Ages ago, I saw a picture on Instagram of the most beautiful ombre braids, and it stuck with me. It was an off-black, pink, and pinkish blond combination. I scoured Amazon and Ebay hoping to find a similar ombre, and finally it hit me to just do a Google Image Search – duh! I was …

This post is beyond overdue; it’s all of my 2019 empties! There are so many, I dreaded writing mini reviews for all of them. However, self-isolation really leaves a lot of free time. Below are reviews of some of the full size products that I liked. Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask: This is my favourite …
A Long Overdue Hair Update
I was about to write a review for Olaplex and remembered it’s been ages since I’ve actually posted about my hair here! In December, I got my hair professionally coloured and have had a few highlight sessions since then. The last of which left me with a few slightly looser strands in the front, where …
Review: Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Jelly
I’ve rewritten this review at least 3 times already. I cannot seem to make up my mind about this product. One minute I love it, the next I think it’s just blah. I’ve finished the entire bottle now, which is disappointing because I’ve just figured out the best way for me to use it. Below …

Updated Review: Bobeam Shampoo Bars
I absolutely love the Bobeam shampoo bars. Cleansing without stripping. They’re a staple part of my routine. I have the mini sizes of Cocoa Olive, Lemon Drop, and Honey and Oats (review here). Though Laquita, the owner had said they would last approximately 2-3 washes, but I’ve used them all at least 10 times. I …
Update: Afrotique Never Go Dry
Just a quick update. I mentioned in my last update that I was concerned about the water-based products not having stronger preservatives. Well, I have had the products for about 2 months now, in this Bahamian heat, and I have had no problems. I don’t refrigerate my products either so that should give you an …
