12 Weeks Post Relaxer
My hair is sprouting like wildfire! But...I'm managing thank heavens. I've been sealing it every night and it does wonders with the texture and 2 hair types that I have now. It itches sooooo much lol. 3 months down 6 more to go! I'm only transitioning for 9 months...afterwards I'll do the BC and wear some sort of braids!

Monistat Chafing Gel As A Face Primer
Yes...I said it! And it WORKS! Ladies, you can google this and see how many people are using this as a primer. And NOOOO..it's not THAT type of Monistat LOL. Some reviews are below from Amazon.com, as well as Ingredients!! ANd people who use Smashbox's primer say this stuff is the EXACT same thing, as well as the same ingredients. ANd what I loved about this is that it gave my face a silky finish, filled in those little pores and protected my skin.
1. Contains Cyclopentasiloxane (silicone-based emollient), dimethicone (skin protectant)(also the main ingredients for Smashbox Primer, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer (oil absorbant), silica (dessicant), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E, preservative), trisiloxane (spreading agent). DOES NOT contain fragrance or added color.
2. Face Primer Miracle!!, September 19, 2008

J. Gonzales "torre667" (Willard, MO) - See all my reviews I heard about using this as a face primer before applying mineral, or other, makeup. I got it, and was amazed the first time I used it. My face looked years younger, fresher, and healthy. And that's saying a lot, as I am pushing 40, w/ red rosacea like oily and sensitive skin! I have used it, very little goes a long ways, for over 3 weeks now. I have not had a single reaction or breakout w/ it, as some have experienced. It's cheap enough, so I say, try it! If it doesn't work as a face primer, it can surely be used as what it was intended for, on males and females. So no loss at all. Thanks to all the ladies who posted about this on Makeup Alley and EverydayMinerals!!

4. This Monistat Product is a Great MakeUp Primer, December 31, 2007
By
J. Holzman (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviewsA girlfriend to me about how this monostat product has as much dimethicone/silicone as the fancy base makeup foundation primers. I didn't believe it but after reading a review decided to give this stuff a shot and you know what? It's BETTER than my $38/bottle smashbox I've been using. Part of what convinced me to try this was a review that explains why this product works so well. To find it Google the phrase "MONISTAT TRUTH".

Too Faced Glamour To Go Palette
♥! Rave People!
This little baby is quite small and pocketbook friendly :) LOL! I absolutely LOVES it, 8 pretty shadows and 4 luscious lip glosses :)! I pretty blush, this is all you need when you are ON THE GO! My sister ordered this baby from Victoria Secret, although you can purchase it from www.sephora.com or www.toofaced.com. I did a review on this on my youtube channel so you guys can check that out over to the right somewhere on my page. I love this palette, its simple and all you need are like a few mini brushes and you're good! The blush is a little to pale for my skin so it could probably go as a highlight for me. I give this an overall 8 out of 10!
