Curly Girl Journey

Remember a few days ago I was saying that I wanted to invest in a texture iron? Well my friend brought in hers today and I absolutely LOVED it. It was by Turbo Power. It was mini so it took a little bit to crimp her entire head, but it was well worth it. I did the upstyle below:

I can't believe that this is true. I am a sharp angled curved top! I never used to be a big lipstick wearer, but ever since I started school I have been using it a lot more. The lipstick that I received in my ipsy bag is currently my favorite one, it's by NYX Cosmetics in the shade "Pops". It goes on so smoothly and makes my lips feel soft. Since I am kind of a noob at lipsticks, if you have any recommendations I'd be open to it. Let me know what your lipstick personality is and what is currently your favorite lipstick!

I really want a texture iron to use on different hairstyles and updos and I have been looking at one in particular by Sam Villa. I tried it at the International Beauty Show in NYC earlier this month and I LOVED it. It worked so well and it looked great, it even lasted a few days. I know there are other texture irons out there like the one by hot tools. I feel that the one by Sam Villa is definitely a tighter crimp and a better quality. Have any of you tried a crimper or texture iron? What were your feelings on it? 

Here's a picture of a ballerina braid that I did on my friend. It's such a pretty braid and can be worn anywhere. Should I do a tutorial?

Here are the Winners of the Stylist Choice Awards: Stylist Choice Awards 2015 There are a lot of products that I want to try on this list. I will definitely have to purchase the Deva Curl product line! 

Essie released a new line called "Cashmere Matte." It looks  absolutely fabulous, but does it last ? After quite a bit of research, I found that many people who purchased the nail polish from the matte collection were unhappy and they said it chipped very easily. My favorite color in the collection is Just Stitched! I will have to go purchase it and see how I feel about it. I also will need to buy a matte top coat. What is your favorite color from this collection? & Have you tried this product?
