What Glamourstry Is All About

Hey Glamoristas/Beauties/Dolls! So lately, I have been thinking a lot about many different things, and one of those things included the reason I decided to start my Glamourstry blog and YouTube channel. One of the reasons I began this blog was because I wanted to chronicle my journey to creating a more glamorous self, in all areas of my life, but especially when it comes to beauty. I wanted to…

Hey Dolls! In this video, I show you the last four looks I created using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I decided to group all four of these looks into one video in just to make it easier for you to get your last chocolate fix. See how considerate I am?

These looks range from simple and sophisticated, to dramatic, but the one thing that they all have in common, is that they are easy to create.

So, my seven looks using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette has come to an end.

Oh my goodness, is this really the end? Am I done with the chocolate? Well, of course the answer is a “NO”! How could I ever be done with chocolate?? There’s always room for chocolate, even if its in my makeup!

I really like this palette and again, I still can’t get over how delicious it smells…even after having it for a while, so of course will be using it more in the future, but for now, we have unwrapped this palette enough and now its time to wrap it up (At least for a little while)!

Now that we have conquered another palette together, I want to know if there is anything that you guys would like to see? Let me know! I am always open to your suggestions and feedback.

Until next time, beautiful people…be sure to live life glamorously!

XoXo,

Too Faced Chocolate Bar, $49.00

Look 1

Hey Dolls!

Yesterday, I uploaded a video using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I LOVE this palette! This shades in this palette are GORG and you get a nice mix of satin and matte shades. The best feature of all…IT SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE! Which I am sure you may already know by now due to its popularity (and also the fact that its been out for quite some time now).

Like most gals out there, I LOVE me some chocolate and I will take it in my makeup as well…don’t mind if I do!

This look is part of the Inspiration Before Expiration series. I was able to use this palette for eye shadow (Yep..Captain Obviously here), cheek color, contouring and even for my highlight with this look. This look, as many of my others, is super simple and you will be able to pull it off in no time.

Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed this video. Please don’t forget to share this post if you liked this video and subscribe to my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/glamourstry if you have not done so already. so you can get my latest content. Until we meet again, stay glamorous!

Ooo…Chocolate! Too Faced Chocolate Bar Look 1 Hey Dolls! Yesterday, I uploaded a video using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I LOVE this palette!

Hey Glamour Babes!

So we FINALLY made it to Look 7! Yay! It is has been exciting to see what kinds of looks I could come up with this palette.

I started this series, because I wanted to challenge myself and inspire others to get the most use out of their palettes as possible, and I will admit, I had some high and lows. There were times when I felt GEEKED to use an all matte palette, and then other times, I wanted to reach for other palettes becomes sometimes I can appreciate a good satin, foil, or shimmer shade in the mix! However, I stuck it through because there are some people out there who may ONLY have this one palette, so I wanted to try to stick to using just this one, which was the intended point in the first place!

This the look I came up with. This look is definitely more dramatic than any of the other looks that I have previously done with this palette, in my opinion. I LOVE it! It’s something extra sexy and sultry about a smokey eye and it’s always classic!

This is a great option for a night on the town or if you just wanna bring out your inner “Miss Fierce”!

I truly hope you enjoy and until my next one…be glamorous!

XOXO,

Markita LaSay

Beginning A New Series: Inspiration Before Expiration

Hey Glamour Babes! FYI…I am creating a series primarily on my YouTube channel (that will also feature on my other social media accounts) called “Inspiration Before Expiration”. I was inspired to create this series because I love collecting makeup. I will even admit that I am as much of a “makeup junkie” as any “beauty guru”. However, by nature, I don’t like to be wasteful. So I decided to…

As you may know, I have been on a healthy haircare journey for quite some time now. Over the years, I have tried MANY hair care products and plead guilty for being a product junkie!

The bright side to being a self-professed “product junkie, is that I can bring you guys reviews on products to potentially help you make more educated decisions. Recently, I picked up a few products from Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair. I’ve been wanting to try these products for some time now, so I decided to pick up the products that I was most interested in, which was the shampoo, conditioner and curl activator cream. Here are my thoughts…

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Cleansing Cream Shampoo, $4.99

Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream, $5.99

Hydrating Cream Conditioner, $4.99

Cleansing Cream Shampoo: Great for deeply cleansing the hair, Created without sulfates, but still provides a reach lather that can help with detangling; Has a tropical scent of pinna colada or coconut. Verdict: Good! Love that this shampoo lathers REALLY well and did a great job at cleansing my hair. This did leave my hair a bit hard to detangle, after I treated my hair with a light protein treatment a couple of times, but this did not happen at all prior to me doing the protein treatments.

Hydrating Cream Conditioner: Created to provide hydration and moisture to the hair after cleansing; Provides “slip” for detangling; Has the same tropical scent as the shampoo. Verdict: OK. Did its job. This conditioner did not wow me, BUT it does do its job in hydrating the hair, provided a good amount of slip on my very curly-kinky natural hair during detangling, especially for the price point.

Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream: Great for smoothing frizz, moisturizing the hair, and enhancing natural curl pattern during styling; Has the same tropical scent as the shampoo and conditioner. Verdict: OK. Did a good job moisturizing my hair and helping take care of frizz. This would be good for wash and go styles. However, this product was kind of sticky and leaves a white cast on the hair once dried. I tend to have this issue with Cantu Shea Butter’s products for some reason, even if I am light-handed with the product. I did find that this worked best on slightly damp to wet hair, but overall, I would say there are other products out there within the same price point, that I would prefer.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post. If you want additional information about this products on just want to reach out to me, feel free to comment or hit me up on my other social media platforms as well. Until next time….live life glamorously!
