#GOSHGoddess - I received this from Chickadvisor Product Review club and was excited to try it out.
The Crazy Volume was not quite there (I have naturally curly eyelashes), but the feel of it was amazing. I have now switched to this to being part of my daily make-up regime. The feel wasn't tacky, stiff, my lashes looked great and full, and at the end of the day did not flake off, like some of the other mascara's I have used.
I would recommend adding this to your bag of regular daily items, a great product!

I do have sparse brows, the plight of the women of my family; as we age our bows become thinner. The colour I received through #GOSHGoddess was too light for my skin tone, 006 is too light for women of colour. I was supposed to recieve the brow pencil, yet recieved the gel. I applied it to my brows and the texture felt amazing, and if it were darker I could only imagine the effect.
I usually use a brow pencil to fill and primer to set my brows, but welcome different applications. This was much like a mascara type application.
I would try this product again and will have to get a darker shade to see if the intended effects happen. Once I have that I will come back and give an updated review.

I have read many reviews in particular to women of colour and was ecstatic to have the chance to sample and review it myself. #GOSHGoddess #OhmyGosh
I have combination skin and at times a very shiny T-zone, so finding products to set my makeup can be challenging at times as not all products are intended for women of my skin tone. I tried the product with both my bbcreams as well as my foundations (pressed, loose and liquid ). The effect it had was amazing, matte and no shine.
I think the way to go with this product is to use it sparingly, a light dusting is all that is required. In between your moisturizer and before your bbcream and a little after it has dried is how I applied it but only a light dusting each time. To add too much only makes your skin look ashy (a plight one with dark skin and ill matched foundation can have).
Same thing with foundation, just like you are painting your nails allow each application to dry, it is worth it in the end. In this application I put it on after moisturizer, and primer gel; a very light dusting and just on the t-zone. I then did an application of my foundation and blush then set it with the prime and set power (light dusting) again.
I would reccomend it for women of colour, however with a light hand; a little goes a long way. Carrying around blotting papers is your best bet as it won't lift your makeup off your face.

This lip lacquer I had reservations as the colour was amazing yet some lip lacquers have amazing colour yet arent as pigmented on the skin. Needless to say that this was not the case, the colour was true and applied amazingly.
Granted the lip brush was a little short, intended to look more like nail polish than lip lacquer. The product felt amazing, not tacky or sticky but creamy and very moisture rich. I have used it a few times since and can not wait to see what other amazing colours are available to pick up!
I would highly recommend this to others and encourage picking it up and adding to your make-up kits! Can not wait to share with my make-up maven friends.

This is for textured hair, this hairdress is ultra hydrating for natural and chemically processed hair. It smells amazing and KINKS AND CURLS.
Want moisture, but would prefer to do without the Peppermint? Not to worry; Miss Jessie's Baby ButterCreme offers the same softening power as it mama matriarch - ButterCreme, without the tingling effect of peppermint. This moisturizing cream is essential for hydrating natural hair and is also recommended for Baby, Junior, Tia, Tito, Nona, Zia and Baba; and yes, for you too. That's right; this creme can be used by all in the family. Hence, we suggest the largest size. Great for: Kids, 2 Strand Twists, Pony Puffs, Braids, Hairline Grooming Creme, Short Naturals and Fades, Growing out Natural Hair. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CHEMICALLY ALTERING Use for maintenance on Curly Pudding, Curly Pudding Unscented, Curly Meringue and Stretch Silkening Crème.
Even though it is a little steep in price, the investment in purchasing this is well worth it! I highly reccomend this for the dry winter months alongside with either The Curly Meringue or Curly Pudding!

This product is for women with textured hair who want definition or curls that hold and provide moisture at the same time! It works on the following hair texture/types: Type 2b/c and 3a/b/c, it also works well on hair that has been, 'Silkener'ed, 'TexLaxed' and 'Texturized'. It is amazing!!! The scent of the product reminds you of mandarin pineapple/coconut ice cream. Yum!!
A great accompanyment to this is Miss Jessie's Baby Butter Creme to moisturize further the next day after styling!

Burt's Bees Pomegranate Moisturizing Lip Balm
Its alrgiht for something natural, it tends to dry my lips after awhile so I go back and forth between this and my lip gloss.

Spring Sandals and Wedges
For frugal fashionistas who want the style but not a massive investment in case its a fad, should check out Spring shoes as I've purchased these for a steal for a trip where fashion is paramount. It didn't break the bank and made my outfits!
