OZone Lace Front Wig from LHB

I purchased this lace front synthetic wig from the Luxurious Hair Boutique *click here* This is an amazing wig.

This is the first time trying the OZone Brand and I am sold The lace on the front is french lace, it is not the typical lace on most synthetic wigs,

it is not going to scratch up your forehead.   It has adjustable straps and 3 combs.

The hair is very soft, but it is really long 26+” so I will be putting this one away until the Fall, it is too hot here for a long wig I would melt in to a big brown puddle lol

I can’t wait to order another OZone from LHB.

Thumbs up

If you have an Ozone Wig let me know how you like them….

‘Til Next Time…

Janet Collection Human Hair Mommy Wig Review

This wig has a cult following on Youtube lol…I got this wig from Hair stop and shop *click to visit* I got it in color M33/350

Now out the package this wig is not that impressive.  You have to play with her and wet her to get the curls to come to life…she is a very cute and sassy wig.

If you have this wig let me know how you style it….

I am sporting MAC’s super glass in cherry electric on my lips with chestnut liner….LOVE IT

The glitter chunks are bigger than on dazzle glass you can actually feel them but it’s not bad….

I am not affiliated with Hairstop&shop nor with MAC I purchase all items.

The Mommy Wig and the Super Glass both get a Thumbs Up

CoverGirl Shadow Blast Review

As you all know I am a Buzz Agent *click to see buzz back*  and I received these CoverGirl Shadow Blast products to review and Buzz about.  I was so excited because I love CoverGirl…but when I got them and tried them I was disappointed.

You get a dual ended tube cream shadow, to do a smoky eye look. One end Step 1 goes on your lid and the other end Step 2 goes in your crease.  Well cream shadows are hard to have as your sole eye color even if you prime your lids.  I used Two Faced Shadow Insurance on my lids and the eye color still creased before I even completed my makeup, and after 2 hours of wearing it had all but disappeared.   I love the concept that CoverGirl is going for but it did not work in a practical application.  The lip gloss that came with it was great, it is a sheer lip gloss with a great scent and not too sticky or too drying.

Overall I would pass on the Shadow Blast eye colors, unless you are using it as a base color.  The lip gloss is great and gets thumbs up, the shadow  thumbs down.

FOUNDATION UPDATE!!!!

Many of you know that I have been on Holy Grail quest to find a new foundation now that Prescriptives has closed their counters.  (See the video I did)

Well a couple of months back while in the mall I passed by a Bare Minerals store and I have been debating about trying them because I had heard mixed reviews about their products, that it make people break out, makes their face itch, etc.  But I took a gamble and WON!!! I love and adore my Bare Minerals Foundation makeup.  They actually have a shade that matches me, it is a new shade so I am glad i waited to try them out.  I use warm tan and I got the starter box for $60 @ the Bare Minerals store.  I do not really care for the warmth as an all over face powder but I love the other products.  The Mineral Veil is the bestest *yes i made up a word* lol it is great, gives you a soft airbrushed look…like my skin is flawless…and Divas who does not want perfect, flawless looking skin….woohoo

You can purchase Bare Minerals from their store, online, or from Sephora, Ulta, and QVC online.  And I have heard that they have opened up makeup counters in Macy’s.

So my makeup Divas…. please let me know if you use BE and how  you like it or if you like it….

Bare Minerals gets a big thumbs up

COVERGIRL SIMPLY AGELESS BUZZ REVIEW

I am a Buzz Agent and they sent me these products to review…I love the CoverGirl brand so I was super excited about this campaign.  The colors that I received were way too light.  I was not able to use the foundation or eye corrector, but i did use the concealer and blush which i both love.  I like the blush color, the concealer i need in a better color for me.  I will be purchasing the right shade for me.

Overall i like the line, i like the creaminess of the products, they go on smooth and feel light and do not weigh down your skin.

Thumbs up for CoverGirl Simply Ageless products…..

Many of you are familiar with NYX Cosmetics and like and use them…..But here is why i will not purchase from them ever again…..

They had a bundle of joy sale back on April 22, 2010.  It was an ok sale, but I purchased a bundle of their jumbo pencils which I love for base on my eye lids.  It is May 27, 2010 and I have yet to receive my product.  I have emailed the company on May 19, 2010 and i have yet to receive a response.

While I might not spend as much as some on cosmetics, I do spend enough….I will be happy to take my business else where if this is how I am treated.  This is piss poor customer service…..

BUYER BEWARE OF NYX COSMETICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QVC

SSSSSSOOOO my Makeup Divas….Did you all take part in QVC’s National Makeup Day?

Well you know I did.  Like a crack head I could not stay away…. I have the QVC app on my ITouch *big mistake * so I was checking emails before and hit the app to see what the Today’s Special Value was….

Low and be hold it was BOBBI BROWN…..I love Bobbi B and I have been wanting to try her makeup, but a last like NARS Bobbi B is on the pricier end of the make up spectrum.   So I was so happy when I saw that they had this lil gem on sale and on 4 flex pays…..*does happy dance * woohoo

I got a 5 well eye shadow palette with mirror, a 5 well lip palette with mirror, 1 jar of gel eye liner, 1 vial of sheer lip gloss, 1 compact of blush, 1 dual ended eye shadow brush

Eyeliner mini brush with cap, lip brush and tip card.   I am so excited I cant wait to get it.

I can’t wait to review this and do a YT video with my new camcorder *yeah QVC got me last week *

Did you all pick up any thing good?  It was for a good cause to support Dress for Success……

Many of you all know I am on a quest for the perfect foundation, since prescriptives is now closed.  I went in the Bare Minerals store on a whim a couple of months ago.  I was pleasantly surprised and shocked that 1.  I liked the makeup, 2.  that they had a shade to match me.  No Kabuki mask look or the look of death or the red face looks…. And it did not make me itch.  * I have read a few reviews of BE and some people complain it makes them itch *

I am glad I did not try BE sooner because the shade that matched me is a new shade…Warm Tan…. I really
like the mineral makeup.  It does not rub off on my clothes, I can build on it for a fuller coverage, but I prefer the sheer coverage.  I use MAC’s Prep and Prime powder for a primer for my face before I put the BE on.

I did purchase the $60 starter kit, which I got the warm tan, medium tan, mineral veil, warmth, 3 brushes and brush cleaner.  Now about the warmth, I don’t know about any other women of color but I am not feeling the warmth as an all over face powder, I like it as an eye shadow though.  It is way too shimmery for an all over look for me….

For those who have not used mineral makeup I say give it a try.  You don’t use much product, you tap a small amount in the cap of the jar, swirl the brush, tap and buff on your face until you have the desired effect.  You finish it off with the mineral veil, and then you can paint your face to your liking…. Since my initial purchase in March I have also purchased from QVC *yeah I know yall talking about me *the Bronzer Kit and Canary Diamond Kit.  I am waiting to get them from QVC and I will be reviewing them.

Bronzed & Brilliant QVC $29.50

Canary Diamond Kit QVC $48.00

If you have tried mineral makeup let me know how you like it…..
