Over the past queen's jubilee weekend, MUA, MakeUp Academy, a drugstore brand in the UK, had some discounts on their new lipstick line Lip Boom. This line is as a result of a collaboration between the feisty musician Alexandra Burke and MUA. I had been meaning to get hold of some some of the lippies as they are Gorg-E-Ous! So when i chanced upon the 2 for £4 offer, i couldn't resist but grab it.

So i ordered the 2 shades i had eyed from the launch which was LMK (Let Me Know) and It's A Situation. Both lippies are double end tubes with a super glittery highlighting gloss at one end and a matte lipstick at the other end. The lippies are quite moisturizing and wear well on the lips. Did i say how amazing it smells? Sort of chocolate and vanilla, hmmmm! I was looking to get more vampy lippies when MUA released the Lip Booms so it was definitely a hit for me. Both shades are dark colours and i believe would suit any skin tone. I am eyeing two other shades OK.COM, a nude beige, and Cheeky, a nude pink.

As i have recently bc'ed, i have been searching for products to help with the styling of my TWA teeeeny weeeeny afro lol its not even there yet. Anyways, i was fortunate to have received samples from the new Organic Root Stimulator line "Curls Unleashed".

The new Curls Unleashed line caters specifically to ladies with naturally curly, coily or kinky hair. It consists of products that you would need for a healthy hair regime; shampoo, conditioner, leave-in and styling products. The good thing about these products is that they do not contain parabens and are sulphate free.

So i received samples of two products: the Curls Unleashed Take Command Curl Defining Creme and Set It Off Curl Boosting Jelly. The curl boosting jelly is jelly-like and the curl defining creme feels like a mixture of gel and cream, a jelly cream but quite moisturizing as well.

Hello Naturalistas,

So i finally did the big chop. Yesssss!!!!! its been 3 weeks since i did and i love it. Honestly i even forget i have short hair until someone comments or when i catch myself in the mirror or window, lol. Guess at the end of the day its still me and its just hair, i define my hair, it doesn't define me.

So my big chop experience: i must say i was just ready to get on with it and kinda eager. So yh, i was super excited. No tears, just laughter. I am really happy with my new look, takes me back to my secondary school days where we had to cut our hair for boarding school.

So i got positive feedback and well no negative just neutral feedback as well. Esp from the BF. lol He really couldn't be bothered about it and am sure he'd prefer me with long hair, oh well its gone now, hahahahaha!

So just enjoy the video i posted on youtube and in another post i'll talk about how i am taking care of it.

So what do you think? Share your big chop experience.

Love, Annette
