I love hair. I love long hair, short hair, red hair, blue hair. Simply put I love hair. My love affair with hair didn’t start until I was in the 9th grade. That’s when my mother let me try full weaves for the very first time. Before then I was the braid queen. The closest thing I came to a weave was cornrows in the front and short sew in weave in the back. I didn’t know anything about a true weave but that they looked glamorous. Back then my idol was Beyonce and she was coming out of her braid phase into her weave phase and I wanted to be just like her with the flowing wavy hair down my back… however, I was in the 9th grade so all that extra 22 inch red carpet glam wasn’t going down in my mothers book. I settled for just the normal weave. I had some 14 inch tracks sewn in with my natural hair pulled back and I loved it!

Since that day I am what is known as a “weaveologist”. If I have to take the subway I occupy my time by spotting the females with horrible weave abominations. Its become somewhat of a sport to me, even getting my friends and my boyfriend into the action. If I was a mean girl I would have taken pics on my phone cam but I’m not that bad! However, I will share with you 8 of my biggest hair weave abominations. Read the rest of this entry »

Mac has pushed up the release date of March’s most prized and talked about collection “Heatherette” from March 27th to March 20th.

Honestly, at first when the Heatherette collection was nothing more then a mere rumor I was exited. I mean, the speculated all pink packaging, the trashy-glam style of the Heatherette clothing line, everything about that screamed “Aaaalllyyyssooonnnnn”. However, for some reason now you couldn’t get me exited about it if Will Smith was at the release party naked serving chips and dip (alright, so maybe that MIGHT get me going, but as we know that’s not going to happen…). There is something to be said about a collection who’s lip products and eyeshadows come off as bland to me. Usually, those are the core products in a Mac cosmetics collection. Everything is centered around the lippies and the shadows, if those don’t strike me good then everything else is a waste. All of Heatherette’s shadows are a waste to me because I already own similar colors. I Just cant get into the shades of the lippies being suitable for WOC (except the brightest fuschia/pink ones). Now, this could be just me talking from seeing images and NOT playing with the collection yet, or it could be because I spent over $300 on my Fafi haul and I wasn’t too crazy about all the things In that collection either (but I love Fafi so I couldn’t help myself). Honestly, though the colors aren’t all that I wanted, I wish that you could just buy the shadow trio without the shadows and put your own in there. Its just so pretty. Im going to have a real hard time passing it up. If I do end up getting one im getting #2.

Now, with that all said about the main staples of the collection…. there are some things that I just can’t see myself passing up. Ok, so I may have gave you the impression that heatherette was going to suck major booty (and hey it might) but every booty suckin’ collection has its rare gems.

I’ve had my eyes on the duel sided eye pencils for some time now. Since I was in uber lust with the soft sparkle eye pencils from the 2007 holiday line these look like they are right up my ally. At $16.00 each I think I’ll curb my appetite to just two pencils, but which ones? Oh, and to give you guys a heads up, it looks like the pencils are not waterline safe, though that’s just the rummer now. (Your waterline is the part of your lid closest to your eyeball. It usually stays moist from your natural tears so sometimes its hard to get color there anyway without it smudging)

I’m also going to get the pigments and maybe one or both of the glitters. All of the pigments and glitters are re promotes from the pro line (except Jardin Aires, that was from Strange Hybrid) but since I don’t have any of them now is a good time to help my collection (as if my collection needs anymore help).

The last and only other thing that I MAY spring for in this collection are the new lashes. “She’s Bad” is a mid length crosshatch kinda false lash. “She’s Good” looks to me like Mac #7 lashes, but since I don’t have a pair of #7’s I may just scoop these up.
