Swa-Rai Review: Rock Revival Perfume

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Raijean S

You guys know how much I love packages! Well, before I left for LA, I received a new fragrance called Rock Revival! One of my favorite things besides fashion is perfume! Some say, I’m a hoarder but whatever! If there is anything every girl needs, it’s a perfume collection. I hate when girls don’t wear perfume, I think it’s a girls duty to smell sweet, sexy and feminine. With new seasons comes new perfumes, may I suggest Rock Revival Perfume for the summer. In the summer it’s better to go with a light scent. This is the ultimate girls perfume … Read More

Manicure Monday: Rawrrrr

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Raijean S

For whatever reason, I was in the mood for a cheetah print. I decided to try Sally Hansen Salon Effects #320 in Kitty, Kitty. I love nail polish strips and these came out super cute! I will say for whatever reason these were a little bit more flimsy than ones I’ve used in the past but the end results were still the same. I added an accent nail to make the strips pop and red is my favorite so you that’s what I went with!I’m really feeling this manicure, hopefully I will go somewhere fun this week so my manicure will … Read More

Maybelline Vivids Looks Great on Brown Skin

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Raijean S

By now, I’m sure you guys are aware that I’m obsessed with a bold lip! I’m not one for wearing a lot of makeup but I absolutely love wearing color on my lips. Years ago, I got caught up in the notion that brown girls can’t and/or shouldn’t wear color so I didn’t. Then one day, I decided to hell with what everyone says, I’m going to try whatever color lipstick I want: If it works, great and if it doesn’t, that’s fine as well. I’ve been hearing a lot about Maybelline Vivids so I decided to try a couple of them. … Read More

Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer

Well, if you don’t brush/comb your hair on a regular basis then you know what happens! Your hair/extensions tend to become frizzy and tangled. I … Read More
