Jazz Up Your Lace System With A Little Color

Coloring your lace system can be a very easy, simple, and safe process to complete depending on the products that are used. I usually color my units if the natural color is way too dark for my skin tone or if I just want a change. To lighten the hair to a subtle brownish color, I will use Jazzing Temporary Hair Color by Clairol Professional in Spiced Cognac with heat (microwave 20 second increments until color achieved) for a more permanent color. Prior to Alopecia Totalis, I would use Jazzing to color my natural hair because this was the safest hair color product to use. Not only does Jazzing conditions the hair, it has no ammonia or peroxide that would potentially damage the cuticles. To achieve a more vivid color, you can pre-lighten the hair prior to adding the color. Below is the photo of my original unit 100% Malaysian Remy Light Yaki before adding the color and a photo afterwards. Jazzing can be purchased at your local Sally's Beauty Supply store for under $6.

Hair 'Nspiration | Amber Rose ~ Be Bold, Beautiful & Different

The most amazing thing about wearing wigs is that you can switch up your style and transform your beauty at the drop of a dime. When I first started wearing wigs, I admit I was scared to go too short or too long for the fear of someone knowing I was wearing a wig. I was stuck with the same boring hairstyle for like a year. Something came over me one day where I needed to get out of my box and try new looks. I have to thank the celebrity world for that awesome feeling.

Today's Hair 'Nspiration is about being bold and different. It's okay to step out of the box with new looks whether it be a new hair color, hair length, hair cut, and a wild look. One celeb that I admire is Amber Rose because she doesn't mine stepping out of her box at all! This week is also very special for Amber Rose too because she just gave birth to her & Wiz's beautiful baby boy named Sebastian Thomaz! Just love the name.

Lashes Galore & New Sexy Gloss by Victoria's Secret

Finally Mastered Applying Faux Lashes

Yes, it took me while in applying these lashes, but I fianlly got the hang of it. I tried applying lashes back in 2008 when I had Alopecia Universalis (total all over body hair loss), but I ended up with glue in my eyes and gave up...lol. The lashes shown in the pic are from Eylure Naturalites #116 purchased at Ulta for $5.99. They are a little too long for me and I was scared to trim them, but they are fancy. Next step is learning how to apply bottom lashes where I need it! Wish me luck on that one Beauties..lol  



On my lips is Victoria's Secret New Limited Edition Sexy Kiss Aphrodisiac Gloss in Dedandent Berry. This is going to be my favorite go to gloss. It smells so good, very glossy, shiny, and just the right sparkly for me. I love the packaging too...very girly.

Have A Glamourous Weekend Beauties!

XOXO, Nicole

Weekend Look | Red Lips & Rocket Lashes

Being that it's National Heart Month, I thought I would rock red lips this past weekend. I rarely wear bright or dark colors on my lips because it makes me look extremely pale, but I don't mind going bold every so often. Products used for the lashes & lips is Maybelline's The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara in Blackest Black and Mary Kay's Creme Lipstick in Red.

Eyelashes Before & After Looks 

Due to Alopecia, I have chunks of eyelashes missing but Maybelline's Rocket Volum Express Mascara helps to mask the missing lashes.

Final Look

How are you wearing your Red this month?

Be Bold. Be Beautiful. Be You with Confidence.
