Since I am being a little girly why not talk about makeup too! I just ventered into the makeup scene around my sophomore year in college. Then I started wearing eyeshadow. Now two years later I keep my primer, foundation, eyeshadow quake and entire kit right in my bag. I have a tried a few products and not all of them are great. Reguardeless of the riduculous price, the mascara at MAC is not at all that great for the price, but the studio fx foundation is AWWWWEEESOMME!
I compared and contrasted the items from other stores and places. It surprised me to find that a lot of the ones I like best were the underdogs.
VICTORIA'S SECRET EYELID PRIMER
This primer has passed the test time and time again. It works twice as good as both of the MAC eyeshadow primers I tried. Move asside MAC, VS is on the makeup map!

Milky Way
Milky way is a great brand to by when you plan on going somewhere and want to look great and have a quality of hair that is least likely to shed as much as the others. This is the next level up from the Que by milky way hair. It curls wonderfully and lasts up to 4 months.
TYPES OF WEAVE
When buying weave I also take several things into consideration.
#1 How long will I be keeping this style up? is usually the first question. Human Hair weave can cost anywhere from ten dollars to hundreds of dollars. I spend depending on what quality I want. If im only going to keep it up a few weeks, its not smart to spend 150 dollars on hair you only plan to wear for 2 to 3 weeks. I have a few brands that I prefer that fit in different price ranges.
My favorite and least expenisive would have to be QUE by milky way.
This brand is the bomb dot com! It curls easily and looks great on. I use it whenever I need a quick fix!
It is really easy to layer and looks great on!

Invisible Part
This is an example of what an invisible part looks like on a quick weave. I also do these on weaves that are sewn in.
Here are some of the styles I have actually done with the invisible part:
The person in this example is the female of course.
Check me out though! they are fly!!!! All Sew Ins, quickweaves are for cheaters! lol
Courtney
Courtney is a close friend of mine. She chooses to wear weave just because she likes it. Her natural hair is fine with her she just likes to change up her style randomly. Here is a before and after of a few of her styles.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
What Courtney has in her hair here is a sew in with an invisible part. The invisible part is a very unique style of creating an illusion that there is a part in the hair. in reality there is none of the natural hair revealed at all.

Styles by Muah!
Here are a few sew ins that I created based on what my clients wanted. Here is the first one.
My clients are my friends so I will always refer to them by name. Jasmine (above) has very thick natural hair. This made doing her sew in harder to braid and easier to style. It was hard to braid because all of the parts must be small so that it doesnt look like a huge lump of hair under her weave. She was going for a natural look but wanted hair longer than her normal BOB cut. This is the after shot of her sew in. Directly below is the before shot of Jasmine when she does not have weave in her hair.
Its hard to believe that the first picture isnt her real hair. That was the look she was going for. I feel like a good beautician.... *all smiles

Sew In
After you have created the bee hive, you then thread the curved needle the same way that you would if you were going to sew clothing.
next you have to place the tracked hair onto the braid and connect using the thread. The way you sew this will not be exactly the same way you sew your favorite old t shirt. you want to go under the braid and loop the thread to knot it. this is very hard to explain and easier to watch. The post directly before this one is a video I enjoy from a youtube user named Ms Chanda. She explains well and her styles turn out great!
I hope you enjoy!
