I use this for conditioning hair treatments, roller sets and wraps. I love the fact that mine & my daugthers' hair can dry quickly without neck searing heat.
Mega Care Tea Tree Oil (Manufactured in Patterson NJ, by Sunflower Cosmetics)
Natural antibacterial oil with extra protection for your hair and body.
DIRECTIONS: - Use for skin irritation and oily skin. - Prevents itchy, dry scalp. - Anti- dandruff and antifungal. - Use as a massage oil or while in sauna.
HOW I USE IT - My scalp tends to be super dry. This treatment helps me to exfoliate dead skin cells from my scalp. I use it as a pre-poo treatment before washing my hair. My scalp absorbs it. My hair LOVES it! - I also use this on my tween daughters' scalp after a shampoo. It keeps them from suffering from itchy scalp and flakes. - It has a pleasant scent that reminds me of my childhood. - This is very affordable. I pick it up for $1.00 from a Mom & Pop dollar store in my area. I have seen it at local beauty supply stores for $1.99.

MY THOUGHTS This is an oldie but a goodie! If you ever have scaly chapped lips, just using a little of this will help them to peel within minutes. The cinnamon oil has a plumping effect. Overall, this is my favorite conditioning lip treatment. I believe these are on sale right now at Bath & Body Works (Buy 2 Get 1 Free)
MAC Ripe Peach Blush Ombre
A powder blush featuring a shade wave of gentle ombre hues. Ultra-fine formula provides the cheeks with flawless, medium-buildable coverage and lightly pearled, natural-looking radiance. Limited edition.
MY THOUGHTS Initially when I got this blush, I was surprized by the size. It is 9grams vs. a normal sized MAC blush at 6grams. I didn't think the lighter portion did anything for my complexion (MAC NC45). I had to play with it a few days before I decided that I loved it. I was not prepared for all of the "male attention" I received when I went outof doors wearing this blush. (I'm pretty sure that's a CON for me.) I stacked paired it with L'Oreal Hip ENAMOURED cream blush as a base. I used NARS Taj Mahal on the apples of my cheeks. The overall effect was that the blush imparted a youthful glow. LOVE THIS product!
New Born Free FREYA
- Synthetic Full Cap Wig Special thanks to April (muffinismylovers) from YouTube for putting the spotlight on this wig. I call her my Niecy Nash wig. She doesn't tangle like some of my other synthetic pieces. She is not as heavy or dense. Manufacture/Wigsite Photo shows her worn with part in center. Like April, I prefer my part on the side. It means the eartabs are off kilter, but oh well. She only has adjustable straps, so I use bobby pins to make sure she's secure.
