BEAUTY/MAKEUP MUST-HAVE : RUBY WOO LIPSTICK BY MAC

   Ruby Woo by MAC cosmetics is one of the few lipstick in a shade of red that looks good on all skin tone.

ORI (UNPROCESSED RAW SHEABUTTER) VERY GOOD FOR NATURAL HAIR

   Sheabutter is a plant fat extracted from the African Shea Tree which is found mostly in West Africa. It is commonly called 'Ori'. It is a very good remedy for natural hair. Grooming our typical kinky natural hair can be a task for some of us and finding the best ingredients and products to take care of natural African textured hair may not come easy. The predominant products out there were basically made for non-kinky hair types. There are lots of ladies who are going natural and most do no want to apply chemical product like relaxers to make their easier to work with. That is why is always recommend you go for organic and non processed ingredients if you you trying to groom your natural hair.    I have been using natural unprocessed raw sheabutter on my natural  hair for about 5 years consistently and I discovered that ori (raw shea butter) helps to thicken and give more volume to the hair.
