Mixed Chicks



I have been wearing my natural hair for almost six years now!  I was very worried when I first decided to go natural because I'd been getting perms since childhood and really didn't know my true texture.  I was a product junky for quite some time but I've at least figured out what leave-in conditioner works best for my texture.

I truly love Mixed Chicks Leave-In Conditioner.  It's truly curl defining with no frizz. You’ll love the way this alcohol-free, non-sticky, lightweight product leaves your hair inviting to touch as it defines and locks moisture into every curl.

Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat

I have very thin nails.  All I did was file my nails, wash my hands then apply the Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat.  It dries fast and doesn't have a strong odor.  My nails were also instantly hard and pink.  I applied an additional coat two more times.  After a week, I removed the polish and applied a fresh coat.  This could be worn alone, or under your favorite color.  It saves you money on manicures so for that reason alone, it's worth every bit of $30!

California Baby Calendula Cream

I discovered this product while in search for something to clear up a rash on my daughters face.  In just two days after the first use, her face was as clear and smooth as her bottom! :-)  I applied it to her face and neck (the areas where the rash was) twice a day; once was at night because it has this soothing lavender aromatherapy type of scent. 

The price is kind of steep, $20 for a 4 oz jar.  However, I will continue to use it because it is all natural and it works!

All Natural Boudreaux's Butt Paste

This diaper rash cream is awesome.  It's light.  Goes on and cleans off easily.  I apply a thin layer after every diaper change and my daughter has never had a diaper rash (knock on wood).  It's well worth the $10 for a 4 oz tube.

Nature Made Prenatal Multi Tablet

Yes these are Prenatal Vitamins but any young woman can take them, pregnant or not.  These vitamins won't make you nauseous or constipated.  They are very gentle on the stomach and help to make your skin, hair and nails as healthy as ever.  Not to mention, studies have shown that women of child-bearing age whom started taking prenatal vitamins for a few months prior to getting pregnant, lowered the risks of their children developing certain diseases and cancers.   I take one every night before bed.  $20 for 250 tablets is a steal!

Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss w/ SPF15



I absolutely love this lip gloss. It stays on even through meals, it's not sticky, it's tasteless, so you don't have to worry about a yucky taste and best of all, it as SPF 15 as well. Most often we ladies put a lot of thought in accessories but not much thought in taking care of our skin especially while we're young. It's very important to apply sunscreen, yes ladies even to your lips, because what you do to/with your skin now, will reflect when you're old. The luxurious formula with vitamins A, C & E and sea kale revitalizes and nourishes lips for a silky-smooth texture that's never tacky or dry. It's priced at about $22.00. This may seem pretty steep for a lip gloss but a little goes a long way so I think it's worth every penny.
