Misinformation About African-American Skin

People has often mentioned that African-American's don't have to worry about SPF in make-up or sun screen when there on the beach. This is a myth and here is why.

Because of our African heritage, black and dark-skinned women and men have often been led to believe that dark skin is built for the sun. Though this may seem true, it is in fact untrue.

Most "blacks" living on the desert or in dry regions, are almost always covered, leaving very litttle skin exposed directly to the sun.

Even though we don't see the burn we can feel the burn. And over time you strip your epidermis (what you touch and see) down, making it worn, brittle and dry.

So I strongly suggest to EVERYONE including African-Americans, Africans, Biracial Americans whomever purchase a hydrating cream, sunscreen and products that has a SPF in them.

Hi Babydolls, This is Ms. Danyelle aka The Make-Up Maven with another product review. I recently went to the local drug store to fill a prescription and came across some e.f.f products. I've been longing for a bronzer for my skin tone, something that wouldn't make me too dark or leave a line of demarcation. I purchased the product and went came home to sample it.

This e.l.f product was "Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder" in Warm Tan. It also came with an e.l.f bronzing brush.

Upon opening the package, I immediately loved the fragrance of the bronzing powder, it didn't have that tackle mesh old cheap smell. The fragrance was very vibrant and sexy. Applying the product was a cheer joy. It was light, easy and sexy. I even used it as a contour on my temples and above my cheek bones.

Let me add that this was all I wore for the rest of the day. It also has a long staying power all you have to do is cleanse the skin, tone and use a hydrating cream and apply the e.l.f bronzer or foundation then the e.l.f bronzer.

I give this product 5 stars. I surely LOOOOOVVVVVEEEDDD It. Thank you e.l.f for making me a bronzer I can wear in the summer without sweating it off by the end of the day.

REVIEW: Revlon Diamond Lust in Platinum Plaything(625)

Hi Baby Dolls,

I hope you had a wonderful & happy Easter! I'm still full, but not to full to inform you about my latest review. This week review was Revlon's Diamond Lust in Platinum Plaything (625). WHOA!!!!! This color is AMAZING, I used this eye shadow to create a smokey silver & black look for the nightclub, I then paired it with some (Sonia Kashuk) lashes and grey colored contacts I LOOKED SEXY! Women, In the club were asking "Who does your make-up?". This eye color is very easy, creative and wearable. You can wear this eye shade with a nude or gloss lip and go. You can also dress it up with a black or a blue to give you that VA VA VOOM look. This product glides on and with a super PRIMER it goes NO WHERE. I give this product 5 stars.

REVIEW: KLEANCOLOR 9 Eye Palettes

Hi Baby Dolls,

I recently had the pleasure to Review a product for the eyes. It's the 9 Eye Palettes by Kleancolor. I think these eye palettes are superbly great for that mini-gal(or guy) who wants to try new colors, experiment and create wonderful looks using beauty store brands. Sometimes people can't afford those higher end brands, I think using Kleancolor with a primer and a base you get that HIGH QUALITY texture, look and lasting effect and you don't feel guilty in the morning about it. Personally, I've used these products at hair shows, fashion events and promotional nightclub events. WHY? You might ask. Because this product is wearable and suitable for the "Average" person, it allows you to play around with it, customize a look just for yourself and bring that high fashion look to the everyday world. So, I would like to give this product 4 stars.
