{Beauty Product Review} Anastasia's Brow Genius in Brunette

Hi Beauties. Last month, I treated myself to several beauty gifts and one of them was the Anastasia's Brow Genius Kit in Brunette. I purchased this product at Sephora's for $24. I read in a few reviews that this product was perfect for Alopecians because it is waterproof so I had to try it. See below to see how it turned out.

Happy 2014 Beauties!

Have a Glamourful 2014!

Beauties It's Been A While...But

Hi Couture Beauties! Yes, it has been a long time since my last post, but I am still here. Since the passing of my mother, I have been going through a tremendous amount of emotions and changes. I must say that I've been struggling and having a hard time bouncing back to life. I am no longer the Nicole I was prior to my Mother's passing. It's like my whole life did a 360 in a day. Things that meant the world to me then, no longer has the same meaning. If any of you beauties have lost a loved one, I know you understand what I am saying. Even though I have had my weak points, I've been very strong with the strength that God has given me to move forward and focus on being positive (as my Mother would say). I cherished every moment I've been able to spend with my Mom and have memories that will last always. She was such a great mother, teacher, friend, and woman. I always looked up to Mom because fits the poem of being a phenomenal woman.

To help with the grieving process, I've indulged myself in studying for my MBA, which was one of my Mom's wishes for me to accomplish that goal. Couture Lace Crowns is still up and running and the focus is on women who suffers from medical hair loss from chemotherapy treatments, alopecia, lupus, and other medical conditions. One thing I missed about my mom is getting all glammed up in her wigs & makeup and never allowing breast cancer to take her beauty or shine away. Also, in my down time from my career and studying, I am putting my makeup kit together to add makeup application services to Couture Lace Crowns. So if I have any beauties located in the Northern Virginia area, stay tuned for more information about my makeup services.

I will be posting more to keep you updated on the latest hair & beauty goodies! Stay tuned.

{Hair Product Review} Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo

I had originally purchased this product for my daughter's hair, but it ended up to be a disaster. Maybe because I sprayed too much on her hair or it was just not meant for her hair type. Instead of throwing the bottle away, I kept it because I know I could find other uses for it. I did today. I ended up using the dry shampoo on my lace system just to see how it would turn out. Because my scalp is very oily, my lace system tends to get oily as well. I sprayed a light mist from the middle to end of the lace system and used a loop brush to brush out the dry shampoo. I added a small amount of Moroccan Oil to my hair to avoid the alcohol from drying out my ends. I must say that I was pleased with my overall look and feel of my hair. I would not use this product too much because of the alcohol content within the dry shampoo.

Tips to Using Dry Shampoo:

• Do not use close to the lace system base.
• Spray lightly from the mid point to end of the hair.
• Use a loop brush to brush out dry shampoo.
• Seal the hair with Moroccan Oil to avoid the hair from drying out from the alcohol.
