Natural Hair Product Review: Take Command Curl Defining Crème By Curls UnLeashed
Happy Tuesday. I wanted to give you the low down on a product I tried this weekend. It’s by Curls Unleashed, which is a line of products for naturals created by ORS (formerly Organic Root Stimulator). It’s called Take Command Curl Defining Crème. This is not a new product. I’ve tried it a couple of times during my natural hair journey. I struggled to figure out how to use it best in the past so I’ve never use it consistently. I got it to work…

2017 Product Review: Kerry Kosmetics
I decided this year that I want to purchase one product each week from a black-owned business. This is an important endeavor for me because I believe that BOBs are an important pillar in the black community. In a times such as these when retail stores like Macy’s, Sear’s, and K-Mart are fleeing low-income urban areas, it’s critical that we invest in the small businesses around us in order to survive. In fact, I believe that through the creativity and ingenuity of black entrepreneurship, we can ensure that…

Product Review: Colossal Big Shot Mascara by Maybelline
.Maybe I’m beautiful. Maybe it’s Maybelline. That’s been me the last week. I got a complementary new Colossal Big Shot Mascara the company is promoting, along with their Master Precise Curvy Liquid Eye Liner. I was actually excited to receive it. That’s a surprise because I didn’t wear makeup for most of my life. Maybe a little eyeliner here and there in my late teenager years and early 20’s but nothing serious. I didn’t get interested in makeup until I turned 33. I really only…

Natural Hair Product Review: true by made beautiful
My stash was running low and I waited all of last week to get some new products. I wanted to try an entire line but I couldn’t decide which one. I wanted something I hadn’t tried before, maybe something that worked well for some of my Curl Friends on Instagram or in Facebook groups. I went to two Targets, a Walmart, a Meijer and two Sally Beauty Supply store before I finally set my eyes on “true by made beautiful”. I liked the label. The sea…

Natural Hair Product Review: New Styler
I tried a new styler yesterday and I must say I’m happy with the results. As I Am Curly Jelly works well. I used what I had on my stash to co-wash (Shea Moisture Professionals Cocoa Shea Co-Wash) and condition (Tresemme Botanique to rinse out, Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Leave-In) my hair. I added the Curling Jelly while in the shower. I dipped my head under the water real quick then shake the excess water out. That’s funny but be careful if you…
