This is a sponsored post, however; All opinions are my own. Â Â

When I posted the above picture on my Instagram I could of ton of comments. Â I was shocked. Â I honestly didn’t think anyone would even notice. Â Like I said in my prior post, #THECURLNEXTDOOR, I’m natural under my wig and I started wearing wigs after I damaged my hair. Â Wigs for me now are just easy now.
If you’re thinking about wearing wigs I always say start off with cheap wigs. Â Wigs aren’t for everyone. Â You don’t want to spend a ton of money on a wig and then not love it. Â For me know wigs are an very easy way to do a change up affordably. Â Be it a new color, cut or style, wigs are a great way to test a change out.
.

This braid is one of my favorite wigs. Â It’s stylish and the maintenance is very easy.

My favorite wig maker?Â
Are you a wiggy? Â Do you prefer wigs to long or short? Curly or straight?
I first wore this wig at the NIKEWOMEN’S PLUS SIZE FASHION EVENT event.

“Don’t touch my hair When it’s the feelings I wear” _ Solange Knowles

After seeing women on social media discuss spending hours mixing their own shampoos and conditioners with Apple Cider Vinegar and other natural products to smooth hair, increase shine, remove product build-up, and soothe an irritated scalp, the independent Chicago-based manufacturer created the Hawaiian Silky Apple Cider Vinegar hair care line.  As a Chicago influencer,  I was invited by the makers of Hawaiian Silky to learn more about their latest line.  I’m so happy to have been welcomed into the natural hair space.  I’m a known wiggy.  I got into wigs due to damage I caused to my own hair.  I am slowly getting my hair back to a healthy state.  Yes, this wiggy is also a naturalista.  And as a product junkie who loves all things beauty, it’s always great to get my hands on new products.
.

The Hawaiian Silky Apple Cider Vinegar line is infused with the pH balancing powers of Apple Cider Vinegar, Activated Charcoal, Black Castor Oil, and other herbal ingredients to create a line for straight and curly hair types with coarse or thick strands who want to seal the hair cuticle, enhance shine and reduce product build up.
.
The Hawaiian Silky Apple Cider Vinegar line includes: Hair Balanced Apple Cider Vinegar with Black Castor Oil to soothe irritated scalps, Charcoal Activated Shampoo to cleanse and remove build up, Hair So Soft Conditioner to detangle and seal in moisture, Lather-Free Conditioning Wash (Co-Wash) to use in between shampoo days for smooth moisturized hair and reduced breakage, Static-Fee Leave-In Conditioner infused with Black Castor Oil to promote stronger hair, Hair Yogurt Intensive Treatment for deep conditioning and repair, Bald Spot Recovery Serum to stimulate the scalp for longer and stronger hair, Extreme Edge Control to keep unruly edges and fly-aways in place, and Hair Strand Pomade for strong hold on short styles.

Within this blog post, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the Fenty Beauty.  I’ll be offering a Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint review.  I’ll talk about all the latest colors that Fenty Beauty is offering.
Is RiRi’s Stunna Lip Paint worth purchasing? Â Which colors are a most have? Â Keep reading for my thoughts on these latest beauty finds.
.
.
I’m here to bring you an honest and true review of RiRi’s Stunna Lip Paint.  I love it!  I’m here for most of RiRi’s products.  The music, the fashions and yes her makeup.  I’m a fan but I’m not part of the navy.  I’m Beyhive all day, lol.  So when I tell you I love I mean it unbiased way.  This lippie gave me everything I needed and more than I expected.
The price had me at first. Â Twenty-four dollars. Â Come on now RiRi. Â However, after test driving this lip paint for a full day I most say “Take my coins, Rihanna!” Â The color took after one application and lasted all day. Â That’s right I didn’t have to reapply even after eating and drinking multiple times for Thanksgiving. Â Please note: Â I did not condition my lips or add a primer nor did I use a liner.
Fenty Beauty is 100 percent cruelty free
I was originally concerned with the bottle shape and carrying it in a small clutch. Â However with the lips paint long wearability I feel I could apply it and not worry about touching up later. Â The lip paint drys to a nice matte finish that didn’t peel or crack throughout the day.
I’m very pleased with Fenty Beauty latest release and I can’t wait from them to release more color. Â *crosses fingers they keep the formula the same.
COLOR: Uncensored – Perfect Universal Red
It’s a weightless, 12-hour liquid lipstick with a soft matte finish—born in one head-turning red shade that looks incredible on all skin tones.  The love child of high-impact color and low-maintenance long-wear in one head-turning red that’s got everyone’s name on it. It is hands down, the perfect shade of red—hand-picked by Rihanna and obsessively tested to make sure it looks incredible on everyone.
Ingredient:
Isododecane, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Propylene Carbonate, Red 7 (Ci 15850), Yellow 5 Lake (Ci 19140), Yellow 6 Lake (Ci 15985).
The FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color come is size 0.13 oz/ 4 mL as compared to MAC’s liquid lipstick sized .17oz.

“lol. still ashy. Shook.” _Rihanna (In response to Make Up For Ever’s IG post)

The third launch from the Fenty Beauty brand will bring us the lip paint “Stunna”. The lip paint follows up the initial face launch that gave us Fenty foundation and the much talked about Trophy Wife. Next up was the holiday Galaxy Collection. Now we have Stunna the red lip. I’m just going to tell you know I’m very excited for this lip paint. The last time Rihanna dipped her toe into the making of a bold red lip color it during her collaboration with M.A.C. That’s when the cult favorite “Riri Woo” was born. It was the prefect red matte lip for every girl in the world. I’m exciting Stunna lip paint should give us nothing less.

The tube looks opaque, bold red lip product. The lip paint doesn’t come the same packaging as the gloss. The lip paint has a long, facetted conical top instead of the shorter, flat-topped version on the gloss. I seems that this is a one of lip paint drop but others are speculating this intense red liquid lipstick is only part of the brand’s next generation of launches. Rihanna has hinted at plans for an expanded lip collection in future. I’ll be in line November 23rd to see. Oh did I mention the lip paint price point is $24.
