Rihanna Inspired Side Shaved Full Wig

The shaved side hair trend has been seen on stars such as Cassie, Rihanna and many more. For those of us who enjoy the trends, but do not want to cut our hair (or shave) ISIS Collection (red carpet premier) made a full wig that can give the sleek cut inspired by Rihanna and the long luxurious waves we hope for with this hair style.

Key points:

• Hair is synthetic
• Hair is heat resistant futura fiber so it can be curled

Straight out the box the hair is soft and seems easy enough as it is a plop on and go kind of wig. However, I did find a few cons:

• Cap was seemed a bit small. I had to pull my natural hair down as best I could to make it not look bulky.
• There was some tangling as I ran my fingers through the longer hair.

However, here are some pros to the hair:

• It's a full wig so no blending
• No combs so there is no worry of snagging

All in all, it's a great wig to have if you are looking to switch things up. 

MAC Archie's Girls Collection

I was so excited to be apart of the MAC Archie Collection pre launch party on Feb. 5th. I headed out to the NorthPark Mall in Dallas, TX for the event.

There were cute party drinks and little apple turnovers to fill your tummy as you swatched and tried the products. There was even an "Archie" to snap a photo with. However, I wish there was a Betty and Veronica with him.


I picked up 3 lipsticks ($16.50 each for .10oz) from the collection: Red Ronnie, Betty Bright and Daddy's little girl. Enjoy the photos and shop maccosmetics.com

 Ronnie Red is a bright-pink red with blue undertones and I love it. This is a long wearing lipstick as there was a bit of a stain left on my hand and my lips after I swatched it.

Daddy's Little girl is the cutest girly pink! However, it does have some strong blue undertones with a creamy finish and make sure your lips are exfoliated before wear with this one. There are so many pinks out there that look like this but hey, I had to pick this up.

After swatching it on my hand I was afraid to give Betty Bright a chance. It is more of a pinky coral color and I felt it may be too bright for me. However, like most bright colors on dark skin, I knew a lip liner could manipulate it into something pretty awesome and wearable. I also found that pressing my lips together with this product did give a line of demarcation so watch out for that.

Overall I do feel this was a collection that brings out the nostalgia behind the Archie Comic brand for us older ladies/guys and gives everyone a fun start to their makeup collection this spring.

Fun At IMATS in Pasadena, CA

Hey guys! So, if you follow me on my social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) then you knew this was my first year at IMATS (International Makeup Artists Trade Show) and it was amazing. I got to meet a few fellow YouTubers along the way and also enjoy all the sites and sounds at the Pasadena convention center. Although there were a decent amount of makeup exhibitors that were selling items, there were also a number of beauty schools there too. This was very exciting and even though I didn't buy hardly anything (except one brush), enjoy the pictures.
