I have had my company ORGLAMIC beauty since 2009. No its not a cosmetic line…at least not yet! But it is a company that educates women on health and beauty through workshops, gives back to the community, and more!!

I had my 1st ORGLAMIC beauty event in February 2009. Well, I thought it was time that I celebrate all the new things my company has been doing since then . So I got my friend and colleague Brandalyn Fulton to come on board!! Together with the assistance of my sister and blogger Ms. True Happiness, we began planning An ORGLAMIC Approach To True Happiness”.

Our goal was to celebrate women empowerment through health, beauty, and taking a lead in the community, but also reckognizing women making positive moves in the beauty and entertainment world. National Women’s Health Week partnered with us to make this an even greater success!!

Women from all industries were invited to attend our event to feel uplifted and empowered. We honored Greenhope Services for Women, Malikha Mallette host of power 105.1 in the afternoon, and Amanda Seales, dj, tv personality, and painter/artist. Both Malikha and Amanda, in my opinion, are power players who hold their own and are making positive moves with in the community!

Take a look at some of my favorite moments/images from the ORGLAMIC beauty event!

Mixed Chicks helps me rock my natural curl

I’ve been away a bit longer than anticipated!

Well I had the opportunity to attend an intimate lunch-in with the ladies of Mixed Chicks, Kim and Wendy, thanks to my sis Ms.True Happiness.

They launched a lot of amazing products!! If any of you know me, I rock my hair natural a lot during summer months, and Mixed Chicks is always my saving grace!

The room where the event was set up was so cute! Each table was set up and named so appropriately! There was the “bountiful curls bar”, “effortless waves bar”, “sleek & cheek bar”, “mixed chick kids”, and “his mix”.

I don’t think you all are ready for all Mixed Chicks launched!! Antioxidant soaps, mixed chicks flat iron & straightening serum, hair care for men, children, and even cute dolls which have beautiful curly hair!! What a great way to help show your child to appreciate their beautiful curls!!

Let’s not forget what Mixed Chicks is known for… their leave-in conditioner!!! And if you didn’t know(I didn’t) they now have sulfate free shampoo!!! And if you haven’t tried their DEEP conditioner… You MUST!! It’s a product that feels so good when you put it on your hair and makes the hair incredibly soft!! One of my fav products hands down!

Well check out pictures from the event. I also added a shot of me with my hair straight, I used the new mixed chick straightening serum. What do you think??

Take a look at all the products below.

Ms. True Happiness(my sis) and I having fun!

I was so excited last week because I had the privilege of grooming some amazing gentlemen.

Cuba Gooding Jr, Al Roker, and Dr. Cornel West all to be had to be camera ready, most guys don’t like much “makeup”. So in order to keep down any shine I use mattifying products like Peter Thomas Roth gel, and MAC Studio Fix powders. I groom their brows and brighten under their eyes.

I took a picture of Al and Cuba as they were being interviewed and I caught Dr. West just in time to take a pic with me!

They were all a pleasure to work with. I LOVE my job!

Check out the pictures.

Royal and Langnickel launched their new line of brushes last Wednesday April 11th. Myself and fellow makeup artist Meagan Hester were invited to be the 1st makeup artist to use the brushes by giving makeup touch ups to guest during the event.

The visionary who partnered with the company is my lover boy, lol, and Emmy Award winning makeup artist Kevin James Bennett(he is wonderful).

The 32 brushes are an amazing line that are not your ordinary set of synthetic brushes. Each brush head is made of DuPont Natrafil fibers, which mimic the performance and feel of the finest natural hair. These mimic the feel of natural hair, no more hard, crunchy brushes.
Kevin also knows the wear and tear that brushes go through while in the hands and kits of a makeup artist. The handles are made of molded, high impact acrylic and coated in rubberized soft touch for added comfort and grip. And let me tell you, these brushes feel very nice in your hand! “Wooden brush handles expand, contract and warp when continually exposed to moisture, causing brush heads to loosen and sometimes detach. The acrylic handles are impervious to water damage and fused to the non-corrosive, nickel plated, solid brass ferrule. These important extra steps insure that the brush head assembly will not loosen or detach, even if soaked in water or brush cleanser. The “soft touch” coating on the acrylic handles give [R]evolution™ brushes a sensual, modern look and make them extremely comfortable to hold and use.”

I honestly and truly believe that these brushes are the next best thing since the beauty blender sponge. I know it is isn’t realistic for most to own 32 brushes. Sooo I have taken pictures of 3 of my fav brushes from the line that I think are great to have in your makeup bag.

I also have pics from the event! Enjoy!
