As a blogger, I am most often asked a lot of different questions. Usually about my hair. What products do I use? How do I care for it? I'm also asked about the kind of makeup I wear on an everyday basis. So, I thought I would dedicate this post to all of my special readers and answer a few questions.
Hair Care: I am loyal to Pantene Pro-V for the shine and bounce infused into my tresses with every single rinse. John Freida tames any Frizz that Summer humidity may bring along with it. I have yet to deal with a tangle that Garnier Fructis conditioner could not restore and revitalize. Hana Shine Shield Thermal Protectant helps lock in moisture and strengthen hair (used best before) applying the stress of heat styling. I finish it all off with my Hana Professional Flat Iron 1" Pink Edition.
*Bonus: For stronger hair and lasting shine: Consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.
Image Sources: Google, and linked sites.
Everyday Makeup: Cover Girl foundation in Natural Beige, I prefer it in powder compact form. Black or brown eyeliner, swapping between Stila Kajal in Onyx and Soft Kohl in Sable Brown by Rimmel. I favor nude lipsticks and glosses such as the glossimers by Chanel. However, when I want to vamp things up, red is it. Royal Red by Maybelline (worn HERE) is my choice favorite followed by Hot Pink Schiap by Nars running a close second. I want to try Red Lizard by Nars next.

Body: I was able to pamper my skin recently, courtesy of Aveeno and Lucky magazine. At first go, I slathered my legs and toes. Less than an hour later, this 24-Hour Ultra-Hydrating Whipped Souffle by Aveeno made me feel as if I had just left the spa, invigorating scent and all. The best part? It's packed with antioxidant-rich vitamins, soothing Shea and Cocoa butters plus nourishing Oatmeal.
Extras: Essie, American Apparel and OPI decorate my nails as of late. In rotation: Poppy, Van D'Go and Vodka & Caviar.

Thank you for sharing your beauty tip/
hair care!
Love really your hair, gorgeous!
I think I need to buy the Frizz control - does it leave the hair oily at all? I was considering a shine serum cause I heard that's suppose to be better?
Do you know where I can buy essie? I also have been debating the AA polishes - I heard they don't last for very long :/

THANK YOU ^ :)
Michelle Elain I commented back :) on your blog.
You are such a natural beauty, but it's nice to see the products you use to enhance your good looks. I think I am one of the people always asking about your hair products, so thanks for this post. Lol. :P
thanks for sharing! like I said before ur hair is amazing!
Thanks for sharing. I really love the pink lipstick. It reminds me of the pink nouveau from MAC.
Your hair is stunning. I can only wish to grow it even half your length AND thickness.
ps. The pics I took were not photoshopped. Michael and I were reeeeeeeally suprised at the effect. I was standing in the line where the light bounced off the water behind me and somehow that happened while he took pics. Wierd right?

Kate
first picture is nice
Love your hair!
I am a huge fan of Nars' Jungle Red and Funny Face. I am basically Nars obsessed.
Hi Erika! Lol, we do have things in common- I have been using Pantene since I was a teenager, and I loooove red lipstick! You're hair is so beautiful! My hair used to be similar until I fell under the hair dying curse :D
That first shot of your hair, is amazing. The light that catches the colour in your hair makes it look like a snap taken with an old vintage camera. Love it :)
love the pink!!
