The Captivating style of Ebony Bones!

The British singer, song writer, record producer, and actress, Ebony Bones, has an amazing sense of style that we couldn’t over look. Not only is Ebony musically talented, but she also designs her own clothes even though she says she’s not that into fashion. The lovely Rihanna used one of Mrs. Bones’ original design in her Rude Boy video.

Of course we can’t forget about her amazingly colored mane! The Bounce Organic Curl will give you Ebony’s killer hair style!

Huetiful Hair and Facial Steamer

 

Here at Indique, we’re all about caring for your hair; both real and extensions. This is why we love the Huetiful Hair and Facial Steamer. The steam deeply penetrates your hair, providing maximum hydration and improved manageability. In addition, it strengthens the hair by restoring moisture, which reduces breakage and split ends. It’s great for all textures, and doubles as a facial steamer; perfect for some in-home pampering.  

Around the clock skin Protectant

Don’t let winter fool you, just beacuse you don’t see the sun, or feel the warmth that it brings, doesn’t mean it’s not there. UVA and UVB rays are still present and can be reflected off of snow and glass buildings, causing damage to your skin. Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid-Lotion Sunblock has a mild, lightweight, hypo-allergenic formula. It won’t cause breakouts, look oily under makeup, or clog your pores. So remember, keep your skin healthier, smoother, and younger by not reserving your sunscreen for summer fun, instead use it all year-round for maximum protection.
