Jane Brownie Points Flirt! Coconutty

I'm not sure If that's the name or not, but I'm looking for this product. Its suppose to compare to MAC Embark. I need something for my eyebrows and I see this Embark used a lot. Since I don't have the funds to splurge on MAC I was looking for the closest thing to it. I also read that the product might have been discontinued. If that's the case is there another product on the reasonable side that compares to embark? I went and bought Ardell Brow Defining Powder. I never tried this before I just seen it in Walgreen while I was looking for the Jane product. I just got it to try it out. I got the Mink Brown color. I never did anything to my eyebrows other than having them arched. So this will be a first for me.
Anyway let me know if any of you have any suggestions or know where I can find this Jane Brownie Points. Thanks! Until Next Time......

Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Product Review



Well I had these products for sometime now and I just used it for the first time today. Im going to keep this short. I used the shampoo and conditioner. My detangle process....Well there was none. My hair comb through pretty easy. After rinsing out the conditioner I applied Aphogee Green Tea and Pro Vitamin-Leavin. I then Applied Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum then GVP Silk Infusion. Im still airdrying after since 4pm this afternoon and its now 10pm. My hair feels so soft and fluffy. I cant keep my hand out my head. I like the Aveeno Nourish+Moisturizer cause my hair detangled so easy. Oh and it smells so good!
Until next time.......

Glycerin Mix Update!

OK. I used it on my hair and my daughters hair today and our hair is still moisturized even after I wore my stocking cap and wig. I am so loving this mix! My daughter's hair is so soft! Her hair always soaks up whatever I put in it. I only added about three tablespoons of the WN lotion in it. I keep her hair in braids and ponytails. I could not believe how soft and moisturized her hair was tonight before wrapping her hair up for bed. I have found a new moisturizer and guess what! I made it!!! Tell me about a mixture you made that works wonders for you....Until next time....

The Summer Heat and Its Downfalls!!!

When the temp gets in the upper 90's even hitting 100 is terrible. My hair has suffered from it tremendously. My hair gets incredibly dry and I get very lazy and the two don't mix. When I become lazy I neglect my hair. So I don't moisturize like I should. Even though I wear wigs they can cause you to sweat ALOT. The stocking cap does not help at all but I have to use it due to the combs snagging my hair without it.

Well I just made a mixture Im going to use on my hair until relaxer day. It consists of Glycerin, water, and Wave Nouveau Finishing lotion. I was going to add some peppermint oil, and Rosemary oil to it but the smell of peppermint was to over powering with only 5 drops so I decided not to add it this time. I just used it on my braids and my daughters hair and I can say dry no more! I did add a lil bit to much to my hair cause it started running down my forehead...lol. Now I know just a few squirts is all I need. It feels ok but Im going to see how long it will stay moist before applying it again. If your interested in the measurement of each product let me know. Until next time....

Making a Lace Wig

I been wanting to do this for some time now. I only have one problem though, I dont know where I can get the lace from. I searched high and low, near and far to no avail. I have the ventilating needle, the holder, the foam head basically everything I need except one of main things and that is the french lace.

So Im asking anyone that knows where I can get official authentic french lace please let me know. I would really like to start making a lace front.
