DIY: Smokey Eyes

So I've been dibbling and dabbling in makeup lately. I've always done my own face very well (give me 1 hour and watch me beat my face to the gawds!), however I am still learning how to do other faces and most importantly; eyeshadows.

My pinterest inspiration

Doing eyes properly takes skill, precision, and a few great brushes. I have always been a fan of intense eyes through the use of dark eyeshadows and black eyeliner. I seriously can't go anywhere without my black liner. So it was only right that I put my latest pinterest obsession and skills to the test by attempting a super dark smokey eye on my model below.

REVIEW: ORS Scalp Scrub - Thin Edges

Weak edges run in my family, especially for the women. My hair can grow to mid-back length, but my thin edges won't allow me to enjoy the growth. Thinning hair can be caused by alot of things, such as tight hair styles, genetics, and alopecia.

My edges are not HORRIBLE, but they have become thinner over the years. I will gladly show pictures, after I thicken them up a bit with a few products I am currently using. One of the products I am using is called Organic Root Stimulator Scalp Scrub, and it is made of a mix that stimulates hair follicles in areas of the scalp that may be lifeless and thinning.
