Are you tired yet?

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen!!!

Do you want a new car?
                   
                         A new House ...

                                   A new Weave or whatever you have on you want list!!!


Well check out this link below!

You may think it's a scam and I thought it was at first.  This lady and her husband I knew for a long time have been doing it and been promoting it to people.  I always thought it was a scam but for them to prove it to me that it wasn't they paid that $18 to get started. I made around $500 dollar but it will get bigger if you keep going!!!! I hope you check it out and message me below for more info.


You are tired so look into it!!!! I was scared to make money online but this is legit.

Yours truly,
Dear Koren



Are you tired yet! Make $$

Longer Crochet Hair


Makeup Done by DearKoren

Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted lately. I have so much school work and I got a new job. The college life!  Well here is my new installation of crochet braids longer than my usual.  It's the same hair I used in my shorter crochet braid style "Freetress Deep Bohemian". I used 5 packs of hair for this style.  This is my favorite protective style and it only took me 4 hours. The hair quality itself is alright, it sheds and get matted in 4 weeks as I remember. The better care you give it the longer your hair will look nice.  

I will be posting soon ... keep checking out my page(:

I'm a curl girl too!


I'm a Curl Girl! 






My Curl pattern is pretty much an 3c/4a fine texture.

I don't wear my hair out much but i'm trying to wear it out more. 
I've been natural for almost 5 years! Isn't it beautiful?  I will list a few of the products I use on my hair below.  

Why did I go natural?

(My hair with the Wave Noveau Curl Perm) 

Freshmen year of high school, I wanted to wear my real hair out.  I always wear braids or weave when I was younger. I found out about this hairstyle called the "Wave Noveau".  I loved my big, loose curls it was so lustrous and wonderful.  Yes, it was a curl perm! O how I regret putting this harmful substance in my hair.  I went to the shop every 6 months and to get this done to my hair.  One day the lady was rushing to get home and left chemicals in my hair.  I didn't know until a week went past that she left chemicals in my hair.  When I started combing my hair it fell out like I had alopecia.  I had to just keep combing my hair and wash it out until my hair stop falling out.  I lost a lot of thickness on the right side of my hair because that's where it fell out the most. I still had length but it doesn't mean nothing if you have thin hair.  I had to go get a big chop and she still put that curl perm back in my hair.  That was the last day going back to the shop and putting that perm back in my hair.  I let the perm wear out and went back to the braids.  That's when I became natural.  

Did the perm mess up my growth? 
The perm did kind of mess up my growth on the right side where it mostly fell out at.  Since its year five since I've been natural I have a few thin spots but it is growing back slowly.  I give it another 5 years until it gets fuller.  



I'm not a natural hair expert on hair but here go a few products that I used.

Moisturizer: 

Shampoo: 

Conditioner: 

Deep Treatment: 

Co-Wash: 

Styling Products: 

Everything not so expensive and just right!!! You don't need a pantry full of hair products.  Stick to the few you have!  Hope you like! I will post my regime and hair styles later(: 

You can ask me more questions, give advice, tell me your story and much more  by commenting below!!!! I Love when I hear from different people on their view of natural hair.

H&M Lip Gloss and Lip Tint Review


H&M Lip Gloss and Lip Tint 




You and Me (Lip Gloss) 


Tangerine Lip Tint ( I can't find this any where)



Only for the Best (Lip Gloss) 

I discovered these lip tints and lip glosses at my local H&M store.  They were all marked down on clearance for a dollar.  I was kind of thinking if the product is really worth getting and is it a good quality.  Until I saw the regular price on these bad boys I started to search youtube and that's when I went on an haul.  Youtube had many great reviews on lip tints and lip glosses.  I'm so excited that I didn't put down such a great offer because they're actually good quality. I believe that this lip gloss can be a dupe for one of the Mac lip gloss colors.  The lip gloss is very pigmented, kind of sticky and moisturizing.  The Lip tints are very nicely pigments, it moisturizing, it's kind of matted and it's cream base.  I recommend the lip tints for anybody that loves to wear bold colors.  I'm sorry guys that I couldn't find some of the products I have for you to purchase. I guess they are limited edition.  I'm glad I bought mine! hopefully you can find some and keep looking at your local H&M clearance area.  DearKoren <3

Unplanned Haul : Body Central out of Business Sale!

Yes ! Body Central is going out of business and it's sad! I just heard about it today.  Man, that was my favorite store to get my beautiful statement jewelry.  Body Central's sale is buy one get one free.  They didn't mark anything down which I wish they did but it's a wonderful sale because their not overly price. They're also selling mannequins and I am going to purchase an two to do some room artwork.  Check and see if your area has an Body Central store and go shop until you drop.  The sale and the store closes tomorrow.  1/11/2015 

Some items I purchase today. Maybe this will tempt you to find your local Body Central. 

So I like to buy jeweler that is unique and shows a fierce and fiery fashion statement. I can't buy regular looking jewelry because if body central sold plain looking jewelry it would of stayed in the store.  What I like about Body Central the most is their jewelry.  In my opinion, I believe they should come back as jewelry store because their items are so flawless.  Here are a few of the items I purchased on my unplanned Jewelry Haul.



Buy one get one free total $40 
It's not bad if you are an Jewelry-aholic !!! 

I can't seem to find any links to any of these items  but if I do I will update this post(:

Torrid be running some good sales!

Here are some shoes I got at the store Torrid under $10 .... 

Hey Everyone! I wanted to tell you a shoe shopping secret.  I always stay on the lookout when I find my nice dress shoes or casual shoes. As most of you know Torrid is one of those high end stores for plus size women. I personally just go in there for the shoe sales. However, During different periods throughout the year the store Torrid runs sales on their clearance items.  Sales like 50% of the red tag and 30 % of the yellow tag.  Some shoes marked red tag usually run between $30-$2.  I remember buying some shoes  that were $2 and I got half off on them.  I only bought them to bless somebody that really needed some shoes even though I wanted them.  I already have so much junk so why not bless another.  The yellow tag is really not in the budget range i'm looking for but they run between $40-$20.  Torrid does not just run clearance sales on shoes.  There sales are on clothes, accessories, shoes and much more. If you are not plus size I still recommend you to go in there to purchase some shoes because there shoes sizes start at 5.  So the sale is still running ... go check it out!!!  Below is a few of my shoe purchases from Torrid. 




 
I bought these for $10

I Bought these for $8.

My favorite!!! They may look grandma-ish but when you rock them they are fabulous!!! I bought these for $2.95.  I Should of got another pair in case something happen to them. Heehee, Silly me(:

The New Urban Decay Electric Palettes and Full Face Makeup

Urban Decay Electric Palette Review ... 

 


Hey Everyone! This is my first time using and trying this palette.  I got it on Black Friday for $50.  The price is kinda up there and its not in my price range but I said I'll treat myself because I always wanted this palette.  The colors in the Urban Decay electric palette is very nicely pigmented and for a dark complexion gal it came out wonderful.  The eye shadow does not fall on my face as much and it is also easy to take off.  I know that my makeup is very pronounce but that is the way I wanted to put it on.  I could of put on a nude lipstick to balance it so you can see the eye shadow. I also could of just did a neutral eye shadow look and put on the blue lipstick. Hopefully you understand that I know the blue is too much but don't make it a BIG DEAL! I was just having fun with my makeup and the colors.  I hope everyone love this look!  I recommend that you get this product. The price might be steep but it's because of the good quality! Treat yourself Ladies and remember to love yourself always! Don't let nobody take the light from you, just be yourself! 


My Full Face Makeup 

What I used: 

Eyes: Urban Decay Electric Palette, Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer Potion, Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner Rimmel, Kiss Luxury Eyeliner

Eyelashes: Scandaleyes Retro glam mascara 

Eyebrows: Jumbo Eye Pencil (Dark Brown), Black Radiance Concealer (Light to Medium)

Face: Elf Mineral Concealer (Deep- used as a foundation), Loreal Visible Lift blur concealer (302 Light Clair (High Light)), Black Radiance Concealer Stick (8003- Contour)   

Lips: Ruby Kisses Ultra Matted Lipstick (Blue Lagoon)

My 2015 New Years Resolution

My little News Years Haul .... 

 

I went to my local 5 below store and picked up some awesome goodies.  A shirt that I can wear to my zumba class that says "I don't sweat, I sparkle" and a planner to track down my weight loss process.  There both from 5 below and they were both $5.  You don't need to go out there and spend all that money on weight loss stuff knowing some people might fall of track.  A big waste of money in my opinion.  The book is wonderful and I will be going into little detail on it.
