Glass-Like Shine, High Coverage, … curated on LTK

I love a good nude lip combo, and these are some of my favorite nude lip products for black women 🍫🤎.

For reference, I wear the NARS soft matte foundation in the shade Marquises and I’m 390 in Fenty beauty.

My go to lip liner is always Chestnut from MAC 🙌🏾✨

#AD Let's do these gingerbread Christmas nails! 🎄🤎✨ I'm using the extra thick medium square nails that Novo Ovo sent me, and these are my fave clear nails from Amazon.

The nails come pre-etched, which helps they stay on longer and they fit really well. The first time I tried them, they stayed on for 3 weeks! 🙌🏾😩

This is my second time working with chrome powder, and I got this one in a set of four on SHEIN for $2.

You don’t have to just stick to traditional holiday colors for your festive outfits. Incorporating elements like rhinestones, feathers, fur, or velvet, all add a festive touch regardless of your color scheme ✨.

So you want to start doing your nails at home? I got you! 💅🏾✨ Here’s what should be on your Christmas wishlist, if you want to start doing your nails at home 🎅🏾🎄.

This is what I use to make my own press on nails with gel polish.

After I make them, I apply them with my favorite nail glue. I got all these things on Amazon!

1. Nails lol. Your choice. I like the BTArtBox Tips because they have a lot pre-designed nails so you don’t need base gel polish. If you use the clear Novo Ovo nails (my fave clear nail tips), you’ll need base gel too.

2. Nail Stands. I use these because I’m making press on nails, to avoid putting my hands under the nail lamp.

3. Gel Polish. Your choice! I like this set of skintone shades by Beetles, it has some essential shades.

4. Builder Gel and Top Coat. The builder gel strengthens and hardens the nails, the top coat is applied at the very end.

5. Gloves. I prefer to wear gloves so I can make sure I don’t get any gel on my skin while I’m working on my nails. Safety first!

6. Nail Lamp. I use this beginner-friendly UV and LED nail lamp by SUNUV to cure my press on nails.

7. Lint Free Nail Wipes. I use these to clean my nails with rubbing alcohol before and after working on them.

8. Rhinestone Glue & Rhinestones (or nail charms) if you want to add some bling to your nails ✨

It’s wash day! 🧖🏾‍♀️🚿I picked up the K18 leave in molecular repair mask to try today, as I get ready for my next silk press and sew in appointment.

I try to stay on top of my treatments with my at home natural hair care routine, and I picked up this mask because it’s supposed to help repair damage from heat, bleach, and chemical services.

This is a four minute leave in treatment, so it should be quick and easy. I’ll report back on how it goes!

This could be a great gift idea for the silk press princess on your list! 👑💁🏾‍♀️🎁✨

For Day 4 of my 12 Days of Christmas Outfits, I’m styling this l plaid skirt 🎅🏾🎄✨. I love incorporating plaid into my holiday outfits!

I got this burgundy lace up top from SHEIN (size 6), and it comes with a cropped sheer shrug. I recommend sizing up like I did, because the shrug is very snug, however, the shirt itself is quite stretchy (also sizing up in this lace up top was better for my chest lol).

I added my burgundy fur cuffs from Amazon ($15!), to elevate the look of the top ❤️.

To finish off the look, I wore opaque burgundy, tights, my strappy burgundy heels from SHEIN (true to size), and a gold rhinestone clutch.

For Day 4 of my 12 days of Christmas Oufits, I’m styling this green plaid blazer that I got from SHEIN ($11!)🎅🏾🎄✨. This is such a festive, fabulous, and classy holiday outfit!

I’m wearing the blazer in a size 6, and it is big on my waist so I will probably take it in at some point.

To elevate the look of the blazer, I added these burgundy fur cuffs (Amazon!), and these are a must have accessory for holiday outfits 🎄🦌✨. They come in all different colors!

To complete my look, I went with a white button down (size 4, true to size), red sequin shorts (size 4, stretchy and true to size), burgundy tights, burgundy strappy heels (true to size), and a gold rhinestone purse (TJMaxx ❤️✨).

12 Days of Christmas Outfits 🎄✨ for todays holiday outfit, I’m leaning into the red sequin shorts trend ❤️.

I’ve seen a lot of different red sequin shorts everywhere for Christmas party outfits 🎅🏾🦌✨ and I like this pair from SHEIN because they were not too short lol. They are stretchy, I am wearing them in a size small.

It was hard to find a turtleneck that was an exact match, but this red turtleneck from Amazon was the closest I found (size S).

I got opaque burgundy tights at Target, and matching strappy heels from SHEIN as well.

I finished the look with a red wide headband from SHEIN, an old fur jacket from ZARA, my Louis Vuitton toiletry pouch, and a gold necklace.
