Welcome to world of taking care of curls.. Part Deux

Hello my lovelies. As promised, I am doing my second follow up on taking care of my mane of tight curls. Today was hair washing day so I used these three products.
All from Lush Cosmetics

One size for this Moisturizer $21.95
1st - Jasmine and Henna fluff Hair Moisturizer . This contains Jojoba oil, Almond, Brazil nut and extra virgin coconut oils. This is perfect for us curl girls who are always on the prowl for moisture and great oils for our hair.  You must apply this before you actually do any washing or conditioning. Consider this almost your pre-treatment for your hair. It must stay on your hair for 20 minutes.  The amount you use depends on how long and thick your hair is. For me I used half. for my longer haired beauties, you should use the hole tub. Now before you cry bloody murder about using the whole thing at once, remember this is a treatment. The effects are very long lasting because of the oils in the moisturizer.


Yummy at $23.95


2nd - I rinsed out the Jasmine and Henna Fluff and washed my hair with Curly Wurly Shampoo.  This shampoo seems so good and it is REALLY THICK. It has coconut oil, creamed coconut,  vanilla, mashed avocado and fresh eggs. ( talk about a moisture cocktail). This product also has SLS which helps it lather. You need to make sure when rinsing that you rinse well because there may be bits of coconut around your hair. When I said thick, I meant it ;)


Feels Great $27.95


3rd - For the conditioner, I used Retread. Retread is Lush's triple strength conditioner. ( most of my curl girls know. we always need moisture) Retread has seaweed, lanolin, and soya milk. These provide much needed protein. It also has Jojoba and Avocado. (I wasn't kidding ladies about the moisture). I left this on my hair for 10 minutes, then rinsed.

Now what I will say to my loves with curls, Pat dry your hair. Do not let that towel scrub through your hair. In fact , comb and let air dry .


Here is my end result
 I am shiny , less frizz ( thank god)  curly mess.  My hair feels clean and moisturized.


Have a great day beauties

Be Gorgeous. Be Wonderful. Be YOU!!!!

Want Your Bod to feel like Butter.... Review of Burt's Bees Honey, Almond & Shea Body butter

Hey my Loves. Welcome of to another installment of my P.O.V.  Today, I am going to talk about Burt's Bees Honey, Almond and Shea Body Butter. I received this body butter as part of set in a giveaway I had won a couple months back. One of the reason for the delay in review is because I already have Vaseline intensive rescue repairing moisture lotion (which by the way, I love) but I have to say, this body butter is thick and feels really good.

Size shown is 6.5oz/185g
Be warned. When I say thick, I mean it. Be careful how much you apply.



 My suggestion is not to scoop too much out or you will be rubbing into your skin for a bit.  Once applied, your skin will feel amazing and you will smell like a candy bar (specifically an almond joy)

See how thick and creamy that is ?

I have seen some reviews on this on Drugstore.com but since I have not tried the older formulation, I can only give you my opinion on the current one.

I will warn that if you are not into fragrance, you may want to pass up this butter. The fragrance does last for a while and you will probably hear comments such as " What is that lovely smell?'

I submit for you  trying assessment , the Burt's bees Honey, Almond and Shea body butter

BE GORGEOUS. BE WONDERFUL. BE YOU
