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!!!!

I Heart my Indie Lee Body Scrub

Hello My BA Beauties. Welcome to another installment of my P.O.V.  Today, I am going to talk about my love for my Indie Lee Body Scrub.

The Body Scrub.. as if you can't read it :)


I was introduced to the Indie Lee body scrub from my Beauty army kit for February.  Now, I love baths. (weird right :) but when I saw this as one of my monthly choices, I had to try it. I have tried many body scrubs through out my 35 year lifetime but Ms. Indie Lee's is by far one of the better ones. Just to give you all a little background on Indie Lee. She is a brain surgery survivor who on Earth 2009 was given a second chance at life. When she found out the environmental  toxins were the cause of her tumor, she began her quest to create the finest beauty products using nothing but natural ingredients.



Once I got this in my hands, I proceeded to take my bath. Barring any bad visuals from that statement, when I used my scrub gloves with the scrub, it was AAAAAMMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIIINNNNNGGG!!!! As most of you maybe aware, some scrubs may feel a little to rough on your skin, but not with on. It is just right, You feel like you are taking of your dead skin with out feeling like you removed all your skin.  Once, you are done, you are left with a very gentle coconut and citrus scent and base. Your skin will fell amazing and you will smell great.

What the scrub looks like

I have also learned from Indie Lee herself that she will have a trunk show at Henri Bendels here in NYC. If any of my BA Beauties are in the city March 19th -25th, definitely come out and support.

I submit for your consideration, Indie Lee. Here is her link.
