Kinky Curly Curling Custard







OK!!!!!!



I liked the KCCC. However the smell was too cakey. It smelled like Vanilla Ice Cream with Maraschino Cherries on top.



The results were kind of phenominal. I loved how curly my hair was, but I honest think I used way too much in the back and on my edges. The back and sides of my hair were gummy, and sticky and I didn't like that at all.



So I will try again, when I take my braids out, and I will see what happens then.






Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure and my displeasure. I look horrible! LOL
ALSO! This was my morning after post after I slept on the curls and it still wasn't fully dry and gummy like I said before.

OYIN HANDMADE REVIEW


YAY! I finally got my ISH!

I am a fan of these products and I have to say the only real girp I have about them is that it takes 2 weeks to arrive.


Here is what I bought, and this is how I feel about the purchase.


Shine and Define: I love the smell, and the consistency. I feel like I have to use it while my hair is sopping welt to really make a difference, but since I've been natural and wearing my hair out, I find that most products require this.

The first time I used the product it became flaky and I didn't like the outcome of my twist out so much. However, I realized that this product in my case, should not be used for that. When I braid my hair it works great and when I slick it back it works wonderfully. In my opinion that is what this product works best for.


Burnt Sugar Pomade: Again, I liked this. I didn't love the smell as much as The Shine and Define, but I loved it non the less.

I used this for braids and I LOVE IT! It works really quite well, and I have to say since my journey began in October 2008, I've become a hair product whore.LOL

My hair was shiny, less tangled and smelled good. Gets my 2 thumbs up!


Honey-Hemp Conditioner- I liked this as a CO-Wash conditioner, but not as a really substantial conditioner. It did make my hair feel softer, but I like something that would be thicker. Now, I will give Oyin the benefit of the doubt because their products are handmade and I know how variables can be.


I give them 4 stars overall. My gripes are small and I am not a nit picker, nothing is perfect. However, I will be purchasing again and again.

I am now a repeat customer. LOL

Next on my Oyin Journey..... Juices and Berries :)

EGO ANYONE???

Lately i've been soft of feeling myself. I know there are somethings I need to improve, and because I've been steadily moving toward completing some the the goals I set forth for myself. I'll link you some of the videos that spell out how I feel.

Oh and not to mention, look out for some product videos and some lip gloss reviews.....

Oyin Handmade! It Finally Came!!!

Hello All!

I finally received my products from Oyin Handmade. First off I do really like the products I used, but I didnt't give you all a full list of what I've purchased.

Here's The List:

1. Shine and Define- gentle stlying serum
2. Honey Hemp Conditioner
3. Burnt Sugar Pomade
4. Whipped Pudding

I really like them all, and I have to say its mainly because they actually do what they say they are going to do.
I just received the honey hemp conditioner and burnt sugar pomade, and I have used the burnt sugar cpomade already. It Ssmmeellss gooodd! Like butterscotch candy.
The honey hemp conditioner will have to wait until after I take my braids out. To me the honey hemp conditioner and the shine and define both smell like Pineapple Now & later candy.
I love 'em! So hurry up and buy, and support this black owned business!

GOD SENT HIM TO ME!!




Ok, first I an not talking about a new love..... One can only hope (but thats a whole 'nother story). The man I am talking about is named N'krumah and he is a seriously talented jewelry designer.


This is how I came across his website. I was looking for some bronze earrings (yes I was being particular) and I was NOT finding them. I frequently the Clutch Magazine Website, and was just scrolling through, reading what caught my eye. And BAM! I see his earrings. Eureka! was exactly what I thought. So now, since I am giving you the gospel. Please check out this brothas information!








P.S. I haven't purchased anything YET (because of money constraints), but I plan on it very soon. Look at some of his goodies below.

I TOLD Y'ALL GIVE ME A MINUTE AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!!!

I am so sorry i've been gone. Life has been extremely hectic. I will over the next few days make like 1 trillion posts, with the hope that you'll forgive me. :)

First OFF!!!

I have tried Oyin Handmade products. First let me say, I've so far only purchased the Shine and Define and to say the least I liked it. I thought it was kind of light, but I bought some more. I love the smell, its light and fruity.
My only gripe is that it TAKES TWO WEEKS TO GET YOUR STUFF! But on the flip side of that, I have to say that I truly respect handcrafted goodies :)
I have a new order that should be coming in tomorrow (fingers crossed). I ordered the Honey Hemp Conditioner, Shine and Define and Burnt Sugar Pomade. Seriously, I am looking forward to getting my goodies. I will definitely let you guys know how it is going.

Check out their site @ : www.oyinhandmade.com
