Review for CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Mascara








Today I am reviewing the new CoverGirl Exact Eyelights mascara which I'm so excited to be doing because I love CoverGirl products especially their mascara. As you will learn I am obesessed with eye makeup, most importantly mascara which I never leave home without. I have been using this mascara for about a month now. It comes with the promise to brighten your eyes by using a special color tint and light reflecting pigments specifically targeted towards your unique eye color. Of course as always because it is apart of the covergirl lash exact line it comes with the special no clump brush, which I personally love. The colors are as follows

For Brown Eyes-Black Pearl


For Blue Eyes- Black Sapphire


For Green Eyes-Black Ruby


For Hazel Eyes-Black Gold
Because my eyes are brown I use black pearl (shown above). As soon as I applied it I could quickly compare it to other mascaras that I've used in the past, the light reflecting pigments really do the trick. You can tell that your eyes look brighter as compared to the just plain black or boring brown basic mascaras which sometimes give you a racoon look. This mascara actually makes you look more "wide eyed" and awake, so its perfect for those of you who are in a rush and need an extra pick me to look like you got your recommended eight hours, which we obviously dont get but need to. The no clump brush is a great bonus. All in all I would definately recommend this product to all you mascara and makeup lovers because it really does work, one of the few products that does what it says it will.
Be Blessed!!
**AJ tip- To really make your eyes pop apply the mascara to your lower lashes too

The Only relaxer I use!!!!

Dark and Lovely relaxer in regular is the only relaxer I use. Give It a try if you are new to relaxing from having gone natural and are ready to make that leap back to chemical processing, its gentle and gets the job done. Just listen to my girl Kelly



As always comments. What types of relaxers are yall using or is natural really the way to go?

Where are our Black Women in the media?



Hey Yall! Today I was thinking, as I was in walmart looking at all the magazines like People and US weekly, where are the black women? Is it wrong for me to want to open a magazine like the ones previously mentioned and find a snapshot of a Gabrielle Union or a Jada Pinkett Smith coming out of a grocery store looking normal or possibly fabulous. I guess I just want for the media to acknowlegde that our black female celebrities are important too. Why shouldn't they be followed like everyone else.Lol! I dont know thats my beef, what are your comments..agree disagreee?


Be Blessed
