Rihanna Lands unprecedented deal with MAC Cosmetics

According to WWD, Rihanna has landed a historical deal with MAC Cosmetics that will include multiple collections of color cosmetics that will launch later this year. WWD reports that, “The first product to launch will be RiRi Woo, a lipstick inspired by her favorite MAC red, Ruby Woo. Its release will coincide with Rihanna’s Diamonds Tour concerts on May 4 and 5 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where MAC will open a pop-up shop on the first night to showcase the line.” 

 I don’t know about you, but Ruby Woo is my absolute favorite lipstick color from MAC. I cannot wait to see what RiRi Woo will look like. Lucky for me I will be at her concert at the Barclays Center in May to purchase it!!! Would you rock RiRi {hearts} MAC?

REVIEW: Ouidad Nourishing Cleansing Oil & Whipped Curls Daily Conditioner

Curl Recovery Cleansing Oil Product Claims :

Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Oil is a foaming, water-activated cleanser with an advanced oil base that gently removes dirt and build-up while restoring essential moisture. Our proprietary CR-4 Repair Complex™ – including nutrient-rich Mafura Butter and Kalahari Melon Seed Oil – envelopes the hair shaft with a cushion-like coating of concentrated fatty acids that are vital to rebuilding, nourishing and protecting hair in need of repair. Silk proteins and coconut oils bind to the cuticle to sustain hydration and resist damage while enhancing body and shine.
SULFATE-FREE & PARABEN-FREE.

Whipped Curls Product Claims :

Whipped Curls is a thick, dense daily conditioner that's so luxurious it delights at first touch. Its rich, sensorial texture glides on hair and envelopes curls in deeply hydrating nutrients to elevate the moisture factor within the hair cuticle. Our triple Olive Oil blend combined with Shea Butter and Glycerin deeply moisturize, nourish and strengthen curls while smoothing frizz and enhancing shine. As a “styling primer,” its lavish, silky formula creates the perfect canvas by re-establishing your natural curl pattern for easy styling with any gel or cream. Green Tea Extract provides antioxidant and environmental protection to maintain luscious, healthy-looking, head-turning curls all day long. This dual-purpose formula is great for all curls, especially those experiencing dryness, frizz and breakage

Final Results

Whipped Conditioner was awesome with a capital A! I was very surprised at how thick and smooth the conditioner actually was. I must admit, I haven't seen a conditioner as thick as this one in a while. A little goes a LONG way with this conditioner. If used the right way, it can last you several months. I sectioned my hair off and applied a dollop to each section and finger detangled. The conditioner assisted in the detangling process and my knots melted away. I hate having to comb through my hair after applying conditioner and this allowed me to not have to go through that process. I simply applied, finger detangled and rinsed with cold water. I think it's going to come in very handy for me in the hot summer months as this is a daily conditioner and styling primer (you can even use it as a leave in!) 

Whipped Conditioner almost looks edible

The Cleansing Oil Shampoo got my hair squeaky clean after the first application. I truly put this shampoo to the test, as my hair had not been washed in a week and I had my hair in bun that entire week. Plenty of product buildup and this shampoo gently cleansed my hair and left it feeling completely moisturized. My curls were vibrant and ready to be conditioned. I don't shampoo often and I actually love Ouidad's co-wash conditioner for that reason, but this shampoo is that little bit of extra cleanse that you need. Again, a little goes a long way. I used about a quarter sized amount on each section of my hair (4 sections). This product is worth the $25 investment if you're looking for a staple shampoo to incorporate into your wash regimen.

REVAMP YOUR NATURAL HAIR STAPLE PRODUCTS!

Just because she is the Queen of the world. #swerve

How easy is it to get comfortable with our tried and true staple natural hair products? I know for me, this rings true! I constantly have to remind myself to try something new. 

I was upon a time a product junkie and now I stick to my top 5 products and keep it moving. If it works don't fix it right? WRONG! 

I have to remind myself all the time that the fun part of being natural is to freshen up your regimen pretty much whenever you feel like it. So, I've done some research and compiled a GREAT list of products from shampoo's to stylers that are great candidates to add to your list of staples. 

When looking to revamp your staple products, I like to consider three main products that can be changed easily. First think about your shampoo, next your conditioner and lastly your styler. All three things that could really change up your hair for the better. 

Shampoo's--Dry hair, tons of friz & breakage? Try these!

-Hair Rules No Suds Daily Cleaner 

-Aubrey Organics Balancing Shampoo

-DevaCurl Low Poo 

Conditioners

-Ouidad Curl Co-Wash

-Spiral Solutions Deeply Decadent Moisturizing Treatment

-SheaMoisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Hair Masque

Stylers

-Jane Carter Solution Wrap & Roll

-DevaCurl Ultra Defining

-Ouidad Moisture Lock Define & Shine Curl Styling Gel-Creamg Gel

With these new products your hair will feel rejuvenated, defined and most importantly healthy! 

I have tried the majority of these products but some are new and definitely could be potential staples! 

Let me know if you've tried any of these samples and if they are potential staples for you! 

TAKE A CHANCE & GO FOR IT. 
CHANGE YOUR STAPLES.
