Clearer vision: 2020

Hey guys I’m so excited and happy to be announcing we are back and better than ever and we’ll be introducing to some of the new years best new bwbp. Life is so exciting right now, way beyond our beauty…. I mean it’s all beautiful! We can’t wait to share!

Waveformers

Get the waves

I had recently gotten the waveformers that everyone had been raving about and they WERE absolutely amazing.

The only thing that was quite unfortunate was that I found out how thin my hair was during the wave forming(which isn’t actually bad).

I had noticed some shedding in my hair over the past two months and didn’t think much of it until I put the waveformers in and you could literally see through my hair. So now I’m in the hair thickening journey that is not often done in the hair community. I also hadn’t really been complaining about the hair shedding because my hair was now finally easier to manage(shame on me).  But I’m taking responsibility and control of my hair, because I know it’ll translate across many areas of my life. I’m committed.

Bolden for the bold

Had to make a special trip to Target for these bad boys!😗

I’m not going to lie… I have relatively good skin, so I actually think this line is perfect for me. It feels like a maintenance line, and I like to rotate the skincare during the new seasons. I like the scent it’s very pleasant, the packaging is very nice, ideal for everyday use, unlike a lot of organic brands… unfortunately .😿

Very cost effective for those on a

budget, the cleanser and toner on your skin leave your skin feeling so smooth, I couldn’t believe who I was looking at in the mirror. Go grab

Diamonds by Dominique

Great company! And they openly support us! The luxury scrub goes on your skin and feels silky soft and leaves your skin shining bright like a diamond! I have the cocoa diamond but the rubyberry and aquamarine are available for purchase!

Pretty in Glam cosmetics🥰

Pretty in Glam finger hand duo

I ordered from https://www.prettyinglam.com

And my order was shipped in a just a few days! Also it comes in this pretty little bottle, the company is still fairly new so there’s a weak sticker on the front of the bottle😬. No judgements though, we have to realize that black people are basically starting from the bottom and are still being stripped of resources.

Welcome spring!

I’m here for it!

Tea station at DuskEnchantment

Here we welcome spring with open arms, open hearts and an open teapot😂😂😂.

But seriously guys get rid of your old clothes and throw away all the trash you’ve been hoarding. I have to do this to think since I like to make a mess with papers EVERYWHERE. So power yourself and refresh. Try and stock up on the latest of black owned products if you can afford it.

New Post has been published on http://duskenchantment.com/2019/03/15/the-problem-with-non-black-owned-businesses/

The Problem with non black owned businesses

I just got wind that some of the of the brand that we know and love are in fact: NOT BLACK OWNED.

yup these are included are 

Black Radiance brand by Markwins

Black Opal 

Sacha Cosmetics and….

Black Up cosmetics

I have a very big problem with this… because these companies are misrepresenting themselves and tend to be more readily available for consumption than the average black owned brand. I can’t just go into sephora and pick up Mented cosmetics, and although I love having packages mailed,  I’m not a fan of shipping(so sue me).

Black people are not in the position to willy nilly give our money to outside resources. African communities around the world are the POOREST although we have the most resources.

It’s something about people from other cultures who believe we are so dumb as to do whatever they say just because they said it.

And even though the team over at Black Radiance is black managed I cannot allow myself to go on promote it as a black owned product.

I’ve always known of Iman Cosmetics having our back before anybody else thought about us. So that’s i’ll be mostly endorsing from now on.

Plant Power

View this post on Instagram

Beauty is more than what we put on our face and bodies. It's how we treat others. Sometimes we assume that when put things on out bodies that we are treating ourselves well, then we think other will treat us well based on appearance. When go out of our way to do another thing for a human than we are setting the standard for a wonderfully cyclical life of happiness. It's starts at home. Self care, care for family, care for plants, animals, and the world. It may seem hopeless now, but it WILL workout in the end. I'm a plant mom to 4 little plant munchkins and had been neglecting the due to my own #depression but I couldn't leave them like that any longer…. My babies names are Shaniqua, ShoShanna, SheCohnda, and SheNenè… DuskEnchantment.com #blackpower #gentlereminder #blackculture #melaninpoppin #darkskin #weloveblackgirls #melanin #blackwoman #blackgirlsrock #toodarkforwho #blackisbeautiful #blacklives #melaningoals #weareblack #allthingsblack #tooblackforewho #blackpride #blackwoman #iloveblackgirls #nobleach #blackalltheway #africanchild #blackandbeautiful #melanin #melaninslayers #blackslayers #darkskingirls #blackgirlmagic

I wrote a small article the other day on the DuskEnchantment and it went a little like this …

Bringing the New Sexy Back

hey in All! 

Just wanted to let you guys know I’ll be bringing sexy back, yes in fact. I do realize that big hair has been back for some time but I mean BIGGER THAN THAT….

I noticed old school movie stars used to wear big hair and today we have a tendency to wear it flat and sleek. Even in our protective styling we tend to stretch the curl for a flatter look. But then we go and pick the roots….So I’ll be going old school and wearing big hair with a modern twist…

What are we listening to right now? Cali Natives so we’re in love this band. Remind me of home. I suggest you give it a listen because this band was really impressive on the Black Panther soundtrack.

So Much to do and little time to do it in.

Fenty Beauty

Diamonds by Dominique

Beauty Bakerie setting powder

When it comes to your self care needs there can seem like there’s so much to do and very little time to do it in. 

My suggestion is to work from head to toe.

1st. Put your music on

2. light your candle

3.Get that deep conditioning mask in your hair. 

4. Put on the face mask of your choice

5. Dry brush you skin

6. Put your body chemical peel on(optional)

7. Deep condition fingers and toes

8. Get in shower and wash it all off at the same time

9. read your book choice

After following this list accordingly, things should feel significantly easier!

A post shared by FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA (@fentybeauty) on Feb 12, 2019 at 1:33pm PST

I’m an absolute bum for Fenty Beauty since, A. I prefer luxury brands(not a snob I just think I look better in them) and B. It’s Black owned!!!

So suffice to say I love the brand.

But if you really KNOW me, then you know I shop seasonally and themed based. (weirdo) I put away clothes for each season, and thrift new ones, plus I buy season appropriate makeup. Since I actually believe each year has it’s own theme, I generally don’t go back to the old makeup and clothes I had for the previous year(again, Not a Snobb!!!).

Since I bought her stuff last year right on time, I’ll be delaying my purchase till later because my Years them is the “Pink Aquarius”. I’m also waiting because I tend to buy from the entire collection. I’ll give you guys my previous years theme to the types fashion I wore.

Treat yourself don’t cheat yourself.

This past weekend I had a birthday which is why you haven’t heard from me lately. I thought of people liked my pictures on my main insta an even I had gotten fooled for a second as to why I looked absolutely fantastic.  

Since I had been dealing with alot of anxiety and depression from my rugged year. I had been putting in some work, for some major self care, and repair.

I had been eating buttloads of collagen with amino Peptides… in my smoothies every morning with matcha, and occasional BCAA post workout.

Having a glass of ginger lemon water every morning I wake up first thing.

This would usually be my breakfast since I didn’t want to eat heavy in the morning.

When bae asks what you want for Valentine’s Day 💘 Collagen For Her Organic Matcha Collagen is a blend of our unflavored collagen peptides and organic matcha powder. It is sugar free, dairy free, and gluten free plus it contains 10g of protein and 11g of collagen per scoop! Talk about the gift that keeps on giving 😉

A post shared by Collagen For Her (@collagenforher) on Feb 11, 2019 at 11:10am PST

I woke up and put on Sahara Roses podcast and did meditation. Plus watered the plants, and stayed off coffee a bit which is hard BTW. I actually believed it as causing strain in my neck, shoulders, and back. I’d clean up my place, do my skin care routine and really get into the routine on sundays.

When I needed additional collagen I drank bone broth soup, I also had he shou wo everyday in my coffee. I believe all these things contributed to how beautiful I looked on the outside. I recommend this lifestyle change for everyone.
