Hey Nubians,

Hey Nubians,

You Like Hair? SO DO I. 

Therefore I like doing fun things to my hair all the time like using Scünci Hair Chalk.

Sometimes when I don't do something new to my hair, I get overly bored which can get dangerous leading to hair-dye jobs and dry hair etc. These days I like to look for non-permanent solutions which is why I turned to hair chalk.

Hello Nubians,

Every year I'm so very excited to see the cosplayers at New York Comic Con. I've also noticed that every year people are getting more and more creative/innovative with their costumes when it comes to signs, making their own costumes instead of buying ones from the store, and also mixing and matching different characters into one costume which is pretty cool. I can't wait to dress up next year myself, I really want to cook up something special.

This year the lovely and talented Theresa Taylor went behind the lens for NubiasNonsense to show us so of the kooky, crazy, and high spirited cosplayers. Let's take a look at a couple of the magical moments she captured.

Hello Nubians,

As much as New York Comic Con is about panels, artist and well ummm, DUH Comics! They're doing a great job catering to us ladies when it comes to taking a break and pampering yourself.

New York Comic Con already has tons of booths with clothing to feed your fashion needs. The clothing isn't just comic and pop culture related either. You can find some cool vintage booths, victorian inspired garments, and very fashion forward unique japanese looking styles that make my eyes want to fill up with tears while I yell out "KAWAII!" at the same damn time. Cosplayers are also running all over the place for your visual inspiration. Now I'm noticing they're really starting to get the beauty department on lock too.  I was pleased to find the brands below had booths.


NYX Cosmetics
I'm a big fan of NYX cosmetics, remember when I did a video about their Macaron Lippies? Anyway, They have makeup artist adding some awesome pops of colors to your lips and they also have pretty NYX eyeshadows. Pass by their booth #629 to get done up!

Hello my beautiful Nubians,

You all know I'm obsessed with lipsticks right? Makeup can be so much fun! I like to live a little and try something bold and a little crazy every so often and that's why I love the NYX Cosmetics Macaron Lippie Lipsticks. Bright purples, blues, turquoise, black, yellows, pink.... so many not so everyday colors that you can get creative with.

I find a lot of people get scared when trying these colors out but don't be! Life should be all about trying new things and putting yourself out there even with makeup, go for it. Plus these colors all have a beautiful satin matte finish which doesn't hurt.

Below you'll see me review my 2 favorite colors from the NYX Macaron Lippie Lipstick collection as of yet, Blue Velvet and Violet.

Hello Nubians,

I just wanted to share this quick hair tutorial I posted on my instagram today for some fun curls in minutes. Being that us business women are always on the run it's hard to look great everyday, sometimes we need to prep ahead of time



How To Achieve These Curls

What you'll need: Foam rollers and a wave boar bristle brush you can find at your local beauty supply store.

Step 1: For these Farrah Fawcett -esque curls you'll have to use your rollers to roll your hair outward away from you face the night before. You'll have to sleep with these rollers on which in my opinion isn't that uncomfortable at all because they're foam. The tighter you curl them the more volume you'll have the next morning. 

Step 2: When you wake up, take out your rollers and brush your hair out with the boar bristle brush. This brush won't destroy your curls but rather add texture and volume to your hair. Get creative with how you brush it out for volume. 

Step 3: Run your finger through it and organize the curls. If you'd like you can add some spray for hold (personally I don't, still last fine for me.) Then Wala! Look achieved. 

This process when you wake up should take you no more than 10 minutes. Ideal for us working gals am I right?!
