Beauty Rush: 2012 Beauty Finds

So with the new year approaching I thought it would be nice to list some products new and old to me that are on my must have list for the new year.

1) EOS Lip Balm - This lip balm is a great pick it's 95% organic and 100% natural and will keep your lips looking and feeling healthy.

2) Lobsterman's Balm - works wonderful on dry cracked hands, feet and lips it is a great product during the harsh weather seasons.

3) Help, I have Allergies - This isn't necessarily a beauty product but I find this brand of travel sized makeup packets are so convenient.

4) Burt's Bees Therapeutic Bath Crystals - This is pretty self explanatory pour some of this in your bath water for a comforting and relaxing bath.

5) Rose Salve - Lip balm that is amazing.

6) Sephora Blotting Paper

7) MAC Water Hydrating Mist

8) MAC Nail Lacquer - Color Hyperion

1) What would you say your fashion style was? (Bohemian, chic, glam)

Hmmm, I'd say all three of these are a part of my style.  One day I may be rocking a boho look, the next time I could be very chic.  So I can't really narrow it down to one.

2)  What is your favorite fashion trend of 2011?

Platform pumps! I have 3 pairs - Leopard, Nude patent, and Blush pink suede.

3) What are the top three pieces in your wardrobe?

I would have to say any of my scarves, my gold Michael Kors watch, and my Pink Ruffle Steve Madden coat.

On Being Natural....

4) When did you decide to go natural and what made you decide to go?

 I decided to go natural last year...no real rhyme or reason.  I got a sew-in that summer, and after taking it down I decided to not put a relaxer on my hair. I figured I had went that long (3-4 months) let' see how long I can keep this up.  In the interim, I got braids and rod sets.  Finally I could no longer that the 2 different textures, and decided to do the big chop in November 2010.

5) What is your favorite style to rock?

A twist out! It's fun and big :)

Right after BC in Nov 2010

6) What is one product you would be useless without?
I don't have a lot of products because I typically go to the salon - Serenity MYO in St Louis, MO.  I have never had much patience with hair.  However, recently I purchase Virgin Coconut oil for my scalp.  I really like the product, it's not heavy or wet, yet it still leaves my hair feeling hydrated and it doesn't mess up the style (ie: flat twists).

7) What advice would you give to someone that is newly natural?

I would tell them to embrace your natural hair! It's growing put of your scalp...and it's a beautiful thing - no matter the texture or curl pattern.
