H&M: OOTN

H&M black dress (S)

A couple blogposts ago, I described my recent purchases from H&M. One of the items, I bought was a small black dress with lace on the sides. It was only $10! I love how you can find such steals at H&M. Well, this summer me and my girls went out to celebrate Ray's birthday and I decided to rock it! I paired it with my nude Jessica Simpson heels and a hot pink bracelet. 
What do you guys think of my OOTN (outfit of the night)?!

Dorco USA Razors: Shai Double 3-Blade System for Women

A couple months ago, Dorco USA asked me to review one of their products. I was happy to do it and honored that they asked. This is a 6 blade razor with a moisturizing strip, pivoting head, non-slip grip and fantastic price retailing at only $5.95. Before this razor, I had been using my Gillette Venus razor for the last 2-3 years and have LOVED it. BUT, this razor has certainly taken my heart now. It offers more, retails for less and yields fantastic results! Check out my review below!

CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste

Ok, It's my turn! I completely concur that CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste is AMAZING not to mention it smells great! But since I'm a naturalista, I have a different take on its amazingness! First and foremost, I love its versatility because not only will it lay down your edges but it will also define your natural kinks, curls, & coils! I love the consistency of the paste, it is NOT sticky or pasty which is critical when applying a control paste and it does not flake. This paste also adds shine to your hair without it appearing greasy. Also, this product will last a long time because you do not need much to achieve the look you want whether it's a natural top bun or a twist-out! I definitely recommend all my naturals girls out there to try CURLS curl control paste! You can find this product at your local Target, it is only $7.99!  Let me know what you think!

The Best Edge Control Product I've Used

For the last year or so, I have been rocking the top bun like nobody's business! It's the quickest, easiest, lowest maintenance style I know and it looks cute! One key component of the perfect top bun is slick edges. I have used several different types of gels and hairspray and they either don't hold enough, produce flaky residue or don't do the job at all. BUT, I have come across this AMAZING product that I am ABSOLUTELY loving!!!!! It's called Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste Sculpting Shine Pomade. It's important to note that I have relaxed hair, so I can't speak to how well it works on curls. However, it works wonders on smoothing my edges, maintaining a soft, yet strong hold, and leaves no flaky residue behind. I have been using this product almost everyday for the last month! Even if I'm not wearing an up-do, it's great for slicking down your edges when wearing your hair down too. I've been raving about this product for weeks to my friends and just had to let ya'll in on it. This product can be found at Target, Walmart and Sally's and retails for about $8 bucks. It's worth taking the time to go and snatch up this awesome product! You won't be sorry. :)  How does this product work on natural hair? Stay tuned this week for Rin's perspective. What's your go-to styling product?
