Sister Taliah's Naturals


Sister Taliah's Natural sent over these two beauties for me to review.
I'm in love with both of these products.

The Patchouli Infused Raw Black Soap was just amazing!!!! I couldn't get enough of it!
Ingredients:
Aqua,Cocoa pod ashes,Plantain skin ashes,Palm Oil,and Patchouli Fragrance Oil.

This Soap can be used for your hair and as hand soap or body wash. Black soap is very versatile and its 100% natural. It can help with dry skin, acne, black heads and many more.
I used this soap for everything. It only took me a month to use the entire bottle because I used it for my face,body and hair. A little goes a long way. It was deep cleansing,moisturizing and I loved the scent. I couldn't get enough of it! I brought it with me on vacation and my Mother loved it as well. It cleared up some of my blemishes and helped with my oily skin. It's an affordable natural soap that is multipurpose... You can't beat that.

The Jamaican Black Castor Oil with Peppermint 

This oil was honestly one of the best Jamaican Black Castor Oils I have ever used! This Castor Oil is amazing for your skin. I've been using it for over 2 months along with The Black Soap and my dry but also oily skin has progressed. I also have a dry itchy scalp and using this as a hot oil treatment gave me amazing results. My scalp issues cleared up within a little over a week! I also sometimes use this oil as a cuticle oil and it helped strengthen my nails. I feel this is another multipurpose product. I even experienced some hair growth from using this. I recommend this oil to any and everyone. It can help with all of your problems and even help those who are trying to thicken their eyebrows and elongate their eyelashes.

Review: Follicleanse


I received Follicleanse Shampoo,Conditioner DS, and a 3 month supply of Hair Growh Vitamins from The Wonderful Follicleanse to review. I just started my journey with the Vitamins and I will keep you guys updated with my progress.

The Shampoo and Conditioner was created for those with normal-to-dry hair and scalp. It has Emu oil as one of the key ingredients and the products claim to help with moisture, hydration, dry scalp,itching and flaking. 

Now as for my experience... I enjoyed these two babies a ton.

The Shampoo 
Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Betaine, Amidex C-CM, Fision Hair Moisture Complex (Hydrolyzed Keratin, Collagen Amino Acids, Wheat Germ Oil, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Linolenic Acid), Emu Oil, Glycerin, Q-Pearl, Silk Protein, Jojoba Oil, Panthenol (Vitamin B Enriched), Germall Plus, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA (anti-irritant), Crothix, Citric Acid

The Shampoo was not drying at all even though it has sulfate in it. My hair didn't feel stripped after using it and it actually provided some moisture. Most shampoos that are deep cleansing like this one actually makes my hair very tangled and causes a ton of dryness. I didn't experience those problems with this. My hair felt extremely clean and it also helped soothe my scalp. I like to use a Shampoo with Sulfate in it every few months to give my hair and scalp and clean slate. Sometimes you may not understand why your products don't work anymore or your hair isn't acting the way it used to. It is because you need to wash you hair with a Sulfate shampoo and start fresh. Try it:)

The Conditioner 
Ingredients: Water, BTMS-50 (vegetable-based conditioning emulsifier), Emu Oil, Jojoba Oil, Glycerin (vegetable-based), Germall Plus, Fragrance

The Conditioner was my fav. It was veryyyyy moisturizing, so moisturizing that I tried it as a leave in conditioner and I loved it even more!! I also used it as a co-wash and I felt it was one of the best conditioners to use as a co-wash. The conditioner is multi purpose and I can deff see you guys enjoying it to. I only have a little left and it's breaking my heart lol. Whether I use it as a co wash, rinse out or leave in, it makes my curls pop severely. 

Follicleanse just recently sent me a different Shampoo and Conditioner that I will be reviewing soon. Stay tuned!

Natural Annie Essentials


Natural Annie was gracious enough to send over her Face Scrub and Face Gel for me to review. 

The Face Scrub is pretty addictive. I feel like the Scrub cleansed my skin, detoxified it and helped get rid of its impurities. It left my skin feeling pretty moisturized and very soft. I used it everyday since I received it and loved it. It transformed my skin! It brightened it, made it beautiful and dewy. It did not irritate my skin like most scrubs do. I really enjoyed it and recommend it those who are looking for a non irritating natural face scrub.

The Face Gel was very moisturizing! It didn't leave my skin feeling dry like most moisturizers do. My skin felt very refreshed and relaxed. It didn't leave my skin oily or shiny. It gave it the perfect amount of moisture and left it very soft. I even noticed that it helped with some of the blotchy skin on my face. Sometimes after I use face moisturizers, my skin feels tight, like it didn't provide enough moisture. I didn't experience that with this.

Thanks Natural Annie! I really enjoyed both of these products and will continue to use them for my skin.

My Review 

Now, I'm in loveeeee with everyyyy single one of these products. They are extremely moisturizing and a little goes a long way with every single one of them.  

The Shampoo was amazing! You don't need much and it lathers up a lotttt but doesn't strip your hair like most shampoo's do. So for the girls that love to see their shampoo lather up but don't want their hair to dry out, this is perfect for you! I'm sure this shampoo will last you for 6 months or more. At least it will for me:)! Remember, you don't need much.

The Intense Treatment Masque was heaven! I left it in my hair for about 30 minutes. When it was rinsed out, my hair felt sooooooo moisturized and my curls were very springy and bouncy. It provided so much moisture to my hair and the life of my curls came back after dying them and neglecting them. I'm thinking about using it as a leave in(wink wink).

The Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner is BOMB! It's literally like a shampoo to me! If I don't want the harshness off a shampoo, I can use this. Normally, I could never replace a shampoo with a co-wash cleanser because I don't believe that they cleanse my hair thoroughly. This Co-Wash is a different story. I wouldn't mind replacing this with a shampoo. To me, it cleanses my hair just as well. It also lathers...a lot, which is a plus for me. In my eyes, if it lathers, it's cleansing your hair. 

The Nourishing Leave In Conditioner is by far, one of my favorite leave ins! I usually put tons of leave in conditioner in my hair!  My Curls need the moisture and I didn't need much conditioner when using this. My hair soaked it up, but i still didn't need much, I only needed a dime size in each section. That never happens. It's a light leave in, but it provides tons of moisture. 

I used the Hydrating hair butter after I put in the leave in conditioner. When doing the Loc method(liquid,oil,cream) I sometimes put the cream in before the oil, but in this case, it's The Hydrating Hair Butter. With this, you really only need a little. I only used a little over a quarter size amount for my entire head and my head is big so that says something lol! As for my oil, I just went ahead and used some Jamaican black castor oil to seal in everything. This Hair Butter is extremely moisturizing and helps lock in the moisture from the leave in. I can see myself also using this Hair Butter alone.

The Conditioning Styling Cream was interesting for me because I never really use stylers. Don't get me wrong... I actually enjoyed it! I used this after putting the oil in my hair. It made my curls pop even more ! I didn't think they could pop anymore after putting the Hydrating hair butter in my hair!

This styler doesn't make your hair hard, but it does provide a soft hold. My hair bounces and moves as I turn my head. My hair also blows in the wind. I really enjoyed this styler. A little goes a long way with this also. Hmmm, I may experiment and try this alone also. 

The Quench Curl Refresher was literally number 1 for me. I honestly love allllll of the products with everything in me, but this right hereeeeeeee... Was everything and more! Normally, when I refresh my hair, I have to spritz some water in it, add a moisturizer or leave in, then add some oil or hair butter. Not with The Quench Curl Refresher! I spray this a few times throughout my hair and it gives my curls lifeeeee. It literally brings them back to life! It provides moisture but not too much so it weighs your hair down. It provides moisture and hold, plus it smells amazing! You can't beat that! Now if you do want to spray this, and add some hair butter or an oil after, that's fine. It still shouldn't weigh your hair down. I just don't like tons of product in my hair so using just this to refresh my hair is perfect for me.

My FiancĂ© enjoyed the products as well! She did use every product but the only difference is, she did a twist out, I did a wash and go. 


Let me add that a few weeks later, they also sent me a Bluetooth speaker along with a adorable comb and a tote bag. I'm loving them! 
In conclusion, True By Made Beautiful is nothing but Amazing! These are definitely  products that I will be purchasing in the near future. I honestly can't see myself without them! Normally, I don't care about hold but these products provide moisture and hold. That's a win win! Thanks True By Made Beautiful!!!
