Nars Product Review and Swatches

Hey beauties, just wanted to do a product review for Nars cosmetics. Nars makeup brand is like no other brand I've used. Nars makeup are much more pigmented and  applies to the skin much more  smoothly. I'm still a big fan of MAC cosmetics but, I decided to explore the makeup world a little more and branch out to other brands. I recently purchased Nars Albatross and Desire. These are my two new favorite blushes. Albatross looks white on pan but it's actually a golden, champaign color when applied to skin. It's great for highlighting your face to give it that glow and shimmer.  Desire is a very bubble gum pink that is very pigment and a little goes a long way. All Nars blushes come with a mirror inside which I think is a great idea to help you apply makeup when on the go. Each blush is $30 which compared to MAC isn't too expensive because, MAC blushes are $28 without a mirror so for an extra $2 I think it's worth it. Well guys please check out my YouTube channel for more indepth details and swatches. www.youtube.com/pinklocksofmac86

Coco who? Coco-nut

Ok that title probably didn't make any sense but at least it got your attention :-) 

I decided to write this blog after having a conversation with a customer at the MAC cosmetics counter at Macy's this week. I was speaking to the MAC makeup artist and telling her about my skin and hair care routine and I explained to her that I use coconut oil because I have really dry skin and it helps to hydrant it. So a young women asked  "did I over hear you say coconut oil?" I said yes I use it for my face,body, and hair. She said "but I thought it was only for cooking", and I told her that coconut oil has many different purposes. I explained that it works wonders for the skin and it helps your hair become more healthy and strong as well as helping it to grow. She was so intrigued by this and said that she will stop by the local health food store to get some. I told her that it's extra virgin coconut oil, and she can also purchase it from amazon. 

So long story short extra virgin coconut oil is a great dietary food additive and it's also great for your skin and hair. You will see a difference after some time and I will always recommend it over any top named brand hair and body cream product anyday.
