So this is my final hair tutorial (for now) in my Hair Tutorial Series. I did this fun curly style for you all who wanted to see something other than my usually straight hair. I used a half inch curling wand from Red by Kiss. All that I used will definitely be down below. I hope you all enjoy this really fun tutorial.

Something that has really had a huge impact on my makeup collection has been highlighters. I have so many in my collection! I recently purchased the E.l.f Gotta Glow "Blush". The reason being, I have always wanted to try out the Nars Albatross Highlighter, but I just bear paying $30 for one product. So I got the most talked about dupe on the market. The E.l.f Gotta Glow Blush is $3 from the E.l.f Studio line. So with haveing tried out this product a couple of times lets see what I think of it. 

In my second hair tutorial, I will be showing you all how to create this fun sock bun and bangs hair style. This is a look that I would wear on a gym day,or a bad hair day. I hope you all enjoy this one. My third and last hair tutorial will go up next week and I think you all are going to like it!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I have created a Keek for my daily vlogs. I've always wanted to put up vlogs on my Youtube channel but I don't have the means to film them. As some of you know, I I film all of my videos with my iPhone because I cant afford a proper camera at the moment. So to share with you guys my daily adventures, I made a Keek. I love using Keek to keep up with my favorite celelbs and fellow beauty gurus! 

 If you are interested in watching my vlogs, then you create a free account with keek by download their app. My Keek username is "MariamRenee". Make sure to subscribe to my Keeks to always be in the know when I put up a new video! Thanks guys!

Continuing my partial coverage on E.l.f's new essential line makeup, I picked up the new Flawless Eyeshadow Palette. This palette comes in 7 different shades, and I picked up the shade "Golden Goddess". I picked this specific palette because I saw it as a great fall palette with all it's bronze shades. This palette retails for $2 on the E.l.f Cosmetics website. Let's see what I think about this eyeshadow palette. 

Today is my first day of my "Hair Tutorial" series. Over the course of the next 4 weeks I will be uploading new hair tutorials every week. I will be doing many tutorials mainly based on relaxed hair! I hate that there aren't many tutorials online for us textured girls! This week I started off with a simple flat iron tutorial. If you all here on my blog didn't know, I cut my bangs about a week ago and I'm excited to learn with you all on how to style them. I hope you all enjoy this tutorial and I hope you stick around for the rest of my hair tutorials!

Another one of E.l.f's new line of makeup is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick. Now if you are the least bit into makeup & beauty, these might look a little familiar. NYX carries a similar jumbo eyeshadow pencil that works really well and coms in a variety of shades. This eyeshadow stick by E.l.f comes in 10 shades, ranging from nudes to deep night-time shades. I only purchased one shade "Turkish Coffee" because of the very poor selection at Kmart. This product retails for $2 and can be found at E.l.f's website and drugstores near you. So let's see what I think about this Eyeshadow Stick!

Hey everyone! I thought it was time for me to do a new foundation routine as I haven't done one in a while. In the video below I show how I do my foundation, concealer, blush and highlight. Sorry! No eye makeup or lips in this video! This is what I do when I'm going to a party, or a special event. This is a little too heavy for everyday, like when I'm in school. I hope you all enjoy the video!
