Weave Tips & Care.

 Beneath the weave: whether sewn in, glued on or clipped in, a weave is a fabulous way to create a fashionable change to your hair. Beneath the weave is your natural hair which needs all the care to grow healthily, before you get a weave done you need to visit your stylist to treat your natural hair in preparation for the weave, your hair is either deep conditioned, protein treatment or intensive moisturized to have adequate nutrient to nourish your hair follicles while you wear your weave.

Don't wear a weave to hide damaged hair, make sure your hair is in a good condition before weaving. weave is never a solution for thin hair, breaking or damaged hair.

Care for your weave while wearing it, don't wear your weave for 2 months or even a month before you visit your stylist to shampoo it, at most every 2 weeks shampoo your weave, stinky weave is not attractive, please ladies note this.
 wear your weave for at most 2 month, a period longer than 2 month will lead to hair damage.
                                                                                finally after you take down your weave, go for your hair treatment appointment so that your natural hair can be cared for properly.      http://adornbeautyretreat.com/hair/weaves.html  http://adornbeautyretreat.com/hair/weaves.html

Flawless foundation / powder makeup tip




                                                  www.adornbeautyretreat.com


Flawless skin is the best canvass for any makeup application, the following tips are going to help you to achieve that flawless foundation and powder application.

If your skin tends to flake, be sure you exfoliate to rid yourself of that top layer of dead, dry skin
before applying a cream foundation.

when buying powder, a good test is to touch it, it should feel soft and silky, apply a little to the back of your hand to see if it catches in the line. It should look sheer and natural, If it is not finely milled it will look dry and chalky.

Skin Beauty



http://adornbeautyretreat.com/facials.html


The skin is the body's largest organ, It acts as a barrier against the environment and infections, It helps to regulate body temperature and excrete toxins. unlike other organs the skin is visible understanding it and keeping it healthy is very important.

understanding how lifestyle impacts the condition of the skin, knowing how skin works, analyzing skin conditions, identifying skin types, knowing skincare ingredients and how they work in order to select and use the appropriate products. 

Proper skin care is a step to flawless makeup application. applying makeup over dead skin cell, dull  skin, bad skin is the beginning of more underlying issues.

visit your Esthetician or skin care expert once in 3weeks or once in a month depending on your skin condition.

Beauty Tips for Dry skin

                                                 www.adornbeautyretreat.com

Dehydrated / Dry skin tends to look worn and lined, whereas skin that is well hydrated looks vibrant and healthy, so investing in the right serums,masks,moisturizers and eye creams is very important.

A light moisturizing liquid foundation will work better for you than cream formula.

oil based products glide on easily, powder products sit in crease drawing attention to fine lines.

cream blush is preferable.

Makeup Haul.

Hello! It's been a while I have done a makeup haul for you all and I wanted to share somethings I found recently. makeup is always fun for me and after getting these goodies I could not wait to share them with you


Morphe brushes eyeshadow palette

morphe brushes palettes are amazing! ranging from 28 eyeshadows in a palette to 32 eyeshadow palettes in some other palettes, if you love mac, makeup geek cosmetics you will definitely love these palettes. They are so rich in colors and very pigmented. The first time I saw the company's display was at a cosmetology conference (image expo) I was so hesitant to purchase them because I thought it was one of those cheap, powdery palettes, i decided to buy one palette and i fell in love. I created some looks with these palettes already. will post them soon. over all its a great buy and really worth it.


milani  crystal lipgloss collection
OMG! these drugstore lip glosses are one of the best apart from NYX lip glosses that I love, this is the second best drugstore lip glosses.




crown brushes and morphe brushes
I got these brushes at the image expo show, they are great soft on the skin and very affordable. 
maybelline matte lipsticks
When I saw these lipsticks at my local drugstore i was so hesistant even though "divine wine" got my attention because of beautiful  color "a cool red tone", I searched for reviews and was so impressed with the reviews and I had to get them.Their names are as beautiful as the colors
Left to Right
Touch of spice, lush for blush, mesmerizing magenta, divine wine, siren in scarlet.

My love for Naked palette 3

I have to confess my beauty love for this gorgeous set of rose, pink shades palette.
I never Wanted to purchase this palette because I have both naked 1& 2 and I don't really use them that much except on my brides. When the 3rd edition came out despite the rave about it, I wasn't convinced to purchase it asides that some uploaded pictures that I had seen didnt do this palette justice, some looked washed off and others reflected different colors so it was not appealing until I walked into sephora store and I saw the display I fell in love with the colors then I made up my mind that I was going to buy it. The colors were different from the previous palettes which were basically gold,brown shimmery shades e.t.c but this naked 3 palette has beautiful rose colors, shades of pinks with gold undertone and some gold colors which makes it a great combination for any soft look, smokey or night time looks
I created the look below using the palette. Let me know what you all think, I hope you all love it.

A traditional and white wedding for a beautiful bride


My beautiful bride/client, it was a great pleasure working with her. Ms Jibiks as fondly called by her friends was calm and had confident in me from the first day I met her till her wedding day.  She wanted a simple yet beautiful makeup in the morning of her white wedding which was achieved using Airbrush makeup and she was satisfied with the overall result. 
During the evening of her wedding and I  had to touch up her eyes and lipcolor with different colors because she changed into a different attire for her evening party.
Her wedding / reception venue was a beautiful grand banquet hall in Richmond Texas ( Cindy's palace banquet hall).

It was a great wedding, wishing the bride and the groom blessed marriage.

Parian spirit brush cleaner review.

I purchased  Parian spirit  brush cleaner online, ever since then it has been one of my favourite makeup tools that I cannot do without.
The lemon tangy smell I love so much and would rather smell that than a very strong chemical 
Some people may find the smell overwhelming but I'm ok with it.
It really cleans the brushes so well and leaves a oil residue feel on the brushes after cleaning but you can wipe that off on a paper towel.
Over all it makes cleaning my makeup brushes easier and faster
Will I recommend this ? Yes I will but if you don't like the lemon smell or the oil feel after cleaning you may not like it.
I hope you all find this review helpful.
The following pictures are step by step to using the Parian spirit brush cleaner.
