TIME TO FLEX .......... JUST A LITTLE

9/27/2013

I love wigs truly I do but as a stylist I must showcase my skills not only on my clients but on myself as well. Keeping that in mind I decided to put my wigs down and do a new style in my hair. The style I decided to do was Crochet Braids a method used to interlock fake hair into your real hair that is braided down. It's an awesome protective style option and you can have a partial head of crochet braids like I have or a full head. The option of hair used for crochet braids are endless and I WILL EXPLORE ! Check out the pics below and if you're interested in receiving this service feel free to contact me.

Chow for now,
Artiste Monique

PRODUCT REVIEW: Kreative Konnektions

8/6/2012

I would like to present our Product Review from Kreative Konnektions.
ABOUT THE BRAND:
(Kreative Konnektions originally known as Creations by M.O.M., Kids with a Future, was founded in 1991 in the basement of their home in Bridgeport, CT.by Kandace Murray, Lee Overstreet and Betty Murray.
Three teen entrepreneur sisters from Bridgeport, Connecticut had dreams of becoming a household name by providing beautiful, unique one of a kind pieces of jewelry to the public. What started out as a basement dream by
three sisters over twenty years ago is now Kreative
Konnektions a Hamden, CT. based family owned and operated business run by Kandace and Joyce Murray.
All designs are handcrafted with you in mind. (source: KreativeKonnektion.com.
MY REVIEW:
Small ringlets of silver, black and gray were assembled by hand to create a bracelet and a set of needle point earrings. I like the fact their bracelet has the magnet closure SUPER CONVENIENT and although I do not have my ears pierced the needle tip earrings they sent were assembled nicely as well. The owner also made it her duty to contact me to make sure I recieved my package so their customer service is SUPERB !! I did visit their website and they have remarkable ORIGINAL HAND MADE pieces that are worth checking out !! Overall Kreative Konnektions gets a FABS UP from Artiste Monique. All the best as you continue to build your brand.

POLISH REVIEW : LO'REAL GROW STRONG

4/19/2012

So I stopped by my local Dollar Tree store in Hamden and came across this nail polish by L'OREAL. I'm a sucker for pink and this color called Orchid Brilliance definitely had me wanting to give it a try and it was only a dollar WHAT THE HEY !!! I'll try it. The polish had a decent texture wasn't too thick or thin. I applied it once and it gave a very light pink cast over my nail. So I decided to put a second coat and the pink showed a little more. Overall I like the polish. Check out my hand below.

Anniversary Night !!!!

3/31/2012

So today is my 6th year marriage anniversary. Although I am a natural I decided to break out another blonde wig (me in blonde just looks so fierce) with a simple outfit for a mellow evening with my love. Nothing extravagant just simple yet cute. I wore the following:
Tribal print top
Long fitted black skirt
chestnut platform pumps
Black waist belt (I had a different color one on but I just LOVE my black one)
I have yet to wear a shorter skirt, but once again I do enjoy the long fitted ones

Lady in Red !!!

3/12/2012

I attended a wedding reception with my sister and decided to wear the following:
Black waist Jacket
3/4 drape black top
Black waist belt
Red long skirt
leopard platform heels
I decided to wear one of my fierce Blonde wigs and sealed the outfit with a rich red lip.
The lovely women standing next to me is my sister and the adorable young lady next to her is the groom's niece. It's been years since I've worn a skirt (I'm sure you're surprised) so this red one put me back into the swing of things.
More OOTD (outfit of the day. for those who don't know what OOTD means) to come ..
Chow for now,
Artiste Monique
