Get Twisted: GIVEAWAY Twisted Sista Hair care Collection

Being a naturalista, I’m always trying various products in the hopes of finding the perfect shampoo or that conditioner that I’ll love unconditionally. While there are many brands that work for my hair type, Twisted Sista is the latest line to positively speak to my strands.

Even though the Vitamin E-enriched formula complements my kinky/curly texture, it’s for all hair types. Whether curly, thick, natural, or chemically straightened, this London favorite caters to women with varying hair needs, but who ultimately want frizz-free tresses.

My favorite product from the collection is the curl activator. It helps define and moisturize my curls without weighing them down. Plus, it has a pleasant subtle scent that doesn’t offend my senses. 
Have you tried Twisted Sista Hair care Products? If you want to try,  5 LUCKY READERS will win the entire line which includes: De-Frizz Shampoo, De-Frizz Conditioner, Curl Activator, 30 Seconds Curls Spray, Blow Drying Creme, and Different Strokes Serum.

Sole Savior: Dr. Teal’s Giveaway

You may have survived the stress of the holidays, but surely your soles could use a bit of TLC. Whether they stood in those long Black Friday lines or were squeezed into uncomfortable (but fabulous) stilettos at your New Year’s Eve soiree, Dr. Teal’s is just what the doctor ordered.

Soak your soles in their Epsom salt foot bath for a heavenly experience. Not only does the soak relax tired feet, but it also provides a cooling peppermint sensation. To go that extra mile, follow-up with  their rich and soothing foot cream for maximum moisture.

Giveaway: Dermablend Celebrates Its 30-Year Anniversary

I’ve never been a big fan of foundations for everyday use, but I can NOT go a day without wearing concealer. Since my college years, I’ve worn Dermablend concealers to hide blemishes and diminish the appearance of dark under-eye circles.

Not only does Dermablend conceal minor imperfections, but it is known for its outstanding coverage of unsightly scars, tattoos and various skin ailments. This year the popular makeup brand is celebrating its 30-year anniversary. In honor of making us beautiful for 3 decades, I’m giving away a fabulous professional brush set (includes each of the brushes below) that will help you create a flawless complexion. (a $125 value!)


Concealer Brush, $22


Face & Body Brush, $40


Foundation Brush, $30


Powder Brush, $32
