Oui Oui!

Just wanted to share of couple products I have been using recently. They are both by curl expert Ouidad. The first is the balancing rinse,I use it in the same manner as I would a shampoo.It's what many would call a conditioner wash (co-wash).My hair would be extremely dry if I washed it several times a week.However, I can only comb it wet.I use this in the shower about 2-3 times a week, leaving a small amount of product on my ends.Next I use the Botanical Boost as a leave in.It helps my hair retain moisture. Because it has glycerin as one of the main ingredients, it attracts moisture to my hair. Dryness is something that many naturals battle.

Ouidad can be purchased at participating salons,and Sephora.

From Poland with love: Inglot Cosmetics

So obviously I didn't get the memo about this back in the summer.Polish brand, Inglot has arrived on U.S. soil. This brand is huge in the U.K., Australia and Dubai. Boasting with over 250 stores,the concept is actually quite innovative.They carry everything that a normal cosmetic retailer would carry,except, you can build your own palette!
It is called the 'freedom system". This table contains and extensive color range of eye shadows, blushes, lip color,concealers and brow powders/waxes.From there you decide how you want to arrange palettes. You can get as few as 3, for $16.I did not try any foundations, but managed put together a palette of 5 colors. 3 being eye shadows,two lip colors. This particular palette was $22. How reasonable is that? It was tough for me because I would pick a color, tell the MUA, then go back to my mental rolodex and realize I had the exact same thing from another brand.
The store is located in Times Square, 48th and Broadway- directly across the street from the M&M store. Next week I will show you a look with the things I purchased.
