Story of my hair...

Going on 30 years with this head of hair, and I'm asking myself, is it time for change or keep it looking the way it is?




 Here are a few photos of my hair in the last 29 years. 



I believe I was less then a year old here, but had super 
dark hair and lots of it I think.

4 years old or so, I always had to have it
combed and didn't like bows or pony tails
either, haha! I always had to go loose with it
from what my parents tell me. 


OMG, so if you guys came from my old blogspot, you might have see this
picture already. The first was from high school, had it super curly, tight like a
perm. Lots of hairspray no color yet. After I graduated my phases began, still curly but 
lots of color. The last photo was me going back in 2004 to black like I had before I messed it up. 

NOW...


I get comments like " your hair is like Kim Kardashian" or "do you have extensions?" I never copied her nor ever have had extensions, all natural! I've had dark hair and started curling it like I do before she even came into the spotlight.
I will admit I love her style and I think its a great compliment because she has beautiful hair!

These are pictures I have taken in the last couple years.

I think dark hair is attractive and extotic! To change my hair color will
take alot and a special person to change my mind, but so far nobody. I didn't like it in the past and may never like my hair another color again. Don't think I can ever go short either. I'm happy with what I have. If I can pull off having very black hair, I intend to keep it! Its definitely a feature that attracted my loving boyfriend! ;-)

What I use
Superstar Professional 1" falt iron. Have been using it for 6 years now and no other.


Today
I purchased a curling iron for the first time. I have always used my flat iron to straighten and curl my hair.

Conair tourmaline ceramic curling iron 1 1/4 . I want to try something new with my curls.



Let me know what you think and what has been your favorite hair color or style, and who have you been compared too!

My top 12 favorite websites

Every day either in the morning or when I come home from work or day off, I get on my computer and and hit one button to get to my favorite websites I have bookmarked, "Top Sites" in Safari on my Mac. It either keeps track of history, or you customize it to what you want it to look like. I though I take a picture and show you the websites that my computer has and share the links with you.

New Sigma's this month!

Can't say enough how much I love Sigma Brushes! I bought some about 2 months ago, Sigma Sigmax brushes, and love those so much and have been holding up every single day. This time I wanted to buy 2 new ones, one for my makeup bag to travel with and a blush brush for my new Tarte Amazonian clay blush (in Blissful) and Nars blushes ( Orgasm & Gilda). They are very pigmented so need a good brush to handle them. 

My cute red bag it came in!


Something about Marilyn, just noticed the website is sold out of this 

Something about Marilyn Kabuki in Red, I wanted to get the Breakfast 
with Audrey in black but the red really got me! My blush brush, so soft, truly
in love!

Sephora Beauty Insider Chic Week



Did some major shopping at Sephora yesterday and today. I've been a beauty insider for about 3 years now and love getting the samples and points. Best of all these type of events! It's the only time you get a discount there.

I bought with a purpose, the weather! I do not plan on wearing foundation or power on my face on the crazy hot days in the next few months, but I still want to look natural with some color! Im focusing on my skin and especially around my eyes. 



 

I used the tinted moisturizer and the Tarte blush today and both still look fresh on my face! I used the Flowerbomb perfume and enjoyed the smell on me all day too!
