Now that we are nearing the end of the Spring 2016 semester, I am looking for a new academic planner. I rely heavily on a planner to keep my assignments and blogging schedule on track. This past year I used a Bloom Daily which I loved! I included a new design from Bloom below. I also included fun, colorful pens which help keep everything color-coded. Happy scheduling!

Cocotique is the beauty subscription box for women of color. Each month the boxes contain 5-7 samples size and full size products that vary from makeup, skincare, haircare and nail products. The boxes are curated by a special theme pertaining to the month. 

April's Cocotique box was a nicely curated mixture of products. Not too many of one type of product, my favorite. You can see my unboxing and my honest reactions in the video below! 

You Be Natural Botanical Smoothing & Defrizzing Creme ($8.98):

This hair creme is versatile enough to be used as a leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, and hair smoother. Smells nice, but I will be passing this on to my sister who is transitioning. This is a 1 oz sample.

Makari Skin Repairing Clarifying Serum ($52.45):

I'm excited to use this product. Its used for evening out dark marks and scars. This is a sample size.

Naked Beaute Adore Shea Body Butter ($15):

This is a product that I use overnight after showering. It has an amazing scent and it leaves my skin so smooth. This is a sample size at 2 oz.

Ginger & Liz Nail Polish ($12):

This is a really fun shade of nail polish and you might get a different color in your box!
