BITZY Nail Polish! The good, the bad, the CONFETTI!!!

Before I begin, I want to start off by saying I'm a huge fan of BITZY Cosmetics! So this blog is in no way an attempt to down play the fairly new brand. But rather to inform my polish lovers and nail addicts across the world about my experience with the pocket-sized colors! I spoke highly about the brand in earlier posts and if I'm still purchasing their products, then obviously BITZY is a cosmetic line I enjoy using. Now don't think for one second they just create nail polish; BITZY provides quality eyeshadows, lip crayons, glosses, eyeliners, carrying cases and so on. And I buy all of it, lol!
So, without further a due, let's go through my short review.

"JUST FAB"
A cool nail color that resembles a metallic gold
and compliments any punk rock chick at heart!
The color consistency and the no streaking leaves
your nails looking rich and fabulous! This gets a 5 star
rating from me.



"SWEETIE PIE"
The name is just as cute as the polish. But had it
been me, I would of named this polish "Birthday Cake".
And then again, I don't make polishes. Yet. One coat of
this delicious looking color is ok, but two coats puts
the icing on the cake! It's beautiful and so perfect for a
fun Spring/Summer nail look. This too gets a 5
star rating in my books.



"KNICK KNACK"
Ha! What a name that fits so well to this dotted
pink & white ambiance! Again, with this color, one
coat was fine, add another layer and you can wear it all
by itself. Although, pairing with a white or pink polish would
look exquisite. But who wants to be boring and do
the obvious! Love, love, love this color!
5 stars of course.



"FUNKY MELON"
Looking at the bottle your like cool! But if your into
nails like me, then you know for darn sure this polish
won't go on as good as it looks in the bottle. And the name fits
it just right, FUNKY! You had to put on multiple layers to achieve
getting any of the colorful confetti onto the nail. Your better off
using this nail polish as a clear top coat with a dash of
greens, blues, & pinks here and there. Very frustrating when
you buy the polish solely in hopes of designing the nail
with confetti. 2 star rating in my book!



Overall, BITZY Cosmetics Nail Polish is a great solution to switching up from your ol' regular routines of reds, nudes and shrewds, lol. However, be cautious of buying polish with such "add ins" that are hard to show up on your nail. On a good note, the polishes dry rarely fast and has a shine to them even without a topcoat!

Care for your SKIN, like you care for your WEAVE!!!!

I knew the title would get you to read this! And I'm glad it did. How dare you treat your skin with such disrespect? Don't you care about how soft it should feel & bump free it should be up under all that makeup? And even if you don't wear makeup, you should care in general! You condition your weave. You use chemicals that won't dry it out or break it down. So why not do the same for your face! Why not give that same respect for your weave, to your skin? 
Facials are important, and your skin matters! Here, I touch on a few pure & organic items that work miracles on your skin! It's imperative you take care of the one thing people see first when they meet you, YOUR FACE! Now this doesn't mean neglect your weave, lol, however, treat your skin with some love! Look & feel younger without using harmful products or caked on makeup!


Here are some Organic & Pure Key 
Products I use when providing a facial 
skin care service to my clients.



Well, let's start with the basics. I touched on these
Alba Botanica products in an earlier blog post, 
but felt the need to exaggerate the importance
of them in this blog! The items below are your first
steps when conducting a facial. You have your cleanser,
exfoliant, and moisturizer (used after you complete facial).  
I use Alba Botanica because it's loaded with vegetarian ingredients & packaged using 100% recycled products.



Now, to the really, really good stuff! Well it's
all good stuff, but boy does this Moroccan Red Clay 
Powder work magic on sensitive skin! This
bad mama jama is awesome for detoxification. 
Sensitive skin especially has great need for
removal of toxics & impurities, as well as smaller
pores and tighter skin. Can be used for all 
sensitive skin types!



Activated Charcoal! Nooooo, you can't bbq 
with it. But you can sizzle away other nasty
stuff! Nature's Answer created this beautiful
jar of capsuled charcoal to draw bacteria, poisons,
chemicals, dirt, and other micro-particals to the 
surface of the skin. Helping you to achieve a 
flawless complexion & fight against acne. 
It can also be used to treat poisonous bites &
disinfect some wounds! Charcoal is not metobalized
and will not be absorbed by the body. Use one
capsule per facial; it can be mixed with your clay 
mask, or oatmeal mask. 



Oatmeal! What a beautiful & useful substance!
Oatmeal does so many wonderful things
for our body & to our body. Best when it's raw
& uncooked. Works marvelous on all skin types
but acne sufferers can benefit from it, as it
contains an antimicrobial ingredient, which 
inhibits the spread of bacteria and soaks up excess
oil. Creating oatmeal masks can be moisturizing
for the skin without clogging pores. It has 
inflammatory properties as well as soothing
irritated, itchy, dry skin. Can also be used as a mild 
soap, as it contains "saponins", which is a 
cleansing agents. Use warm water until a pasty-like
 mixture is created and apply all over the face.



Rose Water is amaze balls! Literally! 
It's anti-inflammatory properties help 
reduce redness of irritated skin, gets rid
of acne, dermatitis & eczema! It's a great cleanser
& aids in removing oil and dirt accumulated
in clogged pores. You can mix inside your facial
mask, or spray on mist before applying your
moisturizer. I use this on me & my daughter.
We both have dry skin/eczema & since I've
started this we haven't had any itchy breakouts!
Drinking lots of water also helps!



Toner! Who doesn't need firmer, 
tighter skin? Put this to use after
a full facial. It gets rid of facial soaps, oils 
& dead skin cells. Also helps to restore 
natural pH balance to the skin. Inside this Burt's
Bees toner is tomato, cucumber, and parsley.
Ingredients like these extracts a deep clean, 
and tightens pores. Leaving your face feeling,
smoother, firmer & more finely-textured.
This product is for all skin types but especially
beneficial for oily & troubled skin types!




So now that you've learned quite a bit about the importance of facials, will you make it your duty to take care of your skin alot better? Please note, these products work best if used with on a consistent basis. A facial should be conducted weekly, along with drinking plenty water & keeping clean pillow cases! 
The world is a stressful place, don't have your skin look like what you've been through. Makeup is fun; it's an addition to beauty, but true external beauty is what you look like without it! Be good to your skin!
