Shea Moisture Makeup Line?!
Going through my nightly ritual of checking all social media sites before going to bed, I ran across the following picture on instagram:
Photo snagged from @returnofthecurls
Yes this is makeup and YES, if you look closely that is Shea Moisture.
I'm already a fan of their hair products and use some as staples in my routine BUT, when I saw this photo I immediately reposted and began digging for information.
Shea Moisture announced that their cosmetic line "A Better Way to Beautiful" will launch this Spring exclusively in Target stores
(information sourced from PR Newswire)
*does happy dance*
I'm not a makeup artist nor a makeup enthusiast but I am excited and can't wait to try it out.
Are you a fan of Shea Moisture products? Do you plan on trying out their new cosmetic line?

Looking back...
I'm participating in Return Of The Curls Photo A Day challenge on Instagram and day 5 we're to post a pic from our relaxer/relaxed days. I found 3 cute pictures of myself and it got me thinking:
1. Do I missed my relaxer/relaxed days?
Sometimes yes. To me my hair was a little more manageable at times. Close to the time I officially transtioned I wore a lot of half wigs that were of a looser textures than my natural hair so if I was having a bad hair day I could turn to one as an alternative. I can't find that now that I'm fully natural. I also miss easily curling my hair. I'm now stylist but I could work wonders with a flat iron and some oil sheen (lol).
2. Would I consider relaxing my hair again?
I'll never say never HOWEVER, I don't plan on doing so. I've said before that of I ever decided to relaxy hair again....I'm going to cut or short (like Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly short).
I must say, that overall I enjoyed my relaxed years up until things went sour. I always wanted to revert back to my natural state but after a few months I'd punk out. Still glad I made this choice and I'm loving it.
What are your views on relaxed hair? If natural, have you considered relaxing it (again)?-CreativelyCoiled

18x24"
Acrylic on Canvas
NSH 2013
... That is all :)
