REVIEW: Covergirl Bombshell Liquid Liner
Covergirl Bombshell Liquid Liner
I purchased this last week and haven't stopped using it. This liquid liner by Covergirl is part of their new Bombshell line. It is very small and, because of its size, it is super easy to use. I have used it for a cat-eye, winged liner, and just to tight line my upper lash line. In my opinion, this is a super versatile product. Here is some more info...
Bombshell eyes can be intense – and your liner should live up to the look.
- Intensity Liner is a precision felt tip pen with a smooth formula that glides on for a little or a lot of deep, dark sexy.
- The longwear liner is available in two shades, Pitch Black Passion and Chocolate Kiss - both providing liquid intensity for 24 hours of sexy Bombshell eyes.

REVIEW: Covergirl Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara
COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume by LashBlast™ Mascara
Bombshell Collection Information [provided by Covergirl]:
Taking cues from the new wave of bombshell beauty, with sexy starlets gracing magazine covers and lingerie-inspired looks on the runways, women are craving beauty tools that will help them stand out and feel sexy. So obsessed with achieving an over-the-top lash look, many women are “cocktailing” multiple mascaras, applying several different formulas to achieve the desired volume and definition.Bombshell Volume mascara is now the best-selling CoverGirl product at Walmart*! This entirely new mascara experience, unlike any other two-step offering available, features a first-of-its-kind Boost System that has two brushes and two formulas for MEGA VOLUME and DRAMATIC INTENSITY. It’s time to take lashes way beyond big. Shades: Very Black, Black, Black/Brown and Brown
- Step 1: Extreme volume basecoat that loads on the volume with a big brush and mega-volumizing formula to thicken lashes; the result is volume that’s even and clump-free
- Step 2: Dark, intensifying topcoat that seals the look with a dark, smooth finish; the proprietary micro-thin lacquer offers maximum impact and lasting power in just one coat.
My Thoughts:
This is a great long, lasting mascara. I love how the mascara does run or smudge throughout the day. It also lasted all day. My favorite part of this product is the pushed look is similar to falsies. Thick and dark lashes. I purchased the product in Very Black and enjoy using it very much. My only dislike is it is hard to remove but eventually comes off after a good face soak.
I recommend this product for anyone that likes thick mascara with long lasting power.

REVIEW: Covergirl Bombshell ShineShadow
Covergirl ShineShadow
My Thoughts:
The color I got was platinum club. A deep silver shiny shadow. This shadow can be wore alone or on top of a shadow. I fell in love with this product from first use. I love shimmer colors on my lid so I knew this would gain my favor. I also love how you can build up the intensity of the shine. From a dusting of shimmer to a heavy shine.
I definitely recommend this shineshadow to add some extra glitz and glam to your look.
Product Claim [per website]:
Transform your eyes into bombshell sexy. Each shiny or shimmery Bombshell ShineShadow by LashBlast contains reflective pigments so your eyes dazzle when light hits your face.
I did both a daytime and nighttime look with this cream shadow. To me, it is a very versatile product.

REVIEW: Koils By Nature Ultra-Moisturizing CocoAloe Deep Conditioner
Back during the summer, I attended a lot of natural hair events. Because of this, I picked up a lot of products along the way. One of my favorite brands of products I have tried, Koils by Nature.
We (my cousin, mother, and I) actually got a chance to meet the owner and creator of the brand at one event, Pam. She is a very funny and spirited woman. She also did a great workshop and share some wonder tips about moisture.
Anyway, 1 of the 3 products I picked up from this brand was the Ultra-Moisturizing CocoAloe Deep Conditioner. Since I have an addiction to DC-ing, I had to get my hands on it.
It comes in a 12 oz. bottle and retails at $18 [but at the event I paid $15].
This is an all natural deep condish that claims to be great for retaining moisture and adding shine to dry, brittle, damaged hair. My hair was previous heat & chemically damaged so from reading the bottle, this would be just what the doctor subscribed. And although I am not an ingredient snob, I did appreciate the abundance of natural ingredients in this product.
It took me about 2 months to get around to using the product [yes I had that many other DC's I wanted to try, lol] but when I did get around to it...and got through the bottle...I was a little disappointed.
The smell was heavenly and the consistency was thick and creamy as you would expect a DC to be.
I took me about a month n a half to use the entire bottle, not too bad.
My first application was the best. The detangling was easy but not great. And the slippage provided was mediocre as well.
Then I rinsed out my hair and it was only slightly softer than with I use the $1.50 Suave Naturals Coconut Condish...yea. I was just not impressed.
Further more, the uses after the first, the softness didn't increase and the product did not better itself.
Overall, I give it a 4 out of 5 curls. It did work and moisturize but I have had better deep conditioners.
Try it for yourself and their other products as well. I have two more products from this brand with reviews coming soon...and a bit more positive, lol.

REVIEW: December Ipsy Glam Bag
I always want to film a video when I get my Glam Bag. To show my loves all the great products I got and my first impression of them.
But I can never film and edit in the same week! That mostly because I have so many videos in the que waiting to be edited...
So, of course, I turn to my blog to help me scratch this itch!
I will definitely be posting pics and first impressions on my glam bag here on my blog!
This is December's bag. Black and sleek. The theme: Celebration. I like!
The first item I took out was an eyeshadow palette. I have been itching to see what a dark smoking eye would look like on me so this was perfect. Only thing I did not like was the black shadow was quite sheer.
Next the lashes. I mean who doesn't love lashes? I have never trued this brand and I definitwtly would have ant form some more natural. However, I am willing to step out the box on this one.
Next the all in one stick by Be a Bombshell. I kind of figured what type of product this was just by the name [all in one] but I still looked it up to confirm. Yes, this product is intended to be used for multiple areas on your face. Cheeks, lips, eye shadow, etc. It is going to be interesting seeing as I am afraid of cream blush [don't ask] but I am willing to give it a try.
Then the lipstick. This super creamy lipstick by NYX cosmetics. Bless the glam bag heavens that I received this lipstick. First off I love the color. I always want my nudes to have hints of pink in them. Then the application...it is like spreading butter on warm toast! Super smooth.
Lastly, a nail polish [shown with all in one]. Simple enough a black & gold glitter polish.
'Smokin Hot' by Pop Beauty
'Flustered' All in One Stick
'Goddess' Lipstick by NYX
SWATCHES [excuse my ashy hand, lol]
1. All in One Stick
2. NYX Lipstick
3-5. POP Beauty Shadows

REVIEW: Camille Rose Curlaide Moisture Butter
Camille Rose Curlaide Moisture Butter
8oz. of thick whipped cream that smells like straight icing. Yes, icing that you put on cupcakes. I have to remind myself not the eat it, smh. But it smells heavenly.
I received this in my Cocotique Beauty Box for the month of November. I personally would never have bought it because the purpose of the product is to define your curls. However, the product in the container is so heavy and dense I feared it would only weigh my [combination fine-thick] curls down.
But to my pleasent surprise, it did the opposite.
I applied the curlaide just like I would any other styler in my regimen (after the leave-in, but before the oil), then lightly twisted and went to bed.
[SIDE NOTE] I do my wash-n-go's at night so in the winter time, I don't have to go out with wet hair.
In the morning my curls were as light and bouncy as always. And super defined. I am so hooked.
And to make it all better, this line of products is on a short list of product lines that have are at least 80% natural and organic. Oh yea. Good, yummy ingredients for my hair and scalp.
List of ingredients from the website:
Over all 5 out of 5 curls from me!
Love this product and plan on using it until I run out!
Hope you enjoyed this review.

REVIEW: Revlon Lipstick, Black Cherry
Revlon Super Lustrous - Creme Lipstick, Black Cherry
This color is out of my norm...really any lipstick is out of my norm seeing as I just started wearing lipstick a few months ago. But the reason why I purchased this lipstick is because I was hearing that it was a dupe of the every popular 'Dark Side' by Mac.
Whether I spent $2 or $15, this color is AMAZING!
I am so in love with it, so happy I bought it.
Every time I wear it, I just get so many compliments on it. It is just a great all around fall color.
The color glides on super smooth, great color payoff. It is a nice, rich berry purple each application.
As for lasting power, it practically stains my lips. Which, for this color, I love. It becomes a cute ombre and the still looks like a fluid color, no spots or blotches.
This I accredit to the formula of the lipstick. And because I love the feel of it, I will be trying more colors from this line.
Over all, two thumbs! All the way up! So happy I gave this lipstick a try.
Let me know if you have any Revlon colors that you have and love!
As always, thanks for reading!

It has shea butter extracts, which deeply moisturize and repair damage to your hair and scalp. Also helps protect your hair from heat and styling damage. Ideal for all hair types.
Benefits (directly from Target website):
This rich treatment deeply moisturizes and repairs hair, while providing a protective barrier for the hair from heat and styling aids.My Opinion:
I liked the price of this product, usually between $8-$12. Very budget friendly. It also smelled good, to me. It has a shea butter and argan smell. Very natural and clean, which I like. Another plus, the organic ingredients. Good if you are all about the ingredients.
However, the result after use were not great with me. I have heard plenty of rave reviews but I just wasn't impressed. The first two times I used it, my hair was ok, not super soft but manageable The third time I used it, my hair was almost straw-like. Like it was stripping my hair. The last time I used it, it was worst. Smh. I put it down after my hair turned out so dry that I had to use an additional conditioner.
Even though it didn't turn out well for my hair, there could have been reasons why. One, too much protein or not the best kind for my hair. Also, I could have left it in too long. The directions say 5-45 min. The longest I left it in was overnight, but all other times no more than 45.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend this product to someone who has my hair type and a possible protein issue. However, there are plenty of other great reviews for this DC so don't knock it till you try it!

Product Review: Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner
5 months into my natural hair journey and I am already falling into the trap!
The 'product trap'! Yup.
Hi, My name is Nicole and I am a product junkie.
Hi Nicole. LoL
My reasons for being a product junkie are simple. One, I have no clue what works for my hair. I have to try to figure it out. And two, as long as I don't break the bank, I am good! LoL!
So since I am a product junkie, I decided to be productive about it and do reviews for the products I try.
Hopefully I can help someone who, unlike me, doesn't want to try a whole bunch of products to figure out what works best for them and their hair.
Rules for my Product Reviews:
Each assessment is based off how the product worked for my hair only. For more information on my hair type, click here or check out my other blog.
For each product I review, I will have used the product for at least a month and used it with other products in the same line to ensure the best results.
Unless noted, my product reviews are not sponsored.
Now that the technicalities are out of the way, lets get to it!
The product is Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner.
Control Damage from Transitioning, Heat, and Color Treated Hair
Restore Elasticity to Prevent Breakage
Dryness and breakage prevent healthy looking hair growth. To help ensure your hair has a fighting chance against daily styling stresses use Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner to help strengthen, rebuild, protect and hydrate.
Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner allows you to embrace more versatile styling options, while protecting your hair from the inside out. To achieve softer, more defined curls, healthier looking elongated coils and simply silky smooth hydrated hair use this feather lite deep penetrating conditioner.
The 'product trap'! Yup.

My reasons for being a product junkie are simple. One, I have no clue what works for my hair. I have to try to figure it out. And two, as long as I don't break the bank, I am good! LoL!
So since I am a product junkie, I decided to be productive about it and do reviews for the products I try.
Hopefully I can help someone who, unlike me, doesn't want to try a whole bunch of products to figure out what works best for them and their hair.
Rules for my Product Reviews:
Each assessment is based off how the product worked for my hair only. For more information on my hair type, click here or check out my other blog.
For each product I review, I will have used the product for at least a month and used it with other products in the same line to ensure the best results.
Unless noted, my product reviews are not sponsored.
Now that the technicalities are out of the way, lets get to it!

My Opinion:
I LOVED this product! I have tried about 4 different deep conditioners and this is by far my favorite. Starting with the basic senses, it smells lovely. The mango and the coconut come through the most. The consistency is that of a heavy cream. More like mayonnaise, not like whipped butter.
The application is easy, due to the consistency. It coated my strands (I have thick stands) well because of the thickness. This product also has good slip. Easy to finger detangle (which I do, I rarely use combs).
As a result of the great ingredients, my hair was super soft and strong after use. I could also tell a difference in how my curls looked. Before they were limp but after use, they were back to popping!
This product I give 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to any of my curl-friends!
