Heartbreak Hotel: Maintaining Integrity In The Makeup World

lips image


You know, there's a reason why you NEVER see negative reviews of products on Nouveau...It's because I absolutely DO NOT condone the spread of negativity.  If I don't like it, you will not hear me talk about it.  If you are an OG follower, you will recall my instant love affair with Juvia's Place several years ago.  as soon as they hit the scene, I was immediately smitten with the insane pigmentation and shadow quality; I could not sing her praises loud enough, and as new products have come out, I snapped them up ASAP.  I was all too thrilled to revisit an old favorite...



Because I steer clear of controversy, it's not strange that I was completely unaware of all the dramatics recently surrounding the brand it's owner, Chi Chi Eburu.  So much so, that I logged on to the site 2 weeks ago to make another purchase.  After checkout, I headed over to YouTube to see what the beauty community had to say about my newest acquisitions.  It was then I was finally made privy to the filth...OMFG, my head was spinning from all the bullsh**t!!   Below I have included two videos that give you the gist of the drama in the most educated and unbiased way possible, because you KNOW The Queen does not subscribe to foolishness, and won't be getting into the mess here.  HOWEVER, each person has the right to be an informed consumer.  



Upon concluding my research, I have PAINFULLY reached the personal decision NOT to repurchase from the brand simply because I do not condone public shaming and/or bulling on any level.  It is absolutely unacceptable to utilize malice for personal gain.  This has absolutely NO bearing on the quality of the product.  As a matter of fact, the products are just as sensational (if not better!) as ever.  I have chosen to still post the reviews of the items I purchased, as my coin CANNOT be wasted; and provide an honest opinion based solely on product and performance.  Here at Queenkhira.com, we uplift, promote, celebrate, and grow any and all who have beautiful energy and a spirit of positivity; all others can kindly continue to scroll; this is NOT the place for you...~The Queen

Crystals and Couture

  Those just might be my 2 favorite C words known to man!  With the start of a new year, it's only right I acquire a little bit of both!  I've had my eyes peeled for the past few weeks for all of the best sales; I had my heart set on a new piece of Rainbow Tourmaline and Rose Quartz(see below for crystal properties and uses if you aren't familiar!).  At the same time, I have also been dreaming of some new bags; crossbodys and a satchel, to be specific; a little on the fancy side though.  All of my work was not in vain because guess what?!  Marshall's is now carrying Badgley Mischka handbags and wallets-mike drop...but it gets even BETTER-not one item is priced over $29.99!!  Wait, What?!  Yes Please!!  Amazon has 1 lb of Raw Rainbow Tourmaline AND Rose Quartz for under $15.00.  I also came across a National Geographic Rock Polisher for $39.99!!  Your girl is absolutely THRILLED!!  What crystals do you have your eye on?!  Have you guys come up on any superstar purse deal

You Only Owe YOURSELF

I had an epiphany the other day... What if we put all the energy we expel on others that is foolishly wasted BACK into ourselves, our life dreams, and into creating the world we CHOOSE to live in??!! Before we all become hopelessly selfish and self-involved, re-read, and take in the thought in its ENTIRETY!!!  I am talking SPECIFICALLY in instances where your positive energy, time, and effort are not being reciprocated. There are so many situations we find ourselves in to which we develop an animosity of sorts towards those we are actively trying to help when we don’t feel that same energy being returned to us in one form or another.  Yet, we are taking umbridge with the wrong individual.  The person we should be focusing those feelings is right there waiting on the other side of the mirror.  That is who entangled you and your resources to an individual making moves to which your higher self is not in agreement.  This is who we should look to for explanation and a game

The Queen Iz Back!!!!

The Queen Iz Back I been gone for a min, now I'm back with tha jump off! As per my most recent tweet upon return from a much-needed disconnection to the digital era, sometimes you need to chill out, kinda disappear for a while when things don't seem to be going right. Its always a good idea to check yourself every once and a while. I'm glad I got that off my chest. With that bein said..... So, most recently, I had the most Preposterous experience at a downtown club that shall remain nameless for revenue liablity purposes. Ok, so I had had really long day of riding in the car, scouring the outlet in a frantic effort to prepare the Princess for this "kidnapping her paternal grandmother had concocted for the next 4 days. So naturally, after being lost on I-26 for about 45 min prior to arriving at the rendezvous point, I was in no mood to get fly and go hang out with the BKs. By no means was I about to punk out, so I sucked it up, found the most faboulous Farrah hair I hav
