In with the new, out with the old

Hello my beauty bloggers =) 

I know I've been MIA for the past few weeks but I promise it was not intentional. A side from everyday life, I've had a few meetings to attend, registering for school, etc. I am so busy at the moment but I feel so blessed to have so many new doors and opportunities open up for me. I wanted to share that I am going to be working on my site and YouTube page. It time for a new look so I'm working with a web designer to help me vamp up my site to fit more of my personality. I don't have many followers but I do know that I have a few secret followers who have contacted me directly and apologized for not following in the open. I promise it does not hurt my feelings. As long as I am doing what I love and people come and check in every now in then is more than I could ask for. So until next time my beauties =)

XOXO,
Alexis

Continued: Jewelry Haul

Hello Everyone =)

So on my 1st Video "Jewelry Haul" I stated that I had ordered some items online and I decided to take some pics rather than film a video and just blabber about. So here are the items I picked up and I hope you all enjoy them. Don't forget to subscribe and follow me on youtube. The links are provided on my profile description. I look forward to your comments and requests and tips. 

Until Next Time Beautiful Peeps!

 The first item to come in was my Golden Goose Bracelet from Jewelmint.com. In a nut shell you sign up for a membership and to start you're asked to take a series of fashion style questions and based on your selections items are sent to your showroom for a monthly membership of $29.95. What I like about this website is that you are not obligated to purchase anything. If jewelry is not in your budget you can always skip the month and your credit card will not be charged. Also, a huge plus is their very cute packaging because if i want to give it away as a gift I don't wrapping paper or a gift bag. It's just as cute the way it comes. It's also great for displaying and storing the items you purchase. 

Statement Necklaces: Okay Ladies and Gents I am a huge sucker for statement pieces and Jewelry is no exception. I have so many statement necklaces it's almost a video in it's own. All items were purchased from Forever 21. 

  

 Starting from photos left to right: first photo I properly named it Vintage Glam, Bib necklaces, floral pins, and pearl headbands. Second Photo I decided to name Charming Sweetheart, from key charm necklaces to sweet  charm bracelets. And the last photo is my Nautical Photo, these earrings were purchased at Target. They were on clearance from $9.99 to $4.99, I was so excited when I found these earrings because again they match perfectly with the charm bracelet I'm working on. 

April Favs

Hello Everyone =) 

Sorry for this late post. I have been having issues with my camera. For some reason I can't get it to load my videos or my photos properly. Moving forward I wanted to share some of my Top fav's for the month of April.

As far as hair products go my all time fav's no matter what month it is has to be the Chi 44 Iron Guard & the Infra Shampoo. I use the iron guard when ever I apply heat to my hair and to help try and keep my hair healthy I use the shampoo for moisture therapy. 
 
I am loving the NYX eyeshadows in Mellon Yellow & Hot Orange. Both of these colors are my go to eyeshadows for the past two weeks and they go great together or with other color combos. Also on my top fav is the Maybelline One by One Volume Express Mascara in Black. This mascara really helps separate and extend my eyelashes.

  
 Also a top fav is my Smashbox Eyeshadow quad. This is the perfect color combo for my summer tan inspired looks or when I want to go with a warm neutral look.  

 
Last Minute Fav is my Urban Decay Shadow Box. I purchased this pallet because I fell in love with the pigments these eyeshadows have. 



FAIL PRODUCT
Disclaimer: I don't want to discourage anyone from purchasing this products. It simply did not work for me which does not mean it will or will not work for you. The purpose of this is to share my experiences with the products I used. Lastly, this item was not a promotional item. I personally purchased this item and was paid by me out of my pocket.


With that said, the Chi Infra Treatment did not work for me. It is a thermal protective treatment and is to be applied after showing. My hair is typically normal, not too dry not to oily. I decided to use this product since I use a lot of heated tools on my hair. I used the product for about a two week period and it made my hair extremely oily and unmanageable. On top of that I had to wash my hair the very next day. Overall I felt it was stripping my hair rather than help treat and protect it.

I hope this was helpful to you all, don't forget to subscribe and I look forward to your comments, requests and tips. 

Until next time my beautiful peeps!

XoXo,
Alexis
