ChrsLvsBks--Journey to WL First of Many PS

Morning Chrs!

Love the smokey eye! Very low key sexy. I like doing a nude colored smokey eye. I'm doing my cousin's makeup for her wedding and am creating pink and brown smokey eye.

Have you tried the anti oxidant souffle yet? I own it but it's bit heavy for me (sad). I may use it more with summer coming up. If so, I'll probably use it as a night cream after a day in the sun.

Sounds like you're doing it ma!!!

Chrs, do you watch any of the make up videos on YT? If you do, have you subscribed to the MakeupGeek? She's great! Very informative. If not, I have several that I'm subscribed to you can check out my page and see who I'm subbed too. My username is SisterBoyd.

I like doing a neutral smokey eye too. I didn't even know it was possible until about a year ago. I always thought you had to use black or gray. But I love doing a smokey eye with browns and even corals.

I have the anti oxidant soufle, but I gave it away. I couldn't handle the orange smell. Lol.


Nice makeup Chrs!

Loving the smokey eye, you know I'm make-up challenged so unless it squirts out a bottle or tube looking like that I can't do it.

chrs you are doing so well with the makeup! hope you enjoy your bnb goodies!

Loofah - what is this?
Antioxidant soufflé - what is this?

A loofah is like a hand mitt used in the shower. It is hard to describe. An antioxidant souffle is a moisturizer for the face.

I'm not sure about joining the use one product for 30-days challenge. I need a break from group challenges. I would feel bad if I could not stick to it. I only want to use a line for three weeks. I may reconsider.

Chrs...I get so off track with challenges. I was in a challenge that oooops started when I first joined and totally forgot about it when I started my BnB thread. Then I did the castor oil challenge and forgot to post on a regular in that one (I think it had to do with the fact I was wearing braids), then I did the Stash your Cash challenge..that challenge really helped me a lot..but I'm back to my ole bad habits!!!

Now I'm in like 3 and I don't post on a regular...I don't know why I keep doing them...LOL I guess it's all fun.

I'm so busy I still haven't had a chance to check out your winning on BnB's website but I will in the morning or Saturday evening while I have my henna on, or maybe Sunday afternoon!!! You see what I'm talking about? I'm all over the place...LOL

Hope you have a great weekend!!

Good Monday morning Femme, Hmm, I wanna try a nude colored smokey eye. Oooh, pink and brown sound good.

No, I have not tried the souffle yet. I plan to use it next month.

I will try the corals. I am patiently waiting for my 120 eye pallet I purchased from ebay. Once I have it, I am gonna have a blast creating all kinds of looks. Thanks for the compliment!

I had a great weekend. It is hard to keep up with everything. I'm like you I go from here to there and everywhere in between. It's fun though, right *why did I just hear Wendy Williams when I typed that last line, LOL*

Yes BnB and Sharika are awesome! I will be ordering my shea butter from her. I will put on the balm and take a picture just for you.

I like the steamer. I used it again this weekend to DC after my henna. I used Curls DC conditioner. I will not say I love it. I will keep using it and see if it is the DC or the steamer. I will keep everyone in the loop.

O wow, love the eyes! I need to learn how to do this.

Happy Monday Chrs!

Hello Chris!

I saw your pics in the Twist Challenge thread and your makeup was absolutely perfect. I took some notes on how to apply makeup in 10 minutes.

Have a fantastic week!

TMS, thanks! I will do my best to have a fantastic week.

====================================================================

This weekend, starting Friday, was pretty full. I did a henna treatment with Jamila henna and Reshma henna. Mixed them both with green tea. First time using green tea. I applied the Reshma on the right and the Jamila on the left. I wanted to see if there would be a difference. I know I was taking a chance since I had not used the BAQ Jamila before or the Reshma brand. I slept for sevne hours. Saturday morning I rinsed my hair. The right side was less looser than the left. I did notice the rinsing out was much easier. I dunked head in sink full of water once as opposed to a couple of times with regular cardboard box Jamila henna. I rinsed a few more minutes then DC with Curls DC under Huetiful steamer for about 30 minutes. I followed up with Curls Quenched Curls and Curly Q Custard. I did not apply it as I should have so hair was less defined than I like. These are pictures taken Saturday

Saturday night, I spritzed hair with strong tea until damp and applied Curls Whipped Cream (thicker than the Curly Q). I used smaller sections and made sure strands felt moisturized. I put hair in six twists before going to bed. I undid them the next morning and applied AO B5 gel. I used a little too much but I liked the results.

ur hair can do NO WRONG!! ok so between u and femme; i need yall to stop pass the makeup thread to explain how yall do the smokey eye...

You are workin that smokey eye!! I gotta get my skills up!!

Chrs, I just think you are so cute (is that weird to say...probably) but I said it anyway

Hi lady, thanks for the beautiful comment! I liked both results. Since I can get the Reshma brand (and purchased four boxes) locally, I will keep with it. They come 200g to a box. That is the amount I use. Jamila comes in 100g boxes. You could see the difference between my right and left sides?! Please do tell.

I liked both henna brands. Will continue with Reshma since I can get it locally. You want tips from muah, really, I will definitely share what I learn here or on the makeup thread.

My clothes fit so much better with new bras.
