Look Of The Day | Pretty in Pink

Holla Bellas,

Hope you had an awesome weekend? I did and I am excited to start a new week

So  I decided to do a look using only shades of pink. Initially I thought it was gonna be too matchy matchy, but it still came out beautifully. I totally love how it turned out. And I definitely love how the photos came out too.{though some are kindly blurry, oh well...}

Product Review | Maybelline Fit Me Matte +Flawless foundation

Holla!!!

How are y'all doing? So I am back again today You're surprised right? you can say I'm on fire and i'ts probably cos at some corner in my brain I'm being prompted to make up for lost time. I'm shocked I got so caught up with life that I literally forgot about the blog, but that's all in the past now.

So today I have a product review.Its the Maybelline Fit Me Matte +Flawless foundation. It was the Rave product a while and I am just getting around to doing my own review for reasons you know already. It was created for oily skin types and its meant to keep your face matte +flawless. Hence the name, you get?

Nail of The Day | Intense Fuschia

 Hi dolls,

 How are y'all doing today?

I realized I haven't done a nail post in eons {as with every other subject, but please pardon.} Anyway I decided to paint my nails with this pretty nail polish.

But the unfortunate thing is that Its brandless, maybe not brandless, maybe the name tag was removed. either ways, I got it in a goodie bag from Makeup Maven NG at a bloggers' event a couple of months ago. I decided to not allow its "brandlessness" stop me from enjoying a beautiful manicure,lol.

The nail polish is an intense fuschia colour, and honestly just a coat is okay but i'm used to doing 2 coats, hence why i used 2 coats. It also has sparkles that even makes it all the more beautiful, I'm still gonna try to find out the name although that's almost impossible, wish me well :-}

I applied a base coat as usual and then 2 coats of the nail polish followed by my favorite top coat, Seche Vite and then I took the liberty of taking lots and lots of beautiful pictures

Oh and by the way, those are all mine

I hope you love the post, i enjoyed putting it together and I definitely enjoyed painting my nails. So cheers to the beginning to more awesome nail posts, yaay!!!

Till my next post
xoxo.

Event| Lagos makeup and Beauty connect

Hi dolls,

How's the new week treating you. Yesterday sunday 13th september was and I attended.Its an event for makeup artists and beauty lovers to connect and mingle. The turnout wasn't as I expected but it was still fun and informative.

  

 

 

  We discussed how to maximize social media to grow your beauty business.This was like the major topic I must say I really learnt so much. Lollipops also shared some general tips on growing your business. I even got carried away at some point I forgot to take pictures lol

    

So here I’d let the few pictures I took do the rest of the talking

Altogether it was a great learning experience. I also got to meet a couple more makeup artists in the industry. I'd be sure to keep you informed on subsequent Industry events

Have a lovely week, xx

Look Of The Day | Smoldering In Green

Hello divas,

I hope you had a great weekend and how are you enjoying the week? So Today I have a long story to tell you... maybe not so long. I have tried severally to take my own pictures with my DSLR camera using my 50mm lens but I just couldn't figure it out and that's one of the reasons i haven't been able to post makeup looks on the blog

PRODUCT REVIEW| THE MAKEUP BULLET

Hello beauties,

 Its been ages yea I know. Don't even know how to make you all understand where I've been and all I've been through but then I'm in a really good place now and I promise I wont be gone this long ever again.

Anyways, today I have a new product to review for you guys. Its  a revolutionary product designed by American makeup artist Eva Jane who is an award winning celebrity makeup artist .It is a blending sponge shaped in form of a bullet. You can wear it on a finger thereby freeing your hand to hold makeup brushes and other tools without having to drop your sponge

So according to them, The makeup bullet:

• Fits snugly on a finger for absolute control
• Flawlessly blends on every part of the face
• Frees hands to hold other stuff as well
• soft and gentle on skin

 They also say its hypo-allergenic, latex-free, washable and reusable

A little story about how the makeup bullet came to be

 So I tried it out and these are my honest thoughts about it

PROS:

looks like a rocket ready to take off, lol

• I really dont have much to say here other than to agree with all that they claim. the makeup bullet is a lifesaver.... you can take that info to the bank. It does all they clam and more. The makeup bullet blends like a dream. what more can I say

CONS:

• Its extra soft.Thats good cos it allows for a flawless application but also makes it liable to tearing easily. you have to take extra care if you have long nails or you wear really lenghty nail extensions

And that's about all the cons i can think of because this product is just perfect

• 

  users manual, lol

  
  To care for the makeup bullet is  pretty much like you care for your regular beauty blender sponge. the only thing you have to be extra careful about is the quality of the cleanser you choose to use. and with proper care a sponge should last you up to 3 months
  
  
  
   
  
  
   So dolls, pick up a bullet today to add to your ammunition, lol. Seriously though, try it out and be sure to leave a comment below on what you think about it. See you in my next post. ciao
