Wigs
First, what you need to know is that wigs normally do not come prestyled. Most of the time the length and bangs are kept long so you are able to style the wig yourself. (This can be a blessing or a curse.)

The Need to Know About Tattoos
In this day and age, we all know someone who has a tattoo or a lot of them. I myself fall into the category of having many of them.

Is Eco Styler Gel Really Canceled?
WHAT IN THE baby hairs is going on here? The first time I heard about Eco Styler Gel being cancelled, I didn't understand why. This was the only gel I used that could actually lay my natural 4c hair down. It's the only thing that could slick my ponytail back with some beeswax and the only thing that made my curls pop when I decided to do a twist out. I was so over it. When I saw the videos online and articles online, I didn't care about what everyone was saying because this is the only thing I wanted to use.

Independent Brands in Sephora
Disclaimer: If I am wrong about any, then please forgive me on that score. I tried my best. Therefore, take what I list with a grain of salt and do your own research.

10 Beauty Benefits of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a beautiful, transparent gel that derives from the Aloe plant, that contains a plethora of benefits. It was originally grown in Africa and now can be found all around the world, from the Mediterranean to some parts of The United States. Over the course of history, it has been used in many different ways across many different cultures. In fact, this plant is so amazing that almost 6,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians deemed it the “plant of immortality.” It is believed that Egyptian [and beauty] queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti used it in their daily beauty routines.

7 Makeup Products that Broke the Internet. Top Story - August 2018.
The first thing I think of when I think viral makeup is the infamous Kylie Lip Kit. Kylie Jenner launched her beauty brand on November 30, 2015, with the $29 lip kits (pairs of matte liquid lipsticks matched with a lip liner in nude, pink and brown) selling out immediately at Kylie Cosmetics. The internet couldn't get enough, with the lip kits quickly becoming the must-have lip product of the year. Since then, Kylie has expanded her brand to a whole range of products and collections, launching collaborations with Khloe and Kris as well as birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, and holiday collections. Whilst these have also sold at record rates, it can't be denied that the lip kit was the viral trend that started it all.
