Don’t Believe the Hype
This will be a series of products that I’ve tried because “everyone” said it was the “go to” product and I was sadly disappointed. One thing I will not do is hype up a product for pay or props. First up Miss Jessie’s Jelly Soft Curls I’ve tried Pillow Soft Curls and loved it. So…
I’m an ipster
For the last four months, I’ve been telling myself that I would slow down, curve, even stop shopping for makeup.

After you wash and moisturize your face, before you apply your foundation, it’s important to apply a primer. Yes even in the summertime, even with oily…
