As I Am | Narssie



Hello!

I think this post is very self-explanatory when it comes to the product that I've photographed beautifully. To tell you a little about myself, I have frizzy curly hair that does not look cute when I wake up. At least, that was back then when I didn't bother with my curly naps. Although, I am scarred for life with a horrid nickname. 
I've never used a Leave-In Conditioner on my hair at any point in my life, scouts honor, so this is a totally honest review. I usually use a styling oil in my hair while it's damp but this time around I used As I Am's Leave-In Conditioner after my mom consistently asked me to try it.
It seems wonderful, first off. It mostly smells of coconut but has a much sweeter smell due to the other ingredients such as green tea and apple, etc. 


It leaves my hair feeling as if I just came back from the hair salon but without straightening it or even putting in so much chemical product in my hair. My hair feels less oily when I skip a wash and my curls don't get frizzy when it's a rainy day. Did I mention that it leaves your hair smelling great? Well, it does. I thought leave-in conditioner would not work for me because of my curls but for now on I have a new product that is worth the try. I love this product and my mom loves this product. It is great for all hair types, and I'd be happy to purchase this again.

The packing is also great because it not only allows you to pour the right amount you need but keeps the product from leaking. That's a good thing for me, I always tend to spill my product and have to buy a new one. I can't wait to have my hair shorter and go all natural this summer instead of having a side bread. I'm in need of a change.


What's your favorite leave-in conditioner?

Warm Weather | Narssie







Hello!



The hot days are starting to pile up here in New York, although there are chilly mornings and breezy afternoons. And do not get me wrong, I am all for those beautiful days of my friends and I playing soccer, but can we all take the moment to admire my brand new sandals?
Now, I'll admit it. I hate my feet and do enjoy my sneakers a little too often, yet this year (with me keeping my eyes wide open for my next favorite accessory for my feet) I found a new found interest in also looking my best while allowing my feet to breath this summer.
This is not a name brand, I will tell you that. But with its criss crossing, leather, texture design, I'm obviously proud of my precious find. They are comfortable and can easily make a simple outfit look complete.
I'm looking forward to heading to the beach with these, walking around the city, and even a lazy day to the library. 


What item are you dying to wear this summer?

EOS Lip Balm Review | Narssie

Left: pomegranate raspberry Right: strawberry sorbet


What else can I say besides who hasn't heard of these?

With the amount of time that I have spent on YouTube, I've grown to know the fact that most beauty guru's do not go without an EOS lip balm in their makeup collection. I get it. You need to moisturize your lips so that they won't look unattractive to the opposite sex, or to whomever you are trying to not to embarrass yourself in front of. Whatever the case may be, why in the world do you have to have SO MANY?

Not only do they last a very long time, but they also don't work as well as my all time favorite, Blistex. And I am not going to lie - they smell wonderful. Yet I feel like I've wasted my money on lip balms that don't work. They do not live up to want they put on the description of the product: keeps your lips moist, and smooth. It's winter and I expect to have my lips not chapped through out the day. The EOS lip balm didn't keep up with my demands, making me regret leaving my Blistex at home for the day and reapplying it continuously.

Now they stay at home, where I only use it once in a while before I go to bed or in the morning. I may or may not be repurchasing this product because it may be different during the summer. I'll just have to wait and see if they last that long.

Do you like EOS Lip Balms?

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal | Narssie

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal
55 Inked In Pink

Not too long ago, Maybelline came out with a eye shadow line called Color Tattoo 24hr by Eyestudio, and some of that line consisted of very bold colors, like a bright orange, blue, and purple, along with more earthly tones. After I thought it couldn't get any better, Maybelline came out with Color Tattoo Metal, which have very suttle everyday colors, that I believe can be used for all skin colors.

The color that I've bought is number 55 Inked By Pink, which I am very excited to try.



This pink is very much pigmented with a lot of shimmer, and suttle for everyday use. It is also very build-able and if you wish, you can where it all on its own. It's easy to apply, blend, and remove. This was worth the purchase. What's your favorite Color Tattoo color?

Little Black Booties | Narssie

Black Combat Boots - $30
I've finally got myself a pair of black boots! For obvious reasons, it is winter (although it is coming to a sad ending), and I'm acting like I never, ever had boots in my whole entire existence. Correction: I never had black boots.

The only pair of boots I have right now are these dull brown boots that have platform heels and click, clack everywhere I go. Just imagine walking around an empty hallway at school while class is in session, and your shoes are the only things you can hear. I get nervous (I hate bringing attention to myself) and so I end up sliding my feet on the floor or walking on my tip toes to be as silent as possible.

Talk about ninjas - I'll put them to shame.

I got these pair of boots at EasyPickins for only $30. I'm not going to lie, I actually wanted to find these boots in brown because I felt like I wear too much black, but nothing ever goes wrong with black. Black goes with everything.


Black Combat Boot Laces
I was so blinded by these boots' beauty I didn't realize that they have hooks instead of the regular shoelace loops that I have been dying for (only because my other boots have hooks and my laces fall out of them if not tied up properly). That is the only con of these boots but since the laces to these boots feel secure in the hooks, I feel as if I won't have to bother with them. I might even forget they are hooks if that's possible.

I feel proud of myself for this purchase. Now my weekend is completed.
