Shea Moisture African Black Soap Face and Body Bar

Today I will be doing a review on Shea Moisture's African Black Soap Face and Body Bar. I bought this product about two weeks ago. I figured I would try it out since all the ingredients are all natural and it's for dry and acne prone skin. Since it is getting cold and my skin likes to lose a lot of moisture during the cold months I decided to try it.
My first impression of the soap is that it smelled really good and the scent wasn't over bearing. Which is good because I like to use scented lotions as well. Secondly it lathers up very well with my exfoliating sponge and you don't have to use much of it. For the small size of the bar it's a great buy for the prize. Washing the soap off it leaves you with a squeaky clean feeling like has gotten all the dead skin of your body; another plus there. As for the moisturizing feeling it's there but I suggest you follow up with a quick absorbing organic lotion like any other soap. I noticed a change in my skin as well I used to get pimples on my chest sometimes and the ones I had went away and no new ones have popped up since I started using it. As helping the face with acne it does it's job but I must warn you DO NOT get even a little bit of this soap in your eyes talking about a burn you've never felt before!
With all that I have observed since using this soap I give it an 8. One because it's organic and it does what it says it's going to do. It is available at Target and costs around 5 dollars, I believe it will last me more than a month so it is worth the price. Hope this review helps and if you have any questions feel free to comment!

Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls Review

REVIEW/RANT: Tried Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls last night. I gonna be completely honest I severely don't like this product! 
CONS
1. My hair smells like fabric softener, it's really annoying it's kinda making me nauseous because it is so STRONG. Every time I turned my head I got a big smell. I washed it out the very next day 
2. My hair de
finitely doesn't have a lot of definition like I like it. Keep in mind that I have type 4a hair which is very coily. It just made my hair big afroish no since of defiinition.
3. After my hair dried my hair got really frizzy.
4. I looked at the ingredients and Miss Jessie's says it's their most natural product, their were still a whole bunch of ingredients that I didn't recognize and that scared me. I like to go for more organic type products like the Shea Moisture line.


PROS
1. My hair is really soft like it doesn't have any products in it.
2. It didn't leave residue in my hair.
3. You don't have to use a lot. I got 2 packs and I only used 1.
With all these pros and cons listed I give this product a 4. I don't like it, and it doesn't suit my hair texture. Pillow Soft Curls is NOT a good product for definition on type 4 hair, or hair textures that don't have a lot of definition by it's self. I definitely will not be buying this product again and I'm giving the other free sample packet away. So glad I didn't have to pay for it or I would be severely heated. Also irritated that it got such good reviews on YouTube I really don't see how! I think I'm giving up on Miss Jessie's products it just doesn't do good for my hair.
