Some recent pics

No gel, nothing extra just Darcy's Botanicals Curling Cream Gel


Darcy's Botanicals again

I got bored and decided to do a brown smokey eye, unfortunately the colors are never as vibrant on my camera


My go-to everyday look

Ooo! Look at those gorgeous eyes. I wish I had the patience to pull off a smokey eye, but I always get distracted or bored as I'm trying to teach myself to do it properly, ahaha...one of these days!

Aww, Thanks Jess! I never ever do a traditional smokey eye, I cannot for the life of me blend black eyeshadow. I've tried and tried. But browns work beautifully, they blend much easier, and are much more forgiving. :)

Wow your hair looks amazing! I've not tried the Darcy's stuff, but maybe I should!

Mrs. Blacksten said...

Thanks Michelle! The Darcy's products that I've used, I really like. The Curling Cream Gel is great, but I took the pic late at night and had nowhere to go. Normally I would've topped it with a gel for extra hold. It looked great, and it was soft, but I'm not sure it would've held up for a whole day. :)

What other products of theirs have your tried? I was thinking about ordering that and their gel and maybe a leave in condish.
My hair is longer than in my pict. -->
Bust still above my shoulders.
but it looks like we have similar hair types.

Hey Michelle,
I've actually used quite a few products from their line, there's a review on my blog of some of the more recent ones that I've used. A couple years ago I used some of their leave-ins, and I liked them. At the time they had several varieties, and they were all good. I've also used their Cleansing Conditioner and Pumpkin Seed Conditioner, both of which I love!
Darcy's products are great quality, and the owner is really nice. :)

Thanks! After I posted my last comment...I remember reading your review post! Duh...I'll blame it on Friday night and a long week. I think I'm going to place an order from her- always looking for my Holy Grail hair product for my curls!

your curls look fantastic! how much of the curl cream gel did you use?

Mrs. Blacksten said...

Hi S-
I used about three quarter sizes to begin with, and then about another quarter sized amount when my hair was about 80% dry. HTH :)
