Hello there

So it's definitely been awhile since my last post. Most of it I have been working with the exception of last week. Had 5 days off which threw me for a bit of a loop.
At any rate I have done some shopping and wanted to show off my more prominent gets. One week I spent quite a bit on neccessites which took a toll on my funds. However I do love my new sheets. I There are a few things I forgot to take pictures of like, my new lip products ( not all of them are lipsticks) and my new lenese which have yet to be worn. I had meant to try them out over the weekend but rushing and unpreparedness is probably my weekness right now. ORZ. Still have had little social time despite how much time I've had off. Kinda sucks, but this has been my reality as of late. Still have yet to do some school shopping too. Or even think of what kind of outfit I wan to wear for my first day of class. My mind have been riddled with ideas. I want to attempt to make my own mukluks from a pair of old boots. Now on to the
gets.

 

Ginger Honey and this awesome candle holder. Crystal Skull. Who's got it now Indaian Jones ( I am dork and sadly that is the only Indiana Jones  movie I have seen ._______. )

 A witch can never have too many bottles. I am gonna decorate them and then fill them with special things. I think some protection oils are in order. Seriously though it's an addiction.

New hair and face products. Hair products from left to right. Chi Keratin Mist, some argon oil and John Frieda frizz-ease. To continue on. I went to Ulta...and I need to go back for the nyx stuffs and various other items. But that's the concealer. then I have some H2O eye serum and Yes to Carrots face moisturizer. SPF 15. Good for the face. I have yet to try out my concealer but I love everything else. Then those are 3 pair of my reading glasses. I have quite a few squarish frames. Looking to get more maybe some round ones, and def more colors.

 I've not owned flats in some time. While I could stand to get a more neutral pair. I absolutely love them. They're cute. I had to get a size up from what I typically wear since my feet are a little wide >____> but they're comfy and that's all that matters right now.

  

My birthday was some time ago, and my mama got a book on dressmaking. It's very helpful and I've become less err stubborn in the process which can me one thing. 

 I get patterns when they go on sale at my Job. The first and seconds ones are current project. To be more specific on the first butterick pattern I'm doing the white top, and on the pattern in the middle I' doing the red dress ( first one on the bottom) The second butterick pattern will be what I'm doing after the first two are done. The second blue dress to be exact. And I'm making 3 of them, In different colors....for me XD. I don't really have the confidence to make clothes for anyone else outside of skirts and elastic waist pants....maybe some knit tops, fitted anyway.

 There's about 20 patterns in that drawer.....I don't think I have a problem >>....I can't wait to get my hands on some of the halloween patterns though. They dresses are so lovely. I'm thinking I may get some accessories patterns as well. I saw some cute belt bags ( I don't know if this is the right term, but some steam punk stuff is too fucking expensive so making my own would be cool and fun.

Of course the grand piece. My own Hookah. Looks like a second person could indulge with me, but for right now, it'll be me and a good day off. I got mint tobacco to go with it, though I've plenty of other herbs I could use. It's not really big either. Maybe 10 inches in height, though it's just a guesstimate right now. Looking forward to this weekend. 

I've also gotten a second cactus. I'll have pictures of them next time, but I've got like a neon pink one and a blood red one. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. 

That's all for the time being. Hoping one day soon to have more social time and hopefully pictures will be included ( I never have anything planned so I'm almost never ready ; A; )  I'll also be sure to post my projects when they're finished ^____^

Review: One 'n Only Argan Oil Hydrating Mask

So last week I tried the Argan oil hydrating hair mask. It was a small sample that I picked up from a local beauty supply store. Now considering that I don't have as much hair anymore since shaving my head down. Undercut an all. This was pretty okay. Excuse my non-made up face and wild hair to come.

This is the packet. It's small. First impressions. I didn't think it would be enough for the amount of hair that I had. Should've done some size comparison shots. But it's a little bigger than my hand. 

Pre-shower hair. Top half is kinda oily. Lower half, mostly ends  dry.
My always dry out first.  Sure my hair would be a lot bigger if it weren't for my undercut ^^;; 

You can kinda see the dryness. 

After shower pre-mask. Sorry for the. Fogginess. Shower steam still swirling. 

Texture shot. 

So I read the directions, a couple times. And didn't follow the  5-10 minute rule. Now let me say this. It smells so nice.
Like it smells like...a really good cologne. And the smell lasts a while on the hair. I mean it's been a week since I used it.  Only when someone is close ( actually sniffing my hair ) will you notice it. But it is really pleasant.

 I didn't get any shots of the product in my hair or the contents in the package. It's white and looks like conditioner. And I had just enough for my hair.

After shots below. I notice there is less frizz happening than my hair normally has after a wash.

 Now before I put in my regular hair oils in, which is to seal in moisture. My hair felt very clean and soft. However I don't know long how long the hydration is supposed to last. Now this may just be me and my particular hair. But if I don't oil my hair shortly after a hair it will start to dry out.  I keep my hair in braids on a day to day when I'm not leaving the house. I will say my hair doesn't feel nearly as oily as it usually does, which is a plus. The top part near my scalp has the least amount of product, oiling wise, but it doesn't feel nearly as dried out, especially since my scarf never stays on at night .___.;.

Final Review:
Price:  9/10
Only because I know there are other sample size products for hair that cost less. But this is Argan oil so it's not cheap

Hydration: 10/10.
I used very little product near my scalp and roots, but the hair still feels nice even a week later.

Packaging: 8/10.
This is being sold in a local beauty supply store where 98% of the customers are Black. While I understand it's a sample size, I think they don't take into account the differences in length or thickness each woman's hair is. Even with my current hair workings, My hair is thick and a little more would have definitely been ideal.

Overall: 9/10
Just two minor things really, but I'd highly recommend this, and in the near future plan to try out more Argan oil products. And would buy this mask again.
