Thank you @KenyaDoll

I'll kick this thread off by saying

works amazing as a moisturizer and makes the twist and braid outs come out like

smells good, spreads even, and I even use it as a detangler once a week is all I need

for my deep conditioning (although I use their sulfate free shampoo) once a month

And my new found love Kurly Klips blends in so well with my 4b/4c mix hair

 

[Raava]

I'm on this

the Shampoo, the leave-in, and the masque. I washed my hair yesterday it feels lovey

Has anyone tried their make-up yet? @Elle Driver did you try it?

$23.00 on Amazon. Best eyeliner I've EVER used. My goodness. Stays on forever and only comes off with makeup remover. It's a pen so you have really good control (perfect for those with shaky hands) and get precise lines but still really, really bold. If you really want to go even darker, go over it with some Mac Fluidline (or the Wet & Wild dupe which I like but the pot dries out kind of fast)

This has been my go to eyeshadow palette

28.00 on Amazon. It's got pretty much all I need. I'm not huge on using different eyeshadow colors for everyday so I stick to the bottom right palette the most. It's got a whole bunch of glittery shadows and matte too. I have realized tho that I like the wet, shimmery look and it's a bit hard to get that with these eyeshadows so I've been looking at Wet N' Wild palettes and they pretty much look perfect for the look I want to achieve. It's these.

Don't seem to have too much glitter and just enough pop. Gonna try and cop some of these later this week.

Best primer ever ($7). Does the job. Eyeshadow will last all day and look more vibrant.

I mix and match drugstore & higher brands. I love makeup but I'm not the type to spend $50 on an eyeshadow palette or $25 on a primer when I know I can find just as good for cheaper. I don't skimp on foundation tho (I use MUFE HD 173) but I also barely use it. I also love Chanel lipglosses but I'm more of a lipstick person (Revlon's matte ones are my favorite).

Yeah I did, their CC creams and foundations are A plus.

Non-toxic, vegan, 100% natural ingredients. They have pretty good palettes too.

I'm going to try it, everytime I have gone to target they have been out. I'm going to order online.

I went to target and went on a shopping spree.

 

[Raava]

I went to target and went on a shopping spree.

Going shopping right now I need it.

 

[Matt504]

i apply this for 10 minutes, and then rinse and pat dry, works miracles.

Edit: is this section women only?

Nope, men are welcomed

I picked up shea moisture african black soap up about 5 or 6 months ago. And my eczema has been going nuts on me. Even after I stopped using it. I'm not sure if it's the soap or the water but I noticed it when I used their black soap line

Eczema is a bytch

 

[KinksandCoils]

prior to using these products how was your eczema?

I've had eczema all my life but it's not to where it's consistant. As soon as I get out the damn shower I itch like a muthafukka I only used the product for a short time that's why I'm not even sure if I developed some sort of sensitivity to something but all I know is it started when I used it.
