Amazing for darks spots and giving a beautiful glow

I got the mini caudalie serum at sephora . It was with those bday minis in the front with the cashiers. I used 125 points to get it. I wish they would actually sell this! It’s perfect for travel!

✨MY CERAVE REVIEW:

The CeraVe conditioner has a creamy yet lightweight consistency that made my cap slide right off! My hair felt soft afterward. I’d rate it a 7/10

The shampoo is thin and almost watery but lathers up nicely. A little goes a long way, and it did a great job cleansing all my dandruff buildup. It didn’t leave my hair feeling too stripped which is good. I’d rate it a 7/10

Overall, the CeraVe products helped remove my dandruff and I feel it’s great for that! However I feel it didn’t prevent it from coming back as long as I would’ve hoped. I usually start flaking shortly after cleaning my hair if I don’t apply Sulfur 8 right away, so this is normal for me—but I was hoping the wash and conditioner would help prolong the results. I still would recommend these products for removal of dandruff💙

✨MY PONYTAIL

The ponytail I’m wearing is the Afro kinky curly ponytail in 22 inches

The neatbraid edge control was a bit hard to work with in terms to smoothing it’s out with a comb for a sleek look. When it settled the next day it looked even more beautiful and natural with the pony (not super shiny but moisturized). However I found that it doesn’t last long because it doesn’t create a hard like cast. It keeps the texture of an edge control. I will use the gummy gel next time. I love using neat braid for blending my natural hair leave out with a sew in/ quickweave 💕

Hey babes want to let yall know that brow lamination kit worked great for tinting my brows but not so much for laminating when i tried it. I used the elf brow gel to get the laminated look. I would recommend trying a different full kit with tint and lamination or just a tint product and the elf laminating gel. The plastic wrap was not included in the kit. I purchased that separately. I linked it below.

Latte makeup 🤎🥮✨ all the products linked below should pull up the exact shade I’m using.

🥗INGREDIENTS USED:🥗
Romaine lettuce
Cucumber
Tomato
Avocado
Atlantic salmon from sprouts (the most delicious salmon!)
Adobo seasoning
Badia Jerk seasoning Jamaican style
French dressing

‼️I don’t recommend using salmon on the chopper because some of it got stuck to the top part and was hard to clean so it’s best to cut that regularly before adding to salad 💕

~ PU LEATHER CHAIR ~

Pros
-very comfy with a more softer feel
-wide enough to cross cross in
-has wheels
-sturdy
-decent back support
- easier to clean

Cons (for me)
-the color is grey beige when it looks more cream beige online
-the back of the chair looks boring and doesn’t wow me when i walk in

~ FLEECE CHAIR ~

Pros
- unique design
- wide to criss cross in

Cons
- material is harder to clean
- no wheels
- more firm than soft like a blanket
- no back support due to curved back design

I ultimately decided to keep the pu leather chair because it’s more practical but I’m honestly bummed the fleece chair wasn’t soft and had better back support because i was rooting for that one!! I could’ve threw a blanket over it to help keep it clean for longer. And i can live without wheels 😅
