Yes, the Hair & Makeup Post is Late. Now Relax!!!

It is wash day and I decided to do my hair journey & makeup update. If you don't know, I have relaxed hair and I'm on a journey to wear my hair long. I've never worn that way as an adult. Also, I like talking about makeup sometimes, because sometimes I wear it. 

I didn't forget to do a hair journey & makeup update post in June. I was busy. I'll tell you now, I will not post a length check picture.

I'm not wearing my hair wrapped these days. I'm using less heat so I am wearing my almost shoulder length hair in loose curls or roller sets. And to acheive those I just use rollers, pin clips & curl rods. I stopped relaxer stretching to 6 months. I'm back to 3 touch ups a year. I'm stretching them to 4 months. I can also report, I finally found a protein treatment that works for my tresses.

In a bowl, mix

• 1 egg
• 2 Tbs mayonnaise
• 1 Tbs Tea Tree Oil

into my regular amount of my moisturizing condition. I apply it, tip to root once a month as a deep conditioner. My hair is stronger and thicker & I'm happy to finally get the right recipe.

I have actually been doing the trendy thing with my makeup. My old makeup blender split so I bought the popular Real Techniques sponge & a silicon makeup applicator. I really like both. The silicon causes me to use less foundation.The beauty vloggers are correct. Orange concealer is a good solutions for dark areas before putting on your foundation. I like using the L.A. Girl & Hard Candy brands.

I also tried contouring. I'm not into doing that fully every time I do my makeup. And I refuse to contour my nose, again. I love my nose & contouring it looked dumb. I now do my brows more often. Maybelline has mascara inspired wand called Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer. It fills in my brows without making them have the "drawn on" look. 

And yes, I was tempted & purchased a blush palette. These colors are very pigmented. I was sick when I went to see Wonder Woman. This blush palette from Beauty Treats gave me the color I needed to look human.

Well, that's the update on how my face & hair look. Always remember the best beauty products to have are good self-esteem & water to drink. They both help give you a great glow. What is put in the inside, tends to show up on the outside.
