Last week I had the best time at the Chicago Beautiful Textures Press Party. It was an extra special event, because I was hired to do makeup and by working behind the scenes, I am able to keep you up to date on what’s happening in the natural hair world. I showed up with my makeup kit and video recorder so I could capture all of the excitement.

Beautiful Textures is not yet available in stores, but will be by the end of the year. We were treated to great gift bags filled with product. I tried the product on Saturday and I already have a favorite. The Curl Control Defining Pudding has a light texture and smells great.

It’s always great to see some of my fellow Chicago bloggers and Youtubers. Check out the video for my interview with Kim Walker, who is the hair stylist responsible for all of the beautiful styles you see in the photos. You can get free samples of the product line before it hits the shelves by attending the Nia Naturals Event. Register here.
