Rain rain... wreck my hair another day!

Those who live in Chicago, are aware of all the rain and hot humid days we have been experiencing. It has taken me years of experiencing to figure out products that would keep my hair manageable in extreme conditions. In high school on humid days I would arrive to school on a humid morning with big puffy and foofy hair,which would force me to wear a ponytail for the entire day. This also added to my envy of girls who had relaxers or naturally strait hair.

Relaxing my hair is personally not for me, therefore I went out on a search to find a product that would work on my natural hair.

One day exploring ULTA I came across the Pantene Pro V Medium to Thick collection, and I must say it has become my favorite product to combat humidity!

Pantene Pro V medium to thick Gel

Would I buy this product again? No

I applied this gel before I blow dried my hair and it left my hair feeling thick and greasy.

Pantene Pro V Medium to Thick Creme

Would I buy this product again? YES!

This product is amazing for combating frizz! I have naturally curly African American hair,and this product does wonders for keeping it smooth and strait. This product can be applies on wet or dry hair, however I only apply it when it is dry, when I know it will be a windy, humid, or rainy day.





Would I buy this product again? YES!

The spray is my favorite out of the medium to thick collection. Not only does it smell amazing, but it locks in moisture and keeps my hair from frizzing up when it is humid outside.

My first roller set on my own!

I finally attempted my first roller set on my natural hair! I only used water, rollers, setting spray, and my blow dryer. I think curly hair is a cute style for summer considering it helps lift the hair out of your face, in addition if you happen to sweat your roots out it's not even noticeable!

Tutorial coming soon :)

Close up on the eye I created that day! I used various oranges and deep pinks.

How To Eliminate Oily Skin In Heat

I'm hoping everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day! For those who also live in Chicago, you know how disgustingly hot the Holiday weekend turned out to be. Due to the fact that I don't like walking around with a face that could solve out nation's OIL CRISIS (lol) I sought out to find a product that could minimize the oil on my skin during the Summer months.

My type of skin

I have very dry skin in the winter months to the point where it can get flaky if I do not properly moisturize. In the summer months my t-zone tends to get very oily very easily.

Although I am personally in love with a dewey faced look I TRULY ADORE URBAN DECAY'S DE-SLICK MATTIFYING POWDER. This product is amazing, it makes my skin look fresh as if I have no oil on my face at all.

The product comes with a convenient pad to apply the product, however I just use my Eco tools powder brush.

Why I like LOVE this product

Not only does this product does what it says it's going to do, but the compact is one of the cutest Ive ever seen, the white powder goes clear on the skin, it works as a setting powder and won't ruin your make up, and the company DOES NOT test on animals!

What are your favorite summer products?
