BLACK BEAUTY OF THE WEEK

This week I bring to my sistas two MUST HAVE products for all 20 something black women:

I know, I know. I'm suppose to just introduce one item. BUT everyone who knows me, know that I am to indecisive and couldn't choose between the two.

The other day I finally picked my lazy/over worked ass up. on my day off. and decided to go to a hair salon. MY Hair was a WRECK. but better than it was 3-4 Months ago. Before the salon visit I was sporting a TWA also known as a Teeny Weeny Afro, all natural everything (The reasoning to this will be explained in a later blog). Any who, I went to a highly recommended salon located on the west side of Harlem "3 Dimes and a Quarter." I  had permed my hair and decided to get a "Halle Berry" short cut. Once my hair was dry the beautician introduced me to the new love and obsession of my life. I just had to share it.

Lastly, I present to you

MAYBELLINE NEW YORK: UNSTOPPABLE EYELINER IN SAPPHIRE:

I really deep down to the core of my soul feel as if I should get credit to the hype of this "New Trend". For about two years now, even before I dibbled and dabbled with makeup, I felt a special connection to a navy blue shade. However, more recently I have been getting tired of the whole black eyeliner look that became so predictable and common. Every where I turned there was some chick obsessed with the ability to create the delusion of chinky slant, mysterious eyes. I got tired of being mysterious, ain't that much mysterious needed when the cold winter winds began to smack your bare face. This is a Must have for the dreary fall/winter seasons that I love SO much.

Perks:

Best for all skin tones (universal)

Self Sharpening (You can swivel it up and down)

Makes your eyes appear to be larger and whiter

(Great for the dreary winter season when everything appear to be dull)

Brighten your tired eyes

Glides on smoothly

Inexpensive may cost around 5- $7.00

Cons:

Does not last entirely

I have runny eyes (due to allergies and cold winter winds)

The eyeliner do began to smudge

P.S. 3 Dimes and a Quarter rocks.
