100 Plus Followers + Graduation!

Guess who's back...back again...

Rae's back, tell a friend :)

Well I'm not gonna lie to you guys & say "OMG I never thought I'd get so many followers" blah blah blah, cuz honestly I did think I would get at least 100 in due time. I mean c'mon now, I don't suck THAT much to not get at least 100 do I??? BUT - what I did NOT think is that you guys would still support me, cuz I really suck at updating my blog. Don't trip just yet, school's out..I'm a high school graduate, & I should have PLENTY of time to update you all now. Yaaaaay! :)

THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY FOLLOWERS/SUPPORTERS!

PICTURES...YADA YADA YADA YAH.





I 'sho do love my momma :)





No, this is not my man. More like family if anything, sheesh.





There's a couple more here, and I'm sure the album will grow within the next few days. Even though I'm sick, I need more cap & gown pictures boo.

To celebrate my reaching of 100 followers, what should I do? Cuz I really don't know. I'll be purchasing a webcam soon, so should I make some type of Youtube video? The possibilities are kinda endless.

P.S. I have a nasty lil' virus or something right now..so I'll be chilling at home for a minute. Perfect time to re-vamp this site, don't you think? ;)

mahogany queen's honey coconut shea

This product was actually sent to me from one of my followers (Ms. Ashley) a loooong time ago. The day I left to go on vacation actually, so it's pretty overdue. Sooooo, here's the "What It Does" review that was sent w/ the product:

Mahogany Queen's Honey Coconut Shea

is a cream made specifically to moisturize natural hair before & during styling. Also pairs nicely w/ gels to help lock in moisture. Apply liberally to wet air after a shampoo or co-wash. This cream can also be used on your skin. A little bit can really go a long way.

Ingredients:

* Shea
* Coconut Oil
* Coconut Cream
* Honey
* Avocado Oil
* Almond Oil
* Jojoba Oil
* Apricot Kernel Oil
* Extra Virgin Olive Oil
* Essential Oil Fragrance

Here's MY Review:
I liked this product for the simple fact that it did moisturize my hair for quite some time & even protected it from heat styling tools. I use my flat iron every day so I definitely need heat protection. It also leaves hair feeling soft & very shiny. Honestly, my only complaint so far is that I'm not too sure about the smell of this product. It smells like honey & lemons at first, which isn't too bad. Then after I used my flat iron, I began to smell this funky scent of old french fries. Don't be too discouraged, because neither scent lasted very long. Maybe it's just me *shrugs*



THE CONTAINER MAKES ME SO HAPPY. I'M GONNA KEEP IT FOREVER & EVER :)

Score:
3/5
Keep in mind that I haven't used this on wet hair, gel, or my skin yet. So it's still a great score!

BIG THANK YOU & WAY TO GO TO MAHOGANY-QUEEN.COM!

charlotte russe and MAC MSF

So today was really just one of those days where everyone was getting on my last nerves. So what did I do to gain some relief? Went shopping w/ my mommy :) *sigh* I love you mommy & you too, retail therapy!

I was walking past Charlotte Russe (my absolute favorite) & what did I see? PIIIINNNNK! It was EVERYWHERE, I was so excited! Yeeeaaahhh, somebody was goin' HAM up in Charlotte Russe!

LOOKIE, LOOKIE! AND ANYONE WHO SHOPS W/ ME KNOWS I LOVE ME A SALE/CLEARANCE RACK. DON'T PLAY.








This is my VERY FIRST Mineralize Skin Finish product from MAC. I tested out a color that's darker than this color pictures (Medium/Dark) in the MAC store. I instantly fell in love! It gives a radiant, subtle glow & doesn't look cakey at all. Perfect for senior pictures, which I still have YET to take =/ Get it together, Rae.

Happy Late Valentine's Day.

Hey everyone - I'd have to say that this Valentine's Day weekend was pretty sweet for the most part! No, I didn't have a 'special Valentine', nor did I want one....

Okay, I did but people play too much so I said EFF IT lol.

This look was inspired by MakeupByTiffanyD on YouTube.

*OOH, OWL EYES! =0



The look itself was beautiful when I first did it, but these pics were taken after wind blowing, snow, & laughter. I'd say my makeup held up pretty well, but I wasn't going to retouch everything so it had no choice but to. So, my second pic sucks, which is actually okay cause it makes me wanna do better next time around!
