I have one copy of The Afro Hair and Beauty Bible, written by Alison Husbands – the new must have beauty book for women of colour, up for grabs for one lucky reader.
Do you find your natural hair lacks bounce and curl definition? Struggling to keep your relaxed hair from breaking at the slightest touch?
If you’re after tips and advice on how to care for or improve your skin and hair routines, then this is the book for you. You’ll find recommended products that are readily available to buy in the UK. There are make up recommendations thrown in for good measure too.
To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question and leave your email address in the comments box:
“Which 3 products do you rely on to keep yourself looking gorgeous?”
The giveaway ends at 12pm (GMT) Saturday 12th June 2010 . This giveaway is open to both my UK and international readers.
First it would have to be my Origins Matte scientist moisturiser. I have frightfully oily skin and this used both day an night has really helped keep my skin in matte condition. A good moisturizer that matches your skin is essential, dare I say more important than foundation.
Secondly, Nars Creme blush in Cactus Flower. It is simply stunning an instant prettifier.
Lastly, I cannot style my hair without keracare silken seal! Keeps my hair looking fab without excess oil!
Those are my top 3:)

The three products I rely on are…
1. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant. Amazing for any dry skin and I use it on my lips all the time.
2. Redken Anti Snap. My hair is super brittle from relaxing in the past and this helps keep it smooth and stronger after every wash.
3. Laura Mercier under eye concealer. I have just recently started using this but it's not drying like all the other concealers I have recently tried and works on all other blemishes too!

1. Vaseline. You can use this for everything! Moisturizing lips, face, body, taking off makeup etc.
2. Coconut oil. This does wonders for moisturizing my natural hair.
3. MAC Zoom Lash Mascara. This mascara makes my lashes pop! I adore it.

2. Garnier duo-phased makeup remover for sensitive eyes – removing waterproof makeup like a dream
3. Nyx lipgosses – the squared ones – he best opaque l/g I have tried so far.
Don't want the book for myself since I'm white hahah, but wanna give it to my sweet cousins of colour. My daughter is half-black but too young to read 🙂

oooh great giveaway!!!
1) My first product would be the Orange Flower Facial Polish by Neals Yard. This has become a firm favourite of mine. When I first saw the pricetag I was like “£14.50? You're 'aving a bubble luv =|” but after much persuading, i bought it and haven't looked back since. It's amazing for treating my dry skin and keeps my skin looking extremely clear and minimizes my pores.
2) Rimmel's 24hour black Kohl eyeliner. I use this on my waterline to give my eyes a more..catlike appearence as my eyes are very circular. Lasts all day, even when you cry! lmfao
3) Yves Saint Laurant False Cils Mascara. Hollywood Glamour for the win! Gives my lashes a 'false lash' effect and does not clump. I use a lot of this stuff as i love to accentuate my best feature which i feel are my eyes.
Great giveaway, I'm definitely in need of tips so would love to win! Firstly, I love my keracare Glossifier for my dodgy dry scalp, Mary Kay Highlighting pen for all those dark circles due to late night internet browsing and my Carmex cherry flavoured lip balm.
1 – My lip gloss in pink or brown shades. I always have a few with me. The brand does not matter as long as it feels good on my lips and the colour is what I like.
2 – Red Fox and Palmers cocobutter. my skin loves both brands.
3. Eco Styler gel to slick my edges on my head top. love this stuff

1. Olay Daily Moisturizer for my dry face – nothing works better!
2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation for perfect skin
3. MAC Ladyblush Blushcreme for a rosy glow!
