Black Opal Foundation Stick Review

Black Opal Foundation in a word...AMAZING!

My experience with Black Opal foundation stick has been very good. It is a rich creamy foundation. You can achieve full coverage with just a few dabs. The colors in the picture are Hazelnut (left) and Suede Mocha (right). The pictures below clearly show how moisturizing the foundation is. I love it! Apply, blend, set. It is a very good alternative (in my opinion) to my MAC concealer, which I use as a foundation. I actually prefer it.

No primer brighter lighting

No primer and low light

I also purchased the Deluxe Finishing Loose Powder in Deep. The finishing powder has a silky texture and adds a matte look without looking dry or ashy. I love love the foundation, but if I was in a rush the finishing powder is so richly pigmented I can apply it over moisturizer/primer. The finishing powder contains mica. Leaves a silky glow to your skin.

Black Opal advertises as a true to color full coverage foundation with 16 shades. I agree it is a heavy foundation and seems to be very good for someone whose skin tends to be on the dry side. The color range is awesome. There are 5 shades darker than Hazelnut and 2 shades darker than Suede Mocha. The color chart on the website needs improving because you can't really see the richness of the shades. I hope and pray Black Opal continues this amazing line of foundations and powders. It does transfer a little and it maybe a little oily for people prone to oily skin that breaks out easily, but other than that, these little foundation sticks are amazing.

Vintage Bohemian Shoulder Bag

This bag is awesome. A compartment for all of your gadgets and beauty products.

Trend Alert: Faux Locs

Locs are not new but the way people are going after the style is new. If for whatever reason you don't want to actually dread your own hair (who came up with that term sounds like something to avoid not enjoy), anywho there are now alternatives to wearing dreadlocks.

➽Dreadlocks, also locs, dreads, or in Sanskrit, Jaṭā,^[1] are ropelike strands of hair formed by matting or braiding hair.^[2] Earliest depictions of dreadlocks date from over 3000 years ago. There are records of Minoans and Greeks wearing locs. (Wikipedia)

I have fallen in love with the faux loc hairstyle, but before trying them I did a little research to find out which ones are supposed to be better and easier to install.

Since I will be attempting this myself with a little help I needed to know the pros and cons of each method. I must say some of the methods are a little time consuming so I would need to plan accordingly.

➧ So far the cons are faux locs are a long-lasting protective style you can do your self and the end result is very versatile, there is no end to all the styles you can wear.
➧ Cons are synthetic hair can be heavy and drying to your natural hair if not taken care of properly.

These ladies did an amazing job explaining the process. Thank you so much for the tutorials.

➧Each of the tutorials has a little different method which is why I choose them.

This video shows the best looking and more authentic look of dreads (in my opinion).

➧The video below shows a faster method and dreads look a little silky.

➧I love this video on faux loc because she also covers taking care of your hair.

If you have tried faux locs please leave your comments below as to how the process went for you.

➽A little interesting information on dreadlocks. In my quest to find out more about the hairstyle I got a history lesson. It took two hours to do what was supposed to be a 30-minute post about a new do. Check out the page for some very interesting information.

What is the Hottest Trend in Sweaters?

Basic Cardigan from Styles4Less

We all get the joke about ugly Christmas sweaters but right now there is a sweater that is trending according to Polyvore.

One of the most searched for on Polyvore is the all comfy cardigan. I must admit this is the time of year for those all enveloping cozy and comfortable cardigan sweater but the look of what is called a cardigan is changing. My two favs are the big bulky rib knit hooded cardigans and the basic old-fashioned button cardigan.
