I lost My Camera.... Lets Talk Products

Hello!
I'm so sorry that I ha vent been blogging lately I lost my camera.... I'm not to sure where its at at the moment... and I'm dieing to show you so many outfit posts and hair how tos that I did! Its very upsetting!!....
I guess I have to bare with trying to find my camera or buy a new one....

Today I wanted to talk about our hair products.
Allot of my readers ask why does my hair curl very well, what do I do different with my hair....
it all starts with our Shampoo & Conditioner



I use Salon Shampoos and Conditioners... ( Red Ken, Matrix, Sexy Hair)
Before I went to school I used drugstore products .. because they were inexpensive and they smelled really good . Sometimes not that often... I would use salon products.
But once I went to school I learned that it is good to use salon products.
It all stems down to the PH Scale.
Allot of non professional shampoos have products that are high in the PH Scale...More Alkaline which is hairs worst enemy. Most of the shampoos and conditioners ingredients in drugstore products are ...Detergent......, yes.... detergent. Which if you have highlights or color treated hair it will eventually fade your color.
I know that professional products are expensive.... but its high quality, And you dont need to use a allot of it which last you longer. Which is amazing! I feel a difference in my hair, Its way more manageable, its soft, very shiny. Even my mom noticed how shiny my hair is.... and it never was this shiny before in my life.
Its ok to buy drugstore products, but once in a while pamper yourself and treat your hair to salon Shampoos and Conditioners :)

Now For Styling Products!







Before (hair set) ..& After Bouncy Vintage Hair



I use for my hair setting lotion 'Lotta Body'!!! Swoon that product is my fave setting spray!!! It doesn't make your hair feel gross( sticky.... etc.) It makes your hair soft, and dazzling!!!
I mix it with water .. My mix ratio is 2/ 1 (more water a little bit less Lotta body) you don't want it too concentrated.

But before I put spray my Lotta body, I put in a shine serum. To add to brilliance of your hair. ( I always ad a little bit of serum probably Bio Silk.... to my clients roller sets) Because if your going under the dryer you want a protection from the heat.

*Brushing your hair when I get out the shower I dont use a paddle brush I use a wide tooth comb to comb out my hair...
For setting my hair I use a rat tooth comb
For brushing out my set I use my fingers and a teasing comb

********************************************
( Secret! Brush your hair every night! With a boar brush.... Root to end. Why? Because you brush your hair  it isdistributing your hairs natural oils from root to end so when you wake up you have shiner hair!)********************************************

For hair sprays I use
Big Sexy Stay Put Hair Spray...
it speaks for its self! Its s good that if wind blows your hair...Your hair will still look good!

ha ha!!!

Hope you all like my products talk!
I spilled all of my hair product secrets! :) they are now yours!
If you like any products that I havent mentioned please..do tell!

Eye Liner All Over?



What Do Ya Think?! Eye Liner on Bottom Lashes?


When I was on my trip I experimented with Eye Liner on my lower lash line.
I never usually do this, but on my trip decided to try it out!

I used Sephora Black Khol liner.
I gently drew on the liner, and winged it out softly.
It lasted all day!!!

I think its different, usually i see some stars like Liz Taylor and  Sophia Loren with all over liner.
So why not try it!
I thought it was cool how my eyes really popped when I lined my bottom lashes.

When I was on my trip we went over to 'Sephora', and whew!!!..... That store makes me go makeup gaga!!! All me and my mom was saying was" I like take 2 of those and 3 of them .."
ha ha!!
It was so much fun at Makeup Heaven!!!
I Bought some really cute vintage inspired makeup!!
So in the near future I will give product review!!!

Vintage Beach Outfit Post: Day 1 & 2 Summer Dreams


Hello My Lovely Vintage Lovers!

I'm sorry for the lack of blogging, I was on vaca.... Virginia Beach!
 I got some neat pictures to share!
The first two days me and my family went on the beach! The first day was really cloudy and the water was cold and it was raining on and off! Bummer...
But the second day was really pretty it was sunny and warm! ...No rain! ha ha!!
The first day I worn this cute vintage inspired bathing suit and I put my hair up in a turban!
 ( I will be doing this 'hair how to' on my 5 minute Beach Do!)

I was sorta worried that since my hair was shorter it will be harder to put it up,  but it was fine & easy!!!!!!

The second day out on the beach, I worn a Vintage 1950's Swimsuit! 
All I have To Say Was...
Comfortable Comfortable Comfortable!! 
This is my new vintage bathing suit and its my fave!! I hate how modern bathing suits have like this Lycra stretchy material and it gets you really hot... This is made out of silky cotton and its so breathable!! I just love it!!!
I had a cute little pink vintage scarf and I put a vintage beach hat on! With aqua blue cat eye glasses to match!!!






I also had Makeup that was water proof so when I went swimming it still was on!




I was def ready for the beach!!!
Although.. no tan ha ha!!! I was still ready!.. Good thing I didn't burn!

I hope your having a fab summer!!
