blogs and of course YT. I decided to give Yarn Braids (Genie locs)  a try . I deep conditioned with my Argan oil moisture condish and also did my Alphogee protein treatment on my hair to prep my hair I also refreshed my hair color with Manic Panics Pill a box (Red) and Rock n Rolla (RED). *****DO NOT USE WOOL YARN it will loc your hair**

My Hair before the yarn braids

 I got the brown for me and the black for one of my daughters she said she wanted her hair done too I will be making bigger parts for her hair.. The red I got was TOO bright so I ended up using the darker red color. I used the method Black Onyx used on YT with the chair to measure the yarn. These braids took forever to do two whole days of braiding LAWD!!!!!!!!I made my own homemade spray to keep my hair moist,I used so water,my oil mix, peppermint oil hello hydration condish I spray my hair down 3 times a day and I oil my scalp when needed.. My hubby loves them they give me a chance to feel like I'm rocking locs with out the hassle.I plan to keep it for a full month two if I can hold out I know I will miss my hair!! but if I take it down it will be to condition a put it right back up in the yarn braids.Excited about the growth that I will see soon!! When it does come doen to the takedown process I plan to load my hair with suave condish and take them down hopefully preventing breakage : )

Laydee Cosmetics (review)

Here is another makeup company that I want to put in ya ear and give a little buzz LAYDEE Cosmetics!!

 I have had these products for some time and I have to say I really reviewed theses shadows!! These pigments came in 5gram jars
Here are the swatches of the colors that I was sent
*Cleopatra- Bright canary yellow
*Christy-Silky cooper shiny penny color
*Mitzi-true blue sea foam color
*Rachel-A pretty ocean wave blue with gold reflects
*Charlotte-Deep dark midnight blue
*Mariah-Bright golden glitter sheen
*Sandy- Another silky golden color

I can say the lighter colors were great to work with and they had a great color pay off all of the colors that I got were ok there were some great ones and some not so great ones.
Charlotte was not a good color to apply the pay off was not good it left color blotches and when I went in to reapply more color or blend it just made a huge darkish blue colored mess.The lighter colors (Shimmers)Mariah,Christy and Sandy were great amazing for highlights,tear duct colors and all around good shadows.I've used the shimmers on my nails,highlights etc GREAT!

**I will say that this product was said to have used Mica's from TKB and  the Mica's were repackaged.This bothered me because I don't belive in stealing I want you guys to know the truth about this matter Just in case. I contacted the company's owner and asked the question I will post her response down below.

Hi Tori,

None of the eyeshadows we sell or sent you are repackaged from anywhere, we created all of the eyeshadows we sent you in our lab. Tkb (like many other cosmetic companies) is one of our suppliers for ingredients to make our blended eyeshadow. We do have a few unblended pigments available, they are clearly marked on our website as unblended pigments. Repackaging is when someone buys a product and puts it in new packaging without changing it in anyway. We add a base to those unblended pigments to improve adhesion and slip of the product. We found these pigments to be popular so we continued to sell them. We only have 8 unblended pigments in our collection of 50+. We state in our FAQ that the "*" next to the product number means it is an unblended pigment. We do not add any new unblended pigments to our collection and we do not plan to.




Sincerely,

Chloe Tea
Owner/ Creator
