Good Day Everyone!

I ordered mine from lastnamediva.bigcartel.com. They were on sale for $11.50, with shipping and handling I believe I paid a little over $17.00.







 




The Review…
I have to be honest here! While unwrapping the package, one of the stones fell out the earrings. I’m giving the company the benefit of the doubt because it was shipped and packages are probably thrown most of the time. I had no problem placing the stone back in. Just a little super glue did the trick!

Lastnamediva.bigcartel.com had some other nice accessories on their website. Check them out!

Hi everyone!! Here is my first make-up artist feature! I give you the MaryKay Diva herself, Andre’a Jackson! Ms. Jackson (soon to be Mrs. Randle) personality is unlike anybody I’ve ever met! She is always excited about something and always has a smile on her face! With all that energy I just had to have her on my blog!

Name: Andre'a Jackson

When did you know that you wanted to become a make-up artist?
In 2005/2006 when I started MaryKay. I started wearing the products and I would always get compliments on my make-up.

In your opinion, what is the most common mistake that ladies make when it comes to make-up?
The wrong foundation and too much foundation. Too many black/white women and Too many white/orange women! And “the mark of demarcation”, that line that you see where their make-up and hair line begins. Most women don’t know that they are supposed to blend their foundation into the hairline and the neck area.



Getting people to step outside their box in make-up and skin care because people are set in their ways. I usually win them over at the end of a MaryKay party or at the end of a consultation!

Making it to Top 10 in my MaryKay unit and being recognized in MaryKay worldwide magazine  Applause as a Double Gold Medalist.


Andre’a Jackson Motto: One appointment with me will change your face forever!! I’ll “beat your face to perfection”.

I’ll have to say that it is always a pleasure meeting up with Andre’a! If you are looking for a new Mary Kay lady, make-up inquires, weddings, and special events she is certainly the one to call on! Here is how to keep in contact…

I know I'm like 8 days late buuuut HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone is off to a great start.  I'm not going to lie, I had a great 2012 but I can't wait to see what exciting things are going to happen in 2013! Be expecting a lot new things for the Blog! I have some great features, reviews, showcases, and contests in stored!

Now, I still have the common ones like losing about 15 pounds, work on time management, and to have more patience. But, I also have my fashion new year resolutions!

Quality vs. Quantity-I want to purchase more pieces that are going to last me quite some time. This might mean that the cost of them will be a bit more but at least I know I will be getting more bang for my buck! I don't know about you but I get frustrated when I see that there is a  hole in shirt! But then I think back and realized that I probably didn't pay that much for that shirt either... I'm not saying that I'm going to stop shopping at Ross or Marshall's but I will have a better eye for quality clothes and shoes.

The Fit- This year I want to make sure my clothes fit me properly. This means that I will have to actually try the clothes on before purchasing! No snugly or over sized jeans or pants. I have a hard time finding jeans and pants that fit because I have very curvy thighs and hips. But if I really want a pair of pants I will go about seeing if I can get them tailored.

Better Skin Care- This is not saying that I do not wash my face!  I just want to do a better job at it and find products that work for me.

To Take More Risks- I do want to take more risks with my clothes. I'm not saying Nicki Minaj or Gaga style but just going out the box a lil bit. Of course I want to do more with colors and prints. We will just have to see what I come up with! ;-)

I hope you enjoyed my fashion new year resolutions! Maybe you will make up your own?!

This is a quick hair post on how my hair is styled at the moment! I have a weave people! This is what I like to call my "usual". This is NOT a full sew-in. I have about seven pieces sown in and my hair is mostly out at the top for easy parting.


What kind of hair do you use?! The hair is called Laila. It is a yaky texture in 16 inches (I like long hair!). Me personally, I am not a fan of Remy hair. I like the fact that yaky hair looks like my natural hair and blends exceptionally well. Many people make the mistake of thinking that this is my REAL hair and I love it! ; )

NOTE:  This brand of hair is not in all beauty supply stores. If you live in the East Texas area the hair is from Sun Shop in Tyler, TX.

Any products used?! I try not to use any products on my hair or the weave hair until about a week and a half since installment. I feel like when you add product it starts to weigh the hair down and is not much body in the hair anymore. But, once I do start to use anything I use Neutrogena Total Moisture hair lotion, Bio Silk, or Motions oil sheen.

How long do you leave it up?? I usually leave my hair in for about 3 weeks.

Do you plan to use any Brazilian or Malaysian hair in the future?? Yes I will. I do plan on doing some more research on the Brazilian hair only because I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth! I know there are plenty hair companies to choose from and I just want to make sure my hair is LEGIT!
