Long time no blog. :( I'm sorry.It's been hectic in my life! I am now a salon owner for those of you who did not know! Yay!
Anyway, I put out on my facebook page and instagram a Questions and Answer post. I let my followers ask any kind of questions they wanted. I filmed a video and made it super awesome...and then I had troubles getting it to save..sad face. So I couldn't post it. So here I am ,doing the next best thing- typing a blog. Shall we begin?
Q:Have you used ProActive products before?
A: I have not. I have been very fortunate to never suffer from acne. All through middle school and high school I have had pretty clear skin (other than black heads and such). So I have never had a reason to use their products.
Q: Where does a novice start to build a beauty routine?
A: If you're talking where to start on products- start with your basics;especially if you're a mother and don't have time for all the fancy things such as highlighting and contouring. Take time in the makeup section to find out what you like. Try out a foundation with some mascara and eyeliner. Foundation and mascara is the one thing I don't leave the house without. It doesn't have to be anything over the top, But for the nights you do feel like primping- pick up an eyeshadow pallet to jazz up your eyes a bit. Most drugstores carry a ton of different variations
Q: What size/brand curling iron do you use
A: I use HotTools at home and in the salon and the size varies from 1inch to 1 1/2 inch barrel-depending if I wear my extensions or not. Hot Tools can be found at Ulta.
Q:What is a good conditioner for fine hair.
A: I cannot give you an exact brand because I do not have fine hair. But, look for the ingredient PENTHENOL. This ingredient penetrates into the hair strand to make it stronger. So if you find a conditioner with this ingredient, you should be safe. And as far as shampoos for fine/oily hair- look for the same ingredient, but also, stay away from the "creamy/lotion" like texture/look. You want something that is clear. And try using a clarifying shampoo like once a week, and also dry shampoo will really help. I cannot stress that enough.
Q: What is a good brand for Dry Shampoo?
A: My favorite is Redken Pillow Proof. That is the dry shampoo that I have on hand.
Q:Best contouring product. High end and drugstore
A: I do not using any high end contouring products. The only thing I use that is highend is my Too Faced Medium Chocolate Bronzer to set my contour. As far as drugstore, I usually Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Stick in shade 350, otherwise I use Loreal True Match Blendable Liquid Foundation.
Both work great for an easy application
Q: Best eye makeup?
A: I have very good luck with mascara and eyeliner products from CoverGirl and Maybelline. As far as eyeshadow- my Naked Pallets and Lorac Pro Pallet, and Chocolate Bar Pallet are my go-tos.
Q: Best hair washing product?
A: Anything that your stylist recommends in a salon. Seriously.Cannot stress this enough.
Q:Best Makeup from WalMart
A: Foundation wise; Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation or Revlon Color Stay
Mascara: Loreal Voluminous Mascara or Cover Girl Clump Crusher
Eyeliner: Maybelline Unstoppable
Q:Best way to make your hair grow faster?
A: I advice coconut oil treatments or aloe vera gel treatments. Both of these stimulate hair growth and leave your hair feeling great. Biotin or Prenatal Vitamins. Drink lots of water. And keep up on your trims.
Q:How do you use Biore Nose Strips with a nose ring?
A: My nose ring is a hoop that is connected all the way through. So I just put the strip over top and pull off starting from the opposite side.If I am wearing a stud ring, I just take it out and proceed. I've had my nose pierced for almost 6 years so it will not close on me in 15min.
Q:Urban Decay Naked Pallets or Too Faced Chocolate Bar.
A: OMG. What a hard question. I didn't think it would be so hard to answer, but I love them both! I've been using my Naked3 almost daily lately. But I love all the brown neutral shades of the chocolate bar. Ahh! I'm going to have to say Too Faced Chocolate Bar.Just for the amount of brown/neutral shades it has.Plus it cost less and smells like chocolate and it's dabomb.com!
Q: Favorite Beauty YouTubers?
A: Cody Wren is one. Meg (I don't know her last name) here is her link because she is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/user/ciaoobelllaxo. Also Jaclyn Hill has got it going on! Check her out!https://www.youtube.com/user/Jaclynhill1
Q: Best hairspray?
A: Hands down Kenra 25. This stuff is amazeballs. If you guys like Big Sexy Hair products-you'll love kenra. I personally do not like Big Sexy Hairsprays,but I couldn't go without my Kenra. I have thick hair so getting anything to stay is impossible without this hairspray. I also use this on all my updos at the salon. Its a little pricer (like $20) but you can usually find good deals on them, like a really big can plus a travel size can for $24! Can't go wrong with that!
Q: What are your plans for the new salon?
A: I don't want to say too much- but just know, there is going to be great change coming! I will however say that I will be offering makeup services!!
Q:Favorite Liquid eyeliner?
A: NYX Liquid Liner
Q: Favorite Clothing store?
A: Hmmm. I shop at Maurices a lot...but I think that's because I have a credit card there. I shop at Target and Walmart a lot. I only buy my leggings and black and white shirts from WalMart because I ruin so many at work between bleach and color, that I'd rather only spend $4 on a shirt than $20 plus. I buy all my sweaters and camis from Target,which is pretty much my everday outfit. Don't judge me.
Q:Why are you and your boyfriend so cute? Like why aren't you people famous.
A: This question made me giggle. haha. It was cute.Thank you Lilly! It's true love!
That concludes my Q&A! Thank you so much to all who participated!! I love you all and I can't wait to share 2015 with you guys!
